Overview

In the world of vintage watches, the Omega Seamaster is an absolute legend. Born in 1948 from the lineage of robust, waterproof timepieces supplied to the British military during WWII, the Seamaster was Omega’s first true family of watches. It perfectly blended go-anywhere durability with sophisticated, civilian style, creating what is, in our opinion, the quintessential all-rounder.

This watch hails from the Seamaster’s golden era—the early 1950s. Ticking away inside is one of Omega’s early “bumper” automatic movements. Unlike modern automatics with a fully rotating weight, the rotor on these historic calibers would swing back and forth, bouncing off two small springs to wind the watch. It’s a charming and tactile experience, a direct connection to a pivotal moment in the development of the self-winding wristwatch. You can literally feel the history on your wrist.

But the story of this particular Seamaster, a Reference 2802, is its dial. And what a dial it is. This is a perfect storm of the most desirable features of the era. First, you have the stunning, three-dimensional “waffle” or honeycomb texture that adds incredible depth and character. Bisecting this intricate pattern is a crisp, printed “cross-hair,” a touch that lends a handsome, scientific precision to the overall aesthetic. It’s a combination that collectors dream of.
