Ocean Conservation Is at the Heart of This New Omega Seamaster

The newest iteration of Omega's flagship Seamaster dive watch aims to aid in ocean conservancy efforts in partnership with Nekton, a non-profit research foundation based in the UK The foundation's "First Descent" project - a mission to explore and conserve the Indian Ocean that began in 2019 - sees the Swiss watchmaker participating in a supporting role Interrupted by the onset of COVID-19, the project is set to be restarted next year, but the new watch will be available shortly.

Said watch is the new Seamaster Diver 300M Nekton Edition, a 42mm stainless steel diver available on either a matching bracelet or a rubber dive strap Featuring a combination polished and brushed case with unidirectional titanium dive bezel and 300m of water resistance, the 300M sports a laser-ablated, matte-finished black ceramic dial with polished waves that appear in relief A combination of sword hands and oversized dot and rectangular indices keep the watch highly legible underwater.

Powering the watch is the Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, an anti-magnetic, automatic movement with 55 hours of power reserve The Nekton Edition should be available in October, and you can find more information on Omega's website. . More
