More than Six Decades of Unparalleled Brilliance with Omega Seamaster Timepieces

By Nannie Steffy


If you are looking for a water resistant watch then be amazed at what Omega brings you. Omega Seamaster 300M Chrono Dive and 300M Chronometer are water resistant watches that can take you up to 1000 feet or 300 meters deep in water.

The Omega Seamaster 300 M Chrono Dive has a window that will remind you the day of the month. This is usually located on the 3 o'clock or the 6 o'clock position in the dial. In addition to its normal function on telling the hour, minutes and seconds, it is designed with a Chronograph responsible for measuring short time periods. A screw-in- crown or self locking crown is screwed inside the tube of the case. It as well has a Helium Escape Valve which would allow helium to escape out of the watch after being under water or used in pressure chambers.

Because safety is a big concern, this diver friendly watch is designed with a unidirectional rotating bezel that will prevent you to turn the bezel in the wrong direction which could cause you miscalculation of the time spent underwater. A sub-dial measuring seconds is as well featured in this Omega watch.

The same window displaying the day of the month is found on the dial of the Seamaster 300M Chronometer. This would help us in remembering or avoid confusing our date. The same safety of divers is ensured with the unidirectional rotating bezel.

You can dive up to 1,000 feet or 300 meters of water. The Omega Seamaster 300 M Chronometer works with a self-winding chronometer and a Co-Axial Escapement movement with a finish of rhodium plate. Power reserve is up to 48 hours.

A domed anti-reflective and scratch- resistant sapphire crystal is used in the steel case of the Seamaster 300M Chronometer. Watches from this line can be seen having blue or black dials. These watches will give you that aura of charm and class just like our favourite movie spy Bond, James Bond.

Omega has gone to the moon, awed many movie goers and accompanied many in the depths of the sea through the precise time telling of their brilliant timepieces. In 1937 Omega released the first water proof watches, once again proving that anything is possible. In 1948 the Seamaster series was realized and launched.

The Omega Seamaster series has been giving us accurate time for more than six decades. All through the years Omega Seamaster watches has maintained its elegance and excellence. It has reached a new era of modern technology but remained true to its classic origin. Even with newer generation, the Omega Seamaster retained its legacy and gained the support and gained more patrons in the new world.

The Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute in Switzerland also known as COSC or Contrle Officiel Suisse des Chronomtres has tested and certified the precision and accuracy of the Omega Seamaster 300M Chrono Dive and 300M Chronometer. Both of these classic Omega timepieces carry the Chronometer accolade.
