Omega has honored one of the world’s greatest cities by releasing the Seamaster Exclusive Boutique New York Limited Edition
Only 399 examples of this gradient-dialed Seamaster are being made, and they’re available exclusively at Omega boutiques in the Big Apple.
The Seamaster was Omega’s first line of civilian watches, inspired by timepieces made for British airmen and sailors during World War II. Most people know it as a modern sport watch with a big bezel—like the dive watches James Bond wears.
The grey dial is slightly domed and lacquered, accentuating the gradient. The Omega Seamaster Exclusive Boutique New York Limited Edition is housed in a 39.5-mm-diameter case in stainless steel. The leaf-shaped hands, wedge indices, and applied Omega logo on the dial are crafted from 18k white gold. A date window — a feature not found on previous Seamaster 1948 versions — occupies the spot at 6 o’clock. What makes this model so distinctive, however, are the engravings found on the periphery of the caseback, depicting iconic New York city landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan Bridge, Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The caseback also offers a view of the watch’s movement through a domed sapphire window.
