Seamaster Diver 300M

The Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup is crafted in stainless steel, showcasing OMEGA’s signature wave-pattern dial, a hallmark of this model since its debut in 1993. The blue ceramic unidirectional bezel incorporates a regatta scale, complete with two 5-minute pre-start sections and a starting segment inspired by a regatta flag. The dial’s nautical essence is further accentuated with a white ceramic surface, laser-engraved to produce a wave-like relief, adding texture and dimension to the matte finish. Additionally, the central seconds hand carries a counterweight shaped like the America’s Cup trophy, echoing the blue of Barcelona’s America’s Cup logo.

With a 42mm case diameter, the Omega watch is powered by the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, certified by METAS for precision, magnetic resistance, and durability. The case back proudly displays the America’s Cup “Auld Mug” and “B for Barcelona” logo on its sapphire crystal, tying the watch’s design firmly to this elite competition.

OMEGA’s Quick-Change system allows for effortless swaps between the stainless steel bracelet and blue rubber strap. Presented in a commemorative box with red stitching, the Seamaster Diver 300M America’s Cup offers sailing fans and collectors a sleek, high-performance timepiece that merges OMEGA’s diving heritage with America’s Cup spirit.
