Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
Bigger, stealthier, and – wonderful to relate – without a date.

My favourite Seamaster. Shame about the price.

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
It does look good.
The things that would put me off are the price, size (43.5mm) and I'm still not a massive fan of the 10 o'clock HEV on Seamasters (although that alone wouldn't necessarily prevent me from buying one).
I'm also not sure if the wave pattern is now too pronounced, would have to be seen in the metal (ceramic/Ti) to judge.

The hands kill it for me. Just don’t feel like I’m getting full value for money with bits missing!

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
Not a fan of the skeleton hands or the scalloped bezel and I do prefer a date window as well....and at that price I'd expect a bracelet as well as a rubber strap...

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
You should post a picture of the back of this beauty. Not quite as good looking as a C7 Apex but a real stunner. Would I buy one? Well I like titanium watches, I like the new Seamaster (and own one) I like the black dial, back is stunning... Oh dear I'm going to have to give the credit card to the wife to stop me buying one. Only negatives are "no date" and possibly size.

From the Hodinkee article:
" With the 42mm model in the range in stainless steel on a rubber strap coming in at just $4,750, the Seamaster Diver 300M is one of the best value propositions in all of modern watchmaking. A thoroughly tested, highly water-resistant, chronometer-rated, amagnetic sports watch with ceramic bezel that will set you back less than $5,000 is really hard to argue with"
I think they may have mixed up Christopher Ward and Omega.....and just put in Omega's prices!! (respecting the amagnetic piece of course)
That said, I like most of the watch, exceptions being the hands and the price.

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
With the exception of one design aspect it looks ok, although too big. Size aside it looks the best version of the new Seamasters.
Mind you they all suffer from the pointless sticky out HEV carbuncle.
Price is of course a joke. But then again not sure anyone, who knows which way is up, would pay anywhere near RRP for any Omega (except the occasional LE Speedy).

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
That's the price for the standard 300M. If you read it carefully (that paragraph is constructed quite badly I think) you'll see the author is taking about the standard 42mm model with ceramic bezel, not the 43.5mm ceramic case with titanium bits model.Viognier wrote: ↑Wed Jan 23, 2019 4:39 pm From the Hodinkee article:

Read further down the article and you find the price for this ceramic one...
Lets take the opportunity to admire the backside though!Price: $8,100
Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
I do like admiring a nice backside.
Lovely version of the new Seamaster but way too expensive for me and too big also.
Yesterday I was comparing pictures of the outgoing model against the new standard model as both are available at great prices in London. The previous version actually looked at bit dated to me alongside the new release.

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
I have a previous generation and a new generation Seamaster. The new generation is definitely a step forward. Of the old generation I have a blue one but am starting to think that the black one might look better after all. I'll post some pictures of the new one over the weekend.

Please would you do side by side also for comparison even if they are different colours.

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
Personally I’m not a fan of the new version although it has more tech than previous models. I much prefer Gary’s ‘electric blue’ or here’s mine in titanium for a fraction of the cost.

Re: Introducing The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M In Ceramic And Titanium
I wanted to post in praise of this watch. I think it is a genuine GADA watch and could easily be the only watch in my collection.
I play golf in this watch (it’s shockproof to a force equivalent of 5000g), I was swimming in it (300m WR), cycling (it’s pretty robust on the rubber strap, large ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, predominantly brushed case so few polished surfaces to scratch). It’s antimagnetic to 15,000 gauss (a Millgauss 1,000 gauss by comparison).
Being a Master Chronometer, the watch is very accurate (I wore it on holiday Sunday to Wednesday, didn’t wear a watch Thursday and Friday as painting a bathroom and kitchen and when I picked it up this morning it was still running from Wednesday evening and is only -2s now for nearly a full week. I just checked the PR and it’s meant to be rated 55 hours however it was probably 60 since I last wore the watch so seemingly better than spec.
Yes this watch isn’t cheap at £4,140 list although you will probably be able to get a £500 discount easily enough. If you have that sort of money to spend on a watch then for that money I think this is a major bargain when you look other watches in that price range.
On top of all the above I think it is a great looking watch. Anyway apologies for rambling on, old photo of item in question:
