A legend since 19931993 is undoubtedly one of Omega’s most important dates: the launch of the very first Seamaster Diver 300M on the market! The launch marked Omega’s triumphant return to diving watches, and proved that the brand’s ingenuity was more alive than ever. Positioned at the time as a refined, luxurious diver’s watch, it broke with the design language of the Seamaster 300 and 600 of previous decades, showing a revolution of sorts. Indeed, the changes and developments of the 1990s inspired new designs and propelled the brand into the spotlight. The chronograph version was even named Watch of the Year in 1994!

As soon as it was launched, it accompanied Frenchman Roland Specker to a depth of 80 meters, setting the world record for freshwater free diving. In 1995, it marked a close relationship with the world of sailing when Sir Peter Blake, along with several sailors from the New Zealand team, wore the diver during their unforgettable victory in the America’s Cup. But it was the film GoldenEye that really propelled this watch to iconic status!
