In the world of luxury watches, professional watches have a status that no other category is able to match up to. In professional watches, from the POV of functionality and styles, diving watches lead by miles. And, when it comes to diving watches, the best and the broadest product line is presented by Omega in the form of the legendary Seamaster.
Omega unveiled a remarkable collection of timepieces designed to excel in various environments on the occasion of its centennial. Among these celebrated watches, the Seamaster quickly emerged as a global favorite and captured the hearts of watch enthusiasts across the world.
In 2023, 75 years down the line, Omega proudly commemorates the impressive journey of the Seamaster in the horological world by introducing 11 new editions of its iconic models. This year on the 75th Anniversary of the collection celebrated at Mykonos, Greece, the brand revealed new editions to the collection. This breathtaking assembly featured the models from the collection, now adorned in an enchanting hue called “Summer Blue.” The inspiration behind this mesmerizing color lies in the depths of the ocean, where these diver-approved timepieces truly shine, with its intensity deepening in direct correlation to the watch’s water resistance.
Seamaster is the brand’s longest-running product line and its very first family of watches. The diving watch collection marked a pivotal moment for Omega, uniting seemingly opposing facets of watchmaking – sporty robustness and sophisticated elegance. Post-World War II, Omega embarked on an innovation-driven journey, leveraging its newly developed technical prowess. The Seamaster then, was the epitome of this quest for modernity, seamlessly combining advanced technology with an elegant exterior, ideal for everyday wear, and offering water resistance up to remarkable depths. However, Omega’s pursuit of aquatic excellence started even earlier with the groundbreaking Omega Marine – the world’s first commercially available diver’s watch, launched in 1932.

The legendary Omega Marine, distinguished by its square-shaped patented double case sealed with cork, represented a significant milestone in the brand’s aquatic legacy. Successfully tested to a depth of 73 meters and pressure-tested to 135 meters, the Omega Marine played a pivotal role in civilian timekeeping and laid the foundation for the pioneering era of scuba diving. Despite the 1950s being commonly acknowledged as the watershed decade for scuba’s popularity, the 1930s played an integral role in shaping this revolutionary pursuit.
Throughout the years, the Seamaster continuously evolved, advancing its robustness and performance, solidifying its status as a distinguished and formidable timepiece. To mark Omega Seamaster Professional watch collection’s 75th anniversary, Omega introduces a capsule collection of eleven new Seamasters, each uniquely paying homage to the remarkable triumphs of this ocean-conquering line up.

With the Seamaster 300, Omega reaffirmed its dedication to creating wristwatches capable of venturing into the depths of the deep blue sea.
The latest rendition of this iconic Omega automatic watch showcases a captivating blue colorway, elegantly named Summer Blue by Omega. While blue watches have been trending in the luxury watch industry for years, this specific hue pays homage to the glistening waters of the Greek isles, subtly acknowledging the mythical water spirits, known as naiads.
