FS: Omega Seamaster Chrono America's Cup Ti/Ta/18k RG

I have for sale an Omega Seamaster Chronograph 'America's Cup' in titanium, tantalum and 18k red gold (model no. 2294.50).

This model has been discontinued for some time, and even when it was still in production it was uncommon due to its high price relative to other Seamaster chronographs. In addition this special edition model carries the 'America's Cup' label on the dial, as opposed to the depth rating found on regular Seamaster chronographs.

The bezel of this watch is tantalum - it has a blue-grey tone compared to the grey of the titanium case - while the bezel insert and pushers are in red gold. All 3 metals complement each other very well, resulting in striking watch. The photo below displays the colour of the tantalum bezel.

In addition to the striking combination of case materials, this watch uses the cal. 3303 movement, instead of the cal. 3301 found in most other Seamaster chronographs. Although both are the same in terms of construction, the cal. 3303 found here is finished to a higher level, sporting Geneva stripes and perlage. In contrast the cal. 3301 has a simple matte grained finish.


This watch is in near mint condition, having been worn only a handful of times. There is however, a small nick on the lower edge of the case; the nick is miniscule and it is circled in the photo below.

All packaging is present - box, instruction booklet, as well as the warranty, model and pic cards. The warranty card is unstamped. The titanium bracelet has been sized for a 6.5 inch wrist, but all extra links are present.

I'm selling this watch because I already own its predecessor, the ref. 2296.80 (with Valjoux 7750) and have decided to keep that instead of this one.

Retail on this watch while it was still being made was $6100. I'm asking $3590 plus shipping. I'm located in Singapore, and have lots of references available. I can be reached at su_jiaxianNOSPAM@hotmail.com (remove NOSPAM).
