Brands reacted to the success of quartz technology in many different ways. And while Omega teamed up with a host of other Swiss brands to produce the Beta 21 as a groundbreaking piece of micro-electrical engineering, they were not going to stop there. In the constant hunt for the next thing to move themselves and the industry forward, the brand would reach out to the man who had already disrupted the industry with his design work, Gérald Genta. The end result of this collaboration? The Omega Seamaster Polaris. The launch of the Polaris came towards the end of a period of uncertainty in the mechanical watch market. While quartz had leapfrogged the entire watch world in terms of sales by the late 1970s and early 1980s, Omega felt that it was the right time to have Genta design a forward-looking quartz model in his image. What resulted was a watch that kept the Seamaster moniker but added a lot of Genta’s design DNA, and a dash of early ’80s quirkiness. The Omega Seamaster Polaris is without a doubt a one-of-a-kind watch.

Not everyone has the opportunity to wear a beautiful watch from a renowned brand.
