I bought one today for my 50th birthday it’s my first expensive watch. I wanted a Rolex sub but couldn’t get one, on the plus side I can afford to go on a nice trip with the money I saved. I bought the blue one.
I bought a blue smp300 when it first released at the end of 2018. Since then I’ve also acquired a black bay 58, a datejust 41 on jubilee, and a 41mm submariner. I still find myself wearing the smp300 the most, especially after putting it on an Aqua terra rubber strap. The details on the dial are just phenomenal. Incredible watch and the best in my collection IMO.
@@sshah2545 yes, and I make sure to take a photo of it with the steering wheel in the frame so that all online will know that I am a man with enough disposable income to afford these goods.
Had mine for a couple of years now and wear it almost everyday. Its an awesome watch with so many layers of interest and I hope you'll continue to enjoy it for some time to come. Keep up the great content!
I didn’t know that I wanted this watch until I had it in my hands. I thought I hated the skeleton hands, ended up loving them. I thought I hated the bracelet, actually love it. I wear it tighter like you said. There is definitely something special about this watch and I’m really interested to see how it holds up over time.
@@fendushi I wear it fairly snug and have had no issue with sharp edges. I think it’s very comfortable for all day wear. I think the fact that the bracelet doesn’t taper throws some people off. But for me that issue is only aesthetic bc I don’t find it affects the way the watch wears. It’s a fairly thick 42 mm watch so some may find it beefy but for me it’s great. The clasp is great too. Large but very well made.
I have this watch and have found the bracelet to be extremely comfortable. The clasp actually balances the weight of the watch quite will. My Rolex bracelets, while tapered, are only comfortable because the watch itself is lighter. I may buy a silicone Omega strap for the summer but, the bracelet is so beautiful that I hate the idea of swapping it out for a strap.
Hi Adrian, i'am glad you mentioned the non tapering of the braclet, most reviewers don't mention this, I've always thought a braclet looks more elegant, and more comfortable at the clasp end being narrower due to this, It would be nice to see Omega do this in the future.
Such a good, positive video. Also lovely shots of the Seamaster. Soooo much better than maybe a shorter or perhaps more "hot take" type video could be!
@@jollyrob blub? lol Criticism and honest reviews are great when done properly and thoroughly. This vid was thorough, that’s good and much more like Adrian’s usual standard.
The white dial is not a new feature. I got a Seamaster in June 2000 and it has the white dial. It looks so much better in white. And recently I changed the second hand with a special James Bond second hand that has a red 007 gun logo. Looks even better now.
Got this watch in this colour about 4 months ago for exactly the same reasons you did. I needed a watch to take me through life, get some scratches and come with me anywhere without me having to think about it. That's what it's all about
I'm aware that I am pretty late to comment but just wanted to make two points here - 1) this is an awesome video. The content is great as always, but what makes this video stand out is fact that the 'scenery', i.e. the color of the table, of the wall, even Adrian's outfit, and the font of the description perfectly match the design and color palette of this watch. Pretty subtle, but very well done. Kudos! 2) I believe this iteration of the Seamaster is sufficiently compelling to pull me over. Normally, I abhor decorative designs, details that are not functional, and fancy styling without functional background. But there is something about this watch that seems to make it sober and exuberant at the same time ... whoever designed this - great job!
Another point to the Omega, you just wear it! Everyone who has a MacBook knows how the screen gets glue to the keyboard when you close the laptop.... I put yesterday a stainless steel glass on top and it just glued itself to the laptop it's incredible how much of a magnet it is!!! But the Seamaster it just can take it all day long!
My blue face seamaster is 22 years old, my daily, has been diving etc. just did my first service, polished and looks as new. This watch is a tank. Value for dollar nothing touches it.
Great video! Just got this watch today (white dial, bracelet -- but ordered a rubber strap for a beach trip this summer). Absolutely love the watch. Was concerned about the bracelet after watching this and a few videos, but honestly once I had it adjusted to fit my wrist it's great (taper or no taper). Droops a bit as I like (you as well), but no discomfort with the clasp, etc. What an amazing watch, unique design, build quality, and more. Way to go Omega!
I wrote a comment on your initial thoughts of this watch. You’re spot on in my opinion. Ever since I’ve gotten this watch I’ve worn it every day (8 months or so). I’ve spent roughly half the time on bracelet and half on nato. This thing looks good on anything. Enjoy.
Glad you mentioned the bezel lume! No one else seems to complain about the lack of it on high end watches. The Pelagos some Blancpains are the only luxury watches I can think of that have it. Otherwise it's seems to be mainly micro brand thing
This is my first watch and it's a great one. My wife (then girlfriend) bought it for me as an engagement gift. It was extremely sweet of her, this is a watch i will hold on to and wearing in good health for the rest of my life.
