OMEGA debuts the Seamaster Diver 300M Nekton Edition one year after diving into the Indian Ocean to further the protection and management of Earth’s oceans.

The OMEGA-Nekton partnership took hold to expand human knowledge of the world’s marine science. Nekton, a non-profit research foundation committed to the betterment of oceans, started a series of sea-diving expeditions last year with the help of OMEGA’s Seamaster Diver.

“Our friends at Nekton are protecting the ocean with the global goal of 30% protection by 2030,” OMEGA’s President and CEO Mr. Raynald Aeschlimann said. “As a pioneering brand with a long history of pushing at the boundaries of what is possible, we have the utmost respect for this bold, confident vision and we’re thrilled to help make the goal a reality.”

OMEGA has long had a relationship with the world’s oceans. Sailor and ocean conservationist Sir. Peter Blake was a friend of OMEGA who sailed the world on the famous 119-foot aluminum Seamaster. Nekton named their research submersible Seamaster 2 in ode to Blake’s legacy.

The Seamaster Diver 300M Nekton Editions arrives in two distinct models. The first leans casual-elegant as the model is integrated with a black rubber strap with a polished-brushed buckle. OMEGA’s second model presents a dressier feel and feel as it is available in a stainless steel bracelet.

Key features include a laser-ablated black ceramic dial with a matte finish. Both Nekton editions are also equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel in grade 5 titanium with laser-ablated diving scale in positive relief. Turning the watch over, watch-wearers will notice an ode to OMEGA and Nektons oceans expeditions as the case back is embossed with a submarine medallion.
