Baselworld 2018 – The Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Editions – for the 70th Anniversary of the Collection
In 1948, Omega created its first family of watches, the Seamaster – a collection that has since become one of the cornerstones of Omega Watches, a collection comprising most of the diving instrument the brand has created so far. If our calculations are right (and they are) the Seamaster collection is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year and, paying tribute to this important milestone, Omega has decided to treat us with two new watches, deeply inspired by the two first Seamaster watches ever. Meet the Baselworld 2018 Omega Seamaster 1948 Limited Editions.
READER COMMENT: Day 1 of Basel 2018, from your point of view. Our favourite comments, overshares and concerns
Crowdsourcing is all the rage at the moment. And we love being on-trend as much as we love the idea of involving our community on the site, so here’s what we think we might do. For Baselworld, we’re going to publish our favourite comments from social media on a semi-regular basis. Why? Because occasionally there’s such high concentrations of wisdom, humour and ignorance that we think it would be rude not to share. In the comments, we also see a daily journey as the watches we’re unveiling cause emotions: good, bad and ambivalent. So, let’s begin.

Introducing – Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 79030N with a new 39mm case
The retro revival is in full swing and the late 1950s are a recurring source of inspiration.

Tudor’s latest Black Bay model shrinks in size to 39mm to emulate the brand’s first dive watches and is kitted out with a new in-house movement.
Baselworld 2018 – Glashütte Original Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition
For quite some years already, Glashütte Original is working hard to bring a more contemporary feel to its usual German design. Known for being one of the very best watchmakers in the region, the brand was clearly on the conservative side for decades. New collections are bringing a younger and more modern taste to these Teutonic pieces, such as the Senator Chronograph “The Capital Edition” or the casual 3-hand Senator Excellence. For Baselworld 2018, we have a new example of this strategy, with the Senator Excellence Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition.
