1957 Omega Seamaster Automatic ref. 2846 SC, 34 mm. steel case, calibre 501 movement. Launched in 1948 to coincide with the brand’s 100th anniversary, the Omega Seamaster series is the oldest of the current collection. Inspired by the waterproof wristwatches produced for the British army at the end of World War II, the Seamaster was initially designed as a robust yet elegant timepiece for active individuals who wanted a watch for the city, the sea and the countryside. The Seamaster’s first diving record was set in 1955 when diver Gordon McLean reached a depth of 62.5 metres in Australia. The key to these watches was the O-ring rubber seal. At the time, water-resistant watches generally used lead or shellac seals that were sensitive to temperature changes. OMEGA engineers were so confident in the Seamaster that in 1956 one was mounted on the outside of a Douglas DC6 aircraft and flew the Polar Route across the North Atlantic. I think of Seamaster as two different series: the large and heavy Professional designed for deep diving and a dress series also produced by Seamaster.
