Each piece has a remarkably distinctive look and impressive technology, allowing you to capture the spirit of the ocean. The iconic Seamaster Diver 300m and the Seamaster 300 Co-Axial Master Chronometer were inspired by people working under the waves of a high-pressure work environment.

OMEGA Speedmaster
The OMEGA Speedmaster carries a legacy with its name. Derived from the Greek word for speed, it is here we see the tachymeter scale born.

The sought-after OMEGA Speedmaster collection features a range of sub-categories including the iconic Moonwatch, Two Counters and Speedmaster 38, and has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame. The Speedmaster proved to be NASA’s timepiece of choice and was the first watch to be worn on the moon during the famous lunar landing of 1969, cementing OMEGA’s place both in watchmaking records and world events.
