Most recognisable as the timepiece worn by James Bond, the Seamaster is the oldest model in Omega's current collection. When it was launched in 1948 to celebrate Omega's 100th anniversary, Omega was already well-known for its robust divers' watches. But the Seamaster took this reputation to the next level. Looking to submarines used in WWII for inspiration, Omega implemented an O-ring rubber gasket to improve its water resistance in depths of up to 60 meters and temperatures between -40ºC and 50ºC.
Such resilience makes it the obvious choice for 007. Since GoldenEye in 1995, James Bond has loyally worn an Omega Seamaster, with a few bespoke fictional features - such as lasers and detonators. Many divers have put the Seamaster to the test but none more so than The Five Deeps Expedition team. With the specially-engineered Seamaster Planet Ocean timepiece by their side, this expert diving team achieved a world record and dived to the deepest point of the Atlantic Ocean at 10,925m deep.
