Take your father’s day gift to the next level with this unique and intoxicating timepiece.  Raising a shot of Casamigos Tequila to their close and long-standing friendship, the Swiss watchmaker OMEGA and fast growing spirits company Casamigos Tequila and Mezcal, have proudly teamed up to launch a brand-new mezcal-inspired dive watch for customers in the United States.

Eighty limited-edition pieces will be available exclusively in the United States. Officially named the Seamaster Planet Ocean “Deep Black” Casamigos, this James-Bond-inspired watch is a tribute to Casamigos and Tequila, which was co-founded by longtime Omega brand ambassadors George Clooney, Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman. Both George Clooney and Rande Gerber have special relationships with OMEGA stretching back over  many years. While George is one of OMEGA’s most well-know and visible brand ambassadors, Rande has established his own connection through his wife Cindy Crawford, an OMEGA ambassador since 1995, and his children Kaia and Presley,who joined the brand in 2017.

A combination of a GMT model and diving watch, the new “Deep Black” Casamigos features a 45.5 mm case crafted from black ceramic, which has been finished in a unique matte texture inspired by the newly-launched Casamigos Mezcal. On the matte black ceramic dial, the wording is highlighted in the exact shade of teal as the trademarked Casamigos Tequila and Mezcal agave logo: a color also used on the tips of two of the four hands. Turning the watch over reveals a sapphire crystal case back,which has been specially treated to resemble the dark glass of the Casamigos Mezcal bottle. It is also lacquered with a white Casamigos Mezcal logo and Limited-Edition number.

Casamigos Tequila and Mezcal cofounder Rande Gerber explained his ambitions when creating the watch: “Design is very personal to me. When I designed the Casamigos Mezcal bottle the key was to create something unique that I want to have on my bar. We used the same philosophy for our OMEGA collaboration; we worked closely to design something that was true to us and that we want to wear.”

OMEGA’s Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Deep Black’ Casamigos can only be purchased from OMEGA Boutiques in the USA at a retail price of USD $11,600 + tax! Let us know if you are one of the 80 who find one of these exclusive watches!
