And, by gosh, it’ll look amazing no matter what it’s doing. Because while the oh-so-slightly upsized case size and other cosmetic tweaks make for a more pleasing on-the-wrist experience, this Master Chronometer movement, with its impressive accuracy and exhaustive testing (not to mention the new five-year warranty), gives you the peace of mind that this black and gold stunner can handle whatever it needs to, be that the murky depths or a messy dinner party. And then the overall build quality is legendary the dial is super legible and fully loaded with lume.įlip the watch over and, behind the scalloped Naiad lock, the top-notch Calibre 8800 is proudly on display. This 300M Black Black comes on a comfortable and soft rubber strap, with black buckle. That is not even that much more expensive than the titanium and ceramic model on a NATO strap. Starting with the rubber strap - a (very comfortable) choice that immediately signals that this watch means business, and not the suit-and-tie kind. The new Omega Seamaster 300M Black Black 210.92.44.20.01.003 will retail for 8,600. And then there’s the glossy black dial, laser-engraved with the (in?)famous wave pattern, and it seems like every other surface has been buffed to a high gleam.īut there’s substance under the showiness. The flashy elements are immediately apparent - it’s hard to miss that striking black and gold bezel, the golden crown and (re-worked) helium escape valve. The SMP - as it’s known - knows what it is, and revels in that identity.Īnd nowhere is that dual nature of flashy meets functionality more evident than this steel and yellow gold beauty.

Partially that’s down to the fresh facelift and major internal upgrade, but it goes deeper than that.


I’ve got to say, for a watch born in the middle of the ’90s, the Omega Seamaster 300M Diver is looking pretty glorious. I/trending 16389 HANDS-ON: Seriously fun, the gold and steel Omega Seamaster 300M Diver Felix Scholz
