Omega recently unveiled four new models of the Seamaster Diver 300M, marking a departure from the recent design. Inspired by the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, these watches feature a vintage aesthetic with a 42mm stainless steel case, domed sapphire crystal, and mesh bracelets. The absence of a date window simplifies the dial, which comes in two variations: ´black aluminium with wave pattern or brushed PVD stainless steel. Each watch is powered by the Calibre 8806, ensuring precision and performance. The collection is now part of Omega’s permanent offerings, with prices starting at EUR 6,500.
The Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date features a 42mm stainless steel case with a height of 13.8mm. The design remains faithful to the original, with a notched bezel in either steel with a black aluminium insert or grade 5 titanium. Notable elements include the screw-down crown at 3 o’clock and the helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, ensuring the watch’s functionality in underwater conditions. The domed sapphire crystal adds a vintage touch while providing durability and scratch resistance. A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the inner workings of the movement.
The absence of a date window on the Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date simplifies the dial. The model with steel bezel features a black aluminium dial with laser-engraved waves, reminiscent of early Seamaster models. In contrast, the model with titanium bezel has a vertically brushed steel PVD-coated dial. Both dials showcase the familiar architecture with applied hour markers, skeleton hour and minute hands, and a central lollipop seconds hand, all filled with Super-LumiNova for enhanced readability in low light conditions.
Powering the Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date is the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. This in-house automatic movement operates at a frequency of 25,200 vibrations per hour and features the brand’s signature co-axial escapement. It has a single barrel providing a power reserve of 55 hours. The movement is METAS Master Chronometer certified, ensuring precision and performance under varying conditions. The rotor, finished with Côtes de Genève and red varnished lettering, adds an aesthetic appeal visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
These Seamaster Diver 300M with either a stainless steel mesh bracelet or black/grey rubber straps. The mesh bracelet, similar to those on the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Editions, offers comfort and durability. It features a folding clasp for secure closure. The rubber straps, available in black or grey depending on the model, are also equipped with folding clasps.
The Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date is now part of Omega’s permanent collection and available in stores. The price for the model on a steel mesh bracelet is EUR 7,100, while models on rubber straps are priced at EUR 6,500. The watch on the rubber strap is thus 400 euros more expensive compared to the Seamaster Diver 300M with date.
