Probably the most comprehensive review of the latest Omega Seamaster that I have seen - well done and thank you, Oleg.

My favorite watch since it was released. Love Bond and Omega and this watch is perfect. Just wish I could afford it

I instantly fell in love with this watch. Everything about it is perfect to me. Thanks so much for sharing!

I've been waiting for this since your post on instagram!!! Awesome

Great review. It's a fantastic piece.

Nice review

Great watch and great video!

I got to try this on with the nato strap and the colors are insanely beautiful. I agree - the colors are chocolatey and rich, and It doesn’t come across as fauxtina like the BB58. Interesting point about the writing on the dial. On my latest model blue dial you hardly see some of the text! Unfortunately 2020 isn’t a $9k seamaster kind of year...maybe 2021??

Absolutely loved this watch the first time I saw it, I don’t see faux patina at all the creamy colour matches the dark brown tropical dial. Also I never liked the wave dial pattern on the other versions. Personally for the price I think omega could at least supply the nato strap as well. First class review my friend 👍

I really like the new color pattern for the NATO strap that debuted for this new model, got an aftermarket imitation one for my Seiko Samurai Save the Ocean, complements it very well

As a child of the 1970s and 80s, Roger Moore is my favorite James Bond which might be why I am such a fan of vintage digital quartz Seikos.

As a child of the 80s, Sean Connery is and will remain the best Bond ever. Even though I didn’t grow up with his 007 movies release

I love this watch and I am going to have it on my wrist very soon😎

Great review, I must say that I love this watch, superb....less text on the dial would be an improvement as would drilled lugs....other than that I consider it to be perfect....⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Awesome watch, you were right on your assessment regarding the arrow on the watch, it’s called a Broad arrow and was produced for Britain’s Ministry of Defense...watches with that arrow at that time were considered British Government Property...

I have several of my watches on mesh bracelets.I find them very comfortable and much lighter than the usual modern bracelets that are very chunky and heavy.

The arrow on the dial at 6' is called the " broad arrow" and is a symbol applied to most of the gear issued to military personal by the british ministry of defense. Not particularly related to special forces, present on many watches issued during WW2.

Just bought it yesterday with both Titanium and Nato straps.

One's favorite Bond is the Bond of one's era: the first Bond movie I have seen was "The Spy who Loved Me", and for this reason my ideal Bond is Sir Roger.

You're on to something there!! My fave is Brosnan. And my favourite Batman is Keaton. No question!

It looks like you have the updated version of the mesh bracelet with the thicker end bars and clasp ends. Apparently the first screen accurate version of the bracelet broke at these points.

The arrow is added for any military equipment in the UK

Those mesh straps are very popular with the Vostok watches.

The movie, here in US, was supposed to release Nov.2019 or Dec. Through corporate decisions, it was decided to April 2020 release. Then Covid.

This movie will never be realesed

Surprised for the cost they kept straight end links on the mesh strap. I think it would look better with curved end links.

Favorite Bond is Brosnan. Favorite movie is GoldenEye. Bought the watch last week - they even took 1k off since I paid cash. Love my Pams and my Ennebi but fell in love with this watch a while ago. The mesh strap is just epic. Also the Omega AD always treated me with respect every time I went to look. Rolex always treated me like crap. Thinking of getting an extra strap from the AD and then getting a used 42 mm seamaster to wear more often since I really don't want to wear this watch too much.

The other Swatch group companies have been doing mesh for a few years but Omega did it best with this IMO

Really love it but not sure I would pay double the money for one though. Besides my favourite Omega is the Aqua Terra although I did like the previous generation rifle barrel dial with the 007 second counterweight. It think I agree with you on Pearce although Daniel gives him a good run for his money.

A real masterpiece . Timeless. I am not a big fan of mesh bracelets, bad experience. I think it would look better with brush steel/ titanium . Despite of above it is one of the most beautiful watches l ever saw. And 👍 for marvellous presentation.

The bezel is titanium however the bezle insert is aluminium. This (aluminium and not ceramic) is so that it will fade together with the dial which is also aluminium. This aluminium is treated to be much tougher than normal aluminium usedin watches.

The videos and images do not do it justice. It's so much more beautiful in person.

Nice well made replica watch, great video by the way as always keep it up!👍🏼

This guy, Wow! When other watch reviewers are featuring cheap copies, I am not the least bit surprised that you show us the real deal.

