Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Today we take a nice look at the all new ceramic wave dial Seamaster which is now a METAS certified Master Chronometer. This one is tough to beat if your only going to buy one Swiss Luxury watch under $5k. Let me know what you guys think in the comments, thanks for watching!
I just purchased this watch and it is actually my first luxury watch which I am very excited about
Congrats. How are you liking it?
Mind if I ask where? I'm looking for one.
you broke the ice,good for you and a perfect watch the only bad thing is you set the bar pretty high right out of the box so here comes the big spending enjoy my first was the blue wave in 2005 i think 5 omegas later and now time to dump the triple zero for this bad boy
Me too! I had a tag heur F1 for 2 years and now got this SMP 300 in blue, amazing!
Picked up this omega today. My first high end watch. Been saving for a very long time.
On the way out i spotted an iwc387903 and tried it on.
I loved it and i gotta say it looks soo much better in person. Photos make it look kind of dull in my opinion but wow it was incredible.
Im new to this watch world but ive loved and been drawn to watches ever since i was about 6 years old.
My grandmother used to tell me i used to ask to see everyones watch when i was a little boy.
Very happy with my purchase
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these UA-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
Is your also going +3 sec on a day?
zero scratches on crystal and i wear the hell out of it
take it to the lake and beach and play in the sand with my son. no issues

That dial is something my eyes will never get tired of. Omega killed it with this one!
I agree 110% cant think of another watch right now! Ending up on this no matter what brand i see. Omega did a great job for sure, iam happy they did keep the old look and shaped in to this modern but kept the old history in this new one!
@@ottoman5375 Looks like this one is going to end up in your watch box soon I suppose!
Iam really planning to buy this watch :). I had a chrono seamaster 3 years ago. But i always regret selling it. But this one really got my attention so i will buy this one and keep it for a very long time :). Hope everyone could enjoy this timepiece! Have a nice day sir!
@@ottoman5375 Just make sure you don't sell this beauty or you will regret it again haha. Have a great day!
Just don't like the slow date change on the omegas some cheaper Swiss watches have a better midnight date change which is quicker
Better than a Sub. They nailed this one.
While I don't care for the bracelet of the new Seamster, I overall like its wave dial and general updates, which as a whole make it a distinct diver watch. Great review. Thanks.
Jeffrey McMahon that’s what natos and rubber straps are for ;)
Slippschitts Hey you look stupid
I have the master co-axial 300 on a nato strap. But I have to say, that seamaster diver bracelet is ICONIC. So different from other brands and I love it. Cant understand why people dont like it. Maybe because it's that different?
I’ve got the blue 300m version. Love it. The bracelet is amazing once you start wearing it.
Absolutely agree The bracelet comfort is second to none. Even better than the Sub.
I got the black version and agree that the bracelet feels awesome, even more comfortable than the one of my Breitling.
I just don’t like the look of it. I would get the rubber strap I think
BrightSparkling@Soul it is much more comfortable but definitely not as good looking. The way the bracelet tappers on the Rolex is so much more attractive. The nine piece on the SMP is garbage how it’s intermittently polished on the links. Lame O yes more comfortable though but not buy much. I got the new titanium Bond bracelet for mine. Love it way more now !!
Would you wear it with a suit Paul ? Or is it too casual ?
That’s a beautiful watch Bruce. I still wear my 1997 Seamaster and just actually got it back from Omega from its first service (19 years) no damage, no big deal. Just a regular service. Great brand. I love that it has an open case back
How much was your service?
Just when you think the Omega Seamaster line can't get any better, Omega outperforms the previous model. Magnificent timepiece!
cjcar63 which isn’t entirely a good thing.
I tried the blue and black one on a few weeks ago and they are both stunning. It has the flavour of the original Seamaster but also feels super modern and super premium. I think Bruce is right about it being a equivalent to the sub for a much better price. I would rather have the Omega over the Rolex personally now it’s that good. The best watch at this price point by a mile 👍🏼
I used to want a Submariner, however when I saw this one and then compared specs and prices, I felt stupid wanting a Submariner. Bought the Omega and I can't be happier.
Manuel TP good choice 👍🏼 I’m getting a blue one ☝️ I’ve always wanted a sub too but they are now over priced and over rated. They are a bit boring too. Omega have really taken things to a new level with this new Seamaster 👍🏼
And I thought I was the only on who found the sub boring and even insignificant on my wrist... I never got the so called “understated” aesthetic of the Sub and Rolex in general for that matter. They just never did anything for me and I was never able to bring myself to buy one.
