FLEUX - FLX003
THE HISTORY
The Omega Seamaster 300 Big Triangle has its origins in the 1960s when it was commissioned by the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) for military use. The MOD required a reliable, highly legible dive watch for its personnel, and the Seamaster 300 was selected for its robust design and exceptional underwater performance. The distinctive "Big Triangle' at 12 o'clock was introduced to ensure that time could be read quickly and accurately, even in low-light conditions. This feature made the SM300BT a trusted tool for military divers and became an iconic design element that is still celebrated today.
So let's celebrate the Big Triangle with a...
Big Triangle (BT).
THE FLX003
With the FLX003, we've preserved the essence of this iconic watch, while incorporating subtle changes that enhance the original design - chief among them, new broad arrow hands.
Like the big triangle, the broad arrow hands were an MOD design specification made to reflect military heritage and enhanced readability.
The BT dial and broad arrow hands are housed within our rugged skin diver 316L case, along with the useful yet (somehow) rare countdown bezel.
Designed as a reliable tool for both diving and everyday wear, the Fleux FLX003 is more than just a watch; it's a nod to a piece of horological history, designed for those who appreciate the legacy of the Seamaster 300 and its role in military and diving history.
