Just bought my first Omega (upgrade from my TAG Auquracer). Bought the seaweed green Seamaster 300. The difference in quality over the TAG is amazing, yet price wise not a million miles different. TAG was always loosing time. Two weeks in and this Omega hasn’t lost a second. Had to move to bigger house to be able to accommodate the wonderfully huge wooden box it comes in 😊

I can easily say that aquaracer 200 is running time perfect, never had complain. But people like us , our eyes always will be on seamaster 300 , and one day we will get it 😊. To be honest i will use my aquarecer 200 with blue faded screen for everyday. Seamaster 300 is better than rolex for be, i would wear it in every special unforgettable days. Enjoy you watch dear friend ❤

The box is yet another thing that Omega does better than Rolex. The green faux leather doesn't really exude quality. But i guess it's their thing now so why change 🤷‍♂️

Interesting new video, but I prefer the sleaker "300" toolwatch version, awaiting the " Seamaster Only " reference guide focusing on all the Seamaster toolwatches ! We fear that the HeV Helium valve toothpaste cap at 10 o'clock must hit & hurt the forearm bone near the left wrist ?! Large 42 mm & huge 45 mm watches for James Bond, while Britsh author Ian Fleming wrote about a subtle 36 mm Explorer 1016 gentleman's wrist watch. Then again "De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum" .

After many years of deliberation I bought the model (steel bracelet, black face) you reviewed here, and I'm totally happy. What a beautiful, iconic piece of craftmanship. Wearing it right now.

My dad just gave me his seamaster 300. He brought it in 2003. He has just retired from work and moved from UK to Spain and gave it to me as a leaving present. I’ve never seen what all the fuss was about, but I wore it today and now I get it and have fallen in love with it. Great review

I own a Seamaster and love the look of the bracelet! To me, it’s much nicer than the Submariner bracelet!

Totally agree nicer than submariner, and not less quality

Did not realise I was in a minority, but I absolutely adore the Seamaster bracelet. In fact, I can't think of a better looking bracelet, and I always prefer bracelets to straps. The new Milanese bracelet is nice too, but not as original - that's why I like it, but don't love it.

This review appeared in my "notifications" and here I am. Very good production of a clearly presented review. Also interesting for the "extra" tidbits of information. As far as the 300? I love the ceramic dial on these, and the detailing of the face/hands. That 10 O'Clock "wart" kills it for me though! Thanks for the well put together presentation.

This is probably the best review of the Seamaster I've ever seen. Great job 👍

I LOVE the look of the iconic bond bracelet.. it’s an integral part of the watch.. you can identify it without looking at the dial! Great review BtW

This is a great review. I love the format and the shots you've taken. Great work!

"Anyone who buys a Rolex to impress someone, isn't very impressive." These are words of wisdom, indeed. Gosh, she became your ex?

Wonderful, articulate, honest review, beautifully photographed and narrated.. I love the fact that the watch you own has the scratches that demonsrtate daily wear and actual use.

The best value in luxury watches. By far. I LOVE the bracelet. I wish my Speedy had the same bracelet...

as someone with not much interest in luxury watches I know I'll never buy, I must say this was a really interesting video on the history of this watch and the movement. gained newfound appreciation for the seamaster

Excellent review of the Seamaster combining beautiful videography and great dialogue.

Hands-down, the best watch review I have ever seen ! Thank you

First time I heard about George Daniels. This channel is so good, what a welcome change from all the mainstream channels saying so much and yet so little about Omega!

A superb review of a beautiful watch and I particularly liked the historical aspect. I sold on my first quartz Seamaster about 10 years ago. However, I've recently purchased the green on a rubber strap Seamaster 300M. It's accurate to 1 second a day and comfortable on the wrist. Great for an automatic movement. This one's a keeper. Please keep up the interesting content.

It took so long before you uploaded again, mate. But this one video is amazing as always.

The Seamaster 300 Pro just moved to the top grail spot on my list. I’ve been a fan a long time, but your review solidified it! Great review. Thank you 🙏🏻

One of the reasons I love the hands is I can actually read the date when the minutes hand is over the date window.

I think Omega just has to stick to their designs aesthetically and they’ll be fine, during the quartz crisis they switched up their designs so much that it hurt their sales. People want watches that stand the test of time in the movement and the look. Omega definitely has the movement, and I believe they’re headed to having the look. The Speedmaster obviously already does but their diver watches are just now getting there. The diver 300m has stayed the same for 30 years or so, the planet ocean gives a nod to the past Seamaster’s, and obviously the Seamaster 300 does as well. And if they can just slim down the case with that co-axial escapement inside!