I would choose the Omega over Rolex any day even they were priced the same.
Manuel TP I share the exact same experience, walking into Rolex ads got any subs nope , give me a break .had no intention of buying the omega but after trying it , it couldn’t be denied almost an unbelievable watch . Actually some presence on wrist !!
I own the Bond version; it’s an incredible piece. I own an older sub, and it’s night and day. Bracelet better in person and once you wear it, wow, amazing.
Just picked one up today. It’s my first omega. I’ve had Rolex’s for the past 15 years and yes I have a new favorite every day watch
Had an original bond Seamaster Professional I bought new in 2002. Serviced it twice over its lifespan and that watch served me well. Thought about replacing it but flat out did not care for the non wave dial of the 2011-2017 model. I saw this at an AD last weekend and couldn’t get it off my mind. Went in today and secured a 20% discount and pulled the trigger. I feel like I got an updated and massively improved replacement for old reliable. Every single feature is better. The features, attention to detail and the build quality are at least on-par with Rolex and the price is less than half. Plus... I can have one without smooching up to an AD who wants me to prove myself worthy by stepping through the purchase of lesser models and a ring, bracelet or earrings in the cases on the other side of the store. I am scratching that itch for nostalgia for the older version (and my first fine timepiece) while getting cutting edge technology and quality. As my sone would say.. “It’s dope!”.the dial is a quantum leap in the beauty department. I can scarcely take my eyes off of it when the sun plays on the gloss blue surface, the precision laser cut wave pattern and the jewel-like sparkle of the hands and applied markers (which were just dollops of lume paint on the old one) . Aside from the overall aesthetic and design elements there is NO comparison between these watches. Oh.. yeah.. and move over glidelock.. the Omega ratcheting micro-adjust just ate your lunch. Couldn’t be more pleased
Just a few hours to go untill mine arives! I must have spent five months deciding which colour, but I've gone for the Black, timeless and versitile.
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these UA-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
How you like the watch Phil?
@@lilboysweatnicabrandonshow8568 Sorry for the late reply. Not noticing any scratches, however, it does seem to appear greasy sometimes, especially if I wear it in bed, which I do with all of my watches?
@@samuellp1146 It's great for me. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and think it looks spot on, doesn't wear as thick as you would think either. The lume is great on the markers, but does get a bit difficult to read on the hands after a period of time.
@@MiddleAgedBrit no probs! I got this watch last year October 16 from my wife for my 41st birthday and after 5 months in its great! I do see the grease from time to time but love this watch! Now we have to put up with the new Swatch watch haha
Stunning watch with a timeless wave pattern dial. The Seamaster is one of my favorits all time watches. Hopefully I'll have the pleasure of owning one at some point.
Wave pattern are not timeless at all! If it's timeless why does Omega keep changing it with every model?
E Larson all da best everyone starts somewhere hopefully in the near future you get one :)
@@marcusnns It's a trademark Seamaster look, and I think they received enough negative feedback from removing it that they've put it back. Sales numbers on the new model with the laser etched waves seems to indicate people like it.
The crystal and AR look amazing on this watch. Super clear...
Yep super clear. 👍
Man I'm really beginning to LOVE this watch especially on the Omega rubber or nato strap. All these videos are tempting as hell too! Great video as always bro!
EMKWAN REVIEWS Time for you to make a video on this!
I have it on the rubber strap/steel. Absolutely love it! I’ve owned Rolex for years. Grown bored and tired of the commercialized reputation it’s gotten. Omega offers same quality, fit/finish and performance as a Rolex. At a fraction of the price. Part of me says I wish I got the white dial, but I got 15% off the black dial in stock, so I’m happy. Really enjoying looking at it.
Seamaster has always been my favourite watch - always come back to the Seamaster. Bought the blue one when it was released. Personally prefer to Submariner, this gets much more wrist time. The black looks dressier than the blue and your great video really shows it off in all of its glory :)
It’s been about 6 months and still can’t stop looking at mine. The one and only watch I’ll ever need. I’m glad I took the time to save for this and not buy something cheaper.
