CREPAS Watches MEGAMATIC 1200M

1982 saw the UK and Argentina going to war over the Falkland Islands, Olivia Newton-John was getting Physical on the radio, Soft Cell had a hit with Tainted Love.

E.T., First Blood, Poltergeist and The Thing were on the big screen and the first ever CD player was sold in Japan.



Meanwhile is Switzerland, Omega were preoccupied with far more important things such as the development of electronic, prototype diver’s watches.

The Omega F300 series were Megaquartz powered prototype diver’s watches that made use of tuning fork technology licensed to them by Bulova.



One of those watches was the Seamaster 1000 Megaquartz, a watch that never made it into production.

Unique features of the watch included an asymmetrical case design with heavily constructed left lateral side with integrated left-handed crown-system and a new style of Plongeur hands.



Despite the watch’s use of a highly advanced Megaquartz caliber, it performed quite poorly – largely because the Megaquartz itself was not thermo-compensated –

so that it lost significant amounts of time while operating in cold water environments. In addition to this the battery life was also problematic.



Almost four decades on and, the project has finally come to fruition – not by Omega but by a small Spanish boutique brand,
diver’s watch experts and the undisputed masters of reimagining such historical prototype watches for the faithful few.



Their portfolio reads like a who’s who of lost icons, OceanicTime was even lucky enough to work with them on a very special project called the HYDROGRAPHER.

But today we are here to meet the Crepas Megamatic 1200m, the aptly named spiritual successor and modern equivalent of the SM 1000 Megaquartz –



Oh, and because it makes use of a modern mechanical automatic movement it performs very well in cold water environments, thank you very much!
