Why We Love This Watch

Omega Seamaster, Omega's oldest and most varied watch line in their catalog, surprises collectors now and then with its depth. Started in 1948 as to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Omega, it was based on the Omega Marine, the original dive watch made in 1932. Eventually, the Omega Seamaster joined the ranks of iconic dive watches such as the TAG Heuer Aquaracer, Panerai Radiomir, and the Rolex Submariner.

It's pretty surprising seeing a dressy Seamaster, let alone it surviving swimming depths! A simple, elegant three-handed automatic watch, The Omega Seamaster's elegance cleverly disguises its durability, making sure that it can meet a man's needs from the rigors of daily commuting to the intensity of a boardroom. A class of its own with its elegant dauphine hands, simple dial layout, and its elegant "beads of rice" style bracelet, this Seamaster look very modern despite it being more than 60 years old. As the famous saying goes, "style is a way to say who you are without having to speak" and what better way to embody that by donning such an understated, yet eye-catching Seamaster.