Bought the exact one in 2020 and will always keep it in my collection. Great content, thank you!

One of the best reviews on KZread. This will be my next buy

That was one of the best reviews ever. Definitely leaning towards adding a black dial Omega Sea master to my collection. It is really starting to grow on me👍

Do it. I bought mine recently and it was love at first sight.

I have two Seamasters. One has gold bezel & the gold trim in five-piece band. Both are quartz & enjoy the carefree worry of wondering if it stopped or not. Very nice video.

This is a fantastic video. I am so torn between the green dial vs the two tone option. Both are nearly perfect in my eyes.

One of the best review of this watch I have ever seen.

One of the best reviews of this watch! Well done sir!

to think i was considering trading mine. This video reminded me why I loved it in the first place. To add to your insight on the bracelet, I don't believe it's the style that people don't like but rather the overall weight. At least that is why I did not like it. Aesthetically I think it is stunning. To resolve the weight issue, I put a Forstner oyster-style bracelet specifically designed for the SMP300 and it completely changed the wrist wearing experience for the better. Thanks for sharing.

A very excellent quality review. As a fellow Canadian, I find your narration is very clear with the right tempo to make for a relaxing experience.. eh? 🤣. I will subscribe to your channel. By the way, you have an outstanding watch with the same actual accuracy of the Seiko Spring Drive!

Great video love the history and background about the brand and the movement. Love your work just wish you released videos with greater frequency. No doubt a great watch but for me personally it's just too busy. Between the wavy dial, those hands the helium escape valve and the scalloped bezel it's just too much. Less is more IMO. I really wish that Omega would release a retro version of the SM 300 with the sword hands like you showed in this video. In my opinion that's the best looking SM300 ever released. I agree with you about everything you said regarding the Rolex.

Impressive 👍 When I put my perfectly preserved 1968 Seamaster on a timegrapher I understand why quartz got that scary. That wave pattern reminds me of the ESQ watches, it shouldn't but it still does.

Nicely done! I love my white SMP300, although there are times I wish it were a wee bit thinner and lighter.

Brilliant video mate. This is one of my grails. It out performs Rolex and is a great, comfortable timepiece

I actually just tried one on for the first time recently. It has now jumped to the top of my grail list. And yes I love the bracelet. Traditional oyster style is a bit boring. I’ve always liked something busier like a jubilee or beads of rice. This bracelet gives some bling, is a tad busy and is original.

Picked up this watch in blue a week ago, I like the bracelet and the HEV doesn’t bother me, the accuracy is 0.3 seconds per day, I really like this watch, it’s worth the $$$.

Awesome review ! I love the omega seamaster 300 and i am planning to take it as soon as possible. I love it in blue dial but as well as in black. I can’t decide. But i am sure that any of the colours will make me very happy. Especially that will be my first omega watch and i love watches generally. I would love a Rolex as well but let’s be honest .. is hard to buy one at retail and i think as VALUE for the money … omega easy wins ! Is a masterpiece and the quality is the same as a submariner ! Thank you for your amazing video ❤

Glad you liked the video! In my experience, people are still impressed by luxury watches even though they may pretend not to be. But Rolex are a bit unique in that respect. When I did the Invicta Pro Diver review (looks like a vintage Submariner) and the Pagani GMT review (looks like a Rolex GMT) I got tons of passive-aggressive comments like, “Someday maybe you’ll be able to buy a real Rolex Submariner” or “This watch is for people who can’t afford a Rolex.” Also comments like, “I bought this but someday I’ll own the real one.” It’s a bizarre, distinctly Rolex thing where people have an intense desire to own a submariner someday, both hate and admire others for being able to own one now, and dislike people who they think are taking “shortcuts” to owning one. They assumed I was buying the watch to “pretend” it’s a Rolex rather than just being a nice-looking reliable watch at a great price.

This review was spectacular, 10/10

From any angle this is a stunning timepiece

Smart purchase, as usual. Enjoy your watch!

I'm glad I have Omega Seamaster, my first collection, bought 3weeks ago

Love the clean interrupted crystal allowing me to see the beautiful dial and markers without the "cyclops" of the Submariner..

The movement is fantastic, better than a Rolex. Good review and a nice watch. Personally, I've never liked the style of that model, but I am odd, because I haven't liked the Submariner since they added the Mercedes hand either 😁

Great video. Doubt I'd ever be able to afford such a watch, but it's still fascinating information.

Bought this beauty today. Awesome watch

The reason I got into watches is because of the Omega Seamaster as seen in the Bond films (and yes I'm a big Bond fan). Only reason why I won't purchase the Omega Seamaster is not only because of price but because the 42mm case diameter is too big for my skinny wrist 😅

Love the video and have this watch (on the rubber strap). It’s the reason I’m selling all of my other watches - which never get any wrist time anymore, sadly.

