    The Omega is a real looker. The dial sometimes is shiny, sometimes not. The ceramic details on the bezel really pop, even better than the sub and are flush which is a real bonus. Just an all around more fun watch to look at in different lighting conditions. Let’s face it, we all love to look at our watches and on the front and back, the Omega is just better looking.

    I have Pelagos from 30.12.2020. I was heading for North Flag, but I tried Pelagos and Black Bay P01. I was surprised at how light Pelagos was, despite his size. I haven't had a titanium watch before. Pelagos is not my type of watch, but something happened. I liked it and with each passing day I like it more and more. This is not a watch like love at first sight. However, it is its simplicity, which you can not get enough of, that makes you like it more and more. It is obvious that it is made according to all the rules of perceptions - reduce to the maximum. What is most impressive, however, is the accuracy of the movement - in the first month it worked with an accuracy of -1.4 seconds. per day. Now he is 5.5 seconds behind for 16 days, regardless of the position in which he lies. Unbelievable.

    I’ve owned a Pelagos and currently have the black dialed Seamaster. I love both, but the Omega is technically on another level with the coax. I agree that Tudor has the better bracelet, but the Omega is still quite good in that regard. I think the Omega is significantly more wearable and flexible. Also, I think you may have missed a trick by not showing either on their respective rubber straps. The Omega is KILLER on its OEM rubber

    I own the blue Pelagos -- There is something about the stark simplicity and contrast of the dial and bezel. It also feels rugged and reliable. It's my go-to tool watch. It also keeps miraculously impeccable time. That said, I do admit to checking out the white seamaster videos. I love everything about it - except that helium escape valve at the 10 o'clock position. It's the one visual feature that I can't get past. Also - like you, I'm not a fan of the non-tapering braclet. Cheers - Dennis

  • @anthonystevens8683

    Great constructive review Adrian. I've tried both watches at an AD (the pelagos was an LHD in black) and I really like the Pelagos in blue from photographs but prefer the LHD version in black and for what it is, a tool watch it does all that I'd want. No pizzazz it just does the job incredibly well. The bracelet is incredibly functional and easy to use for us mere mortals as well. The lume of the hands and ceramic bezel it incredible . The in house movement with 70 hours reserve and COSC certification at the price is a real plus also. This watch does what it needs to do for a purpose and it does it really well.
    The Omega is something different though, that white dial with the waves is something that you really need to see in the flesh, it's simply a work of art in different lighting conditions, the black skeleton hands, the black ceramic bezel with white inlay is just gorgeous in my humble opinion. The bracelet with the on the fly push to fit is great as well. The Omega is the more versatile watch given the case and lug shape along with that dial with the date at 6. The tooth paste cap at 10 is easily forgotten on the wrist. It;'s a heritage thing at the end of the day.
    In summary, if you need a watch to do the job the Pelagos would take my hard earned cash. But if you want something more versatile and have the extra money the Omega would be the one to shrink my bank account. Given a choice I'd want both.

So glad you're still enjoying your Seamaster; I bought a 300 Master Co-axial (the vintagey one) in titanium with a blue dial and bezel (I think a nicer blue than the Pelagos ... hmnmmm, maybe you should consider that instead, if you're looking for blue and titanium and are now an Omega fan-boy) to keep me company during the first lockdown, and I absolutely love it. The bracelet seems to scratch if I wear merino instead of cashmere but I've grown to accept that. The watch keeps AMAZINGLY good time - to within a second or two over a month - and I don't know why the tastefully tanned lume get's called "faux" tina: I think it simply looks like a good colour choice to suit the dial.

    Thanks for the great video. I was on the fence between the two but went with the exact white dial Omega.. while I like the Tudor, I have quite a few tool Diver watches that look the same and love the style and design of the Omega as well as the movement .

    I got a pelagos during mid lock down as my first everyday professional watch. Love the materials, price, and simple design. It is arock solid piece and something about wearing a “Tudor” brand on your wrist makes it much easier to wear around daily. The extra price/name with omega makes it more difficult to wear/use to its fullest. Also, the rubber strap that comes with the Tudor almost encourages one to really wear it in all situations.

    Finally getting around to this one. Test driving the Pelagos now (borrowed) from a friend incredibly nice to send it to me. The blue/matte finish seems very divisive but I love it. Need to try on a Seamaster though I don’t love the scalloped edges of the Omega bezel visually even though they serve a purpose obviously. I could easily see that being a very favorable visible attribute to some, however. There’s also something very 90’s TAG about the Omega bracelet design but I may be over thinking it. Haha. Great vid per usual, my man!

    The white dial of the Seamaster is what makes the difference aesthetically (even among the Seamaster line). it's just stunning. Also, the finish of the dial. The printing on the Pelagos is a bit 'fluffy' - admittedly not very obvious with the naked eye and from more than a foot away, however there is a reason the Omega is pricier.

      This is wrong, people need to stop saying this. You have three notches of adjustment and that's all. The spring is too tight to comfortably flex around your wrist when it expands. I actually can't get a proper fit on the bracelet, so much so that I consider selling it. I just love the dial, is all. They would've saved money and headaches if they just made it "notches" all the way to the end, basically like a glide-lock.

    Great vid. Love these two watches. I wonder how the Pelagos would do going through METAS testing. Very well I think. I suspect the reason not to put it through is COSC is already a high standard, and the expense it would add to the watch, as it does with the Omega.
    My Peli is my fav watch 😁👍🏻

    • @michaelcheshareck3275
      @michaelcheshareck3275 3 роки тому +1

      My Pelagos is stunningly accurate, dead on over the last 61 days. I believe Tudor regulates their watches to -3S to +3S a day, so they go beyond COSC and many users report stunning accuracy. My Seamaster Pro is also very accurate, but more like off between 5-10 seconds a month. So quite a bit better than the rating, just not freaky accurate like my Pelagos. I have no doubts that the Omega can handle magnetic fields better than the Pelagos, and the movement is nice to look at through the sapphire case back. Both are great watches.

    I would say that, even if the Tudor cost as much as the Omega, there's a cigarette paper between both watches in terms of quality. It's really down to personal preference.
    In terms of the movements, the METAS certification was announced about 6 years ago, and, to my mind, is as much a marketing exercise (as much as anything) initiated by the Swatch group for Omega watches.This is why only Omega watches are METAS certified - because this is (essentially) an Omega certification done "independently" through METAS. Hence, why would any other brands want/be able to do the same.
    Brands like Omega, Rolex and Tudor usually test their watches above and beyond COSC level anyway.

SMP bracelet definitely needs a refresh and I'm sure we will see it in the new revision of the SMP whenever that is along with an increased power reserve.

    Love my Pelly LHD even far more than I loved the standard 5-line black Pelagos I had since March 2016, and I LOVED that last Pelly every day I owned her (she was my daily wear in the office and while diving). Interestingly, the first expensive diver I owned many years ago (mid-90s) was the Seamaster Pro Chrono, which I wore (again as my daily office and dive watch) until 2016 when I moved to the Pelagos. NOW... still LOVE my LHD, but I have to admit I'm sorely tempted to add a Seamaster NTTD (only thing stopping me is the 007 branding on the case back -- oh, and the price!) to the rotation.

I tried to get the model without the Helium escape valve and the salesperson smiled and said it didn't exist. As a first time customer for Omega I would suggest they get rid of that Helium escape valve and make it a bit smaller.
