To follow is a chronological photo timeline of the various Omega dive watch generations. I saw this over at WUS and thought that it was pretty cool.

Omega Diver Generations:

(Note that the caseback states that the piece is rated to 120m (and has also been confirmed by other owners), despite the Vintage Database listing it as 60m. I'm not sure if this is just a discrepancy or if there was a change in the rating at some point)

ST 145.0036 - Flightmaster - 1973 - 120m

(Yes, the Flightmaster is very much a pilot's watch, so why mention it here? Well, this particular model featured double the water resistance of previous models, so it ticks all the right boxes)


ST 166.0177 - Seamaster 200 (aka SHOM Seamaster) - 1974 - 200m
Omega Diver Generations Sm200_8
Image courtesy of Toshi
(SHOM stands for Service Hydrographique et Océanographique de la Marine. The story goes that this model was ordered by the French for SHOM use. That's the story anyway - - it seems that this association was possibly exagerated. No one really knows how many were purchased by SHOM and how many went straight to retail.)


ST 166.0250 - Seamaster 120 (aka Baby PloProf) - 1978 - 120m
Omega Diver Generations MVC-026S
Image courtesy of ToddVNO
(It's a little known fact that the PloProf was stationed overseas for a few months and became romantically involved with a local girl. Unfortunately, he had to ship out and never learned that he had a son, Baby PloProf.)


ST 366.0858 - Seamaster - 1979 - 120m

ST 396.0900 - Seamaster 120 "Plongeur De Luxe" - 1980 - 120m
Omega Diver Generations ST3960900-1
Image courtesy of keitht
(This model was on Jacques Mayol's wrist when he set the world freediving (unassisted) record at 101 ft. in 1981. Not exactly a "0-60" bezel, but marked sufficiently for dive timing.)


SR 396.0929 - Seamaster 120 "Calypso" - 1981 - 120m
Omega Diver Generations SR3960929

(Black chromium-plated stainless steel case. Also offered in standard stainless steel case.)

(Features Omega's "Omegamatic" auto-quartz movement)

(Features a 10 minute regatta timer complication)


2895.30.91 - Seamaster 300m Apnea - 2003 - 300m
Omega Diver Generations 28953091
Image borrowed from the Omega Museum
(The Apnea was designed in conjunction with Jacques Mayol, but wasn't released until 2 years after his death. The piece features a 14 minute timer complication)
