Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of The Moon Alinghi – Sailing Watch

Posted by lifata on February 19th, 2024

The Swiss not only make watches, but also sail. Omega succeeded in the former, and Alinghi in the latter. The Swiss professional team Alinghi has twice won the America's Cup, one of sailing's toughest competitions. And this is not the team's only achievement, as they have eight D35 trophies, seven Bol d'Or victories, four Extreme Sailing Series championships, one GC32 Racing Tour championship and a GC32 World Championship title. Omega has been competing in the America's Cup since 1995 and became Alinghi's partner and timekeeper in May 2019. In 2020, the luxury watchmaker celebrated this collaboration with the release of the Speedmaster Dark Side of The Moon Alinghi.

Inspired by the Alinghi team's catamaran, Omega created a watch replicas uk to match the design and materials of this technologically advanced boat. Omega took the innovative Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon as its basis and added a number of features that made the new version of the watch unique.

The 44.25mm case is made from lightweight, scratch-resistant black zirconium oxide ceramic. Every element of the case is made of this ultra-durable material, including the crown, case back, pushers and bezel. The watch's water resistance is 50 m.

Inside is the caliber 1865. The manually wound movement with a power reserve of 48 hours is decorated with innovative decoration that is reminiscent of the new Alinghi TF35 catamaran. With this carbon fiber pattern applied to the bridges, Omega replica follows the interior of the boat's carbon hull. To do this, the company used laser ablation technology. The same method is used to create a honeycomb effect on the headplate and bridge of the drum.

The replica watch uk also contains a number of references to the Alinghi team. The most obvious one is located at 6 o'clock - this is a disk with the logo of the Swiss sailing team, which replaced the hand. When the chronograph function is activated, the Alinghi logo disc rotates. In addition, the Alinghi logo is placed on the chronograph start/stop button. The tachymeter scale is filled with Super-LumiNova and red lacquer for increased visibility in the dark. The redesigned minute counter now functions as a regatta timer and easily performs the traditional five-minute countdown. The Speedmaster Dark Side Of The Moon Alinghi is attached to the wrist with a perforated red and black rubber strap and fastened with a ceramic buckle.
