The early 1950s saw global population growth beginning to emerge from the shadow of World War II, a boom in the international economy and technical innovation, and a growing public desire for leisure activities. Fittingly, it also saw the birth of iconic tool watches such as the Rolex Submariner, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, and the Zodiac Sea Wolf. A few years later, in 1957, Omega joined the fray, introducing their now-celebrated “Holy Trinity” of professional timepieces: the Speedmaster (ref. CK2915) for timing industrial production, the Railmaster (ref. CK2914) for engineering and other specialized work in magnetized environment, and indeed the Seamaster 300 (ref. 2913, exemplified by the present lot) for diving. These three models are considered so iconic and landmark, that last year (2017) a re-edition of all three was issued by Omega to overwhelming acclaim from the collector community.
