The history of this Omega Seamaster 300
In 1957, Omega unveiled the CK2913 model, which marked the beginning of a line of professional diving watches. Designed to meet the demands of underwater explorers, it established a distinctive visual identity. This contemporary version, bearing the reference 234.30.41.21.03.001, pays direct homage to this heritage. It adopts a minimalist aesthetic by removing the technical specifications from the dial, leaving only the model name. A notable historical detail is the return of the so-called ‘lollipop’ seconds hand. This feature was originally introduced on specific military commissions for the British Royal Air Force to ensure immediate readability in the dark. This timepiece combines a retro look with the manufacture’s current standards of precision.
Case, movement and strap of this Seamaster 300
The stainless steel case has a diameter of 41 mm. Its symmetrical design is characterised by straight lugs and a combination of brushed and polished surfaces. The matt blue dial utilises a sandwich construction. A base plate coated with beige luminescent material is topped by an upper plate from which the hour markers and Arabic numerals are cut out. This process creates a unique sense of visual depth. The whole is framed by a unidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a blue oxalic-anodised aluminium insert. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the Calibre 8912. This self-winding mechanical movement offers a 60-hour power reserve. It bears the Master Chronometer certification, guaranteeing resistance to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss and proven water resistance to 300 metres. The stainless steel bracelet complements the case’s design with its brushed outer links and polished central links. It fastens with a folding clasp incorporating a fine-adjustment system for a precise fit in everyday wear.
