It holds a special place in the maison’s history: it is the \u003cstrong\u003every first GMT ever produced by Omega\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its three-piece steel case, with a dodécagonal bezel and sculpted lugs, measures 41mm (45mm with the crown) for a Lug-to-lug of approximately 47.5mm and a thickness of 13.3mm. The crown and caseback are screw-down, the latter engraved “SEAMASTER – 50 YEARS” around the collection medallion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eblack dial\u003c\/strong\u003e displays the characteristic \u003cstrong\u003eSeamaster wave motif\u003c\/strong\u003e, beneath indexes and skeleton hands generously filled with luminescent material. The Seamaster signature is topped by the word \u003cstrong\u003eGMT in red\u003c\/strong\u003e and the Chronometer mention; the date window is placed at 3 o'clock. A \u003cstrong\u003ered GMT hand\u003c\/strong\u003e with an arrow tip tracks the second time zone, read on the \u003cstrong\u003ebidirectional 24-hour bezel\u003c\/strong\u003e, half black, half steel, whose two-tone contrast signals day and night at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats the \u003cstrong\u003eOmega 1128 calibre\u003c\/strong\u003e, an automatic movement \u003cstrong\u003eCOSC chronometer certified\u003c\/strong\u003e, equipped with a true “flyer” GMT mechanism: the hour hand is set independently, in one-hour jumps, without stopping the watch, ideal for moving from one time zone to another while travelling. It offers 44 hours of power reserve and incorporates an anti-magnetic shield. The movement of this example has been serviced by our watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the wrist, the \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal steel bracelet\u003c\/strong\u003e, with concealed folding clasp and diver’s extension, extends the case into a sporty, substantial silhouette. Produced in the late 1990s, this piece is now \u003cstrong\u003eneo-vintage\u003c\/strong\u003e: recent enough to offer the reliability and water resistance of a modern watch, old enough to have become rare and sought after. It is a Seamaster that often remained in the shadow of James Bond’s “Big White,” yet is regarded by connoisseurs as one of the most endearing of its generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree points to note\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is the first GMT ever produced by Omega, with a true independent GMT mechanism and COSC chronometer certification: as much a piece of history as a travel instrument.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe watch was originally water-resistant to 300m, with screw-down crown and caseback.

It occupies a special place: it is the first GMT ever produced by Omega. Recognisable by its two-tone 24-hour bezel and red GMT hand, it is now sought after by collectors, long overshadowed by the Seamaster “Great White” popularised by James Bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the GMT function on this Omega work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe calibre 1128 features a true so-called “flyer” GMT mechanism: the hour hand is adjusted independently, in one-hour jumps, without stopping the watch or disturbing the minutes. Combined with the bidirectional 24-hour bezel, the watch allows you to track a second, even a third time zone. It is the ultimate travel companion, complemented by chronometer certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this Omega water-resistant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was originally water-resistant to 300 metres, thanks to its screw-down crown and case back. But on a vintage watch, no water resistance can be guaranteed without a recent pressure test: gaskets age. We recommend having the water resistance checked by a watchmaker before any aquatic use. As it stands, avoid swimming and diving as a precaution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a COSC chronometer certification?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis is an official certification issued by the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute, attesting that a movement meets strict precision criteria, within the range of -4 to +6 seconds per day. The 1128 calibre of this Seamaster is chronometer-certified, a guarantee of the piece’s chronometric quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a 41mm case suit which wrist?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith a 41mm diameter, a Lug-to-lug of 47mm, and a thickness of 13.3mm, this Seamaster is a sports watch with a strong presence. It is worn on wrists measuring from 16 to 20cm, ideally on a masculine wrist. The bracelet is here adjusted to 19cm; links can be added or removed by a watchmaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54323531252049,"sku":"60414210","price":3255.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8576\/2597\/files\/VD_04744.jpg?v=1785827785","url":"https:\/\/ateliervictor.co\/en\/products\/vintage-omega-watch-seamaster-gmt-2534-50-steel-50th-anniversary-1999","provider":"Atelier Victor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