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these UA-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
@@lilboysweatnicabrandonshow8568 not an issue with this time piece at all. It still looks like the day I got it. And I wear it everyday after work and weekends.
@@bobfromcalgary8453 thanks Bob it’s one of those things some people are unlucky I guess and if you wear it everyday that’s even more an investment and gem! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with your watch. I’m hoping my wife gets me this watch for my 41st birthday lol since I got a Breitling SuperOcean heritage 46mm for my 40th last year.
Got one a few weeks ago, can't stop looking at it. This is my first luxury watch.
Congrats!
I ordered mine from my AD early-mid February. How long did it take for you to get yours after ordering?
Mine is estimated to be ready around mid-March.
Congrats on the watch :)
@@michaeldelligatti1934my local dealer had one in stock, I called them and they saved it to me, so I had no waiting hehe.
You will love it
I'm stuck deciding between this and Tudor BB as my first. Go with Omega over Tudor?
I just purchased this watch with a silver dial , blue bezel and steel bracelet! Absolutely love 💕 this masterpiece! Far surpasses Rolex!!
I purchased the same. It was such a good looking watch.
Im also just about to buy the blue bezel and SILVER DIAL - was going to go for black bezel and background but wanted something edgier - the silver dial and blue bezel pops yeah !!
How does it far surpass Rolex? What can it do that a Rolex can’t?
That's the one I want!
Russell Brown your question for real?!
Trying one on in person converted me so hard and now I can't stop thinking about it. It's so substantial, and feels like amazing quality in and out for the money.
Had the same experience. I liked it but on pics and videos I didn't really love it. Then I tried it on at the AD while I was actually there for another watch. Since then I was sold, so I picked mine up this week!
True true true
Omega just crapped all over Rolex’s overrated & overpriced for the same-old-watches bubble with this one. What an extremely beautiful & innovative timepiece!
Kai Splendor totally agree
@Mark Michael the hands are definitely what is putting me off. Am thinking about the Deep Black GMT Seamaster from 2016 I thinkt.
Mark Michael the hands are perfect. They scream modern elegance. Especially when compared to the ultra cheesy “Mercedes” hour hand on the Sub, GMT Master, Explorer...etc
I am enjoying my Omega Seamaster. Grey dials and absolutely beautiful when the light shines on it. Loving it and enjoying wearing this almost every day except when swimming, I use my Seiko Prospex great white shark. 😁
jimmyjay122 it boils down to personal taste. I love both. If your a horological fan and can afford those you will love both. I have both in my inventory and they have equal wrist time. If you hate on the just the same like Samsung and Apple stupid fan boys. Watches are for man not boys.
I just ordered the exact one today. I have a Hamilton Khaki and a couple of Tissots but this is my first Luxury watch purchase. I was a little nauseous after spending so much on a watch but I know I will love it when it comes in next week. I was on the fence between this one or a Tudor Pelagos, but I think I made the right decision. I love watching videos like this because it gives me some reassurance.
Congratulations on the purchase! I personally would've gone with the Pelagos though - there's a few reasons for it. Keep in mind, I am biased due to owning one. The reasons are: automatic helium escape valve as opposed to manual, ceramic ball bearing clasp (will never wear out), buttery smooth winding, higher BPH, superior lume, and easier to clean up. The SMP is definitely an awesome choice though if you want something that is more dressy.
Personally, I will be going with the SMP for my next upscale watch. The Pelagos is a great piece too, but the aesthetic is anti-dress functionalism. I respect it, but when I want to wear something that’s really functional and for banging around, that’s what my Casio Mudmaster is for.
Admittedly, I'm a Rolex fanboy, but dumped the plain looking 116610LN for a new blue wave dial 300m. It's got so much more eye appeal and tech upgrades. Just a better watch at less than half the price, that you can actually find!
An outstanding watch, the Omega range right now is amazing.
Never cared for the old one, but this thing is virtually perfect
Perfect modern diver. Truly a masterpiece
I got it for 50th birthday, it’s even more beautiful in live . I love the size and the finish of the watch, I love the fact that has one barrel. Of course it would look better without the helium crown but then it wouldn’t be “ original seamaster “ . I only wish it was 22mm lug and tapered down to 20 . It is very comfortable to wear . Great review .
