Not often I sit all the way through a 35 minute KZread video, well done man! I've owned a couple dozen Seamaster's in my decade plus in this hobby. It's the watch that got me into watches, and probably the watch that keeps me interested in watches.

Just got my own Seamaster a few days ago I completely love it !! Already can tell I think it is going to stay in my collection for good

I also plan on making this my "exit watch". I've always wanted a Seamaster, and I feel like this latest iteration is probably the absolute best. I'm planning on buying this next year.

Right? I wanted this for so long I'm a bit stuck now: I have no other grail watches on the horizon. The only thing I can think of is to get a GMT someday, but I don't have a particular one in mind. This is a really solid "exit" watch for sure. BTW thanks for noting how you found this channel via this watch review on Whole Nuts and Donuts. You'll note I slightly repackaged it and posted here for those who follow this channel!

Good stuff man , just got my own Seamaster can def see it as a one watch collection and one of the best watches period. No faults with it at all

One of my finest watches in my collection. I’m a big fan of the co-axial movement. I think at this moment it’s the best movement made. Especially the Tourbillon version from Omega.

That’s great that you were able to get this for yourself. I’m some research on this watch before investing in it. Sounds like those who purchase it don’t regret it!

Love this review. Arguably one of the best on KZread.

I have the previous, non-wave black dial model from 2012-2018 and love it.

Great too

Great review! I’m considering the 43.5 mm version of the Seamaster 300m, which (to my preferance) lacks the date complication. I hate correcting non-chemists, but because you go by Dr. know-it-all, ZrO2 is called Zirconium Oxide. Easiest way to remember how to name such a chemical compound is if the first element is a metal, you don’t specify the number of oxygen. SiO2, on the other hand, is named silicon dioxide. The Japanese actually call SiO2, silicon oxide.

Amazing video thank you. I'm torn between the one you have (all steel) and the steel & gold version. Both look amazing

I just purchased the newest seamaster. This is my third seamaster. My first was the original Bond watch from early 90s and it was beautiful especially with the patin dial showing its age I also have the early 2000s version with the beautiful electric blue dial and sword hands which is for me better then my newer one except for the movement. Yes, the early 2000s sea master for me was perfect size and much more comfortable. I purchased the Grey dial newer version pre-owned from a jeweler friend very inexpensively but for my taste it is too blingy as a all arounder. I am considering replacing the blue bezel insert with a black bezel to make it more versatile. I don't know what Omega was thinking putting a blue bezel on a Grey dial even if blue is its corporate color. My feeling overall is that Omega is putting out way to many versions of the seamaster and especially the speedy and cheapening it.

It is a stunning watch. I bought one in blue a month or so ago and have zero regrets at all but I was torn between the black and the blue. Either choice would have been a good one. It definitely has some weight to it as you said, but it is not too much at all. It is extremely comfortable to wear. I agree about the position of the helium escape valve, but that being said it doesn’t bother me.

I just bought the blue one. I never wear cuffs as I dress casual at all times. I don't rely any lumed watch for night time as I have a few Luminox watches in my collection. I bought this watch for the overall looks and the movement which both are amazing.

I have owned my blue Seamaster for two and a half years and I love it. People notice it.

Hi, thanks for your review. I bought the same Seamaster two years ago and still love the watch each day. How about a update on this video after c.3years?

My wife bought me the blue dial with the blue rubber strap and I love it for when I’m dressed down. I plan on getting a steel 3 link bracelet in the future for versatility. I believe it’s a fabulous watch for the money, every bit as nice as a Sub. I do plan on getting a Rolex GMT rootbeer in the not to distant future. Rick

Great Video, some feedbacks; yes it is 316L stainless steel, and the seamaster has a chronograph version too. (25:15)

You got me immediately after seeing Watchmen in the back :D

Just make sure you’re using the right spring bars with aftermarket straps as incorrectly sized ones could damage the spring bar holes in the lugs or could cause spring bar failure leading to damage to or loss of watch.

I have the same watch in black.I love it 😊 amazing time piece

looked back behind me and saw a copy of the Watchmen, hell yeah!

You’re right, two changes that can make the watch better are: 22 mm lug width and the helium escape valve moved to the 4 o’clock side… Still, this is an awesome watch!

I'm with you on the reference number thing. I liked it much better when it was 2254.50 and such. I have this watch and instead of calling it by it's reference number, I call it by the movement number. Same thing with my Aqua Terra. My old 2254.50 and 2255.80 are much easier on my brain.

I recently picked up the white dial and it is a great piece. My problem is I also like the black dial.

That rubber strap looks great on the Omega.

If you wanted a tool watch, you should have considered a Tudor Pelagos. A "flashy" watch is to show off. A statement. Nothing wrong with it. It is a beautiful watch. Enjoy!

Mechanical watches and quartz cars!!!!!!!! Upvoted!!!!

I have my eye on the blue version (Because I'm a huge James Bond / Pierce Brosnan fan). Is there any reason you chose the black version? Black would probably age better in terms of style, and might be more versatile... But the blue just reminds me of the original Goldeneye Seamaster that I saw as a young man.

Is the dial too shiny? Looks almost mirror-like.

Good video. If I were going to pick the perfect watch for all scenarios, I'd choose the Rolex Submariner. Unlike your favor of the Omega D3 as the more stylish of the two, I find the beauty in the details of the Submariner to be the stylish choice here, but not by much however. So for dress ocassions the Submariner wins here, but again, not by much. All other categories are subjective. Your review was STYLISH however. 🙂

Where can I buy that band?

What's the rubber strap you are using here? I got my SMP300 last week, but the metal seems to be too heavy for me to pull it off as a daily driver. I am not a big fan of nato straps, so was looking for a good rubber strap.

I like this one a lot: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XPSFKQ7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The red stitching is a nice touch for matching with the red on the diver. Of course if you bought blue or another color, you might want a different choice. I agree the metal is a bit heavy--and scratch prone--for daily wear. I use it for special occasions. (FYI, I'm not an amazon affiliate. That's just where I happened to buy this strap)

You state that the HEV is “useless” on this watch. Why? I’ve heard this claim many times on several other “watch experts” KZread channels. I can’t help but believe that this is just purely a regurgitation from the other more popular KZread stars. Ironically, I have yet to come across a KZreadr who makes this claim and wears his or her watch for what Omega tested / stressed it for. So, my question to you is this. Do you use your Seamaster to dive with? Or is this more of a status symbol for you? Saying that the HEV is “useless” is a really bold claim to make on a $4.5k watch that has been tested to endure extreme measures. BTW, thank you for not calling it a “Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.” I cringe every time I hear a KZreadr say that.

Why are people trashing the bracelet?? Some ppl say its uncomfortable to wear, it cuts, etc...

The bezel is weirdly easier to grip with gloves.

This watch is a classic it leaves Rolex standing, Omega make the best quality and eyecandy watches in the luxury end of the market. Rolex are over priced for the mugs who want to pay their high prices just to have a crown on the face, and they know people are stupid enough to pay it if you leave them wanting.

That is one ugly strap. You should get the OEM black strap.

Oh my God man you can moan 4 times you said the watch was flashy or to flashy, flashy means attractive. Who wants ugly ,you just like to moan l feel sorry for your partner if you have one. Also Mr Critical if you know so much why don't you go design a better watch than Omega.