Goldeneye was my first. I'm a Brosnan guy too

I like this version as it's not too blingey like the regular SMP300. For more functionality, it would be better with full broad arrow, non-skeletonized hands.

The bracelet looks cool and the clasp well engineerd, but I think the clasp makes the milanese too thick. What is your opinion on this? Btw I really enjoy your videos.

I like the watch, my only beef with it, it has No date. They should have added that feature in the watch, in my opinion. Thank you Matt 😀👍

one brill watch i really love it just the price puts me off from buying it....

The broad arrow is for the British MOD and designates it as government property. Although this isn’t true for this watch

Yes, and one might argue it is not too wise to wear that on your wrist if you are supposed to be a secret agent lol

I love that it's no date but the shade of the faux lume kills it for me. Your 2531.80 is the best "Bond" watch (and Seamaster Pro for that matter) ever, the Spectre SM300 is second.

Just perfection. Love it 👍🏻👍🏻 Edit the "broad arrow" is also known as the "crow's foot" & has been used on British Government/military property since the middle ages.

I love this version. Even with the heavy brown lume. However, the "Spectre" version from the movie with the same name is still my favorite modern Bond watch.

Agreed. Love this one and took me a while to accept the change in strap from the famous wave strap, but the Spectre is like a suave, experienced Agent dressed in black, on a mission, while this one is like an ex military dont-fuck-with-me agent

I have the Seamaster ceramic wave dial. The 42mm is too big. Too bad they don’t make them smaller.

Imo the NTTD SMP is the best Bond themed and up there as the best SMP - though I beleive the original Goldeneye was the best SMP model if that makes sense. The size and aluminum bezel are PERFECT on the first version

Love Sean connery.

Where is the date?

Bezel action is incorrect. They should have looked at hamtun. I have owned 3 hamtun titanium divers and the ygot progressively better over time. the newest h2 kraken is the best because its done properly with a 60 click ball bearing mechanism instead of the cheaper ratcheting spring. Mine is superb and tight with no pack play. I love the domed saphire crystal, oris do it with the 65 diver. The arrow signifies uk military issue. 007 George Lazenby.

i am really thinking of getting this one! i am waiting for an explorer now already for 9 months, and i have the feeling this is going nowhere (down at 2 ads). this is the other sporty watch that i really do like. might get it in the summer if the explorer is going nowhere (and yes, i do understand that the explorer and the 007 semeaster are very different watches, from materials to functionality).

Max Otto von Shtirlitz. However, the suitable watch should be an unlikely collaboration between Glashutte Original and Vostok Komandirskie :-)

Yes with a suit Bond is seen in 3 movies wearing the AQUA TERRA. The Real Go Any Where Do Anything Watch. The Behind the Scenes Hero.

Sean Connery was always my James Bond, but Daniel Craig’s rejuvenation of the franchise with Casino Royale has made me switch to him as my favorite.

I would love to own one, especially this newest one coming. Maybe I can rob my local gas station or something?

"Mr Bond gets royalties", rotfl hilarious

wrist size?

As much as I love the look of this and the color way, it does seem a bit crazy to be double the price, but that lumed bezel is a amazing. Great review as always. Companies like Smiths and now I see Omega are using that arrow, which is a bit of a fraud, since this was an official symbol of the British military and as much as we love Bond, he isn’t actually a member of the British armed forces

@defrev

Not a fraud. The British MOD gave Omega special permission to use it (Broad Arrow Pheon) due to their very long relationship with Omega (including during actual wars), and their mutually beneficial relationship with the Bond movie franchise. The MOD obviously thought the watch was worthy of it.

Being an Irish man my favourite Bond should be Pierce Brosnan (yep he’s an Irish Bond... check we’re I was bone 😊) But that mil-sub that sean connery wore ...nope he’s my Bone 😊

I looked at one of these in the AD yesterday, it’s a lovely watch and I’m seriously considering adding it to my collection! 🤔 How is the mesh bracelet? It’s it an arm hair catcher? They only had the nato strap in the AD.

The bracelet doesn't bother me in term of hair catching. With over 5 months of daily wear it's only done it a few times, so likely the same as any watch strap

NOT a fan of the mesh, I’m picking up NATO strap version today. This watch will be highly sought after production stops with Bond 26, whenever that comes out.