BEAUTIFUL dial, I had a Sunburst/electric blue dial full sized Seamaster about 15 years ago and sold it, I wish I never did, loved that electric blue dial!!!!! So the 8800 is their newest and best movement now? Titanium version is nice due to the lower weight on the wrist, I have a Sinn T-1, Ball 3000 meter Titanium diver and a few L&B AQT-2
I think I will look around for one of those, that's a GORGEOUS piece
So when Tudor released the Black Bay it took the watch community by storm. I love the BB because I have one but frankly this new Seamaster is off the charts in every way and in my opinion demands attention from all who are watch enthusiasts. I saw it in person and it literally blew me away, it punches so far above it's weight. I have to say that it's ridiculous that Omega has marked it at what they have because it easily contends and frankly beats the Sub in almost all levels. Yes I've ordered this version and can't wait for it to arrive.
Exactly well said it does demand respect from true watch enthusiasts. Tried on all the Tudor hype and this watch blew them away . Wasn’t even on my radar , but it couldn’t be denied of all the watches in the shop . It’s an incredible timepiece . Stunning in person .
@@zachward7707 I’ve been on the verge of picking one up for far too long. :))
Currently have a Breitling which I love. This is going to be my next Swiss luxury watch.
Yep my wife bought me a 46mm Breitling SuperOcean Heritage for my 40th birthday last year and once I saw this, I would love this for my next luxury watch. We have the same good taste bro!
@@gogakh8444 good question, my wife bought me the Omega Seamaster 300 Professional 3 weeks ago for my 41st birthday. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have back to back birthday luxury watches! To have both timepieces, I would suggest the Omega Seamaster would be ideal to have the rubber strap. Brietling’s bracelet is far more superior than Seamaster. The Breitling in my opinion is very underrated and it should be left untouched. In saying that both have a unique look. Breitling has more the bling effect with the compliments of the blue sea dial whilst Omega has that Rolex Submariner look but with a great wave dial. Either way you cannot lose 👌
After getting this one and having a Submariner like you as well... this omega Seamaster looks even better than my Submariner and of course, technically is ahead. I totally agreed with you
The best 300 yet! Only thing they missed on is printing the name and logo, they should have applied it like on the PO and even AT.
@@jimmyv.495 nope, printed.
Personally I think it was a smart move printing the logo and name because the dial would look too busy in my opinion. It's already busy with the wave pattern to me.
I love the fact that they added a quick adjust clasp.
beautiful watch and in the version with blue dial is more beautiful...
Yes that is a great looking watch. I would like a thinner tapered bracelet but this is subjective it’s a stunner..
Wow! This looks like a fantastic update to a classic. The new dial has really grown on me...I would love to see a head to head video with this and the PO and GMT. Thank you for sharing your new watch with us Mr Williams. Thank you for another excellent review Bruce :)
Just got this one from my wife for Christmas 🎄 i love it . I have a longines hydroconquest and a tag heuer aquaracer and this omega omg 😍😍 love it
You have a good wife 👍
congrats duviel !!
hd31 are you talking for personal experience? If so too bad that happened to you maybe you deserve it because you never were a good husband..
Dial has a modern aesthetic. Thanks for sharing!
Looks phenomenal. Clearly looks sweeter than the Sub at this point. One wonders if Rolex will ever update the now old as dirt Sub movement to give it some additional anti-mag qualities. Not that it matter since you cannot even buy Subs at retail. This new SM300Pro is serious bang per buck.
I bought a sub in January for retail without having a relationship with the AD
Wait until you actually try on both the Sub and the SM. Cause when it comes to overall wrist presence the Rolex is extremely disappointing...
jimmyjay122 the sub isn’t disappointing at all though, it’s elegant and classy, while the sea master looks much bigger and sportier
Johan Stevens To each their own... I’ve tried several times to buy one and I’ve repeatedly tried on the Sub and the GMT master II and they both felt insignificant on the wrist. I’m not into this whole “understated” aesthetic. Combine that with their boring and almost femininely narrow bracelets (another shock I received at the AD) and that was it for me. Keeping in mind that I’ve obsessed about it for a couple of months before visiting the AD, seeing all the pictures watching all the videos (as is the case with almost every watch I’ve ever bought).
I’ll finally say this, even if the Submariner and the Seamaster were the same price I would choose the Omega in a heartbeat.
