yep, do I love it? No. Do I want it? Probably not. Is it cool? Most definitely. Once again, no one is forcing anyone to buy the watch so I have no issues with it. Often, in a modern highly commercialized world, the uniqueness and icon of a product is more important that the function or even looks. For a modern luxury mechanical watch, that is especially important as things such as METAS certification are not enough to persuade customers to make a purchase decision in this highly competitive market. There is a reason why every Speedy and Submariner looks the same as the previous one

Picked up my white dial seamaster yesterday. Had been waiting months for it to be released and it was worth the wait. Went in the shop yesterday just to try it on and ended up taking the plunge. Absolute stunning watch and quality is second to none, very happy indeed. Will wear it out for the first time today, can't wait haha

black dial 2018 version owner. Very easy choice for me. Wears smaller than other 42's. I am normally a 36 to 40mm guy but this wears easy and looks great.

this chap has nailed the reasons why you should get this watch. i have the white dial at its stunning.

Long live the new Seamaster.

Your dispassionate approach, to a subject many are passionate about, is commendable. Cheers for another fine presentation.

Such a well made video. All of your points are spot on. The skeletonized hands as you say take up the negative space and adds to it's character. The HE valve also adds to it's character. Mine fits beautifully on my 7 inch wrists. I have to say the Seamaster 300M is the diver that will define this century not the Submariner.

Thank you for the comment, man. I think all of the elements they've included adds to the package (and removing what made the 90's piece so iconic would be a mistake) As for the watch being the end-all defining watch of the century, it is hard to tell. The Sub and the Seamaster are two different animals (both are very historically significant without a doubt)

I think this watch will be a wicked seller for Omega. Its gorgeous.

The current Seamaster 300 is truly a watch that you have to try on. It is a large watch, yet the lug configuration and bracelet allow it to sit quite well on a 177mm wrist. It definitely draws you in, especially the blue dial. Waiting for the opportunity to try on the 'Great White' and decide from there. It may not be an investment watch, but it can be a passion watch.

Rubber strap is a must!

I have to disagree about the 42mm being too big, and the 13.5mm depth being too thick. (I have a Tag at 41mm and 12mm thick, and it feels on the small size. I am not even a large wristed person.) Once you own a larger watch, and I do, 41mm is nothing. Also once you get used to looking at this watch, the He valve disappears. When I think back to the original first version of the Seamaster Pro, I thought the He valve stuck out. In time it vanished, and was nothing more than another gorgeous stainless steel adornment.

Another cool video from a designers perspective. Thank you. Cheers and keep them coming!

Perfect review, well done. Just purchased the white dial on a bracelet and picked up the rubber strap a few days after. Truly a versatile watch and my Breitling rarely gets wrist time anymore.

Great review. I actually really like the hands, I think they are part of the character of the watch. Less keen on the escape valve, but it is also part of its character, so I can appreciate why Omega stick with it. I have often seen owners commenting that u kind of don't really notice it once u start wearing your Seamaster on a regular basis anyway. I love the Great White, the Bond blue and the silver dial. I would really struggle to decide which one I would buy as I think they all look awesome for different reasons..

Bought this watch a couple of months ago, worth mentioning is the precise timekeeping. Plus 0.25 sec/day, incredible for a mechanical watch. Just love it.

Own the Panda, getting the Great White. Great review, as usual, my man...

Anothr great video focussing on design elements you see and point out for us mere mortals. After watching this video a few times I went into my local dealer specifically to look at this watch. The one I was struck by was the gray wavy dial version. Not as much pop as the great white but still a strong contrast. As I looked at it more and more, it struck me as almost the perfect dressy sports watch. I especially like the contrast between the dial and the bezel. The hands being blue that I thought was also a wonderful touch. On my wrist, 42 mm is perfect. I love the bracelet, again adding some dressiness to the piece.

Got my 25th anniversary one in Blue. Love it! btw, the fact it's 42mm is a major reason I bought it.

Nice review. Really like my black 300M 2018, keeper for sure. Looks really great on steel bracelet as well as leather strap. Skeleton hands actually gives it a nice look, though may not be the best for true divers, which I am not. I wear it on my ~15cm and is perfect for me, not the only 42mm in my collection.

One thing that I've noticed that I haven't seen anyone mention is that the rhodium plated silver/white gold indices just has a shimmer that I haven't seen on any other timepiece. Whatever the material being used has the ability to reflect light as if it were a gem. You can see the twinkle of colors that are in a rainbow. It's absolutely gorgeous. My Tudor black bay definitely doesn't do that.

Omega have shown Rolex for what they really are, a company who thrive on their name, selling the likes of the sub way over priced for what you get. Omega Seamaster 300m is amazing value for your money and a much better watch both in looks, style and movement. This year the Seamaster 300m has gone up in price by £400 in line via demand though the customer will have no problem getting the watch from Omega. This watch is quickly becoming the wearable dive watch to buy, even Bond Movies see style and roughness since Brosnan up to today's latest releases. Not buying this may be something you will regret some day, as I'm not surprised if this becomes a classic.

