The Allrounder

Seamaster

The origin of the watch dates back a long time. In 1932, when Omega launched what was then called the "Marine", the first commercially available diving watch, it was one of the finest water-resistant wristwatches ever produced. Its reliability proved its worth during the Second World War and shortly afterwards its unique design made it a world-famous watch. The Seamaster took the next step in the 1950s when Omega launched the "Seamaster 300". A watch which proved its worth through precision, reliability and robustness. The breakthrough was made! Along the way, Omega achieved many other successful models such as the "Ploprof", "Seamaster 1000" and the modern "Professional 300", which made every collector's heart beat faster. Almost seven years ago, Omega once again succeeded in creating a watch capable of withstanding extreme anti-magnetic fields with the Seamaster Aqua Terra > 15000 Gauss.

Swiss legend

Omega

Founded in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt, Omega is still one of the oldest and most important Swiss watch manufacturers. Today probably best known for the Omega Speedmaster - a true legend. Omega has also launched many other important and innovative models along the way, with illustrious names such as Constellation, Seamaster and Flightmaster.

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. Watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.
