OMEGA and ALINGHI have joined forces in a brand new sailing partnership, just days before the launch of the GC32 season in Villasimius. Dubai, United Arab Emirates - May 29, 2019: For more than 25 years, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker has shown a proud commitment to the world of sailing and it will continue that passion by accompanying the ALINGHI team on its competitive circuits. Ernesto Bertarelli, founder and skipper of ALINGHI said, 'ALINGHI and OMEGA share the same dedication to innovation, technology and speed. We are proud to represent Switzerland together and I am delighted to combine the excellence and know-how of the renowned watchmaker with the skill and success of ALINGHI on the water. In this 50th anniversary year of Apollo 11 and the OMEGA Speedmaster’s legendary role aboard that mission, I can recall when we won the America's Cup under the Swiss colours. In the sailing world, that was comparable to the first steps on the moon. Since then, our team has always striven for perfection. With a new partner sharing this same vision, I look forward to writing an exciting new chapter in our story with OMEGA by our side.' Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of OMEGA said, 'We are truly honoured to begin this partnership with ALINGHI. Beyond sharing the same nationality, our two brands are inhabited by the same pioneering spirit and a passion for invention. ALINGHI has shown great vision throughout its history and OMEGA is looking forward to supporting the team in future competitions.'
