All New Metallic Line Up
Since 1993, the Seamaster Diver 300M has stood out as a hallmark of OMEGA’s ocean-inspired craftsmanship. This year, the iconic collection evolves once more with a fresh lineup of models, offering a spectrum of metallic designs to suit diverse tastes. So lets tale a look at the new no date Omega Seamaster 300m Metallic, (that’s not its official name)
Departing from the ceramic-focused designs of recent years, the latest Diver 300M series draws heavily from the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, famously worn in No Time To Die.
A defining feature of these 42 mm models is their domed sapphire crystal, which lends the watches a retro charm. Complementing this aesthetic, the mesh bracelets—borrowed directly from the Bond watch—add a bold, adventurous edge to these timepieces.
Steel On Steel
With two new options: a no-date black dial stainless steel or the brushed silver dial and bezel. Both models are available with either a rubber or Milanese bracelet. With a slightly domed sapphire crystal and display case back. With the recognisable 300M bold dive bezel, skeletonised sword hands and manual helium escape valve. The silver dial is brushed PVD-treated stainless steel and has a laser-ablated titanium bezel insert. Although the black dial may be more popular, this is the one I favour out of the two.
This 42 mm watch combines stainless steel construction with a Grade 5 titanium bezel, featuring a raised diving scale achieved through precision laser engraving. At the 12 o’clock mark, a single dot of white luminescent material ensures clarity in low-light conditions.
The brushed PVD-treated steel dial pairs seamlessly with polished, open-worked hands and markers, all filled with luminous white material to enhance readability. Bold black transfers showcase the branding and other details, creating a striking contrast.
Mounted on a brushed mesh strap with a secure clasp, the watch is powered by the advanced OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, visible through a transparent caseback made of sapphire crystal.
These no-date models are a great addition to the lineup. The monochrome look of these new models is on point and should be popular. However, there are just too many to choose from. How many Seamaster 300M does Omega need, 32 and counting, I think they need to slim the range down. My main gripe, though, is the price; at £5600.00 on the rubber or £6100.00 on a bracelet, I still feel they are overpriced.
But now, after the sneak preview on Daniel Craig’s wrist at the 2024 Paris Olympics, it’s finally here for us mortals to buy. So next time you near an Omega boutique, head in and ask to see the “Omega Seamaster Daniel Craig”, as this is the nickname it’s picked up. Hail the Omega Seamaster 300m Metallic.
