Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, Ref. 210.30.42.20.01.001
The Seamaster Diver 300M features an appealing sporty design. It's a classic model that combines basic elements such as water resistance, legibility, and durability at a high level, making it easy to wear both on and off the job. Automatic (Cal. 8800). 35 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve of approximately 55 hours. Stainless steel case (42mm diameter, 13.6mm thick). Water resistant to 30 bar. Price: 946,000 yen (tax included).
Omega's signature diver's watch collection, the Seamaster, is particularly popular for its modern design, especially the Seamaster Diver 300M. Its design, featuring a flowing case line from the crown guard to the lugs and a polygonal rotating bezel, has been beloved for over 30 years since its launch in 1993.
The Seamaster Diver 300M comes in several variations, including dial color and case material, but the model we will introduce this time is the most orthodox, combining a black dial with a stainless steel case.
The dial, decorated with wave-shaped ornaments, is made of ceramic with a unique glossy finish. Combined with the ceramic bezel insert, it gives the watch an elegant impression, despite being a diver's watch.
The case, characterized by its twisted lugs, is equipped with a helium escape valve at 10 o'clock, making it suitable for full-scale saturation diving. The bracelet is a five-link design with a primarily satin finish and some polished accents. It also comes with a diver's extension, allowing it to be worn over a wetsuit.
Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer Ref. 220.12.41.21.03.008
The "Summer Blue" collection of the Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer features a simple design. This collection will be launched in 2023, marking the 75th anniversary of the Seamaster's birth, and features dials that correspond to the water resistance of each model. This model, water resistant to 15 bar, has been given a pale blue color. Automatic winding (Cal. 8900). 39 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve of approximately 60 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 41mm, thickness 13.2mm). Water resistant to 15 bar. Price: 1,012,000 yen (tax included).
The Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Chronometer is a simple watch that is highly water resistant and perfect for business situations. There are many variations of the Aqua Terra, but this time we recommend the summer blue dial, which combines elegance and freshness.
The pattern engraved on the dial is called the Teak Concept, which is reminiscent of the wooden deck of a luxury yacht. The watch is simple yet studded with iconic design elements, such as wedge-shaped indexes and an arrow-shaped minute hand.
The 41mm diameter stainless steel case has just the right presence for a man. The conical crown is easy to pull out and has excellent operability. The case back is see-through, allowing you to view the Cal. 8900 automatic mechanical movement. This movement is equipped with a co-axial escapement and a silicon balance spring, and is also noteworthy for its high specifications such as magnetic resistance and precision.
The strap is made of rubber and has an attractive design that blends seamlessly with the case. It is equipped with a folding clasp that can be easily attached and detached from the wrist with just one touch.
Omega Constellation Ref. 131.33.41.21.01.001
The Constellation is iconic for its four-prong bezel. Its compact size is also one of its charms, thanks to the lack of lugs. Automatic (Cal. 8900). 39 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve of approximately 60 hours. Stainless steel case (diameter 41mm, thickness 13.4mm). Water resistant to 5 bar. Price: 1,122,000 yen (tax included).
The Constellation is known for its dressy design. Featuring a four-prong bezel with Roman numerals and a case that is integrated with the strap, the Constellation collection is also notable for its use of materials such as stainless steel, precious metals, and ceramics.
The model featured here features a sunray-finished black dial and a black ceramic bezel. At the 6 o'clock position on the dial, the Constellation's iconic star shines, while Liquidmetal Roman numerals add an elegant touch.
The case diameter is 41mm. This is a standard size for a modern men's watch, but its lug-less design makes it appear more compact than its dimensions suggest. The case back allows you to view the Cal. 8900 movement.
The strap is made of a rubber base combined with alligator leather, and while it has an elegant appearance, it is also tough and practical, making it easier to use than regular leather straps.
Omega De Ville Tresor Power Reserve Ref. 435.13.40.22.06.001
This dress watch's two-tone dial and domed dial create a soft impression. Equipped with a manual-winding movement, you can enjoy the pleasure of winding the mainspring. Manual winding (Cal. 8934). 29 jewels. 25,200 vph. Power reserve of approximately 72 hours. Stainless steel case (40mm diameter, 10.1mm thick). Water resistant to 30m. Price: 1,337,000 yen (tax included).
De Ville is a French word meaning "street corner" and Trésor is a French word meaning "treasure." The De Ville Trésor Power Reserve combines these two words to create a model that exudes urban sophistication and the brilliance of a jewel.
The domed silver dial features two subdials: the power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock and the small seconds at 6 o'clock. The indexes and hands are curved to match the dial, and together with the box-shaped sapphire crystal, it gives a classic impression.
The case, which is uniformly polished and composed mainly of curved surfaces, flows smoothly from the sapphire crystal to the bezel and middle case, creating a truly jewel-like splendor.
The watch is equipped with a hand-wound Cal. 8934 movement. The see-through back allows you to enjoy the movement of the balance wheel and the bridge, which is decorated with arabesque Côtes de Genève. It has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours, ensuring stable accuracy over a long period of time.
Omega "Speedmaster 38" Ref. 324.30.38.50.01.001
This automatic Speedmaster features a compact 38mm diameter case. Its advanced practicality over the Professional model is also noteworthy, with a date display at 6 o'clock and water resistance to 10 bar. Automatic (Cal. 3330). 31 jewels. 28,800 vph. Power reserve of approximately 52 hours. Stainless steel case (38mm diameter, 14.7mm thick). Water resistance to 10 bar. Price: 891,000 yen (tax included).
When you think of Omega, many people probably think of the sporty chronograph watch "Speedmaster." The famous Moonwatch is equipped with a manual winding movement, but here we would like to recommend the "Speedmaster 38" equipped with an automatic movement.
The all-black dial and bezel with a tachymeter are common designs for many Speedmasters, but this model adds a slightly dressier touch to the overall design, with a sunray finish on the dial and rhodium-plated indexes and hands, giving it a unique character.
As the model name suggests, the case diameter is a compact 38mm. It's a size that can be worn neatly even in business situations. It's water resistant to 10 bar, so you don't have to worry about moisture during everyday use, which is reassuring.
Although the movement cannot be seen due to the solid case back, the Seahorse is deeply engraved in the center of the case back, allowing you to enjoy its impressive design. The movement is equipped with the automatic chronograph caliber 3330, which uses a column wheel.
