Omega Seamaster 300m Racing Americas Cup Regatta Timer Titanium 2269.50.00
Omega Seamaster 300m Racing Americas Cup Regatta Timer Titanium 2269.50.00
The Omega Seamaster 300M America's Cup 'Racing' was introduced in 2003 in honor of Omega's partnership with Team New Zealand for the America's Cup, and is a very cool take on an unusual complication, the Regatta timer. For those that haven't heard of this before, a regatta timer is used to count down the amount of time remaining before the competing yachts are allowed to cross the start line during a yacht race. Essentially you run the chronograph function, and as the chrono passes through each minute a dot indicator fills on the dial. The first 5 minutes are designated blue, then red for the next 5 minutes, correlating with the colouring on the chrono subdial. Very cool to watch, even if you're not timing a race!
Featuring the classic Seamaster 300M case design, it measures in at 44mm but remains extremely comfortable on the wrist as it's produced in titanium and mounted to a titanium bracelet. It's powered by the Omega Cal. 3602, which is based on the ETA 2892-A2 fitted with a module by Dubois-Depraz for its additional functions.
This particular example is in TZ good condition. Case, bezel and bracelet shows some light scuffs and small scratches from regular careful wear, and a few small dings and nicks. Please see images for full details of condition.
Service history is unknown, but it's due for one. Running at around +15 secs per day at 233 amplitude. Chrono/Regatta function operates, but when resetting the chrono hand settles at 11:59-12:01, and varies each time. The timing disc also partially fills one of the dots on either end so sitting slightly off, which will be related to the chrono seconds hand. An Omega service will sort it out, and it has been priced accordingly.
