THREE LEGENDS ARE BORN

In 1957 OMEGA introduced its Professional line of watches. The line consisted of three watches that were all to become legends in their own rights – the Speedmaster, the Seamaster 300 and the Railmaster.

The Speedmaster was destined for a future of pioneering space exploration with NASA, and became known as “the Moonwatch”. The Seamaster 300 ushered in a new era of underwater discovery, while the Railmaster was OMEGA’s first commercially available watch able to resist magnetism more than 1,000 gauss, becoming a timeless symbol of earth-bound precision.
