History and Significance
The Omega Seamaster 300M Jacques Mayol is one of the more distinctive limited editions produced during the height of the Seamaster’s modern popularity in the late 1990s. Created in tribute to Jacques Mayol, the legendary free diver, this reference separates itself immediately through its green wave dial and matching bezel, a notable departure from the standard blue and black variants of the time.
Beyond the color, what makes this watch significant is how closely it ties into Omega’s real-world diving heritage. Mayol was one of the most important figures in freediving, and this collaboration reflects a more authentic connection to the ocean than many typical limited editions.
This example stands out even further as a true, complete collector’s set. It includes the rarely seen green presentation box and matching card holder, along with a signed note from Jacques Mayol himself. That level of completeness is exceptionally uncommon and elevates the watch well beyond a standard example of the reference.
Equally important is the condition. These are often found with lume that has aged or discolored, but here the dial and hands have retained their original green tone, which is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Writer’s Thoughts
This is one of those pieces where the details matter more than the headline. At a glance, it’s a green Seamaster. But then you notice the lume is still perfectly green, not washed out or mismatched. Then the full set. Then the signed note. It just keeps stacking.
It feels less like a watch you wear every day and more like something you pull out to appreciate for a minute. A proper collector’s piece that just happens to still be wearable.
Our Promise
Every watch is thoroughly vetted, carefully described with complete transparency, and guaranteed authentic. Each piece is offered in honest condition, ensuring collectors receive a timepiece that reflects both originality and integrity.
