Essay

The Seamaster is the longest running product line still produced by OMEGA today. It was introduced in 1948, and was loosely based upon designs made for the British Royal Navy towards the end of World War II.

The Omega calibre 552, a 24-jewel automatic movement featured in this watch, was among Omega’s most successful and remained in production for nearly 20 years. Renowned for its accuracy and reliability, the 552 is highly esteemed in the watchmaking community.
