The second of two Omega watches to be featured this week, we are proud to present you with the truly inimitable Omega Seamaster Regatta Co-Axial Chronograph watch. Omega has produced numerous timepieces in association with its long standing partnership with the America’s Cup and Team New Zealand in general, and the ‘regatta timing’ function on this chronometer allows the exact regatta time intervals to be observed at a glance. Whether on land or sea though, the Seamaster Regatta is an outstandingly desirable wristwatch, and is yet another accomplished illustration of Omega’s renowned capabilities.
Omega has always prized its particular association with the maritime industry, and the brand is fiercely protective of its reputation in this area. Omega created the first divers’ watch and also boasts the only timepiece to have ever been fully certified as a maritime chronometer. Omega Seamaster watches are the definitive kings within the world of nautical horology, and this Seamaster Regatta is a generous tribute to this pioneering spirit of adventure. A steel bracelet and styled case with an engraved case back represents the bulk of the timepiece, although it is certainly the details of this wristwatch which manage to take centre stage.
Resplendent in a contrasting aesthetic of yellow and black, the Seamaster Regatta is an exquisite timepiece. The deep black dial is trimmed with yellow and uses the same colour on the second hand and both the five minute countdown tracker and the 30 minute recorder. Utilising white as a further spot colour on the hand, small second dial and hour markers, this is a chronograph full of vivid distinction. Surrounding the dial is a matt black unidirectional bezel, a gesture of special significance to practising divers, and the entire spectacle is encased beneath a scratch and anti-reflective treated sapphire crystal for consistently unmatched visibility.
No Omega Seamaster would be complete without a few technological considerations that are ideally crafted to excel in the seafaring arena. The crown of the Seamaster Regatta conforms to a screw-in design to remain watertight even under huge pressure, and the casing of the entire timepiece is capable of standing firm even in waters up to 300 metres deep. The Chronometer also makes use of a decompression helium escape valve. This enables the watch to be safely worn in professional pressure chambers, efficiently siphoning off any excess helium that may have become trapped inside the casing during a dive.
Undoubtedly the most exciting, and unique, innovation to be used within Omega’s timepieces is the brand’s signature Co-Axial escapement. The Caliber 3330 mechanism is a consummate example of this type of movement, and its free sprung balance has been optimised for unmatched standards of exactitude, constancy and resilience. With a power reserve of 52 hours, this certified chronometer movement benefits from the Co-Axial advantages of reduced friction, heightened efficiency and chronometric longevity. The increased warranty reflects the unfailing confidence that Omega places in this technological advance, and in accordance with this longer service intervals are also to be expected.
