It's a watch that is designed to appeal to a certain segment. I'm no Bonds fan but I like the vintage look and the movement is already superb. If you are picky about fake patine and the Bonds association, then it's not for you. The association is subtle and it doesn't bother me. I bought this watch for its technology and design. Rare case in which a movie tie in can be overlooked. You don't have to be a fan to like this watch. I really enjoy it.
I think I know what you mean. The reasons I like this watch are the reasons some other would never buy it. Aluminium bezel insert? Are you serious!? Where's my ceramic bezel!? Oh yes we're serious, it's for the consistent fading with the also aluminium dial. I like it that they trusted us (the buyer) to understand their design approach and don't mind aluminium. Some other wants wrist presence, both eye catching to onlookers, and heft feeling on the wearer's watch. I wanted neither of those so this one is reaally perfect with the understated design plus the precious material that you can't see but with a lighter weight that you can feel.
My second Omega this year. Hated seamasters at the start of the year and bought a Moonwatch which I love. 6 months later and the Seamasters had grown on me and I wanted a special one and love Bond movies too. It’s now my favorite watch and have both the titanium bracelet and nato strap. Love that the Bond tie in is minimal. This is a quality watch and I love it. It’s my leisure watch and my Moonwatch my work watch.
Love the patina look, love how it is not flashy like the other seamasters, love the lighter weight, so for me, the extra price is worth it as this is the watch I've been waiting for from Omega. Plus, I like how the dial is not shiny and has no design in it. Hopefully Omega pushes a similar design once they part ways with making these.
This watch has really grown on me. When I first saw it I thought a bit of a pastiche, and with the James Bond branding...tacky money grab (wow that’s harsh! 😆) but every time I see it, I like it more and more. It’s now one of my favorite contemporary Omega divers. And it has a fully lumed bezel too! Still wish it didn’t have any James Bond branding though.
The only 007 branding is on the caseback. You won't see it once it's on the wrist. Of course there is that 007 logo on the nato keeper which isn't really so visible, but if it's on the mesh, no 007 logos will be visible at all.
Bought one on Valentines day, actually my wife bought it for me. Surprisingly we went to the AD and the minute I put it on my wife said she'd get it. I have Pams and ennebis and she never showed interest but this one she went nuts for. Funny thing. Oh and the omega AD gave us 1k off since we paid cash. Rolex always treated me like shit whenever I went to their store. Omega treated me very well.
5:16 The numbers at the back: "0552” is for Royal Navy personnel; “923-7697” for dive watches; “A” for watches with a screw-down crown. “007”, well it’s quite obvious. Lastly “62”, a sly hint in reference to the year in which the first Bond film, “Dr No” was released. Those numbers will be the same across all the models of this watch.
I made mybmove on the 300m seamaster after years since my last purchases on Omega. All I can say damn they hit all the spots! Seriously they are extremely well made & I confidently to say they are the best at this & higher price point. Love what they are coming out.
@@highnrising and the standard seamaster professional for that matter...I never worn a steel bracelet as comfortable as the titanium mesh on this...its unreal👌🏼
A little late to the party, but just picked this one up. Not crazy about the NATO, or any NATO for that matter, but the bracelet clasp was too big for me (17cm wrist). On leather, it looks great. Going to try out the brushed stainless Staib mesh. I hear the color isn’t far off the titanium here. Who knows. I love the leather regardless.

