Omega Seamaster two tone silver dial with beautiful indexes

This watch is a stunning example of Omega’s golden age. Here’s a story that combines the technical splendor and timeless class of this piece for the Amsterdam Watch Company collection.

The Omega Seamaster (1958): A Masterpiece of detail and balance.

For the man who defines class not by loudness, but by understated craftsmanship, Amsterdam Watch Company presents this rare Omega Seamaster from 1958. This watch, reference 2964, is an ode to the precision and aesthetics of the late 1950s.
The first thing that stands out is the two-tone silver dial. What makes this piece truly special is the so-called “Pie-Pan” shape. The edges of the dial are beveled, reminiscent of an inverted baking pan. This design gives the dial unprecedented depth and a sculptural character rarely matched in modern design.

The details on this dial are applied with surgical precision:
Arrowhead indices: The hour markers are the iconic “Arrowhead” indices. These are not simply stamped onto the dial, but applied as steel elements.
Faceted design: Each index is faceted; the multiple angles catch and reflect the light with every movement of the wrist. This not only creates a luxurious appearance but also ensures optimal readability.
Double markers: Double markers are strategically placed at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. These double indexes enhance the symmetry and give the watch a strong, balanced appearance.
Dauphine hands: The time is indicated by classic Dauphine hands. Wide at the base and terminating in a razor-sharp point, they perfectly complement the angular design language of the indexes.

With a case diameter of 33 mm, this watch embodies the classic proportions of the 1950s. In an era when watches are often unnecessarily large, this is a statement of refinement; it slides effortlessly under the cuff of a tailored shirt. Under the hood lies the reliable caliber 520, a hand-wound movement renowned for its durability and precision. It’s technology built to last for generations.

This Omega Seamaster is more than just a timekeeper; it’s a piece of horological history. For the man who appreciates details that reveal their full beauty only upon closer inspection, this example at Amsterdam Watch Company is a unique opportunity.

The Omega Seamaster was introduced in 1948 and is, as such, the longest continuously running line within Omega’s catalogue. While these early Seamasters might look like dress-watches by today’s standards, their unique selling point was the use of an O-ring gasket between the case and the screw-in caseback. This development, taken from Submarine innovation during WWII, provided the watches with waterproofing that is anything but dressy. A major upgrade over older lead and shellac alternatives.

In 1955, a Seamaster was taken to a record depth of 62,5 meters by diver Gordon McLean, off the coast of Australia. Note that this is still before it took on the archetypal form-factor of a dive watch in 1957, with Ref. CK2913. Since then, models with and without divetime bezels have co-existed within the Omega Seamaster collection.

1950’s And 1960’s non-divetime-bezel Seamasters offer amazing value within today’s vintage market. Despite their modest diameter, they tend to have great wrist presence due to sporty, beefy cases. Countless variations exist, from rare curtain-dial double-signed Seamasters to fancy lugs and cross-hair dials. Great finishing and quality movements ensure these are still awesome everyday watches today. Since they were produced in relatively large numbers, a good example does not break the bank like some technically and historically lesser watches do.

The vintage diving Seamasters, such as the Ref. CK2913, Milspec Seamaster 300 or the famous PloProf, have become highly sought-after and collectible.

It is impossible to write about the Omega Seamaster without mentioning James Bond. When Pierce Brosnan took on the role of British super spy in 1995’s Goldeneye, a tricked-out quartz Seamaster diver was on his wrist. Different Seamasters have featured in all Bond-franchise films since. There was even a sly dig at Omega’s biggest rivals in Casino Royale when a James Bond/Vesper Lynd conversation went: “Rolex?” “Omega.” “Beautiful!”  Oh snap!

The Omega Seamaster collection has everything you could want from a watch. The history, the significance, the quality and the sheer variety. From simpler versions that present massive value, to highly collectible and extremely rare examples. A cool, understated look with an adventurous undertone. We love them!
