Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer 41mm

The Omega Seamaster began its journey back in 1947. Today, every Omega enthusiast has the opportunity to choose between three variations of the Seamaster: Seamaster Professional, Seamaster Planet Ocean, and Seamaster Aqua Terra. Of all the contemporary Seamaster models, the Aqua Terra is the one that comes closest to the original with its more elegant style, but as one would expect, there has been a significant evolution – both in the brand's design and in the tastes of its enthusiasts. All models feature a screw-down crown, and also have a helium escape valve, positioned at '10 o'clock'. The automatic versions use the Omega-modified ETA 2892. Upon the series' introduction, the Omega 1109 caliber was used, but in 1996 it was replaced with the Omega 1120 to improve durability by adding a rhodium plating. In 2006, the Omega Seamaster received the Co-Axial caliber Omega 2500 (also based on the ETA 2892), used to this day. Every Seamaster Professional features a unidirectional bezel – initially with an aluminum insert, and since 2012, Omega began offering the model with a ceramic insert. Undoubtedly the most iconic Seamaster Professional is the version with the 'wavy' dial, and of course – in blue. The color variations include blue and black, as well as the rarer white, electric blue, blue-gray, and silver-white. The Seamaster Professional is offered in four sizes – 41 mm is the most common and popular. The chronograph is 42 mm in size and 16 mm in height and at the time of its introduction was one of the brand's largest models. The mid-size version measures 36 mm by 12 mm, and the ladies' – 28 mm by 10 mm and is powered by a quartz movement. The model presented here is the Omega Seamaster 300M Chronometer. In the version with a steel bracelet (then officially named the Omega Seamaster Professional Diver), it is known as the 'Bond Omega', due to the fact that this is the watch Pierce Brosnan wore in his first film as James Bond. The piece presented today is the rarer version with a bright blue dial and a polished steel bezel.
