I personal the usual Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M on rubber strap (black and orange colorway) so I’m fairly conversant in what this America’s Cup LE ought to put on and really feel like. Frankly, these are top-notch of their ending and high quality (offers Rolex an actual run for its cash), and the rubber strap is without doubt one of the most snug on the market. The case is a bit of thick, however the water resistance and in-house METAS-certified motion present a minimum of some justification there.
The touches distinctive to this LE are lots: the white and pink scale on the bezel adopted by the “START” textual content, the race emblem because the seconds hand counterweight (which I’ve a sense might be love or hate), the pink strip of lume on the hour hand, and let’s not neglect what could also be my favourite half — the white dial. Additionally, the blue and pink rubber strap is exclusive to this piece, and there’s an America’s Cup emblem embossed on the sapphire crystal on the caseback.
