2019 Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 42mm White 210.30.42.20.04.001

Here we have a 2019 Omega Seamaster Diver 300M White 210.30.42.20.04.001 with a 42mm polished and brushed stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with the characteristic twisted lugs associated with a modern Seamaster. Celebrating Omega’s maritime and dive heritage, in 1957, Omega introduced the 300 Seamaster series, created for the professional diver. A lug-to-lug length of 49.6mm and a case thickness of 13mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence, and at the 10 o’clock position a Manual helium escape valve, and on the right side is a signed screw-down crown protected by crown guards, the scalloped-edged black ceramic unidirectional bezel insert has white enamel dive minutes marked clearly, holding a domed AR-coated sapphire crystal above the dramatic polished white ceramic dial with a laser engraved wave pattern, applied baton and discs coated in Super LumiNova mark the hours. Skeletonised hands are rhodium-plated and tipped with Super LumiNova, making low-light visibility impressive. At the 6 o'clock position sits the colour matched date window, at 12 o’clock we have the Omega motif with “Seamaster Professional” printed underneath, and at 6 o’clock “, Co-Axial Master-Chronometer” 300m/1000ft completes this dynamic dive watch. On the reverse an exhibition sapphire case back with wave edging showcasing the automatic Omega Co-Axial Cal. 8800, 35 jewels, 25,200 beats per hour, a Certified Master Chronometer, approved by METAS, "Swiss National Metrology Institute", the watch goes through COSC certification before being selected for the eight tests run by METAS, this movement is resistant to magnetic fields. It has a silicon balance spring that winds in both directions, finished in Rhodium plating and decorated with Geneva waves. The watch comes fitted on its polished and brushed 20mm Omega stainless steel bracelet with a signed push button release folding clasp, all links provided, plus two aftermarket fitted rubber straps in the box, and the watch comes with its Omega presentation box, swing tag and papers.

This watch is sold with its original Omega box, swing tag and original Omega paperwork. The watch comes paired with its original polished and brushed 20mm Omega stainless steel bracelet, featuring a signed push-button release folding clasp, with all links provided, plus two aftermarket fitted rubber straps in the box. The watch comes from December 2019 and is in worn condition, but is overall in very fair condition, as you can see in the photographs. Signs of wear will be seen on the clasp, and a full case and bracelet refurb can be provided at an additional cost on request. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

This is one of my favourite modern Omega Seamaster models, even in its large 42mm case size, the contrast of the white wave dial and the deep black ceramic bezel is incredible on and off the wrist. Powered by a workhorse Co-Axial calibre 8800 and paired on a tank of a bracelet, this watch is one that will outlive us all. This example from 2019 comes with 2 additional aftermarket fitted rubber straps, and they show the versatility of this model. I would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection today!

Formerly known as the La Generale Watch Co., founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds. When he died in 1879, his sons carried on his dream. In 1880, they moved to 96 Rue Jakob-Stampfli, where they remain today. The brothers produced their first mass-produced calibre, the Labrador. In 1885. Just a few years later, in 1892, they produced the first minute-repeater. In 1903, they renamed the company Omega until 1982, when they officially changed their name to Omega SA. During World War I, Omega watches were used as official timekeepers for the Royal Flying Corps and the US Army. In 1930, Omega and Tissot merged together to form Société Suisse pour l'Industrie Horlogère (SSIH). In 1931, another group was formed - Allgemeine Schweizerische Uhrenindustrie AG (ASUAG). Where SSIH was primarily French-speaking, ASUAG was founded by the more German-speaking members of the Swiss watch industry. In 1948, they introduced the first edition of one of its most symbolic watches: the Seamaster. Omega first introduced the Constellation in 1952. At the time it was Omega's flagship timepiece. The first models had a Cal. 354 bumper movement in them. Later in 1955, Omega introduced the Automatic Cal. 50x, followed in 1959 by the Cal.55x (no date) and 56x (date) versions. Many of the Constellations came with pie-pan dials, diamond indexes, and fancy lug configurations. All the gold Constellations of that time have the Observatory of Geneva hand-engraved on the back. The stainless steel and stainless steel/gold versions had a gold medallion on the back with the Observatory of Geneva. The eight stars above the Observatory stand for the many exploits of Omega in the world Chronometer competition. Celebrating the fact that all Constellations are Chronometer Certified. In 1962, when astronaut Wally Schirra wore a Speedmaster on his Mercury Sigma 7 Mission, making it the first Omega watch to enter space. After rigorous tests, NASA used Omega for all their Apollo missions, including the 1969 Moon landing of Apollo 11. Today, Omega is still an astronaut's first choice. In 1969, President Nixon famously said it was “too valuable” and turned down the first-ever all-gold Speedmaster Professional Deluxe. As a response to the ever-growing threat of electronic watches to the manufacturers of mechanical watches, Omega and many Swiss brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe formed Centre Electronique Horologer (CEH). Prototypes began to appear in 1967, with their production starting in 1968. Then In 1972, Omega introduced the reference, 198.030, which included the Omega calibre 1250, a ‘tuning-fork electronic movement which was made under licence from Bulova. Later we saw a merger of SSIH and ASUAG into SMH, or Société de Microélectronique et d’Horlogerie. This merger took place in 1983. In 1992, the company acquired Blancpain, and in 1998, they officially rebranded themselves from SMH to the Swatch Group. Then, in 1999, they purchased and integrated Breguet into the Swatch Group.
