Info: We have a separate guide for the Seamaster Planet Ocean.
Let’s stick with the “regular” Seamaster for now.
To spot a fake Omega Seamster, check the bracelet. Fakes never have their middle clasp correctly sized, while authentic ones always have it the same size.
Let’s check it out!

One major flaw with the two lines on the dial that indicate the 12 o’clock hour marker:
Below, you can see another reference genuine vs replica Seamaster Diver image:
In the image with the fake vs real Omega Seamaster above, we have pointed out how the fake watch has its lines crooked.
Looking at the legitimate Omega watch, you can see how its lines at 12 o’clock are perfectly parallel and symmetrical.
Once again, if we look at the fake watch, we can notice how its lines at 12 o’clock are crooked, as the helping red lines we drew for the fake item are not parallel.
Also, keep a close eye on all the elements that are present on the dial – any error or inconsistency can be signs of a replica manufactured watch.
If you touch the bezel and don’t feel like those are engraved deep into the bezel, that is a fake Omega Seamaster.
If your Omega Seamaster does not present this “PUSH” micro-adjust feature inside its clasp, then you’re not looking at a real watch.
As you may know, after charging the watch in either natural or artificial light, the watch and the time will be easy to spot with the blue light glowing in the dark while representing the hour and minute markers, including the hands – whereas the minute hand is actually a different (green) color.
A fake Omega Seamaster has its lume effect less powerful than the authentic watch’s effect, due to the chemical treatment applied when replicating the crafting of the authentic watch.
On the authentic watch: The crystal has an anti-reflective coating applied all around the crystal, so as for light to not reflect like on the fake.
