This is the one I was thinking about *LINK*
In Response To: Re: America's Cup ()

It also has America's Cup markings, but it has the countdown feature which is ONLY used in match racing to count down to the time you have to go into the "start box" and come out (hopefully at full speed) exactly 5.00 minutes later.

If you check out the Omega Ambassadors, you will see the winning skippers are wearing the 2294.50, which is the SS version of the Ti one I have. Other members of the forum have told me that the 3301 movement in these watches is of a higher quality than the 1120 movement in the watch you are looking at, and so far mine has behaved flawlessly under assorted abusive conditions including open ocean sailing.
