Omega Seamaster Regatta

Nu är ju denna nyligen uppvisade specielmodell verkligen // verkligen en toolklocka eftersom den byggts för tävlingssegling, enbart. På så sätt borde jag kunna förlåta dess gräsliga design, men det går inte. Det går inte, Omega!! För Omega Seamaster Regatta är nåt av det fulaste jag sett, åtminstone sen Rolex dunkade ut Day-Date 36 Jigsaw som står sig som tidernas fulaste armbandsur. Alla kategorier. Go!

"While the 37th America’s Cup is in full swing in Barcelona, Spain, Omega introduces the Seamaster Regatta, a new X-33-based watch that’s designed for sailors, featuring both analogue and digital displays, and fully equipped for life at sea. Despite being part of the X-33 family of instruments, the new Seamaster Regatta is first and foremost… a Seamaster. As such, its grade 5 titanium case has classic traits of Omega’s diving collection, with lyre-shaped lugs and a scalloped rotating bezel that’s inspired by the one used on the Seamaster Diver 300M. There are, however, strong differences with these classic automatic models, including fairly impressive proportions, with a 46.75mm diameter – it’s a striking watch, no doubt about that, yet it’s close to 2mm larger than a classic X-33 Skywalker (measured at 45mm).

However, the length of the case remains pleasant at 48.5mm and titanium makes it light, with a total weight of about 90 grams. Like all models from this family of watches, it’s loaded with pushers (4 of them, all rubber-coated), which are colour-coded depending on their function – one in red and three in blue – and paired with a sandblasted crown with laser engraved Ω logo. Water-resistance is rated at 50 metres."
