Why We Love it Every man and woman needs a versatile everyday watch in their quiver. A timepiece that can be easily dressed up or down, works like a charm, and gives them all the information they could ever want with a quick glance at the wrist. The Omega Seamaster line is about as diverse as one can imagine, with petite, ultra-thin gold dress pieces on one end of the spectrum, and giant steel monocoque professional divers on the other. The Seamaster line is considered a staple of Omega's casual and dress timepiece line up. Examples such as this, dating back to the late 1960s, epitomize the simplicity of the era's design language. This particular piece features a minimalistic, rounded 35mm stainless steel silver satin dial and simple stick markers. Add in the signed beads of rice bracelet and you've got a wonderful do-anything and take-everywhere addition to a vintage collection. The Story Since the Seamaster’s launch in 1948, it has been the vibrant, beating heart of Omega's collection. The key to its longevity, in part, lies in its adaptability. It comes in dive watch models, which were worn by professional divers (and James Bond), or dress models favored by the likes of Mad Men’s Don Draper. In many ways, the Seamaster can be seen as Omega's counterpart to Rolex’s Datejust. They have many similarities: a waterproof case, in steel or gold, with slim proportions. However, what gives the Seamaster an edge over the Datejust is its affordability. Whether steel and sporty or gold and glimmering, there’s truly a Seamaster for every taste, every budget, and every wrist.
