Hands-on with the Omega Seamaster ETNZ Chrono

 While Omega’s new Globemaster range was one of the brand’s more discussed launches at this year’s Baselworld, its latest Seamaster Chronograph edition for Team New Zealand (ETNZ) was probably one of the most overlooked new releases — which is reflected by how difficult it still is to find official information about it. Fortunately, we at DiveIntoWatches.com had the chance to briefly handle one of these watches at Omega’s HQ in Bienne. Hence,orologi replica this photo-heavy essay on it for this week’s edition of Dive Watch Wednesday:

Earlier ETNZ versions were powered by Omega’s Caliber 3330, and limited to the same number as the year in which the watch was released (e.g., 2,013 for the 34th America’s Cup in 2013), so it’s probably safe to assume that we are dealing with similar specs for this watch (unless there is both a limited and an unlimited version). Also, we can assume that the 44-mm watch will most likely be dedicated to the 35th America’s Cup race in 2017, and that the crown at 10 o’clock is still a helium release valve (which still doesn’t make sense for a 300-meter water-resistant watch dedicated to sailing) – in this case it also acts as a date corrector btw.

All the above being the case, this Omega’s most essential feature is its 30-minute regatta timer at 3 o’clock, which measures the five-minute countdown to the beginning of a regatta. Another nice detail: all its chronograph-related features are in red.

The caseback features the “ETNZ” logo, as seen on the previous model.

First impressions: If you don’t like the typical regatta-timer look but are looking for a sailing-themed watch (and don’t mind getting some dive-watch-related features on top), Omega’s latest ETNZ chronograph (Ref. 212.92.44.50.99.001) might be something to look out for, since it also offers a very attractive color combination (also thanks to a titanium case and dial). We are not sure about the white date display – while it does offer some balance for the dial in combination with the 12 o’clock index, a gray one could have been an even better match. We do, however,orologi replica svizzeri love the overall look, the polished numbers on the matte ceramic bezel, the new regatta timer on the subdial and the red chronograph pusher at 2 o’clock.

Baume & Mercier celebrates summer 2025 with five new Riviera models

 Baume & Mercier introduces five new Riviera models that capture the spirit of summer with fresh colours and the collection’s distinctive sport-chic style, expressed through the iconic twelve-sided bezel and a design that adapts effortlessly to every occasion. The first model marks the return of the white dial, previously seen at the relaunch of the collection in 2021. A second model, combines a gold-tone dial with a Baumatic movement. Complementing these are three new women’s references featuring pastel dials. The Riviera 10829 stands out for its radiant white dial, decorated with a wave and mountain motif and framed by a black outer flange. This aesthetic recalls the look of the Riviera Chronograph 10827 presented at Watches & Wonders earlier this year. The faceted rhodium-plated hands, along with the riveted Roman numerals and hour markers, are filled with white Super-LumiNova X1 that glows blue in the dark. A black seconds hand introduces a crisp contrast to the clean d...
