Watch Review: Every year, OMEGA launches an Olympic watch. The Seamaster 300M Diver Edition "Paris 2024" pays homage to the Olympic medals that athletes have fought for, creating a sporty "Olympic 2024 watch" in white, black and gold. The watch has a stainless steel case with a diameter of 42 mm. The bezel is crafted from 18K Moonshine gold and features a laser-engraved three-dimensional diving scale. The white ceramic dial is laser-shaped with a three-dimensional wave pattern that echoes the watch's "diving" properties. The indexes and hands are all made of 18 Moonshine gold, with the dots at 12 o'clock on the bezel covered with white Super-LumiNova. On the whole, the whole watch is like a "gold medal", and in the details, the "Olympic flavor" of the watch is more sufficient. For example, the tip of the second hand is decorated with the Paris 2024 logo (a small flame), or the date display on the date window at 6 o'clock is presented in the font of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Flip it over to reveal the Olympic badge case back, where the Paris 2024 logo is prominently displayed in 18K Moonshine gold, decorated with the words "Paris 2024" and the Olympic rings. Inside the stainless steel caseback is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 with a silicon balance spring, automatic winding and a 55-hour power reserve. The watch is presented on a stainless steel bracelet and is equipped with OMEGA's new quick-release system, which allows the wearer to easily change it by himself.

Watch Comments: Dive a little deeper, the Seamaster series Planet Ocean 600m debuts. The Seamaster Planet Ocean series was created in 2005 to pay homage to OMEGA's ocean legacy. In 2024, OMEGA will launch the new Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M. The new piece is made of stainless steel and has a case diameter of 43.5 mm. The green unidirectional rotating bezel is made of ceramic with Liquidmetal (literally: liquid metal. i.e. a metal alloy with exceptional hardness) diving scale, which visually contrasts with the smooth ceramic bottom ring. The dial is made of stainless steel with a date window at 3 o'clock and green lacquered Arabic numerals. The stainless steel hands and indexes are coated with white Super-LumiNova to ensure that the time can be clearly displayed even in dark conditions, such as underwater. It is worth mentioning that the case, bezel and dial of the watch have been delicately brushed, which greatly enhances the luxury of the watch. At the heart of the watch is the OMEGA 8900 automatic calibre, certified by the Master Chronometer and the Switzerland Chronometer Chronometer, equipped with a silicon balance spring and offering a 60-hour power reserve. In addition, the back of the watch is decorated with a seahorse motif made of metal to add to the playfulness of the watch. The watch is fitted with an integrated green rubber strap that echoes the colour of the watch head, adding to the overall feel.
欧米茄海马系列Aqua Terra 150米腕表
Product Model: 220.10.41.21.03.005
Domestic public price: ¥53600
Diameter: 41 mm
Case thickness: 13.2 mm
Water resistance: 150 meters
Watch review: In 2023, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Seamaster collection, OMEGA presents 11 Seamaster watches. The Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M has a 41mm stainless steel case and a blue dial that OMEGA has named "Summer Blue". Interestingly, if you compare this watch with several other "Summer Blue" watches, you will see that this watch has the lightest blue dial, because the depth of the dial "Summer Blue" varies with the water resistance of the watch - the deeper the water resistance, the darker the blue of the dial. As a result, the light blue dial of this watch echoes the watch's water resistance of 150 meters. The dial is adorned with the signature teak grain of a sailboat's deck, echoing the watch's ocean-inspired design. The hands and indexes are coated with a light blue Super-LumiNova coating. The date window at 6 o'clock is also in light blue, and every detail is closely related to the "Summer Blue" theme. Like the previous two Seamaster models, the case back of this watch also has a unique and monumental design – Poseidon holds a trident and drives two seahorses, which were originally designed by OMEGA in 1956. At the heart of the watch is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900 with a power reserve of 60 hours. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet and is also available with a blue rubber strap.
Summary: The three Seamaster models are water-resistant to 150 meters, 300 meters and 600 meters, respectively, so they can meet different water and underwater sports (of course, the Seamaster series also has more professional diver watches such as the Ploprof 1200m diver's watch and the Planet Ocean 6000M professional diver's watch). In addition to focusing on the quality of a professional diver's watch in its own right, OMEGA is also responsible for the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games (Paris 2024 will be the 31st time OMEGA has been in charge). In the case of swimming, OMEGA has installed image-tracking cameras, touchpads, swimming ranking indicators and other technical equipment around the pool to accurately time the competition, making each athlete's results more transparent and convincing.
