In tribute to the very first Seamaster models of 1948, this unique Limited Edition has remained true to the original post-war design, while introducing some very 21st century technology. The series is limited to 1,948 pieces.
The 38 mm stainless steel case houses an opaline silvery domed dial with a small seconds subdial at 6 o’clock, as well as leaf style hands, indexes and a vintage OMEGA logo all in 18K white gold.
The caseback features a flat sapphire crystal which has been laser-engraved and lacquered by hand with a 70th Anniversary logo, a Chris-Craft boat and Gloster Meteor aircraft. This is in tribute to the aviators and mariners who all placed their trust in OMEGA’s timepieces during World War II.
Presented on a brown leather strap, the watch is driven by the OMEGA Master Chronometer Calibre 8804, certified at the industry’s highest standard by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

Good morning @Capt Cave Man . I believe you may have been mislead, as the watches posted by @hoipolloi are not the recently new issued Seamaster watches limited edition with co-axial movement celebrating the in 1948 first Seamaster, but the watches from the 40s themselves.
If you look at the dial, it does not say co-axial cronometer. hoipolloi wanted to know which bumper movement the one on the left had.
Hi, @hoipolloi
Your watch looks very nice but the outer minute tracks was not the same as picture?
The minute track and minute
markers look like my watch.
Ref . 2514 with cal343
Thanks,

It's a shame Kreuzer doesn't say more about its picture sources - was the OP l/h watch ever really on the market? Not sure the leaf hands suit it anyway though - I think the watches below would be ruined by each other's hands. (At left is a very early 2518 with cal 343, without Seamaster on the dial.)
As far as I know, the first Seamasters did not have Seamaster printed on dials.
The first chronometer (Seamaster) are the 2518 and 2519, powered by 343 and the larger 333.
Here is my 2519 jumbo powered by a 333 without Seamaster on dial.
If we want to see Seamaster on dial as in Kreuzer's photo, we have to wait until the 2577, 2520, 2576 ect...
Leaf hands with beefy lugs as pictured? I would say it is a product of imagination and don't think it ever existed.
