Omega
Omega’s role as Official Timekeeper to the iShares Cup is the latest exciting chapter in the Swiss prestige watch company’s proud nautical history. The Omega Marine Chronometer wristwatch earned its place in the record books when it helped French sailing legend Eric Tabarly to victories in the OSTAR east-west transatlantic race in 1964 and again in 1976. Omega then remained closely associated with sailing as Official Timekeeper of the Transat 2004 and is sponsor of the America’s Cup 2007 competitor Emirates Team New Zealand. Omega is well represented by such exceptional sailors as Ellen MacArthur, Russell Coutts, Dean Barker and Mateusz Kusznierewicz, all of whom serve as Omega brand ambassadors, and the Omega Seamaster remains a popular choice among sailors in need of a highly precise, robust and reliable timepiece. In the wider world of sport Omega has been the Official Timekeeper to the Olympic Games since 1932, and through numerous partnership agreements at the top level of competition in various other sporting disciplines such as golf, athletics, swimming and bobsleigh Omega has actively supported for many years the ideal of perfection and precision, personified by the brand’s sports ambassadors such as Michael Schumacher, Michael Phelps and Ernie Els.
