Speedmaster X-33 Special Team Edition America’s Cup

In Context

At 42 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

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.

3229.50.06 stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a black dial with a titanium case. It was a limited edition. Beyond the time it carries a chronograph.
