History
Produced between 1990 and 1993, the reference 396.1062 represents a transitional and highly recognizable era in Omega's dive watch catalog. Affectionately known by collectors as the "Pre-Bond" Seamaster, this standard production model bridged the gap between vintage tool watches and modern luxury sports pieces. Powered by the reliable 6-jewel quartz caliber 1438, the design is defined by its integrated case architecture and robust build. Adding a touch of cinematic interest, the reference 396.1062 was notably worn by the character Shuichi Hioka in the 2018 film Blood of Wolves.
