1954 Omega Seamaster Automatic (Ref. 2576-8) "Honeycomb Dial"
The Speedmaster might be the watch that made Omega a household name (and took it to the moon), but the Seamaster has been around quite a bit longer and has its own incredible legacy worth talking about.
First released in 1948 in celebration of Omega’s centennial anniversary, the Seamaster became a worldwide success and was the brand’s top seller for a long time. Today, it’s the longest-running name in the Omega catalog and still holds a special place in plenty of collectors’ hearts.
This piece oozes midcentury class and style, with its Breguet-style numerals, moody black "honeycomb" dial, and "crosshair" style running seconds subdial.
