The Omega Seamaster

The Omega Seamaster is one of Omega‘s most important watch models ever since its introduction in 1948 when the watch was launched to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary. These robust and elegant diving watches are iconic for their timeless design and waterproofness. Omega Seamaster watches come in many different shapes, sizes, and designs which means there is always an Omega Seamaster watch for you.

The history of the Omega Seamaster

First introduced in 1948 the Omega Seamaster was created with military-style watches in mind. Most waterproof watches around this time had lead gaskets until Omega released the O-ring Gasket. This new technology made for completely waterproof watches and made the Omega Seamaster diver watches the best on the market.

James Bond Omega collaboration

Ever since 1995 Omega is James Bond’s first choice of wristwear. Since then Mr. Bond has worn many Omega Seamaster models in his movie and even added his own James Bond watch to the Seamaster collection. In the famous movie Skyfall, Mr. Bond even wore a Seamaster Planet Ocean and there was a quick shot of an Omega Seamaster Aqua terra. It’s safe to say Mr. Bond enjoys the Seamaster line the most!

Modern Seamasters

Ever since the first Seamaster was produced technology has advanced a lot and so has watchmaking. Modern watches make use of new materials and new technology like Omega’s very own co-axial master chronometer. An Omega watch that uses many new technologies is the Planet Ocean Chronograph.
