As explained by Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA, “The new watch is about two great Swiss brands combining their passion for innovation and sailing. To match ALINGHI’s state-of-the-art boat creation, we’ve harnessed some truly impressive technology, along with the best materials and a very original design concept.”

The choice of
Speedmaster perfectly reflects the fast boats that fly across the water. Perhaps most impressive is the watch’s expertly decorated
Calibre 1865. The manual-winding movement is ideal for sailing crews due to its lighter and thinner design. To enhance the movement,
OMEGA has taken inspiration from
ALINGHI’s new
TF35 catamaran.

Using laser ablation, the mainplate and barrel bridge have been given a honeycomb effect, similar to the interior of the
ALINGHI boat’s carbon hull. The same laser ablation technology has then been employed to decorate all other bridges with a black carbon pattern, also inspired by the carbon that is used for the boat’s hull.

For the overall colour coding,
OMEGA has matched the watch with the
ALINGHI logo, which includes red to represent passion, and black for technology.

This can be seen through features such as the perforated black and red rubber strap, as well as the
44.25 mm case in black zirconium oxide ceramic. Along with a tachymeter scale in Super-LumiNova, the outward design is also notable for the
ALINGHI logo on the stop/start pusher, which has been created in red varnish.

Two of the watch’s subdials are also worthy of attention. At 3 o’clock, a 4-minute or 5-minute tactical time display has been included in red, helping with precision on the water.

At 6 o’clock, the traditional subdial design has been replaced with a sandblasted and anodized aluminium disc, which features the
ALINGHI logo transferred in red. The team’s logo represents the letter “a” and is inspired by two boats churning the seas before the start of a match race. The logo rotates on the watch when the chronograph function is used.

It’s also a perfect view of the
Calibre 1865inside. Perhaps the most impressive feature is the watch’s decorated
Calibre 1865, which has been revealed through a blackened skeletonised dial. The manual-winding movement is ideal for life at high speed due to its lighter and thinner design, while the superb detailing is reminiscent of
ALINGHI’s sleek catamaran craftsmanship.

The alternate minute track reveals transferred red dots, while the hour markers and hour / minute hands are blackened and diamond polished. Even the screws have been blackened to match the
ALINGHI logo theme. The completed movement provides a power reserve of
48 hours.
