In 1957, Omega unveiled the Seamaster 300, as part of the Professional trilogy, along with the Railmaster and the Speedmaster. In the first half of the 1960s, a new generation (reference ST 165.024, then added by ST 166.024) was born and a few examples were used by the French engineering and deep diving company COMEX (for “Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises”). As professional diving reached ever greater depths, Omega developed in the second half of the 1960s, not one but two ultra-waterproof watches: the Seamaster 600 “ploprof” and the Seamaster 1000.
Both watches are characterized by a thick one-piece case, a blue dial with date, an automatic movement (calibre 1002, then 1012) and a crown located on the left side. The Seamaster 1000 is a very rare beast and even rarer in its original unrestored condition.
In 1848, Louis Brandt founded a company in La Chaux-de-Fonds which would become Omega. In the 1880s, the Louis Brandt & Fils company moved to its current site in Bienne and in 1894 the caliber Omega was created, which would give its name to the company. Renowned for its precise, innovative and affordable watches, it became the largest supplier of watches to the British Army during World War II. It also became the first company to time the Olympic Games in 1932. Among its range of numerous professional watches, the Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the moon in 1969.
