Omega has introduced a new take on their Seamaster Diver 300M that celebrates the brand?s partnership with the not-for-profit organization Nekton, a research foundation committed to protecting the planet’s oceans. The watch itself receives a unique bezel, dial accents, and caseback that differentiate it from other Seamaster models. Omega supports the Nekton ?First Descent? missions that began in 2019 to survey and protect the Indian ocean with the help of a research vessel dubbed Seamaster 2, which is also depicted on the caseback of this special Seamaster.

The titanium bezel of the Omega Seamaster Nekton edition

The Nekton edition of the Seamaster 300M will be non limited in production, and immediately sets itself apart by ditching the ceramic bezel in favor of a full titanium unit with laser ablated diving scale in positive relief. This execution yields a monotone appearance leaving the rough texture within the relief to create contrast to the Arabic numerals and minute markers. A black ceramic [ZrO2] dial remains with the familiar wave pattern that?s also been laser ablated. A newly red emblazoned seconds hand accents the dial as a nod to the red submersible used by Nekton. The overall effect of these revisions creates a markedly different looking Seamaster 300M that suit the watch particularly well.