I must say-- your B roll in this video is absolutely fantastic! It is a testament to the quality of the watch and the quality of your content. First time viewer and I'm very impressed. The SeaMaster is an incredibly beautiful piece and I'm looking forward to the day that I can own one. Thank you for the video.
You are making me want this watch soooo much!! The shots on this video are a step up, you really outdid yourself, the light and composition, so well done... hat is off to you Adrian :)
I had this watch with the black dial and yellow gold accents, absolutely loved it. The only reason I sold it was to purchase a speedmaster racing. It has the Metas certified 9900 movement which is very similar but with a chronograph. Omega's master chronometer movements are I think some of the best in the industry. And everytime I look at maybe getting a rolex, or Panerai, or even another Omega... I look at this watch and think that I probably wont get anything better for a very long time. I take this thing mountain biking, wear it all day, to the gym, you name it. I just don't swim with it but I could if I were so inclined. Great video of your white dialed version!
I've had the black dial version of this for 2 years and I just learned from your video that it has a diver's extension. This is going to be so useful on all of my deep sea dives that I'm always doing.
Agreed. Only con of this great video, no mention of the rubber. I bought mine on bracelet but also bought the rubber, purely awesome. I love to switch from one to another
I used to own the blue Seamaster 300M and I also found the bracelet to be extremely uncomfortable and often so painful to wear that I'd end up putting the watch in my pocket! - I ended up wearing it on a rubber strap most of the time. I think yours would look amazing on a black RubberB. That white dial is stunning!
I own the same watch...purchased on a rubber strap...absolutely love it...my other watches haven’t made it out of the watch box since I picked this one up...incredible video...strong work Adrian!
Very nice watch with impressive specifications. Nice video Adrian, which I enjoyed watching. It’s apparent that you put a ton of work into this production. It definitely shows. Great job!...Ed
Awesome video! As ever great photography. I’ve had my eye on this watch for a while and may pull the trigger. Don’t worry about the haters in your Zenith Chronomaster video. Personally, I prefer the Zenith over the Daytona but everyone is entitled to their opinion and it won’t stop me enjoying your channel 👍
Great review Adrian! I just got this for my 40th birthday and absolutely love it! I softened up those rough edges on the clasp area with a burgeon stick and now is very comfortable. Also looks amazing on Zealande black rubber strap that I had got to go along with it. Very happy I decided to go with the white dial instead of my usuall black choice.
Wonderful video. I've recently bought the Seamaster with the Grey dial. Absolutely love it, and wouldn't change a thing about it. Haven't taken it off yet. My TAG and Seiko will still get rotation, but not just yet.
Was so tempted to get the Omega 300 back when they were £3,600 ... now I can't get over the price increase ... should of pressed thr trigger back on the release date.. great video as always
I really love the look of this watch. If they ever make a 38 or 39mm version I will be all over it. The have made midsize seamasters in the past, so hopefully one will come eventually
Unlikely the will make that size anytime soon. They did make a 36 but in reality it wore small. The key here is the lug to lug had it been 48 it would have had the desired effect
Thanks for this review, bought the white face and the original blue for this watch!!! Although i love the classic bond blue colored face for this watch the white dial does make it stand out more!! Thanks for the nato strap recommendation!
Hey Adrian, your review convinced me to pull the financial plug and get this exact watch…and I love it. I got it on the bracelet and separately purchased the black strap (which tapers and has an absolutely gorgeous buckle…I know, I’m geeking out about a buckle) and the strap is a meticulously designed work of art which highlights the lines of the case. But you probably have heard this already from lots of people. Thanks so much for your work. You’ve taught me a lot (and cost me a lot of money)!
Wow on the photography, just wow! Excellent content and I really like that you waited till almost the last bit to plug your straps and shop 😜. Awesome video and always great content. We do not always agree, I always want to hear your opinion. I think you should do. A video where you scout the market on aftermarket tapering bracelets for this Seamaster. Maybe uncleSeiko, maybe strapcode etc... Could be interesting for both of us.
Great review! I just picked this watch up today and I love it. I’ve owners a dozen different Seamaster’s and Planet Ocean’s and I love them. The Bond 2531.80 was my first luxury watch.
Great video as usual ❤️ I bought the Nekton Edition Seamaster, love it the most and also loved the clasp .. actually the clasp is what made me keep the bracelet although I have the original rubber strap 😎 this watch has a strong character and an amazing price tag
I’ve got an Omega Seamaster from 2001. Just realised its now two decades old. Man, how time flies by. Never wear it these days but it’s still a decent watch. The technology in that time has gone in an insane upwards trajectory. I wonder where it’ll all be in 20 years time? Or will the reign of the mechanical luxury watch be a thing of the past?
