The Omega Seamaster Jacques Mayol edition celebrates the legendary free diver’s partnership with Omega, marking a unique chapter in the Seamaster’s lineage. Released in the early 1980s, this model commemorates Mayol’s world record dives and is distinguished by its connection to underwater exploration, making it a sought-after piece for collectors interested in both Omega’s dive heritage and notable collaborations.

The most recognized version is the reference 368.1042, featuring a stainless steel 42mm case, quartz movement (caliber 1337), and a blue wave-pattern dial—a nod to the oceanic theme. Unlike standard Seamasters of the era, the Mayol edition is often identified by its unique caseback engraving and the signature blue tones. Water resistance is rated at 120 meters, sufficient for recreational diving and daily wear.

Price variation is driven by dial condition, originality of the bracelet, and presence of the special caseback medallion. The Jacques Mayol edition’s limited production and specific design cues mean examples with full sets (box, papers, original bracelet) command a premium. When shopping, prioritize pieces with sharp case lines and intact dial printing, as restoration can diminish collector value for this particular reference.
