The Omega Seamaster 2254 is the fifth generation of Omega’s line of robust mechanical and quartz dive watches. Originally released in 1948 as a waterproof dress watch, the 2254 is the spiritual descendent of the legendary Seamaster 300, an iconic competitor to the Rolex Submariner that was used by the British Royal Navy towards the end of World War II.
In the late 90’s, the Seamaster once again gained prominence through it’s association with the James Bond franchise. The 007 costume designer, Lindy Hemming, chose an Omega Seamaster because of its association with the British Navy (to which Bond technically belongs). While to 2254 reference never actually appeared on screen, various forms of the Seamaster diver were featured in over eight Bond films from 1995 – 2015.
Although no longer in production, the 2254 remains one of my favorite references of the legendary Seamaster line. Despite it’s somewhat overdone celebrity associations, the 2254 is an amazing watch to own and one that I’m surprised Omega discontinued.
