Since its introduction in 1948, the Seamaster has been a pillar of the Omega brand. In the collection’s 70-year history, Seamasters have been manufactured in many forms, from a versatile, everyday timepiece to a robust diver’s tool in the Seamaster 300. Here, we have one on the everyday-wear end of the spectrum: a 1950s Seamaster Calendar in a “WATERPROOF” case.
Beyond being one of the more attractive variants of the Seamaster, the example we have here is extremely interesting because of its Türler signed dial. Türler has been a successful watch retailer in Switzerland for more than 120 years and one of the few remaining privately owned companies in the watch businesses.
The applied dial details, such as the arrowhead hour markers, are very exemplary of Omega’s design aesthetic in this period.
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.
