Moreover, the brand uses several marketing strategies and also focuses much on celebrity endorsements. It eventually creates the perception that the watches are worth the hefty price tag.

Features. Modern OMEGA Seamaster watches are generally more durable, given the development of new technologies. The Diver 300M, for example, features skeleton hands, luminescent face markers, and rotating bezels. Vintage OMEGA Seamasters will, of course, maintain the timeless look and durability of any OMEGA watch.

Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games 28 times since 1932. The company also uses high-precision timepieces to record athletes' times at the Paralympics and the Youth Olympic Games. Omega watches are known to be not only beautiful, but also highly functional.

Previously water-resistant watches relied on lead or shellac gaskets which were easily affected by temperature changes like those a diver would experience at various depths. Omega turned to the submarines used during WWII for inspiration and included a resilient rubber gasket in the Seamaster's final design.

The Seamaster Diver 300M was first launched in 1993, to immediate success. Its technical prowess and design accelerated its popularity among athletes, divers, researchers, and most notably, a world famous movie spy. 1993: Frenchman Roland Specker dove 80m underwater, achieving a world record for fresh water free dive.

Brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Omega are considered to be luxury watch brands. Because of this, their watches tend to hold value better than other brands. The thing is that people are more willing to pay a high price for a luxury watch because they know that it is a quality product.

OMEGA uses 316L stainless steel. Known for its corrosion-resistance and high lustre after polishing, this material is often the ideal choice for watches in both daily-use and high-stress situations such as diving and adventure.

Prince William The emblematic OMEGA Seamaster 300m is one of the most iconic OMEGA collections (which was launched in 1948). Prince William is known for his preference for the blue dial and bezel model, which is said to have been a gift from Princess Diana.

The most popular Omega models are the Speedmaster and Seamaster. With legacies dating back to 1948, both names are crucial to the brand's history. But that doesn't mean every version of these famous Omega watches will increase in value. It's often the case that limited and special editions tend to be in high demand.

Virtually every watchmaker of note applied, but only the Omega Speedmaster passed all the tests and ultimately became the first watch on the moon on Buzz Aldrin's wrist during the Apollo 11 mission. The Speedmaster Moonwatch continues to commemorate this great moment in human history.
