Omega opened the year by adding two bronze-gold Seamaster Diver 300M references—each capped with rich burgundy accents—to its flagship dive family.

The proprietary 9K alloy (37.5 % gold with palladium and silver) offers a stable, slowly patinating surface that avoids the verdigris green typical of traditional bronze. Inside beats the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, tested to 15 000 gauss and certified by METAS. Buyers can choose between a matching Bronze Gold Milanese bracelet and a temperature-regulated rubber strap, both retaining the 20 mm lug width standard. At €15 200 on rubber and CHF 26 500 on bracelet, the model slots between steel tool-watch pragmatism and full-gold extravagance—underscoring Omega’s knack for surfing the value curve without sacrificing specs.

Since its founding in 1848, Omega has been synonymous with precision and pioneering spirit. The brand’s historical significance is immense: it has served as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, and its Speedmaster Professional became the first watch worn on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Now a cornerstone of the Swatch Group, Omega continues to innovate with its Co-Axial escapement and Master Chronometer certification, which guarantees industry-leading resistance to magnetism. From the professional Seamaster dive watches to the elegant De Ville, Omega masterfully balances its rich heritage with cutting-edge material science and technology.
