Great job Andrei. The music fits so well. My wife just gifted me the green Seamaster 300m and I love it. She said it reminds her of the watch I wore when we met - a beat-up green diver I bought half a world away on deployment with the US Navy.

Love love love! I recently tried on a green Seamaster (on bracelet) in a store. Perfect colour, simply amazing in person. Enjoy 😃
This isn’t a KZread video; it’s a short film, and a beautiful one at that.
Years of viewing watch reviews, how is it I just found this channel. Watches are an art form, but this man is an artist, watching his videos are utmost soothing but sophisticated. I'd actually pay to watch this. What a tremendous appreciation and approach he has taken. As a collector I find his videos very poetical. Get this man a job as a brand ambassador!!!
Thank you for your personal story. I think many of us have similar life stories that are part of our watch hobby

Hi Andrei. I found your channel through the BB54 video and I’ve got to say mate, your video’s are some of the best watch related content on KZread. I’ve got a similar story with the Seamaster. After having owned many different watches, the newest model 300m now stands as my only watch (bar an F-91W Casio). Growing up and getting to the stage where I’m about to get into the housing market meant I had to downsize and after weeks of consideration the watch that made sense to keep was the Seamaster, and having it as a one piece has only made me appreciate it all the more. Like I say loving the videos and unique format you’ve got going here, keep it up my friend! All the best, Josh

I've subscribed to your channel for two and a half years and always enjoyed the content but this video is the best yet. The filming is exceptional, with background music to match but it is the narrative that resonates so much, taking us through the journey of owning, selling, regretting and re-purchasing the Seamaster. The Seamaster is a wonderful watch (I have six!) but the final words of this video really sum up the beauty of watch ownership, with it being a witness on the wrist, marking moments and special occasions. All of the watches special to me, have a connection to some of life's journeys and that is what the joy of watch ownership is really all about! Keep up the great work.

This is such a nice video. I would not normally be interested in a recent mechanical watch but this one is special. I completely understand your attachment to it. In 1970, I decided the Omega Flightmaster was what I most wanted and when I was finally able to afford an old used one in the 80s, I never longed for anything else. (Needless to say, I no longer think a dozen years is a long time!)

I just became aware of your channel within the past year or so and have thoroughly enjoyed every video I’ve seen, but I must tell you that this video is absolutely incredible! Your reviews are always honest and without bias. I have often wondered if you were from a military background due to the very focused and concise details of your reviews. You include everything relevant and informative while excluding everything that isn’t. I so appreciate your format. I always look forward to videos. Very well done! 🥃 I love everything about the Omega you featured except for one thing…. Those skeletonized hands! I would a thousand times rather they used the sword style hands for example. So much more readable at a glance, especially in low light environments. They would allow so much available surface for lume applications.

As for the hands, they are a bit too complex for the watch, I agree. I think a simplified version of them would be more relevant for the next generation.

A beautiful video, and a beautiful story. Thank you kindly for sharing this part of your journey in such a personal way. "Its a witness on our wrist, telling stories and marking moments..." I couldn't agree more. For me this is particularly true for my own Seamaster 300M as well (I have the "black bond" quartz model). I've always felt drawn to the Omega Seamaster for its Naval connection, robustness and style. This watch has been to hell and back with me, so I have some idea how you might feel about yours. I'm very happy you were able to be reunited with yours as it has been such a part of your journey. As you've alluded to, at some point these timepieces become more then the sum of their parts. Thank you again! p.s. you've outdone yourself with the cinematography in this video! Amazing!

I was trying a green SMP300 about a week ago. A beautiful watch, but it just felt to big for me. For the reference my wrist is 17cm (6 3/4”). I was surprised how flat it appears in person. The only downside apart from the size was the bezel action. Scalloped SMP300 is hard to operate, at least to me. While I’m figuring out what my next watch could be I decided to get my current watches serviced and enjoy them on new straps. I own a Marathon GSAR 41mm automatic and a Seiko SARB035.

What an exceptional piece of work, well done! Such a personal and accurate account of a great watch and your relationship with it. Perceptive and true, with regard to the SMP, but also our path in life more generally. Great editing and visuals too - I can only imagine how good a location that might be for spearfishing and free diving! May I ask where it is - generally if its a secret spot! As for the SMP itself, I've never owned one (really the only diver of note I haven't), although the green model does tempt me. While I find the overall design striking, I find it too busy and over detailed (which you allude to) - less is more, Omega! But, my friend that was a great vid and while the watch might have gained some scars away from you, its sale has been worthwhile from a viewer's perspective!

I have been looking at the Submariner with date..but haven’t pulled the trigger to purchase. It just isn’t that appealing IMO compared to the SeaMaster 300. If the Submariner prices continue to drop, I may buy one. If I don’t, I’m buying a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser.

thank you! you are right, the bezel action should be improved. I am really curious if the latest versions come with a better bezel rotation.
The best at it’s price point. Three years ago i sat at my chair and thought, must i take a SMP300M or a Planet Ocean? I dive not that deep that i need 600 meters, just some swimming and under the shower, so the choice was clear, a SMP300M. I had also a few divers in mind from IWC, UN, Tissot, and Ball. It was confusing, so Omega brought me zen. Not all was fine, but i have a weak spot for imperfections, i am not perfect either, so i can not imagine a better dive watch than a SMP300M. Nor Rolex, nor Longines, nor Blancpain, nor any outside Omega can beat a Omega. My favorite detail, the crazy knob at 10 hour that’s known as the helium escape valve.
