Hello friends!

Be it vintage references or modern versions Omega Seamaster diving watches are true classics.

Omega launched its first diving Seamaster, the reference 2913 in 1957 as part of its famous trilogy together with the Railmaster and Speedmaster watches.

Since that early model many derivations came along the more than 60 years of making these wonderful rugged and reliable watches.

I feel Diving Seamasters are popular watches within our community. 

So I thought it would be very fun to view those watches of our friends here. You are kindly invited to share your Seamasters here!!

Best cordial regards, Abel

PS: I show below a few of mine to start this roll call 











































About the Omega Ref. CK2913

The Omega CK 2913 is a significant early example from the brand's professional series, distinguished by its robust construction and focus on specific functional requirements. It represents a foundational piece in a lineage of watches designed for demanding environments, emphasizing legibility and durability. This reference is part of a trio of professional tool watches introduced concurrently, each tailored for different specialized applications, and it stands out for its particular design elements that cater to its intended purpose.

This reference typically features a stainless steel case, designed for resilience. It houses a manual-winding mechanical movement, known for its reliability and precision. The watch is fitted with a durable crystal, contributing to its overall robustness. The case dimensions were chosen to provide a substantial presence on the wrist while maintaining wearability, reflecting the practical considerations of its era.

For collectors, the CK 2913 is a highly sought-after reference due to its historical importance within Omega's catalog of purpose-built timepieces. It appeals to those interested in the development of specialized watches and the evolution of design principles focused on utility. Variations within this reference, particularly concerning dial and hand configurations, are points of interest for enthusiasts, highlighting the subtle distinctions that define its different iterations.

Wish I had one to share, Abel! . . .

. . . as it happens, I was late to Omega's party, and missed out altogether. Won't make the same mistake I made with the Rail . . . no matter how convincing the modern renditions are, they're just not the same as the originals. Maybe I'll find a nice SM 120 like yours someday. Bought a Seiko PADI last year to scratch the itch, so I think that's it for me. But I still love seeing other guys enjoying Omega divers! Art

Thank you for your kind words dear Art and Iยดm happy to view your post here today. Yes, I understand you so well. Market madness during last years had thrown these watches...

... to high niches we are not able to reach now. I was very lucky to find most of these old pieces several years ago. Now I feel we missed the train and the ones I was hunting to complete the collection will never arrive to my home. By the other way, I agree that modern renditions are not the same of originals. But though the pass of time do not add charm I find a few modern renditions are very close, like the version of the Trilogy launched a few years ago to mark their 60th Anniversary are ver

I had three, and still have one.

The two I had: - ST 165 024 from 1966: 14 755: And the one I still own, the CK 2913/3. I am very proud of this CK 2913, but I regret having " lost " my two first Seamaster 300. They were very dear to my heart. Your CK 2913 Lollipop is top, amigo mio. Un abrazo. Nicolas
