The Omega Seamaster 300M Jacques Mayol Limited Edition is a distinctive and highly collectible variant within Omega’s celebrated dive watch lineage, created to honour one of the greatest freedivers of all time, Jacques Mayol.

First introduced as part of the Seamaster Professional range in the late 1990s, this limited edition pays tribute to Mayol’s extraordinary achievements in deep-sea diving and his long-standing association with Omega. Famously, Mayol wore an Omega Seamaster during his record-breaking 101-metre free dive in 1981, cementing the connection between man and machine in the most demanding underwater conditions.

This particular model stands apart with its striking green wave dial, symbolising the ocean that defined Mayol’s life and legacy. Retaining all the hallmarks of the classic Seamaster 300M design—skeleton hands, a unidirectional bezel, and 300 metres of water resistance—it perfectly blends professional capability with unique aesthetic appeal.

Crucially, this watch is one of just 3,000 pieces ever produced, making it a genuinely limited offering within the already highly regarded Seamaster family. Even more compelling, this example is presented as a full set, significantly enhancing its desirability and rarity among collectors, where completeness is increasingly important.

A watch that combines heritage, rarity, and a direct link to one of diving’s most iconic figures, the Jacques Mayol Seamaster represents an opportunity to own a truly special piece of Omega history.

Please note although this is a dive watch, its vintage status would lead us to not recommend taking it into water before a full pressure test. Although we have had the seals replaced we cannot guarantee full waterproofness.
