The Omega Seamaster has a storied history that dates back to 1948 when the first Seamaster model was introduced to celebrate Omega’s 100th anniversary. Initially designed as a robust and water-resistant timepiece for active individuals, the Seamaster has since evolved into one of Omega’s most iconic and diverse collections.

The Seamaster gained international recognition in 1957 with the introduction of the Seamaster 300, a professional diver’s watch. This model laid the foundation for Omega’s association with underwater exploration and the world of diving.

In 1993, Omega introduced the Seamaster Professional 300M, featuring the iconic blue wave-pattern dial. This model became particularly famous as James Bond’s choice of timepiece in the film “GoldenEye.” Subsequent Seamaster models have incorporated innovative materials, such as ceramics and Liquidmetal, along with advancements in technology, including the Co-Axial escapement.

The Seamaster collection has expanded to include various iterations, including the Seamaster Diver 300M, Seamaster Aqua Terra, and Seamaster Planet Ocean, catering to different preferences and lifestyles. The Seamaster’s enduring legacy is marked by its association with precision, durability, and a deep connection to maritime adventures.
