I've had mine for 10 months of daily wear while hiking, camping, in the ocean, concerts, playing with kids, etc. The aluminum bezel everyone complains about has zero scratches or scuffs. Always amazes me reviewers talk about how this watch looks and feels military like, then in the same breath say they should use ceramic. The military would not use ceramic as a good strong hit would Crack it, unlike aluminum. I've has zero issues with being able to read the dial in any amount of light. The only scuffs I have are on the titanium buckle clasp from rock abrasion when hiking on rocks.

I’ve had mine for 9 months now and I’ve worn it every single day. I too was worried about the bulk of the strap clasp but in reality you just don’t notice it. Being ex-military the broad arrow has a personal meaning to me and makes the watch even more special. Seriously tempted to buy the 60th anniversary model as well now

Super nice review and video ! thank you for the share !

love this style

It's my favorite watch, just love it. Reading at low light is a bit difficult indeed as a reading glasses wearer. price is high but for that price you have something special and no asks if it is fake or real just like when wearing a Rolex.

Love this watch, so light and unique, ultimate Bond watch along with a Submariner ofc

Had this for a while - I love the lightness and the mesh bracelet is very comfortable - I have 8" wrists - apparently the strap can be had in different lengths. I like the colour but agree with your point that the hands would be better if solid as in low light, they blend in with the dial. Pleased with it and it keeps splendid time - Am considering getting lume put in the hands as not a watch I will be selling. The steel Seamaster is much heavier and thicker.

It’s gona be my first expensive watch

I really appreciate the design of this model and if it was around 5k it might have been an option.

Nice video and I agree on the hand set. Should be more legible. I also think it's quite big for a time only watch. I think Bond needs to be reminded of the date from time to time, and a gmt function as he jet sets around the world.

Thanks! And I thought the proportions worked well. I wouldn't want it any bigger though.

I really like this watch BUT for the price of $8000....I could get A LOT of watches for that amount...Christopher Wards, Seiko, Tissot, Alpina, Certina, Tudor Etc... Cool watch though. The Omega Seamaster Chronograph....is on my bucket list though!!!

Imagine this watch in 39mm

I don’t get why they don’t do multiple versions. 42mm to 39mm is a big enough gap to go after larger and smaller wrists.

Just make it 40mm

That’s the reason why I sold mine… 42 was too big for my 17 cm wrist

Such a cool watch.

Yes it is!

Great watch!

A great marketing exercise from Omega, and let's face it ,most of us Bond, but at nearly twice the price of the standard steel SM300 (forget the titanium for a moment) is a no for me. Enjoyed a good demo at my local AD recently and the skeleton hands have really poor legibility compared with the rest of the dial, especially in low light.

Definitely my favorite looking Seamaster 300M but it is too expensive.

The original bond watch is a submariner. It’s ironic that the case back of this watch has the date for Dr No, the first bond movie, in which Sean Connery wears a submariner.

What I love the most about this watch is that you can upgrade any watch to have that mesh bracelet for under $100 by buying a Staib or Vollmer mesh bracelet. Like they're not crazy expensive (although Omega probably charges an arm and a leg for theirs).

Isn’t the strap that Omega sells with the watch made by Staib? That would be egregious if it is true because the voice that is in the video claims that buying the watch without the strap that would’ve been made by Staib if it is true would remove one thousand dollars from the cost of the watch. It would also be difficult to believe for me because many people claim that the strap is of good quality, and you are claiming that it can be bought for less than a hundred dollars.

@@Emily-pd2hi Staib makes shark mesh for most of the high end watches as far as I am aware. They get custom items like the clasp that Omega had them produce but, at the end of the day, the big watch companies make a lot of money off selling bracelets and straps. Hirsch, for example, makes nicer leather straps than most of what’s on the high end watches but they cost a 10th the price in some cases.

Very beautiful.....

Not really fancy this watch, but the video itself is outstanding! Nice setups and b-rolls.

I think the clasp itself actually is trash on certain wrists.

Titanium costs way more to manufacture than steel. The intricacy of a Milanese mesh

the color is brown in reality, here it looks very different

Aluminium just trashed the watch big time , even cheapo copies have ceramic inserts ,

Why is there always lose coffee beans all over the table. You guys just leave coffee beans laying around…

You could do an entire video on all the typical watch backgrounds: coffee cups, coffee beans, pocket knives, obsolete antiques/tools, vintage camera gear, and those huge coins (doubloons?) with nautical themes on them that the edc folks love.

Fautina, fake military markings, toothpaste lid at 10 am, illegible hands, poor clasp position. You won't see that dog on my wrist. A hyped watch but lightyears from the sublime 165.014, 165.024, 2254, 2232, 2503...
