Omega has a tradition of celebrating major sporting events, as they did for the Olympics this month. Now, from Paris to Barcelona, Omega continues this legacy. To commemorate its role as the Official Timekeeper at the 37th America’s Cup in the iconic city of Barcelona, Omega has unveiled a new Seamaster Diver 300M, featuring a regatta scale and a commemorative caseback.

The Swiss watchmaker reprises its role as Official Timekeeper for this year’s edition of the legendary ocean duel: The Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup, taking place from August 22nd to October 27th, 2024.

The 42 mm Seamaster Diver 300M in stainless steel boasts a blue ceramic unidirectional bezel with a regatta scale, which includes two 5-minute pre-start sections and a START section marked with a regatta-inspired flag. The sapphire crystal caseback also features the blue logo, the "Auld Mug," refers to the America's Cup trophy, and the letter "B" for Barcelona.

The white ceramic dial, with a matte finish, is laser-engraved with waves in positive relief. The central seconds hand is adorned with an America’s Cup trophy counterweight, matching the blue of the Barcelona logo.

Powering the watch is OMEGA’s Co-Axial certified as Master Chronometer Caliber 8806. Both the watch and its movement meet the strict standards for precision, performance, and magnetic resistance set by the independent Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

This watch is presented in a commemorative blue box with red stitching and is available with a stainless steel bracelet at USD 6,500 / 23,900 AED or a blue rubber strap at USD 6,200 / 22,800 AED.
