The Seamaster is an important collection for Omega both for its historical significance and the modern innovations it offers today. It was launched in 1948 as part of Omega’s centenary celebrations as an elegant sea-worthy timepiece that would not look out of place in “town, sea, and country”. At the time, the watchmaker was already recognised as a reliable producer of shock-and water-resistant timepieces used in diving prior to the war and by Air Force and Navy pilots during WWII.
To celebrate the Seamaster’s Diamond Jubilee this year, it has dropped a slew of new watches for the summer. Earlier, Omega introduced the Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer in a new titanium case and colour. Now, it’s dropped another seven models with its distinct seahorse logo, ranging from classic three-handers to the iconic 1957 Seamaster 300.
