Announced in 2019 this Omega Seamaster is made entirely of ceramic and titanium. With Omega having a selection of ceramic Speedmasters in their Dark Side Of The Moon collection, it was only a matter of time before the ceramic technology was moved into their Seamaster line. The ceramic Diver 300m is slightly larger than the regular stainless steel references at 43.5mm. It's a brave move by Omega...

    Great presentation SWG, appreciate the no nonsense honest humble funny overview, was nodding my head in agreement the whole time. Become quite a Rolex fan in the last year myself since having had issues with a virtually new Omega, which was always my main brand. I've added a few coronets to the small collection and in my experience it's true what is said about them, they're some of the best watches available, regardless of price, the quality palpable as soon as you have one in your hands. They are perfect machines and works of art all at once. I recently bought a 226570 black dial and would never have thought of getting a white dial watch. I saw one of these on a client though and it was so understated and elegant that it's become the next horological goal and looking for the right one now. Traveling with the larger black dial model, especially on the steel bracelet, made me a bit self conscious (bought it while on holiday in Europe). Now home in the US and having it on a great Zealande rubber strap, post customary matting of the shiny bits by a local watchmaker, and it's much more under the radar but still I think the 40mm polar model will be even more travel-able and understated (could be a Tag as far as most civilians would think). And it's true SWG, that cyclops that I never liked either, really gets lost against the white dial. Thanks again SWG for mirroring a lot of my thoughts as well as this little preoccupation:)

Mainly because the bracelet is off clasp for me and it doesn’t look as good as the photoshopped version shots too :)