It’s Time Rolex has the anti magnetic technology, but it’s in the Milgauss. A hideous watch that if I remember correctly doesn’t even have a date feature. They will add the anti magnetic feature to more watches in the future of course so as to justify adding a grand or 2 to their price. The only difference between Rolex and several watchmakers like Omega or Baume & Mercier or Breitling is marketing and branding strategies. Quality... not so much. And aesthetics not at all.
The bracelet is a bone of contention for so many. I, personally, really like it.
I like the bracelet to
It looks a little bit 1992
Your right it does. I tried it at an Omega AD and felt the sides of the bracelet really sharp. My old Breitling with professional bracelet is so much more comfortable. But overall the Omega offers so much, it’s a great watch.
I just bought this watch in White dial. The whole experience of Omega (box/papers/details) is just amazing and even nicer than my Rolex unboxing experience. Just so happy with it
well its official... Just scored a black wave dialed Omega SMP! 😁👍🤘 You're 2 for 2 on assisting my watch purchase. First being the Seiko Samurai Save the Ocean..... Cheers 🥃
Would choose this over Submariner in a heartbeat. Even if they had the same price.
Esa Elias he can walk out of the AD and have it. With Rolex you wait weeks/months and can’t even see the movement and ain’t that anti magnetic like omega. Also Rolex certificate is intern and not transparent, as with omega you can see all the results with pictures of your watch tested in the official omega webpage when you put in your serial no and other stuff. Just some differences.
even submariner cheaper I would do seamaster still, I buy the one I love, not the investment waiting for sell.
I can’t afford this but I’m gonna get the Chronometer version because that’s what watch people do spend all you got to make your dreams come true
It really is a beautiful watch. For me the scalloped bezel grip and crown HEV just kind of threw me off when I was living with it at the AD for a little while. Also, it’s a 42mm with a 50mm lug to lug. But wears more like a 40mm with a 48mm lug to lug. Still a great diver, but I’d have to say my Pelagos takes the cake
Traded my Submariner tutor the Omega Seamaster diver in blue with SS. Of course I got a boat load of cash and a very beautiful watch!!
I love this watch and have added it to my list for the collection. I’ve found a new found live for Omega after buying the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Great video and review 👍
got the black one from an Omega Boutique for $4,160 !! after tax it was around 4400
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these UA-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
42 mm is a good size. Size of watches have grown over the years. Wearing something like 40 mm or smaller is like wearing a ladies watch or a boys watch. The new generation of sports watches now range from 42 to 44 mm. Therefore 42 mm on the new Seamaster is already conservative for a dive watch. Recently I took my old Seamaster out from the drawer which is 38 mm. Oh my, it looks like a ladies watch and seems so old-fashioned due to its small dimensions! I regretted not buying the 41 mm version at that time. Yet my wrist isn't big by any means. So guys, this new 42 mm is perfectly fine for any wrist, so please don't ask for anything smaller like a 40 mm or less.
@R A Thank you for your kind comments!
On the contrary, watches have grown bigger over the years and has stablised, not declined. As seen from most watchmakers, dive watches mostly range from 42 to 44 mm. It's tragic some people are too blind to realise and too proud to even admit this.
You are right, there are people who are lacking, so they can't even wear a slightly bigger timepiece, not to mention their lack in other departments. Again, it's either they can't see or refuse to see. Tragic.
@R A Ouch! That's nasty! I thought we are civilised people, unless you aren't. That is a personal attack on your part. If you can't accept feedback objectively, run along, not respond. Why choose to be offensive and barbaric in the first place? It is obviously a waste of time and energy writing to you, so this shall be my last reply. And I shall refrain from learning from you by calling names and making suggestive, lewd remarks. Indeed you need to be more respectful in life. Unfortunately you haven't and won't reach that level of wisdom. Period. Goodbye and all the best.
Got the silver version for Christmas (gift from wife), love it!
I've purchased the same watch just waiting to collect it on my birthday. Looking at your video is making me smile with anticipation!
Love the Planet Ocean with the orange bezel and this one is a beauty too.
Outstanding watch!
I just purchased a Tissot Seastar 2000 in Blue/green and is impressive however this watch will be mine as well, 6-8 months and he’ll around my wrist 😎 it is a perfect all around watch.
Yup. Loving mine in blue!
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these UA-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
@@lilboysweatnicabrandonshow8568 I see some micro scratches on the coating of the crystal in some lighting situations and at the right angle, but it's not super noticeable at all. Watch looks great 99.6% of the time, IMO.
