The Seamaster 200 was introduced in 1988. Like many other Omega lines, the Seamaster 200 was tied to an event that touted its deep-sea qualities. The Seamaster 200 was never really appreciated in its time and in fact received its nickname “Pre Bond” as a result of the model that followed it. Omega even lists the line in the vintage database as Pre Bond. From the Omega vintage database it seems that it was introduced in 1987/88 and ran through 1995, however it was effectively replaced in 1993 by the “Bond” Seamaster 300. Nowadays, the Pre Bond 200 is appreciated a lot more, because of its distinctive design and vintage look.

This particular model with reference number 396.1042, mid size, features a black dial, stainless steel case and mercedes hands. With very accurate 1438 Omega movement.
