The Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition
Launched to mark the lead-up to the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona, the Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black Emirates Team New Zealand Edition pays tribute to the defending champions by blending the deepest black with the bold colour of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo.
To help the kiwis catch the breeze in Barcelona, OMEGA drew design inspiration from the sail of the Emirates Team New Zealand logo, highlighting specific elements of the watch in the same striking colour. The result is a unique America’s Cup collectable in celebration of OMEGA’s support of Emirates Team New Zealand, which began in 1995.
“OMEGA’s Emirates Team New Zealand tribute looks as good as it performs and is a stylish salute to the talented team.”