Great upload! Awesome photography! Great review to a great watch! I own the blue dial version but it was a real toss up between this white dial and my blue. Now I’m wondering if I chose the right one. 1st world problems I guess! The movement is pure class!
Adrain is back to top form, looks great production and shots I must admit I would love a no date version too That movement for the money is amazing VFM
I own this exact watch, and have been wearing it everyday since I got it. I also hate the bracelet, so replaced it with a rubber strap. I also don't like how noisy the movement is-- the rotor is unbelievably loud. Other than these two gripes, this is an absolutely phenomenal watch.
I picked up the same the watch as well, love the bracelet on my 8inch wrist. I love the audible rotor as well but that may be the engineer in me. To each is own...cheers.
@@StayOnIt the clasp alone is so nicely engineered that I wanted to keep it on the metal bracelet. But 182 grams was getting a little too much for daily wear-- had to make it lighter.
Farig Sadeque agree....love the clasp adjutments, but hate the weight and and the non taper. Its awful. Bought a few rubber and canvas options snd its now perfect.
I just bought the blue bezel with gray dial one for my dad's birthday after some months of documentation and online searching. But to hear your seal of approval on this choice at this price point...just....thank you! Cheers!
Great video as always. Nice to see a Rolex owner being nice about an omega. The SMP is a belter. I’m seriously considering another one in a different colour. By the way, there’s a bit of an art to fitting the bracelet. Hard to explain in text but it needs to be fitted with the clasp 2 notches off small. My AD sized mine on small but in warm weather the clasp moved too far on the wrist. Took a while to get it just right but now it’s bang on for both warm and cold weather.
I bought this with the blue dial just 4 days ago (12-17-2022). Bought it at an Omega boutique for $5400 (with tax $5845). It VERY difficult to see the "ZrO2" on the blue dial, although it looks easily visible on the white dial at @1:24. I needed a really bright light and a magnifying glass before I could see the ZrO2 on my blue dial. Actually it's hard to see on the white dial too as you can see @6:58. You can't tell by watching videos of this watch; The watch just sparkles when held in the light. It is so finely polished it just sparkles. I'm sure that will wear over time and not sparkle like it does new. A pretty watch. A great first buy luxury watch.
I was buying a new seamaster 300 yesterday but before buying it i called around to see if omega holds its value, i was told straight out by a few different pawn shops and high end jewelry stores they wont even take omega in for a loan, and would only offer me $1000 on a watch i would have paid over $5k for..... These omega ain’t worth shit after you buy them!!!!
@@rickyleroy7795 True to a point, but not entirely true...there is a market for certain Omegas. For example, my Apollo 11 50th Anniversary is worth thousands more than I paid for it and I paid full retail price. Look up the new Snoopy. It's tens of thousands of dollars over retail price. Also, if you get a standard Moonwatch at a good price you will be able to get something out of it. Same with the James Bond.
@@damachine3 the Apollo 50th is very nice! Wish i could get my hands on a new snoopy I’d hold it forever!!! And give it to my son one day... I’ve been talking to my local AD about a moon watch sapphire sandwich.. I might pull the trigger Sometime this year
Beautiful piece, just love Omega. My dad bought one in 1966 (a Constellation on bracelet, and which he still wears, and quasi as new) when we moved to Paris (when I was only 2), so I just grew up knowing “Omega”. I just spoiled myself again, tomorrow I receive the (my) 43.5mm 300 Ceramic on rubber, no date obviously and cozy up beside my AT 150 41.5mm. Keep the chin up, and keep putting out the quality vids we all in the community enjoy.
I really disliked the predecessors to this version, but the amount of things updated in this iteration is nothing short of legendary. Omega is crushing it. Given that the new Speedmaster has a tapering bracelet, I hope the next refresh of this Seamaster has one also.
I own a Pelagos and Explorer II. Just got this black/white watch. It is even better than I expected. It is totally in the daily rotation. I think the bracelet is great. I am a bigger guy though.
I love this video so much that i bought this beauty 3 years ago. It’s my favorite Video on your Channel and from time to time i enjoy it again. Like today, having my coffee, wearing my SMP300M and thinking about going for a ride later 🚲 …it’s like a favorite episode of the Simpsons, never gets old Take care

A camo Horus strap on that watch. Would look epic.
When my late father was 50 my late mother bought him a seamaster, so when I was 50 in 2019 I bought myself a seamaster, this seamaster .....
