Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Nekton Edition (Specs & Price)

Not just a new colour scheme, but a watch with solid environmental conservation credentials that reflects Omega's support of the Nekton foundation.

The new Seamaster Nekton Edition comes with a black ceramic dial, is fitted with Omega's Master Chronometer calibre and features a special engraving on the caseback to celebrate its partnership with Nekton.