I think Omega is trying to upscale their watches. They know many are ticked off with Rolex not being able to get what they want in sports models without having to jump through hoops like buying jewelry and other stuff from the AD they don't really want in order for them to sell a watch to you and it could take years. I have not looked in quite some time as I don't have money to buy nice watches right now. I remember seeing some of the older seamasters probably from the late 1990's going for 2000 USD and to me, they look very similar. It is hard to say my favorite James Bond. I liked them all. Sean Connery I would say is up there as I was young he was the James bond as well as Roger Moore. All of them were great actors in my opinion.

If I could (& I like the design) I don't know if I would be what is essentially merchandise (& paying for the privilege to advertise). It'd be cool to get a nod from Bond fans, but...Also, saw the Spectre watch on a car showroom agent's wrist. Nice chap, but it didn't look as impressive as I thought ( I prefer my Vostock scuba dude ( so does my bank manager)) .

I can’t be the only one to think the straight bars on the strap ruin this, right?

The bezel is actually made of aluminum. Not titanium

Is it just me or that bezel has a lot of play in it?

Second!

The arrow on the dial means: British Gov Property/Issue.

Bond was snoring at the end 😴 🤣

This watch almost resembles the Tudor black bay 58....

Royalties 😂. Woof!

Sorry I couldn't pay attention, Mr Bond is too cute

Class watch..but what do you mean James Bond is fictional???

No one will top Sean Connery IMO. May he RIP.

Wow ! I just checked the pricing, on the 300 diver,on my go to pre-owned site,and the 300 diver,which I've owned for about 3,or 4, months,is selling for a few hundred dollars more pre-owned, than I payed new,grey market. The truth is,I'm not overly impressed with my watch as a dive tool. I live on my sailboat ,and dive frequently . The lum is poor,and nonexistent on the bezel. I have a 40 year old Seiko Turtle 6309-7049, I got in 1984,and a Tag Aqua -Racer, quartz, that I'm not fond of,but are better dive watches. Guess I'll give it to my son,and get another Seiko, since I'm 60,I figure, if I last another 15 years, it'll serve me better for my lifestyle. I've always admired Omega, but this watch, the 300 diver,sorta like the Specter version, doesn't live up to my requirements. Still a nice watch, but it's a beast. Capt.Bob, SV 27th Chance, Tampa Fl.

Sean Connery always

The arrow is called the 'broad arrow' (or 'crow's foot) and dates back to King Richard III in the 1300's, but is most known as a marking used by the British Government by numerous departments over time, particularly the Ministry of defence. Its use on this Omega is somewhat 'faux' and would actually put me off buying it, personally.

My favourite Bond has to be the late great Sir Sean Connery.Mr. Bond obviously doesn't like the new format on the sofa,because after listening to you for fifteen minutes,he doesn't get any treats...............................

This watch is A1 superb, I feel like throwing a suit on n grabbing my desert eagle (gel shooting) pistol and rehearsing scenes from casino Royale. Haha 🤣. Owned it just over 6mths and my wife still hasn't seen me wearing it. (My mistress)

It’s an amazing I c beautiful watch, but it’s not worth it’s price at all.

The Spectre is way better. You can't upstage The Seamaster 300. 🤩 This one has too much false patina. It ruins all of it. This could have been more subtle.

To me it's just another cheesy Bond watch. I own the PO2500C 45.5, same as the one Daniel Craig wore in the 2006 film Casino Royale. Not a single mention of Bond or MOD on the watch, then again I bought it in 2005. I like mine because I find it beautiful not because it was featured in the movie. The moment you write anything related to Bond on a watch, it's not cool anymore. it's trying too hard. A watch should be self sufficient. Not need for a fictitious character on it.

Not a fan! For me it’s Omega trying too hard in yet another novelty! Clearly they understand the growing interest in vintage military watches - hence the faux patina (yuk!) and the crows foot (why would a secret agent wear openly a military issue watch????!!!) - going titanium (Pelagos is the clear winner in titanium dive watches!) and a mesh bracelet (cue Breitling Heritage) really teally turns me off (but then i dive with a REAL British military issue dive watch - the CWC SBS which also have natural patina!)

Daniel Craig

Mr. Bond does not get any royalties. As he is a British secret service asset, the royalties go directly to the government.

Shame it's so big

I tried to like it because It's an Omega, but it's so ugly