Great story! 👍
This is the way.
That’s a cool story 👍🏼 I got mine for my 50th to after looking at them in shop windows for 25 years.
I bought one today for my 50th birthday it’s my first expensive watch. I wanted a Rolex sub but couldn’t get one, on the plus side I can afford to go on a nice trip with the money I saved. I bought the blue one.
Me too..
I've been counting down the seconds until this release.
Thanks Corey 👍🏻
Were you plus or minus a few? ;D
@@elliotmarsh Nicely done
Counting coaxial-ly?
Happy you got to “bond” with your watch 😎
Hahaha
I bought a blue smp300 when it first released at the end of 2018. Since then I’ve also acquired a black bay 58, a datejust 41 on jubilee, and a 41mm submariner. I still find myself wearing the smp300 the most, especially after putting it on an Aqua terra rubber strap. The details on the dial are just phenomenal. Incredible watch and the best in my collection IMO.
How did you manage to put it on an Aqua Terra strap?
Do you wear it in your Porsche Carerra?
@@sshah2545 yes, and I make sure to take a photo of it with the steering wheel in the frame so that all online will know that I am a man with enough disposable income to afford these goods.
@@harsha_mnath with a curved spring bar, you can buy them from Amazon.
@@hobear637 lol, if you’re not being sarcastical, I’d believe it too. Nothing about that comment would surprise me
I’ve been waiting for this one and it didn’t disappoint. Great job, fantastic review!
Thanks a lot Ryan. This one was a massive project. But good fun.

Large but very well made.
Wasn’t a fan of skeleton hands but on the black wave dial theme it works! .. so I got one 😊
„This bracelet doesn’t taper!“
➡️Recommends NATOs that also don’t taper 😂
Haha. Very good point. But to be fair, nato straps are much more soft and flexible than the steel bracelet.
kinda obligatory since the guy sells Nato straps so he'd push hard for the straps regardless.
And on top he forgot to mention the rubber strap which tapers and makes the watch looks more nicer than a Nato
I have this watch and have found the bracelet to be extremely comfortable. The clasp actually balances the weight of the watch quite will. My Rolex bracelets, while tapered, are only comfortable because the watch itself is lighter. I may buy a silicone Omega strap for the summer but, the bracelet is so beautiful that I hate the idea of swapping it out for a strap.

This is some seriously good content. Keep up the fantastic work
Thanks a lot Kerr.
Amazing how different we feel about stuff. I love that strap fits like a glove. Every watch nut needs a sea master of some description
You sold it to me. Your passion, enthusiasm is infectious.

Thanks for watching Chris. And I have actually been looking for an after market bracelet. There really aren’t many about though.
Got mine today...white dial on a strap. LOVE IT
Congrats mate. 👍🏻
Great watch, great storyteller, the kind of man TH-cam was invented for! Congrats.
Great review! I just picked this watch up today and I love it. I’ve owners a dozen different Seamaster’s and Planet Ocean’s and I love them. The Bond 2531.80 was my first luxury watch.
Great video as usual ❤️ I bought the Nekton Edition Seamaster, love it the most and also loved the clasp .. actually the clasp is what made me keep the bracelet although I have the original rubber strap 😎 this watch has a strong character and an amazing price tag
The Seamaster 300M was a great watch when I bought one 16 years ago. It's on an entirely different level now.
I’ve got an Omega Seamaster from 2001. Just realised its now two decades old. Man, how time flies by. Never wear it these days but it’s still a decent watch. The technology in that time has gone in an insane upwards trajectory. I wonder where it’ll all be in 20 years time? Or will the reign of the mechanical luxury watch be a thing of the past?
I’m sure yours is better size though
Just Purchased this timepiece and I agree. Omega is killing it!
Thanks Adrian, great video. I can only confirm what you said because I have the same Seamaster only in blue. Stay safe mate. 👍🙏🙂
Great upload! Awesome photography! Great review to a great watch! I own the blue dial version but it was a real toss up between this white dial and my blue. Now I’m wondering if I chose the right one. 1st world problems I guess! The movement is pure class!
Thanks a lot for watching and glad you liked it. All seamaster are great. Such solid watches. 👍🏻
Omega is killing it. Great video, thanks for sharing.
cooler than oldman Rolexes
Nice one Adrian, I have this in black and absolutely love it. Got it for 3k at Heathrow a couple of years ago.. what a steal.
Adrain is back to top form, looks great production and shots I must admit I would love a no date version too That movement for the money is amazing VFM
been looking forward to this!! :P
I own this exact watch, and have been wearing it everyday since I got it. I also hate the bracelet, so replaced it with a rubber strap. I also don't like how noisy the movement is-- the rotor is unbelievably loud. Other than these two gripes, this is an absolutely phenomenal watch.
