How can any list of the top 20 Omega Seamasters not include the 2254.50 “Peter Blake”, widely regarded as the greatest Seamaster of all time.

The ‘Peter Blake’ for sure looks awesome, but it didn’t pop up when we analyzed the most popular Omega dive watches based on their popularity (on Google for instance).

I guess that’s what happens when you use AI to do your research for you.
You have multiple Seamaster Chronographs in your list. They are the least popular Seamasters and have the worst value retention. If you want an Omega Chronograph you buy a Speedmaster. The ‘hockey puck’ Seamaster Chronographs are universally disliked. How multiple examples ever made it on to a list of the 20 best Seamasters is beyond me.
The 2254.50 Peter Blake is widely regarded as the best Seamaster professional for many reasons. Primarily amongst them is the thickness. This model of Seamaster is actually thinner than it’s contemporary era Rolex Submariner, a watch that is used as the benchmark for dive watch thickness. It has the highly popular sword hands, indices that pay tribute to the milspec Seamasters of the 1960’s made for the British Ministry of Defence and the US Navy and Air Force. It came in both 41 & 36mm variants and had both automatic & quartz variants offered. It also has a tapering Speedmaster style bracelet and a much smaller Helium escape valve. This median price for this model in the market has risen last 18 months and continues to rise despite not having been made for over a decade.
Go to any Omega forum on the internet and ask people what their favourite Seamaster is. Omegaforums, Reddit, Watch Crunch, they’ll all tell you your list is crazy for not including the 2254.50 let alone not having it in the top 3.
