Renowned Swiss watchmaker Omega picked Hong Kong’s Maritime Museum as an apt venue to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the luxury marque’s iconic Seamaster Diver 300M timepiece. A select group of lucky haute horology enthusiasts and VIP guests were wined and dined in true aquatic style as they discovered the unique heritage behind this most luxurious of maritimepieces.
The Maritime Museum was transformed into an under the sea universe that took its guests on an immersive deep-sea experience. The aqua-esque journey began with guests entering through a diving tunnel projected with rolling sea waves. The discovery of twelve vintage Seamaster pieces were found at the end of the passageway, including past watches from OMEGA’s Museum in Bienne, Switzerland. Of the vintage pieces presented were the James Bond Limited Edition timepieces from films such as Die Another Day (2002), and Quantum of Solace (2008).
Not to be set adrift, guests of OMEGA were given a taste of the sea with a unique sea salt tasting and cocktail mixing workshop, following a submersion into underwater photo and video booths.
The conch of the event was but of course the new Seamaster Diver 300M models. Paying tribute to the past 25 years OMEGA has given the legendary brand a fitting facelift, with new designs and elements such as ceramic dials with laser-engraved waves. Sure to rock the boat is the new ceramic bezels with diving scales in Ceragold™ or white enamel. Driven by the Master Chronometer movement each piece is certified at the highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance within the watchmaking industry.
This aquatic adventure carries on as OMEGA is also celebrating 70 years since the very first Seamaster model was first unveiled. Emerging from its luxurious depths in 1948, the watch remains the trusted choice for deep-sea divers, sailors, and, of course, all discerning collectors with an eye for seafaring adventures.
