Sailing is the endless freedom to discover new places, to hear the sound of the sea and to let the wind blow you away. Once on the water, one wishes to be on this journey forever, it is a kind of celebration of one’s own existence. Such an adventure calls for a companion, a watch made for all our experiences. It should be a timepiece that meets all our needs: elegant, timeless, waterproof and comfortable to wear. Today, we’re happy to present the 4 most beautiful yachting watches by OMEGA. The sea has something magical, a spirit and a soul. OMEGA has transformed this idea into 4 incredibly beautiful watches.  Pictures & rights by destination-sailing.com elan sailing yacht

The 4 most beautiful Yachting Watches from OMEGA

Today we show the ideal companion for every adventurers, sailors or watch enthusiasts. OMEGA watches are more than just timepieces – they tell a story of the spirit of discovery, the quest for perfection, precision and aesthetics. Today, we present 4 incredibly beautiful yachting watches. 

The OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M

The design

When it comes to yachting watches, the new version of the OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra looks beautifully tidy, well thought-out with a simple and elegant design.  The date display moves from 3 to 6 o’clock, just like the first OMEGA from 1952. The dial is inspired by the deck of sailing yachts and is made of teak. In contrast to its predecessors, the lines now run horizontally.

Latest caliber with Master Chronometer certification

OMEGA’s new movements are not only a visual eye-catcher – to obtain the certificate ‘Master Chronometer’, a finished watch with a COSC chronometer movement must successfully pass a METAS-approved test series in which the everyday wearing conditions are simulated and the insensitivity to water and magnetic fields is controlled.

The design

The legendary Seamaster Diver celebrates its 25th birthday. It has been reinterpreted and revised and now covers 42mm. The ceramic dial appears with fine waves that perfectly match a sailing trip. Another detail that has changed: The helium escape valve now has the shape of a cone.

Our sailing trip to Slovenia with Elan Yachts

Performance Yacht

After we returned from Cannes with a lot of beautiful memories, one thing was for sure: we love to go yachting. A few months passed, and now we’re on the road with the Range Rover Velar towards Portoroz, a small port town in Slovenia. After the Italian border we follow incredibly beautiful, long coast roads which we will not forget for a while. Our sailing trip with elan yachts should be a very special one…

Our sailing trip with Elan Yachts

Our day starts at 04:30 in the morning, the town is still asleep, while the first fishermen get their boats and nets ready and the sun slowly rises. We prepare the boat, and off we go on the water. Such a morning sailing trip has something mythical; there is absolute silence, you only hear the wind, a few seagulls and the sea.

The skipper pulls on the ropes and manoeuvres the crew like a director with his orchestra. Unbelievable how smooth and perfect this all works. The sails are tense and the first gust of wind sets us in motion.

It is a form of floating, while one feels this mixture of total freedom and adventure with a good pinch of discovery spirit. When sailing, there is only the crew, the sailing yacht and mother nature. As it happens, you get to understand that you are part of a greater power and as you stand there and become aware of it, you feel happy and humble.

The whisper of the wind, the sound of the sea are the experience of happiness and existence itself.

Anyone who has the opportunity, should definitely put such a sailing trip on the list – it is an incredible feeling!

It is unbelievable what you can do on such a sailing yacht: You can glide across the ocean for days, anchor on beautiful beaches, observe sea animals, grill, cruise, bathe or lie comfortably in the sun.

Our Journey – Freedom on the Water

You know that feeling of freedom when the light morning breeze touches your face and you feel soft sunrays on your skin? All you can hear is small waves splashing and birds singing as you get out on the water early in the morning when everyone is still asleep.

This is the feeling we had during our journey with OMEGA and Team Tilt at Lake Garda in Italy. It was incredible to see the dedication of the young and dynamic sailors team as well as the true-hearted support of OMEGA!

OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Deep Black’ and sailing 

With OMEGA breaking numerous precision records and the brands profound knowledge and experience in manufacturing durable timepieces, an OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Deep Black’ is one of the most suitable and reliable companions for sailing. Not to mention the magnetic field resistance as well as the brands expertise in various different watch making fields.

OMEGAs adventurous pioneering spirit is underlined by how much effort and resources the brand puts into research and advancing technologies.

It was a great experience working alongside OMEGA’s design team. They respected my input and were 100% committed to producing a timepiece fit for boat racing at the highest level – Glenn Ashby, Skipper of Emirates Team New Zealand

Not only does the ‘Swissness’ go hand in hand with the brand but also the shared passion for precision and team spirit. There is no place for the maverick outsider in sailing. It’s a team sport and everyone must work in synch to achieve great results. OMEGA takes the same approach to watchmaking.

Team Tilt and its passion for Freedom and Flying

Team Tilt is a sailing squad that offers structure and support to young Swiss sailors. It began in 1987 when Alex Schneiter christened his first boat, a mini 6.50, ‘Tilt’ after its sponsor, Tilt Sportswear. 

The squad represented Switzerland at the Red Bull Youth America’s Cup in 2013 and in 2017. The GC32 is a scaled-down version of the boats used in the America’s Cup. Fast, exciting, spectacular and fun, they are amongst the world’s fastest catamarans.

Successfully mastering the art of Foiling

The GC32 was initially only used as a training platform by Team Tilt to improve its flying skills and to master the art of foiling. 

For the non-sailors: What is foiling? A hydrofoil sailboat is a sailboat like the catamarans used at the GC32 with wing-like foils mounted under the hull. As the craft increases its speed (from about 15 knots) the hydrofoils lift up the hull and out of the water, greatly reducing wetted area, resulting in decreased drag and increased speed. A sailing hydrofoil can achieve speeds exceeding twice the wind speed.

OMEGA made it possible for us to witness the Team Tilts enthusiasm and passion for sailing first-hand during the last training before the GC32 World Championship. 

Experiencing the complexity of sailing and feeling the excitement of the team made us want to start sailing ourselves. It is incredible how in sailing it does not only depend on your skills but mainly on how you can adapt to the weather and wind conditions. The sailors know exactly what the wind is doing and which ropes to pull at the right moment. 

The team certainly proved their skills as they ended up winning the GC32 World Championship 2018 at Lake Garda. Big Congratulations Team Tilt!
