History

Omega's Seamaster has an illustrious past, being a firm fixture of the brand's range since 1947. The Professional range, which have a water resistance to 300m, were introduced in 1994, initially as a quartz and automatic gents (41mm)  and mid size (36mm) diving watch, and followed by a 28mm ladies size and a 42mm chronograph. In 2006 the Co-Axial movement was introduced into the Seamaster range, and by 2012 the aluminium bezel was replaced by a ceramic bezel. The range is most commonly known for the blue wave dial, which was engraved in the public eye by its James Bond connection. Featuring in Goldeneye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is not enough and Die another Day, the Professional set the scene for Omega's connection with Bond which lasts to the present day. James Bond limited editions followed with the Automatic. The range was complemented by the Planet Ocean, the Seamaster 120 and Aqua Terra.
