History of the Omega Seamaster

Today, the Omega Seamaster is known as one of the great watches for maritime exploration. Its name suggests that it was even created specifically for this purpose. But like all design icons, the Seamaster's history is unique. In 70 years, it has changed and evolved and its true origins are far from what one might imagine. The idea for the Seamaster began with the very first consumer diving watch launched by Omega in 1932, the Marine. Its design was truly groundbreaking, with a patented double case with a cork seal to prevent water and dust from entering the watch. It was even, at the time, the very first watch to be awarded a water-resistance certificate by the Swiss Watchmaking Laboratory. This watch was an immediate success because it quickly became indispensable! To prove its robustness, it was tested at a depth of 73 meters in Lake Geneva, near the brand's headquarters. More demanding tests were then carried out in the laboratory, demonstrating water resistance to 135 meters, a record at the time. The Marine was even the watch of choice for explorers like William Beebe and Yves Le Prieur. It gave Omega a head start in the field of water resistance and underwater technology. The Navy was a turning point in Omega's history, laying the foundation for the brand's relationship with the most rugged diving watches. But the Seamaster we know today has its roots primarily in the WWW Dirty Dozen watches of World War II. Indeed, during the conflict, between 1939 and 1945, Omega acquired valuable expertise by producing and supplying the majority of the waterproof watches used by the pilots and navigators of the Royal Air Force. The main feature of these watches was an O-ring seal used to ensure water resistance. A lesson in watchmaking learned through suffering, but one that allowed the brand to quickly master the creation of robust and reliable watches. At the end of the war, this experience gave birth to the Seamaster. Launched in 1948 to mark the company's centenary, the collection honors the technology of military watches and enhances it with elegant details. A line designed for active people looking for a watch to wear in the country, in the city and at sea. Since its release, the collection is the oldest to be still marketed by the brand. Its name "Seamaster" comes from its increased water-resistance compared to the standards of the time, thanks to the use of a gasket at the crown. The first Seamasters are mainly based on the principle of field-watches: solidity, legibility and reliability. Often present with a round case of 34mm in diameter and a fairly pure design, it largely takes the design of these toolwatches, while making it more dressed. And, thanks to this type of robust case with solid lugs, they have the ideal physique to fit into a life of adventure. There are several variations in the collection, playing on a wide range of angles, textures and patterns that delight the appearance-conscious man. Since then, the Seamaster is undoubtedly one of Omega's flagship models that has evolved greatly over the decades. Omega has developed the watch, diversified it and updated it to make it an absolute must-have diver.