I have the 2017 version and love it, but this has my eye wandering....
I’ve always loved the Omega Seamaster range, and unfortunately I’ve never been able to afford one. I am now in a position to buy one so after seeing this review I’m certain that this watch would be perfect. Thank you
Damon Meadowcroft awesome I feel happy for you. Wear it in good health:)
Absolutely perfect first luxury piece a true do it all watch , stunning, brilliant movement and totally original .
Absolutely gorgeous watch!!
*sigh* time to start saving...
HI BRUCE THIS NEW OMEGA WATCH REALLY POPS I DO LIKE WHAT I SEE AND CERTAINLY IF I HAD THE MONEY ON THE WRIST THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR DOWN TO EARTH REVIEWS . I CERTAINLY RESPECT AND ENJOY YOUR THE COMMENT'S YOU SHARE WITH US AS THEY ARE REAL AND PRACTICAL.SEMPER FI
Love mine. Hard to decide between it and the 600 Ti but the 300 steel black is much more versatile and visually captivating.
Waiting for the 39mm version
Ben Skelton it’s not coming
why ben skelton, buy 42 mm... it isn't too big, i have a small wrist and i like it so much
It's way to big for smaller wrist. Tends to look goofy with all that loud dail. I prefer the previous seahamster with smaller size and calmer but still stunning dail. On the previous seamaster the omega logo is applied and three dimensional.
@@LiquidSm0ke agreed
It’s really beautiful what they did with this one. I have the previous ceramic smp and I think it offers fantastic value for money, especially lightly used. I paid $2500 for mine and the dude wore it like once
Been waiting on this review for a while. Great job 🍻 What a leap Omega made with this SM. I wear a ceramic sub date and can’t help but marvel at the upgrades of the dial, crowns, and hour markers. Never been a huge fan of the bracelet due to lack of taper, however, I guess I’m just bias due to the sub. But I digress. Great recognizes great and this one gets a solid 👍🏻.
bought mine for diving. that wetsuit extension is a must in a diver that has potential for its intended use.
if it weren't for the Helium escape valve this would definitely be a superior watch to the submariner which is now the more versatile option. I wonder why omega wouldn't give that a try !
That’s what’s holding me back from it. I love the dial and the bezel but I hate that helium valve
Some watches just seem to hit your taste sweet spot, this watch does that for me.
Looks great yes. Perhaps even perfect if it was 41.5mm or 40mm. I'm considering this to be my next watch.
41.5 it is the same that 42mm, it is not to big for a diver watch...even with a small wrist
I’ve owned a ton of SMP’s. My only issue is they too fancy now lol. Before total tool watch, but wearing the new ones, which I’ve owned a few of, I end up wipeing the fancy glossy bezels a few times an hour (fingerprints), and the shiny bits seem too fancy for a tool watch. The PO too. Just my $.02.
Alexander Pineiro agreed, I feel like I’m constantly cleaning the watch bezels on these lol. That why I love my Breitlings - they are made to bling. Feel like Omega missed the boat on what the Seamaster was and maybe why Bruce just sold his blue 1, and I recently sold my SMPc...
Alexander Pineiro I’ve owned the Black Bay Blue, Steel, 36 & 41 lol. Sold my BB Blue, hoping for a BB58 blue and/or a quick adjust clasp, had issues with how the BB 41mms fit. Either too tight or too loose.
Alexander Pineiro 👍👍💯
I have tried the seamaster and I love it ,the black one look magnificent for my wrist !
Great review. I received mine this week. It looks even better in real life than in the video!!
Hi Bruce, revisiting this review from a couple years ago. I'd like this to be my next watch. Going to be trouble getting the wife on board, but..
Thank you, great video.
Fantastic review! Very thorough and great angle shots of the watch
Looks great, I'm going to get one in green, I'm not playing rolexes silly games any more, no more waiting lists, Tudor are now doing the same thing
I got the blue one yesterday and it’s a great watch can’t stop looking at it a great buy .
Running at my dealer as soon as they bring back the classic sword hands version...
And don't forget to mention, it comes with a free cap if you ever loose the one on your tube of toothpaste.
Lmao... Priceless, dude!!! Lol
In person this watch looks so good.