Great white model is stunning

I enjoyed this content but I bought the prior version without the waves .. I enjoy a cleaner and slightly smaller watch.

Top rate review. That white dial one looks so smart. Maybe my next purchase,

I recently got really into watches, and the He release valve turned me off at first. But the more I see this watch, the more I like it, it gives it a unique character that makes it stand out from any other dive watch. And the white wave dial looks so nice! Still need to see one in person, but I might have to get one of these.

It would be good to hear more from you about the design of the new Diver 300M Chronograph version, and the merits of the bi-compax dial layout versus the 3-subdial Speedmaster and Daytona. Actually you could do a whole episode on the wide range of chronograph dial layouts. Thanks as always for an interesting and thoughtful video.

I own the Great White version and love it. And agree that it would be the perfect watch if it were 40mm. The Great White has a similar vibe to my 40mm Rolex Explorer II 16570 polar dial, which I probably wear at least twice as much as my 300M. If the Omega were 40mm, it would wear better on my (very average) 7-1/4 inch wrist and would probably replace the 16570 as my “go to” watch.

Well said.. Thanks for sharing.

I just purchased the great white SMP. The helium escape valve is ok for me design-wise. The main problem I have with it is that is snags my wrist hairs. I wasn't expecting this but the machining is generally sharp on this watch, and the HEV has particularly sharp corners. Otherwise, the watch is fantastic. It's been running at 0 s/d on the wrist w/o precautions of any kind on my part as far as leaving it resting in one position or another. Phenomenal.

That white dial😍

Fantastic review! Question: is rubber strap durable to avoid losing your watch one day?

I have the white dial on a rubber strap, sexiest watch ever. Nothing looks quite like it, not even other SMPs 😂 and it goes well with suits, casual even just underwear. So beautiful

Beautiful watch.

I bought the last plain black dial with ceramic bevel , I looking at getting the new white dial with black rubber straps , although I have to say I would prefer silver hands on the watch instead of black , I think it would give it a softer look .

I know I'm in a minority, but I love that the watch is 42mm. I have a huge wrist and won't rock anything smaller than 40mm as it looks ridiculous on me. .

The ‘Bond’ Seamaster has truly made a positive impact on the watch enthusiasts community. I know people who have owned them, traded them in to buy a Submariner and are now buying the Seamaster again as they tell me it is the most comfortable watch that they have worn. The strap options offered by Omega really should send signals to Rolex that they should offer different strap options on their watches too but, we are talking about the stubborn, ultra conservative Rolex here so, that is highly unlikely. The ‘Great White’ looks like a lovely dial option and I’m sure that it will appeal to many who can’t obtain a ‘Polar Explorer II’. I look forward to seeing one myself.

It also deserves to be said that the Seamaster line goes back a long way prior to the original Bond watch of the 1990s. Some of the early Seamasters were actually dress watches - which is part of why the original Bond watch, in carving out a new niche as the “dressy diver,” made so much sense. And then there’s the history that stretches back to the military watches that Omega made during WWII. There’s at least as much backstory to the Seamaster as there is to the Speedmaster moon watch.

Good morning and excuse me but I have a question for you. In you opinion is better the Seamster Trilogy 1957 (6,5k Euro) or the Seamster 300m white (4,2k Euro)? It's my first diver and my second watch, I'm so excited but is the present for my 43 years old. Thanks for your attention...

One of the best analysis of this watch comparing and contrasting the design in relation with its early history. Just getting ready to get the blue one on steel. IMO the movement is surpassing the Rolex submariner. I don't wait at least a year and pay twice as much for the Rolex. Rolex is the best marketing company in Swiss watches but-their business practice like the diamond industry creates scarcity on supply to raise its demand.

@gpearce11

4 жыл бұрын

Watch Aficionado I agree. Many dismiss the SM300M compared to the Sub simply because they think 42mm is just too big, compared to 40mm (especially on their inevitably small wrists). There’s only two issues with that. Firstly, a larger dive watch makes sense, as it’s a tool watch, and legibility is key, extra size (so long as it’s not too big lug-to-lug) is a thing. More importantly, people that automatically dismiss the SM compared to the Sub based on size ignore that the lug-to-lug dimension is actually SMALLER than the Sub, especially when including the bracelet endlinks, and is better for smaller wrists as a result.

Well it is true that some just do not have the wrist for it. They should offer two sizes maybe. I personally have also no issue with 42mm for men, it is the same as the Speedy. There is also a large uni-sex market, as seen on the 36mm success from Rolex. The small lady sizes are total out of fashion for most. If a watch has 36 to 38mm, I can be sure my wife occasionally wears it, too. But as a functional "tool" and sports watch for men, I personally like the 42mm.

ID Guy, great video as always. I would be genuinely intrigued to see you do a video about the Apple Watch. I own one - I only ever wear it when working out - but there are many things about the design that really bug me and I’d be intrigued to see what your thoughts are too.

