This model belongs to high performance and elegant Automotive Collection that was created as an expression of Ralph Lauren’s ability to create worlds of design that represent not just beautiful objects, but a philosophy of living. The Automotive timepieces represent an especially personal vision of watch design. Ralph Lauren’s collection of automobiles, painstakingly assembled over decades, is one of the finest in the world, and many of the design elements of the Automotive collection are derived from the same fusion of aesthetics and mechanical excellence.

Echoing automotive coachwork, the Automotive collection is characterized by case shapes that combine strong geometry with sweeping, graceful curves. The exposed screws on the bezel, as well as the brushed and polished surfaces of the cases, express the same mechanical fascination as a powerful engine.

 The dials of the Automotive watches are styled after the perfectly composed cockpit instruments of the world’s finest cars. In particular, the Automotive collection has been inspired by Ralph Lauren’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe, in its use of carefully selected elm burl wood as a dial element — the same material found on the automobile’s dashboard.

Dressed in a round stainless steel case with brushed and polished finish, this timepiece boasts an impressive dial inspired by the dashboard of Ralph Lauren’s 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic Coupe. This timepiece features black matte galvanic inner dial that also houses chronograph counters, small seconds and a date window. The brown elm burl wood outer dial add further elegance to this exceptional chronograph model. The tachymeter scale is useful to calculate speeds and also enhances the aesthetic look of the timepiece in contrast with wood dial and steel exterior.

OMEGA – Seamaster 300 NEW Generation

OMEGA – Seamaster 300 NEW Generation  

In 1957, OMEGA introduced its Seamaster 300 – a watch designed specifically for divers and professionals who worked underwater. More than half a century later, the Seamaster 300 is reintroduced in a completely upgraded and enhanced form, prepared to equip a new generation of adventurers on land and in the oceans. Like its historic predecessor, the new Seamaster 300 features a symmetrical case and lugs as well as a dark dial, lighter indexes and big hands and numbers for easier reading in various lighting conditions.

SMOOTH STEEL, UNDERSTATED TITANIUM AND CLASSIC GOLD

The 41 mm Seamaster 300 is available in an impressive selection of metallic materials including stainless steel, grade 5 titanium and 18K Sedna™ gold. Bi-colour options pairing grade 5 titanium or stainless steel with 18K Sedna™ gold stand out with their timeless and understated aesthetic appeal.

The unidirectional rotating bezels of the full titanium and stainless steel models are enhanced with a Liquidmetal® diving scale while the golden and bi-colour models have a diving scale made with OMEGA Ceragold™.

The brushed screw-in caseback is engraved with “Si14”, “Liquidmetal®” or “Omega Ceragold™”, and “ANTI-MAGNETIC > 15’000 GAUSS”.

A VINTAGE TOUCH

The Seamaster 300 is available with either a sand-blasted blue or black dial decorated with recessed hour markers that are filled with a “vintage” Super-LumiNova.

 The hands are crafted from 18K Sedna™ gold, 18K white gold or are rhodium-plated, depending on the case material. A white varnished central seconds hand equips the stainless steel and titanium models.

STATE-OF-THE-ART BRACELET

The  Seamaster 300 is presented on OMEGA’s patented screw-and-pin bracelet crafted from the same material as the case. It features the brand’s newly patented extendable foldover rack-and-pusher clasp, which is adjustable to six different positions. It can be adjusted to six positions over 9.60 mm by releasing the clasp, pressing the “push” button and sliding the inner clasp to the desired fit.

OMEGA MASTER CO-AXIAL

With these extraordinary timepieces, OMEGA is proud to introduce two calibres to its family of high-quality, anti-magnetic mechanical movements.

The OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibres 8400 and 8401 not only boast the same accuracy, precision and reliability of their Co-Axial cousins but also feature OMEGA’s revolutionary anti-magnetic technology, which ensures that the  Seamaster 300 is impervious to strong magnetic fields, even those that exceed 15,000 gauss.

The revolutionary movement is visible through the timepiece’s domed sapphire crystal caseback. The OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibre 8401, characterised by an 18K red gold rotor and balance bridge, powers the limited edition and solid 18K Sedna™ gold models.
