Pre-Owned Omega Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 40960194/AS08852

Since the Seamaster’s launch in 1948, it has been the vibrant, beating heart of Omega's collection. The key to its longevity, in part, lies in its adaptability: It comes in dive watch models, which were worn by professional divers (and James Bond), or dress models favored by the likes of Mad Men’s Don Draper.

Omega released the first Seamaster in 1948 to coincide with the Summer Olympics held in London. In a city ravaged by the Blitz, the Olympics represented a time to look forward while still being respectful of the past. For Omega, whose 100th Anniversary took place that year, the manufacture’s role as Official Timekeeper represented the ideal opportunity to launch a new collection. Advertising material of the time touted the extreme ruggedness of the Seamaster, which would prove all the more important with the 1957 launch of the Seamaster 300 diver’s model.

Today, the Omega Seamaster is a collection of timepieces as varied as the people who wear them, and includes dress and sport models in a variety of case sizes and materials with any number of dial layouts and designs. It is without question an important historical model and a delight to wear in any of its variations.

This particular Seamaster is a more modern variant, the Aqua Terra 150M. It features a 41mm stainless steel 'twisted-lug' case with a sapphire crystal, a signed crown, a polished steel bezel, and matching stainless steel bracelet with a signed push-button deployant clasp. The case houses a stunning and flawless olive green 'teak' dial with applied luminous indices and a matching 'broad arrow' handset, and a robust and reliable automatic-winding movement within.

With its co-axial, Master Chronometer-certified, automatic movement and great modern proportions, this Seamaster is not only packed to the gills with value, but a solid daily wearer suitable for any occasion!
