We have featured classic chronographs, yellow faced Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Railmaster 2504.52.00 Mens Watch versions, versions designed by Jacques Cousteau, "Big Blue" versions, retro GMT versions, and of course, Seamasters designed for Soccer referees. The Seamaster has suffered from a half-century of identity crisis, so what is one more version?1968 Cosmic Without Cyclops WindowToday we are talking about Omega Seamaster Cosmics. The Cosmic was produced in the late 1960s into the 1970s and was quite popular. The original thought behind adding the word "Cosmic" to the face was two-fold. The first was meant to capitalize upon the brand's recent affiliation with NASA and space exploration. The second was an homage to another Omega that bore the Cosmic name 25 year earlier (although it was a moon-phase and looked nothing like these Cosmics). The first Seamaster Cosmic that we have found is a very classic, late 60s stainless steel Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Railmaster 2504.52.00 Mens Watch . Its case is cushion-shaped and the markers have onyx inlays, both adding the look of this watch. What is most unique about this particular Omega is that it DOES NOT feature a Cyclops date-window.
The Omega Seamaster, as we've mentioned before, often plays second fiddle in two categories that it has been a part of for more than 50 years. The first category is that of an Omega mainstay. The Speedmaster, with its legendary cosmic experiences and athletic good looks, is usually the watch of choice when someone wants an Omega. The second category is that of the divers watch, as the Rolex Submariner has dominated that area since its inception. Part of the reason the Rolex has been consistently chosen above the Seamaster is that the Seamaster was produced in so many different variations that some of its identity was lost, despite what was written on the face. Many of these Seamasters don't even look like divers Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Railmaster 2504.52.00 Mens Watch .The Seamaster does, however, make for some interesting finds.
