The Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition has been unveiled by the iconic timepiece brand as a new option that harkens back to the beginnings of the watch model to bring it boldly into the 21st century.
The timepiece has been created with the original aesthetic of the Seamaster that was released in 1948 with a design that was inspired by the waterproof watches worn by military men during World War II. The timepiece comes in two models that both boast a clear caseback that allows the Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement to be visible, while one features a sub-dial for tracking seconds and the other has a traditional second hand.
The Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Edition timepieces are limited to just 1,948 examples.
