Emirates Team New Zealand

The defending champions are the New Zealanders of Emirates Team New Zealand, led by “helmsman” Peter Burling. After their triumph in 2021 off Auckland, the Kiwis are once again the favorites. Their 23-meter-long, 4-ton high-performance monohull was specifically designed for the sailing area off Barcelona and the team has been preparing for the final races for more than 2 years, in which the winner of the elimination races always competes against the winner of the last America’s Cup.

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ America’s Cup

If you look at the 45.5 mm large and towering 19 mm high matte black, scratch-resistant ceramic case with its black, unidirectional rotating ceramic bezel with a white 60-minute scale, one thing quickly becomes clear: the watch, which is waterproof to a depth of 600 meters, has a helium valve and a screwed base with Emirates Team New Zealand embossed on the base, is made for tough use on the water and not for wearing under the shirt cuff, despite its normal weight of 159 grams.

The time is measured by the in-house 4 Hz automatic caliber Omega 9900. This is a certified Master Chronometer caliber with column wheel, vertical clutch and co-axial escapement with silicon balance and silicon hairspring. Thanks to two barrels, the movement offers a power reserve of 60 hours and robust resistance to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ reference 215.92.46.51.01.003 watch comes with a black and turquoise rubber strap and black clasp. The price of the watch is 14,500 euros.
