2. Key Brand Information

Omega’s Seamaster line, introduced in 1948, is its longest‐running model collection and honours the brand’s maritime heritage. Over the decades, the Seamaster evolved from a refined, water-resistant dress watch into a legendary sports and dive line, while vintage 1970s Seamaster models retain a blend of elegance and utility. The 1970s also marked a transitional time for Omega, experimenting with quartz and high-frequency movements, but the mechanical Seamasters remain prized for their craftsmanship and historical lineage.

Owning a 1974 Seamaster is to wear a piece of vintage horology history: a testament to Omega’s approach to durability, design and technical refinement through changing eras.
