@OMEGA

With this 4K-video we present you the Seamaster Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer 42 mm Nekton Edition. Omega is a partner of Nekton, a not-for-profit research foundation committed to protecting our oceans. The vital work is already underway. ‘First Descent’, a series of missions to explore and conserve the Indian Ocean, which already began in 2019, will resume next year – with Omega in a strong supporting role. Each mission combines state of the art technology with inspirational public engagement.

Raynald Aeschlimann, Omega’s President & CEO, told me: “Alexander, our friends at Nekton are protecting the ocean with the global goal of 30% protection by 2030. As a pioneering brand with a long history of pushing at the boundaries of what is possible, we have the utmost respect for this bold, confident vision and we are thrilled to help make the goal a reality. Our Master Chronometer certified Nekton Edition is a stylish way to support a very worthwhile cause. To purchase the watch is to play a part in the protection of the world’s oceans.“
