For instance, in June 2019, the brand unveiled an all-new variation called the Seamaster Ultra Deep Professional at the British Museum in London. However, this model has also proven to be one of the most capable tool watches in the OMEGA family. The Seamaster may have solidified its place in pop-culture for its affiliation with the James Bond movies. Just a few years later in 2006, the brand debuted another James Bond limited edition version of the model: the Seamaster Planet Ocean. In conjunction, OMEGA released a limited edition version of the Seamaster inscribed with the 007 logo. In 2002, the James Bond series celebrated its 40th anniversary. The ties between the Seamaster and the movie franchise have even prompted OMEGA to create an exclusive, commemorative watch in celebration of the 007 agent. This has since become the most recognizable James Bond version of the iconic model. In more recent films, 007 is typically wearing the Seamaster 300. However, throughout the series, James Bond sports a number of different variations of the model. Since then, you can find the Seamaster in every major Bond film. He notably sported a Seamaster Quartz Professional in the movie GoldenEye. In 1995, actor Pierce Brosnan took over the role of James Bond in the iconic film series. The Seamaster gained widespread popularity in the 1990s, when it became the official watch of 007 agent James Bond.
Most models also come equipped with a helium release valve, which allows the watch to decompress during a dive. The Seamaster watches typically feature in a stainless steel case construction with a sapphire crystal. Most variations of the Seamaster showcase luminescent hands and hour markers for optimal visibility at night or under water. The result was the creation of two subcategories of the Seamaster: the sportier Seamaster Professional and dressier Seamaster Aqua Terra.Īlthough there are many different iterations of the Seamaster, a few common features characterize the model. To help set the Seamaster apart, they decided to focus their attention on developing its capabilities, namely its water resistance. As a result, OMEGA faced competition from other popular models, like the Rolex Submariner. Over the next two decades, sport watches began to increase in popularity.
The brand wanted it to appeal to those who could appreciate its functionality and who needed a dress watch for everyday use. They strived to create a timepiece that was more versatile. However, OMEGA wanted the Seamaster to be more than just a dive watch. It drew inspiration from the brand’s other dive watches, like the Marine, which was OMEGA's first water resistant timepiece. OMEGA created the initial design with sailors in mind. To commemorate the occasion, they debuted the Seamaster. That year, the brand celebrated its 100th anniversary.
The history of the OMEGA Seamaster begins in 1948.