Do you happen to know how the lume is applied to the bezel? My concern is that the lume might contaminate my hands or clothes unless some kind of enamel has been applied. How do they get it to stay in place and not cake-off? Nobody seems to know lol. Thanks!
Love it. A guaranteed icon. 👍🏻👍🏻 Edit, only criticism is the "nato" isn't a nato, as it has a springbar on the buckle-which misses the whole point of a nato strap (eliminating points of failure). Watchgecko do one in this colour that has a solid buckle. 😉
Do you realise that the price on your site is just over 3,000 Singapore dollars more than the Omega authorised dealers are selling this for? How on earth are you pricing these pieces?
The watch is future classic for sure. It is striking and the right swan song to Daniel Craigs No Time To Die. Titanium material makes this incredibly unique.
isnt that nearly double the price (grey market) as the normal version of that watch? and also retail should be 50+% more expensive. where is this coming from? just because it is a limited edition?
@Tom The Fish yep I'm hearing my previous non wave generation is appreciating these days. Doesn't matter I'm never selling it. It's the king of versatility, goes from the pool to and evening affair without a thought.
@@michaelbishop9157 You and everyone else that constantly say that Omega fleeces people with all their special additions do realize that no one is putting a gun to anyone's head to buy the watches. If you don't like or want one fine. Others do and they buy. It's called running a business.

@@michaelbishop9157 and tell what grade titanium is it grade 2 the same as Rolex uses in the Tudor Pelagous. Again if people think it's a ripe off they won't buy it. Rolex had been doing pretty much the same thing over charging for largely machine made watches. All watches over 5k are ripoffs. The markup on all low to high luxury have ridiculous markups.
If Omega took the brushed, matte finish of this model and applied it to their regular Seamaster line, game over. I'd pick one up easy. The ceramic is practical yes, but so damn glossy
The reason you buy a luxury watch is because of the sparkly bling-factor. If you wanted an accurate watch you'd get a quartz. If you just wanted a well made one you can get that for less than a grand. You get a luxury watch only to show off. That's why the Seamaster is glossy on shiny on polished on beveled.
@@Mister_Phafanapolis "The reason you buy a luxury watch is because of the sparkly bling-factor" No thanks I'm not a rapper. Most watch guys would disagree pretty strongly with that statement, there are quite a few high-end watches out there that are very subdued, hell this is a perfect example
Have to agree they really almost packed to much 007 and baggage on this great dive watch. I'll keep my previous generation Non 🌊 Blue. It also isn't as versatile in the look. Can't see it going from the pool to dinner like my Blue can.
B M agreed. I tend to treat mine like a coffee table for the first few months (a lot of polishing) until it picks up a few marks. I dive with ALL my dive watches. Never understood people moaning about the Seamaster creeping up to 42mm with the master chrono - I don’t think they have ever dived with neoprene gloves on and tried to set the bezel during a level stop (if the creep into deco) as a backup timer when it’s wet!!
@@harrysmith3502 have you tried to set the seamaster 300 bezel with wet gloves? I'm curious to get real life diver experience. Planet Ocean is likely the much better tool for the job.
I suspect you're definitely paying more because of the 007 licensing tie-in, but the level of anger over this is way over the top. I mean, not only are there plenty other watches out there, there are plenty of other Seamaster models too...

It’s one of the ugliest and most overpriced watches ever made by Omega. Unpractical and not that comfortable to wear, not to adjust when it comes to that lousy and ridiculous “Milanese” bracelet. To make things worse, it’s almost impossible to read but in full sunlight. The “patina” effect sucks and it doesn’t positively add to the overall cheap and poor look of the watch. On the other hand, it’s a “collector’s” item, therefore if you’re into 007 stuff and memorabilia, it’s definitely a must-have.. and a “must-keep” in your watchbox, rather than actually using it! Too bad.
really? I don't see how it's ugly. It looks amazing to me and I'd wear it all the time. the only thing is that it's titanium which makes me wonder how scratched up it will get

Nearly a perfect watch for me--but was really bummed to find-out it didn't have the jump-hour feature that I wanted.

Quite a lovely piece. But the artificial vintage vibe seems to be forced on a little bit too much for my taste
Yes, definitely because the watch is so big, it makes the over the top vintageness extra weird. IF it was 39 or 40mm it would be more palatable.
I’m ok with faux patina in a lot of cases, but it definitely seems overdone here

Seriously? Mine seems fine. How has it been scratched?