It does. The white dial in person is incredible. The waves disappear at certain angles
It’s wonderful ,held one in my hands last weekend. I have a Planet Ocean also but the Seamaster 300 beats it hands down now, I’m sad to say. Thing is now I want one besides the PO, guess I’m just greedy! 😆
The thing about the bracelet is that those squared off links mean less travel. So over time you will find there is less wear and stretch.
Nice and interesting video , I’m owned of one in blue dial and It’s simply the Diver!.
Thanks you so much to guide me in watch collecting.
Great review Bruce, that clasp comparison was compelling. The question must be asked, if you had to choose between the new SMP or your PO, which would you go for and why?
Great review man, its an awesome watch
Great video and comments. Love the look of ZrO2 and METAS certificates. I’m getting the grey dial with blue rubber band.
This sea master is so much more value than the sub! Looking forward to getting one of these soon!
Finally picked mine up today (rubber strap), the watch is a delight
Nice review as always! Lovely watch. I'm torn between this and the older model for my first luxury piece!
Michael Taylor I just bought the outgoing in blue. It is superb. Much thinner, no novelty display back, clean dial. It’s just better IMO. Future classic. The only ceramic Seamaster without wave dial.
There is nothing to be torn in between. This is absolutely a handsome timepiece, much better than the previous model aesthetically. It is also technically superior in movement, quality and finishing as well as choice of new materials like the glossy ceramic bezel insert and fantastic laser-etched wave dial. What's there to be torn in between? It's just that straightforward, dude. Why are you hesitating unnecessarily?
I am in the same boat as you! I absolutely love the look of the new version but the lug to lug is a bit too much and i prefer the bracelet of the previous model. BUT this new rendition it’s so damn good looking! And that movement ....wow!
I ended getting the newer version because I felt that I would regret spending all of that money and not getting the more future proof watch. It's slightly larger but not a deal breaker.
Great review Bruce! This could be the "one watch" collection. I think it's just a bit too "sporty" in terms of size and look compared to the previous model. Personally I love the more descret appearance of its predecessor. Nevertheless, really great watch from Omega!
If only the watch bracelets tapered down in someways, that would be great.
Jc Joble and perhaps offer a smaller size option without date window
and something in pink, with Snoopy on his doghouse...
Arrrrrrr no taper on the braclet and there was me thinking it was just me that had that veiw.
I really hope they never do that 😆
It depends on your wrist size. I have an 8 inch wrist which fits the current bracelet perfectly. I tried using Nato straps but it didn't seem to blend perfectly with my wrist. I put back the original bracelet and truth be told, it really shines and fits my wrist perfectly.
Haha I wanted to have the exact PO you showed at the beginning, but as it is not available any more, I will now switch to the SMP 😉 good choice and good taste!
LOVEIT MAYBE A BIT BIG ON MY 7 INCH WRISTS
nah! i have a 6 inc wrist and i want it... for my wrist it is a little big but i don't care, i like so much !
Better than sub and half the price
I think aside from desk diving, the reason the jump hour was not implemented here was mainly due to the design purpose. The aquaterra in 41mm was designed for the sailor on the teak deck of his yatch, much more likely to be jumping timezones than the professional which is geared more as a diving tool. The lack of the jump hour also allows the movement to be less complex with less that can go wrong.
Now as to why the 38mm aquaterras also do not have that jump hour, it might be due to the movement being smaller? Needs confirmation, but might also explain it as I would expect a 300m tool diver to have beefier case sides than a 150m sport-casual watch.
There's a lot to like about this new Seamaster 300, but I hope they come out with a military styled version with the broadsword hands, a more aggressive edged bezel, remove the manual HE valve, and a tapered bracelet similar to the Speedmaster with the new ratcheting internal clasp!
Get the PO then ;-)
While adding bulk to a watch is usually something that dissuades me, I can fully understand their choice to add the diver extension. This still is a dive watch, and it keeps it as such-whether people use it or not is another story. However, the size increase has removed this watch from my purchase list. I tried it on at my local AD, and while I could get away with it, I decided it’s bigger than the look I prefer with my 6.5” wrist. Fingers crossed that they update the size of the mid-size to 38/39
Get a PO8800, it is a 39.5mm and it fits my 6.5'' wrist perfectly.
i have a 2000 professional seamaster 1120 movement...2254 model with sword needles... recently came from service...and i said is amazing... this one..is a beauty...👍
