A BIT OF TRIVIA

The Omega Seamaster was first introduced in 1948, launched to celebrate Omega's 100th anniversary. Drawing on technology developed for military watches during World War II, the early Seamaster models were designed as stylish yet durable timepieces. These watches offered water resistance suitable for daily wear and light aquatic activity, combining elegance with a new level of functionality for the time.

In 1957, Omega released the Seamaster 300, a true professional dive watch. Although rated for 200 meters, it was marketed as a 300-meter diver due to its robust construction. It quickly gained popularity among divers and military professionals and was part of Omega’s legendary "Professional Trilogy," alongside the Speedmaster and Railmaster. This marked a shift from the dressier origins of the Seamaster to a more tool-oriented watch.

During the 1960s and 70s, the Seamaster line expanded significantly. Omega introduced models like the Seamaster De Ville, which leaned toward elegant dress watches, and more experimental designs such as the Seamaster Cosmic with its distinctive cases and dials. The line continued to evolve with features like chronograph functions, automatic movements, and even integrated bracelets, showing off both Omega’s technical capabilities and stylistic innovation.

A major cultural moment came in 1995 when the Seamaster Diver 300M appeared on Pierce Brosnan’s wrist in GoldenEye, beginning Omega’s long-running association with James Bond. The Bond connection elevated the Seamaster’s profile dramatically, turning it into a symbol of suave sophistication mixed with rugged utility—a reputation it still holds today.

Since the 2000s, Omega has continued to refine the Seamaster line with ground breaking innovations. These include the Co-Axial escapement (developed by watchmaker George Daniels), which reduced friction and extended service intervals, and METAS-certified Master Chronometer movements, which offer outstanding precision and resistance to magnetic fields. Models like the Planet Ocean, Aqua Terra, and the updated Diver 300M now offer professional-grade specs with luxury watchmaking.

Today, the Seamaster is one of Omega’s most celebrated collections. Whether used by professional divers, worn by James Bond, or admired by watch enthusiasts and collectors, it remains a versatile and enduring icon in the world of horology.

THE WATCH

The Seamaster 14071 is powered by the Omega Caliber 562, a robust automatic movement known for its reliability and precision. The Omega Caliber 562 is one of Omega's most respected vintage automatic movements and is often found in models from the 1960s. The movement has 24 jewels, beats at 19.800 BPH.

Turler Co-SIGNED DIAL

Very occasionally during the 1960s and 1970s brands like Omega and Rolex allowed the retailer they distributed to co-sign their watches, often during the production or at factory depending on where batches were sold.

In this case we have a special example of a Seamaster Cosmic, with a  brushed silver dial and dark grey outer chapter ring , which is all original, featuring a crisp case, and signed "Turler" dial. 

In 1883,Türler brothers founded the watch manufacturer Türler. Based in the town of Biel/Bienne in Switzerland. Turler opened its first store in 1907 and has established itself as a prominent jeweller and watch retailer. Today Turler still runs, but from Zurich, Switzerland

This extra detail makes this watch a little bit more special, and it also reflects the history of the brand and quality of the company.

OUR THOUGHTS

This Seamaster Cosmic co-signed with Turler is a fantastic vintage watch that is not often on the market, it wears beautifully on the wrist and is in fantastic condition, a must have for the avid collector.