Thanks for the video. It was really good. With all the due respect, I will point out one mistake. You call the watch Omega Seamaster 300. The watch is an Omega Seamaster 300M. The Seamaster 300 is a completely different watch.

This is a great review; thanks for making this video! Love my Omega Seamaster 300m!

Hey. Great video but that not the divers extension. Drivers extension is actually just behind the micro adjustments. Can you push down on the top of the bracelet near the buckle and it extends out about 3/4 of an inch

Thanks for the Bond spoilers, haven't watched "No time to die" yet 😭. Great video though 🙂.

What a refreshingly informative vid.

this the best review of this watch I ever seen , I love your video and I own this watch it is amazing

Excellent review. Thank you.

As someone who is, or has been scuba certified I would dive with an Omega Seamaster 300 Series model without a second thought

The beautiful 2018 Omega seamaster 300 is the best watch I ever purchased. Your paying big money for the name Rolex, but when it comes to quality and sheer engineering, this watch is amazing.

Fantastic video. Thank you!

The micro adjustment you showed is not the diver extension. That clips out from the clasp of the bracelet.

Excellent review 👏

Seiko has a boring lume but kinda clear, the only one whom I saw utilising minute hand with different lume colour from the other places on the watch aside Omega is Citizen

Omega paid to be apart of James Bond. Rolex never paid for the endorsement. Sean Connery once said you buy an Omega if you can’t afford a Rolex.

@WondersofWatchdom

10 ай бұрын

Connery chose to wear a Rolex in the first James film (in addition to a Gruen) because Fleming himself wore one and adored it as a high quality tool watch. If you look at a closeup of all the early Rolexes in Bond films, including Roger Moore’s submariner in The Man with the Golden Gun, they all have one thing in common - they’re completely beaten up and the crystals have multiple scratches. Love it! Sadly, in recent years the submariner has become the quintessential snob troll watch, purchased by people who would never dare use it as a tool watch. I’ve never seen that Sean Connery quote: do you have a link?

I love it I bought the same watch but on the silicon strap

Agree with everything you said. I have a blue one. Best watch I own, hands down. I wear it 5/7 days. Goes with everything

I think the reason they keep the minute hand green so that it matches the green dot at the top of the bezel so that it's easily distinguishable if you're setting your bezel for a certain amount of minutes. Easier to see how close the green minute hand is to the green dot when you're diving?

Great review! I own this watch in blue and the quartz "Goldeneye" 300m. I also own a new 41mm Rolex Submariner. I have to say, I disagree on a couple of things: I'm one of the people who does love the look of the bracelet! Also, the lume is better on the Submariner in my experience (although i have the newest kne so maybe ut was updated). I also think that the 300m is much more aesthetically pleasing than the Submariner - it has so much better finiahing and detail and has a symetrical dial with the date window at 6 o'clock (of course, its subjective). Also, i think alot of people would recognise the 300m, ive had people confuse my older 300m for a Rolex before 😂 IMO, if they made this watcch in 40/41mm, made it 1mm thinner and made the helium escape valve smaller like the first generation of the 300m it would be almost perfect. They could also smoothen the bracelet a bit more like the older models, the modern version's brcaelet is quite "sharp".

Excellent review!

I purchased the blue Diver 300 m two months ago and am happy with it, but the Lum on the hands could be improved.

Awesome video. Thank you

Yay a new wonders of watchdom video 👍

Alaways a good review good job and I hope you will enjoy =)))

As a Seamaster 300 collector (I have limited edition 50 years James Bond Anniversary, Black black, blue with blue rubber, japan2020 olympic edition, and james bond no time to die edition) I have to agree to most all review in this video...he just missing the amount of happines, confidence and pride by wearing this collection 👍👍👍

I have the same one you got and it keep perfect time with my mobile.

Who does not agree with the looks of the bracelet..? This is a classic, an icon the most awarded design watch. The same question would be, if there are people who don't like how the Mona Lisa is smiling at you..! She smiles like she does, live with it, don't question it....!!

Nothing beats Seiko lume. Tested both over the years. Plus, Seiko is popular without superstars and Hollywood movies.

Best watch I ever owned. Period.

Very professional 👍

Bracelet is amazing, micro adjustment great, just far too heavy. The quality of the watch is superior to the Submariner, the seamaster is more aesthetically pleasing, however the sub does work better on it's bracelet and has it's own qualities. I love both. The Omega for sure is much better value.
