omega 300M Diver Co-Axial Master Chronometer

Master of the Sea

Although Omega is a Swiss company based in the canton of Bern, its watches usually have English names. This makes international understanding easier, but not everyone speaks English. So what does Omega Seamaster 300 M Diver Co-Axial Master Chronometer mean in English? Omega, the last letter in the Greek alphabet, is the name of the watch manufacturer, the alpha and omega of the watch world, so to speak. Seamaster translates as sea master, i.e. master of the sea. Given its popularity among divers, this is not an inappropriate name for this watch. 300 M naturally refers to the water resistance up to 300 m and diver is the English word for diver.

Master of Time

Co-Axial means coaxial or equal-axis. Master means master and chronometer is a word for timepiece in German and English, with the word part chrono- referring to Chronos, the ancient Greek god of time and creator of the universe. Yes, it was not Zeus, the father of the gods, but the god of time who created the Greek world, because time brings order to the previously existing chaos. According to this philosophy, the Omega Seamaster 300 M Diver Co-Axial Master Chronometer can be seen as the master of the world. It rules the sea and, with the proven measurement accuracy of all Omega watches, also time.
