OMEGA
SPEEDMASTER X-33 REGATTA ETNZ
LIMITED EDITION
As a main partner to America’s Cup winner
Emirates Team New Zealand, Omega has equipped
each member of the crew with this new watch,
which is limited to 2,017 pieces. The Speedmaster
X-33’s Regatta function keeps track of the critical
countdown and race time with its own distinct
ringing sequence. (The Speedmaster X-33 Regatta
is one of two watches made in support of the Kiwi
crew. Omega also created the Seamaster Planet
Ocean ETNZ Deep Black.) Analog functions include
hours, minutes and seconds, as well as a racing
countdown. Digital functions show three different
time zones, chronograph, timer, calendar indication,
two alarms and perpetual calendar.
Cased in grade 2 titanium, the analog-digital
watch has a black dial with blue rings and white
transferred markings, as well as cut outs for digital
readings. The bezel ring is a ceramic/titanium
mix and features stars at the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o’clock
positions, a design meant to recall the New Zealand
flag. The caseback is stamped with an Emirates
Team New Zealand logo and engraved with the
words “Challenger for the 35th America’s Cup.” and
the limited edition number. The watch is presented
on a black-coated nylon fabric strap with blue
rubber lining and blue stitching. Price: $5,900.
