Omega Seamaster Tokyo Olympics Special Edition Ref. 522.30.42.20.04.001
Background of the Seamaster Diver 300M
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M was first introduced in 1993, establishing itself as a modern dive watch that combined technical excellence with sleek design.
Known for its wave-pattern dial, helium escape valve, and robust water resistance, the Diver 300M gained even more fame as James Bond’s watch starting with GoldenEye in 1995.
Over the decades, Omega has continuously updated the collection, incorporating new materials, movements, and design elements, while retaining the iconic features.
The Tokyo 2020 Connection
Omega has been the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics provided another opportunity for Omega to showcase its precision timekeeping and produce commemorative watches. While the Tokyo 2020 Games were postponed to 2021 due to the global pandemic, the branding remained "Tokyo 2020," as did Omega’s commemorative timepieces.
The 522.30.42.20.04.001 was launched as part of this celebration, reflecting the spirit of the Olympics and Japan's cultural connection to precision and craftsmanship.
