Rubber B has become well-known as a highly respected crafter of custom rubber watch bands for timepieces from some of the most respected watchmakers in the field, including such brands as Patek Philippe, IWC, and Breitling. Rubber B has a variety of straps in different colors and styles in our product portfolio that are appropriate for both business/formal wear and more casual situations as well.
The connection between companies that produces luxury wristwatches and environmentalism has increased significantly over the last two decades. One notable example of this is the Peter Blake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00, a watch that was made to commemorate the life of Sir Peter Blake.
Below, we will be taking a closer look at the Peter Blake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00 watch. We will begin by briefly covering the life and history of Sir Peter Blake, then go on to examine the technical specifications of the Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00, and then finally conclude by looking at it from a design standpoint.
Who Was Sir Peter Blake?
Sir Peter Blake was a New Zealand-born sailor who left an enormous impact on the sport of sailing. He began sailing at age five and, over a long and prestigious career, won both the Jules Verne Trophy and America’s Cup. He was one of the most decorated sailors the sport has ever produced.
After being named to the America’s Cup Hall of Fame in 1996, Blake would go on to sail competitively for a few more years before retiring in the early 2000s. He then decided to devote his life to the cause of environmentalism, with a special focus on protecting the oceans.

Tragically, Blake was killed on December 5, 2001, in Macapa, Brazil. He and his team docked their boat in a small town and were attempting to get dinner when a group of pirates attempted to rob Blake and his team. While attempting to defend his crew, Blake was killed during the commission of the robbery. Today, he is ardently remembered both for his sailing talent and his commitment to the environment.
What Are The Technical Specifications of the Peter Blake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00?
The Peter Blake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00 measures 41 mm, which is standard for men’s wristwatches. It is encased in stainless steel and has a height of 47 mm, a thickness of 12 mm, and a lug width of 20 mm.
It is powered by the Omega 1120 movement, which is also an automatic chronograph. It has a power reserve of 44 hours and is comprised of 23 jewels. While 44 hours would be considered on the lower end of power reserve availability, it is important to note that this watch was originally produced in 2003. It has a water resistance of 30 ATM, which is appropriate, considering that this is a professional dive watch.
It is important to note that this watch has not been produced by Omega in several years. While it is not technically a limited edition timepiece, it has become something of a collector’s item due to its decreased availability.
How Does the Peter Blake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00 Fare Aesthetically?
Omega has long been known for producing beautiful wristwatches, and the Peter Blake Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Chronometer 2254.50.00 is certainly no exception to the company’s already storied catalog of products. Being that this watch was made to commemorate Blake’s passing, however, it feels that Omega really took their time designing this watch, and it shows up in the final product.
This timepiece has a lovely stainless steel case, and its elegant black dial has slightly visible wavy lines on it, helping to create a mysterious but appropriate nautical feel for the face of the watch.
