Seamaster Regatta 37th America's Cup

In Context

At 46.75 mm it is a large watch — well above this catalogue’s 40 mm median, and enough to dominate a narrow wrist. At 15.6 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

216.92.46.79.10.001 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a white dial with a titanium, ceramic case. It was a limited edition.
