A WEEK ON THE WRIST – VINTAGE OMEGA SEAMASTER

Having never worn a vintage watch for an extended period of time, when given the chance to experience this Omega Seamaster from the 50's I was equal parts excited and curious. As a modern watch wearer, would this be the piece to convert me to the vintage craze that has taken many enthusiasts over? Omega's Seamaster has been a staple of the brand since its inception in 1948, with this iteration being a 14k gold capped, 35mm automatic from 1955/56. These earlier incarnations of the Seamaster are a distant relative to Omega's 300m professional dive watches of today, featuring simple dials and classic case design.

A WEEK ON THE WRIST: OMEGA SPEEDMASTER 3590.50

What do we have here? This reference is the 2253.80 Seamaster originally released in 2006, which features a 36.5mm case and an appropriately nicknamed electric blue dial. This particular livery is not one you will often spot on Seamasters, yet it does not depart from the iconic timepiece that enthusiasts know and love. A chronometer grade self-winding movement (Omega 1120), sapphire crystal and 300 metres of water resistance retain the sport watch pedigree the Seamaster was founded upon. On the wrist ...
