Vibrant colours are a hallmark of seaworthy style — from the optimal visibility provided by a classic yellow rain jacket, the orange bezel of the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, $11430 (left), the evocative ocean-blue strap of the Omega America’s Cup Planet Ocean, $12,400 (below). An elegant women’s option is the Omega Ladymatic, $41,150, a timeless design first launched in 1955, worn here by Alida alongside a Karen Walker jacket, Laing top, Zara shorts and Ahlem eyewear. Benda wears Zara polo and pants, Hallensteins belt.

Crisp whites have long formed the uniform for seafarers, the navy, and yachting aficionados, and they still play a key role in sailing-inspired style. They also help make accessories shine — like the Omega Speedmaster Chronograph, $17,255, with its elegant leather strap, creamy cappuccino palette, and a rather apt seahorse medallion that can be found on the case back. Alida wears Mahsa blouse, Army Surplus shorts and hat.

A cotton-collared rugby jersey and crisp white trousers are a laid-back yet polished tactic. With a sporty stainless steel bracelet strap, black ceramic bezel and the hypnotic wave motif of its face, the Omega Diver 300M, $9150, pairs breezily well with a classic preppy ensemble such as this — also boasting technical attributes that make it water resistant up to 300 metres. Equally well-suited to such a look is the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, $11430 (bottom) which boasts a dashing orange bezel. Benda wears R.M. Williams jersey, Zara pants, Ahlem sunglasses, H&M belt.

With its celestial face, diamonds on the bezel and hour markers, and sleek bracelet strap, the Omega Ladies Constellation timepiece, $24,500, is a winning choice — sure to be the star of any nautical look. A navy outfit, such as this piece by Hej Hej, brings out the inky hue of the aventurine quartz glass dial.
