A Heritage of Excellence: The Omega Seamaster Lineage
The Omega Seamaster is Omega’s longest-running line, first introduced in 1948 as a response to the Royal Navy’s need for reliable and robust timepieces during World War II. Originally designed for submariners, the Seamaster's construction was optimized to withstand extreme temperatures and pressures underwater. In 1955, diver Gordon McLean set a record-breaking depth of 62.5 meters (205 feet) wearing the Seamaster in Australia, solidifying its reputation for resilience and precision. The vintage Seamaster 14700 continues this legacy, embodying the same spirit of durability and style.

The patinated golden yellow dial is adorned with clean baton markers for the hours and elegant dauphine hands with a deep patina developed over the past 50 years and "speckled" as you can see, including a needle sweeping seconds hand for precise timekeeping. Minimalistic text with "Omega Automatic" at 12 o’clock and "Seamaster" at 6 o’clock enhances its sophisticated aesthetic. The "s" of the Seamater text also indicated it is form an earlier example.
