Omega Seamaster 2264.50 "Peter Blake"
The Omega Seamaster Professional 2264.50, often referred to by enthusiasts as the “Peter Blake” quartz, is a notable variant within Omega’s esteemed dive watch collection. Sharing the same 41mm stainless steel case, black wave-patterned dial, and distinctive sword hands as its automatic counterpart (the 2254.50), the 2264.50 distinguishes itself with its quartz movement, offering exceptional precision and low maintenance. This model is powered by the Omega Caliber 1538, a high-accuracy quartz movement featuring an end-of-life indicator, ensuring reliable timekeeping for extended periods without the need for regular servicing. The watch also boasts a unidirectional rotating bezel, helium escape valve, and 300 meters of water resistance, underscoring its professional dive capabilities.
Introduced in the late 1990s, the 2264.50 has garnered a dedicated following among collectors and dive watch aficionados who appreciate its blend of functionality and classic design. Its association with Sir Peter Blake, the renowned New Zealand yachtsman and environmentalist, adds a layer of historical significance, as he was known to wear this style during his expeditions. The watch's robust construction, coupled with its understated elegance, makes it a versatile choice for both aquatic adventures and everyday wear. Although discontinued, the 2264.50 remains a sought-after model in the secondary market, celebrated for its durability, accuracy, and connection to a legendary figure in sailing history.

About Omega:
Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in Switzerland, Omega has grown into one of the most respected and innovative names in watchmaking. The brand’s early focus on precision earned it accolades at international observatories and competitions, setting the stage for decades of horological achievement. Omega became the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games in 1932, and in 1969, the Speedmaster Professional—nicknamed the "Moonwatch"—made history as the first watch worn on the lunar surface during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission. Omega’s innovations continued with the introduction of the Co-Axial escapement in the late 1990s, a groundbreaking movement that dramatically reduced friction and improved long-term accuracy.
Omega’s lineup showcases a wide range of iconic models that reflect the brand’s legacy and versatility. The Seamaster, introduced in 1948, is a favorite among divers and famously worn by James Bond since 1995’s GoldenEye, blending technical capability with cinematic cool. The Speedmaster remains one of the most storied chronographs in existence, while the Constellation is known for its refined design and chronometric precision. The De Ville collection offers a more elegant, dress-focused aesthetic, often featuring high-end complications and meticulous finishing. Omega continues to lead with innovations like Master Chronometer certification, METAS testing, and antimagnetic technology—ensuring that its watches are not just beautiful, but built for the demands of modern life.
