The subdial at 6 o’clock, also using a red hand, records up to 12 chronograph hours and is located directly above the date window. The red hand on the subdial at 3 o’clock functions not only as the 30-minute counter for the watch’s chronograph function, but also, in conjunction with the red scale encircling the subdial, to count down the five-minute interval before the start of a regatta. The small seconds subdial is at nine o’clock. The Omega Seamaster Diver ETNZ Limited Edition, of which only 2,013 pieces will be made, has a matte-black dial, encircled by a red seconds track, with skeletonized central hour and minute hands. Omega’s logo is prominently featured on the jib, both hulls and the wing sails of the new AC72 boat. That year, Omega “ambassador” Sir Peter Blake led Team New Zealand to victory in San Diego. Omega’s association with Emirates Team New Zealand dates back to 1995, the last year that the Cup, the world’s most prestigious sailing race, was contested in the United States. After the press conference and presentation of the watch, Team New Zealand launched its new ETNZ AC72 boat into the Bay for a training session. The watch was presented to ETNZ captain Dean Barker, who has been an Omega “brand ambassador” since 2001, by Omega President Stephen Urquhart during a special event held at the ETNZ base camp in the City by the Bay. It is water-resistant to a depth of 150 meters (500 feet).Omega commemorated the 34th America’s Cup sailing race, and celebrated its continuing role as Official Timekeeper for Emirates Team New Zealand, last week in San Francisco with the release of a special commemorative timepiece, the Omega Seamaster Diver ETNZ Limited Edition. A seahorse, which is the symbol of the Seamaster collection, is stamped on the case back. The polished and brushed stainless steel case has the distinctive shape and characteristic horns of the Seamaster line. For maximum readability, the skeleton hour and minute hands are coated with Super Luminova, and the hands of the chronograph counters are red. The silver and the black dial has applied, facetted hour markers, with luminous dots above each. The Omega caliber 3602 self-winding movement is chronometer-certified and has a 40-hour power reserve. The dots gradually fill with a different color – first blue, then red ─ as each successive five-minute period elapses. The “start of the regatta” function clearly indicates the ten minutes preceding the starting signal by means of a special five-dot indicator. Particular attention was paid to the key needs of the skipper and his crew during a regatta. This new model, with its carefully designed aesthetics and readability, is sure to appeal to America’s Cup fans as well as the wider public.
Designed for the regatta, this attractive watch is also a high-precision instrument capable of measuring performance to one-eighth of a second. The Omega Seamaster NZL-32 combines elegance with functionality.
In honor of Emirates Team New Zealand and to mark its role as the Team’s official watch, Omega is proud to present its new Seamaster NZL-32 chronograph, named after the boat that won the America’s Cup in 1995 and developed in collaboration with Omega Ambassador Dean Barker, skipper of Team New Zealand. Read on about a sneak preview of the latest to join the race. They are always commemorating events and significant causes with their exclusive limited edition ranges.