I love Omega watches, but sadly I can't afford one without of course selling one of my kidneys... Absolutely stunning watches by Omega and of course without the Rolex price tag!

I can see the attraction of that white dialled version for a different look. It’s got a similar colour scheme to the ceramic Daytona with its black ceramic bezel, brilliant white face and red script. It has a slightly antiseptic look however as does the Daytona. When everything is finished to a highly polished shine there’s a touch of the robotic going on. The size is OK with me as 42mm is in my wheelhouse. The helium escape value should be less prominent or get that wart taken off altogether. And the panda dial should have had contrasting hour markers in black ceramic like the bezel. It’s always going to be the ‘poor mans Sub’ in some eyes. Not mine. I have both. Nothing wrong with this iteration. And it’s plenty bang for the buck.

How do you guys feel this white dial will age?

Great video, thanks. Nail on the head when you said the older generation have not aged well, they look naff rather than classic. I suspect the same will happen to this watch, it will look dated within a few years. I also question this link up with James Bond. I'm a James Bond fan but can't understand the tie up with a fictional character, I find it makes me cringe whenever I see a shot of JB flashing the watch. The JB link, for me, is one of the reasons why I would probably NOT buy the watch. I also can't stand the SS bracelet. I can't explain why but it just doesn't look like it belongs in 2021 but has no classic/vintage aesthetic nod either. Seems to be in a design no mans land.

Modern Dive watch is a dive computer, it’s a myth that serious divers use expensive watches to time their dives.

I liked everything about this watch, except the non-functional skeleton hands at night. A dive Watch with a HELIUM ESCAPE valve but unreadable in the dark?? Quite an irony there. I tried and failed to tolerate those hands. Couldn’t do it. I flipped mine.

Andreas T I shouldn’t use the word “hate”. Yes, there are just too many models in the Seamaster category, and fortunately they didn’t make a quartz movement which some watchmakers made and that’s terrible.

Agree with the most you say about the design and proportions and go back to a smaller case around 40-41 mm. But my subjective thoughts about the problem is the hands with skeleton design and that minimise the lume experience and the readability experience of position of the perception of time. I was so close to choose this nice watch but I need to find another one with more prominent hands but not so airy or wait.. one more personal view thought is that the dial is too prominent bling in a design perspective for some users and me..

Patrik Palo You should consider the Planet Ocean although it is a thicker watch.

The Seamaster has that gimmick feel to it. If it was thinner, had a tapered bracelet and better knurling on the bezel I'd buy one.

Wearing my great white while watching this video

I fell in love with the blue SMP when I was a child and always wanted to own one. When I had the money they could not fit the older version to my wrist as adding or removing one link made the watch either too loose or tight. I was devastated. The possibility to microadjust on the new version is a blessing and huge improvement. Now I own both the new Diver 300M and the SubC NoDate. Though I am biased towards the SMP I must still admit: The Sub is dressier, wears slimmer while the new SMP in my opinion is just too bulky. When holding and touching the two watches you can feel the higher quality of the Rolex (probably due to 904L), the bezel and its action are much smoother on the Rolex as well as is the crown action. The Sub I got also keeps time better (less than +1sec a day) and has the much better resale value. As much as I love the geeky approach of Omega, the wave dial, the display caseback and the bracelet, the Sub is the better overall watch especially for a one watch collection. Omega releases way too many limited editions, carries the James Bond franchise to excess, messes up the collection and always falls short regarding important details. They overdo things or do fall short. The new SMP also might end up being a fashion watch which will outdate. Simply frustrating. On the other hand Rolex does what it does very well and its product management is second to none.

Hello mate. The new seamaster bracelet has a simple to use micro adjustment on the clasp. Think it would be almost impossible not to get one of the new ones to fit

Great video once again but the author clearly spoke as someone who never had the transitional model and could not appreciate the subtle joys the model brings. For many of us it remains the best Seamaster to date. Cheers.

Good video but I think that the submariner has more wrist presence. Even without the Rolex logo the submariner is a great watch. Everything is good on that watch. This very well executed Seamaster is a lot of bang for the buck and it has strong appeal, but it has also a few flaws imho. Allthough the size is great and for a diver a good size, the watch is too shiny for a tool watch imho. There is too much polished and shiny finishing on this watch. The dial should be more mat finished imho and the helium escape valve is not great. The shape is wrong. I am not a big fan of the bracelet. It is not a bracelet for a tool watch. I looks more a bracelet for a dressy sports watch imho. Overall a very good watch but I prefer the Seamaster 300 that could be a killer watch without the polished center links on the bracelet.

2230.50 best reference ever.. 2254 with white bezel and indices 👍

I always thought the Seamaster Diver 300 was pretty ugly, but the refresh is seriously amazing.

Watchmakers should design watches like this new Seamaster, including Omega themselves. Something different that we can only buy from them.

I only don't like the bracelet. It's big and chunky. I prefer the rubber strap