I picked up the same the watch as well, love the bracelet on my 8inch wrist. I love the audible rotor as well but that may be the engineer in me. To each is own...cheers.
@@StayOnIt the clasp alone is so nicely engineered that I wanted to keep it on the metal bracelet. But 182 grams was getting a little too much for daily wear-- had to make it lighter.
Farig Sadeque agree....love the clasp adjutments, but hate the weight and and the non taper. Its awful. Bought a few rubber and canvas options snd its now perfect.
I absolutely love my Seamaster 300m, but I agree with you about the bracelet. I wear it on the rubber strap, which is also incredibly comfortable.
😆 Finally the Omega seamaster vid's here!
Thanks 😊 Adrian classy review ✌️
Thanks a lot Dr. 👍🏻
I just bought the blue bezel with gray dial one for my dad's birthday after some months of documentation and online searching. But to hear your seal of approval on this choice at this price point...just....thank you! Cheers!
Great video as always. Nice to see a Rolex owner being nice about an omega. The SMP is a belter. I’m seriously considering another one in a different colour. By the way, there’s a bit of an art to fitting the bracelet. Hard to explain in text but it needs to be fitted with the clasp 2 notches off small. My AD sized mine on small but in warm weather the clasp moved too far on the wrist. Took a while to get it just right but now it’s bang on for both warm and cold weather.
This is the one I'm saving up for!
Hey! ...well done! ..and I even like the bracelet on my SMPolar .. greetings!
Beautiful watch that you can wear with a suit or swim with in the sea! Literally the coolest watch and the perfect travel companion
Fantastic video and I discovered a watch I never thought about adding to my collection
You best video ever!! Stunning macro! Stunning Omega 😁
Thanks so much. 👍🏻
I bought this with the blue dial just 4 days ago (12-17-2022). Bought it at an Omega boutique for $5400 (with tax $5845). It VERY difficult to see the "ZrO2" on the blue dial, although it looks easily visible on the white dial at @1:24. I needed a really bright light and a magnifying glass before I could see the ZrO2 on my blue dial. Actually it's hard to see on the white dial too as you can see @6:58. You can't tell by watching videos of this watch; The watch just sparkles when held in the light. It is so finely polished it just sparkles. I'm sure that will wear over time and not sparkle like it does new. A pretty watch. A great first buy luxury watch.
I have a massive Rolex collection but there is a feeling I get when I put on one of my Omegas that I simply can't get when I put on a Rolex.
Is it I probably won’t get mugged wearing this 😂
You are so brave to say so 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I was buying a new seamaster 300 yesterday but before buying it i called around to see if omega holds its value, i was told straight out by a few different pawn shops and high end jewelry stores they wont even take omega in for a loan, and would only offer me $1000 on a watch i would have paid over $5k for..... These omega ain’t worth shit after you buy them!!!!
@@rickyleroy7795 True to a point, but not entirely true...there is a market for certain Omegas. For example, my Apollo 11 50th Anniversary is worth thousands more than I paid for it and I paid full retail price. Look up the new Snoopy. It's tens of thousands of dollars over retail price. Also, if you get a standard Moonwatch at a good price you will be able to get something out of it. Same with the James Bond.
@@damachine3 the Apollo 50th is very nice! Wish i could get my hands on a new snoopy I’d hold it forever!!! And give it to my son one day... I’ve been talking to my local AD about a moon watch sapphire sandwich.. I might pull the trigger Sometime this year
Seamaster
Beautiful piece, just love Omega. My dad bought one in 1966 (a Constellation on bracelet, and which he still wears, and quasi as new) when we moved to Paris (when I was only 2), so I just grew up knowing “Omega”. I just spoiled myself again, tomorrow I receive the (my) 43.5mm 300 Ceramic on rubber, no date obviously and cozy up beside my AT 150 41.5mm. Keep the chin up, and keep putting out the quality vids we all in the community enjoy.
I really disliked the predecessors to this version, but the amount of things updated in this iteration is nothing short of legendary. Omega is crushing it. Given that the new Speedmaster has a tapering bracelet, I hope the next refresh of this Seamaster has one also.
I completely agree. The previous really didn’t excite me. But this one really does.
Wait’s over!!!
I own a Pelagos and Explorer II. Just got this black/white watch. It is even better than I expected. It is totally in the daily rotation. I think the bracelet is great. I am a bigger guy though.
Super review of a really lovely watch. That green nato looks great as well. Thanks Adrian.👍
Love the watch 👍🇺🇸......
Question : is it a "Keeper"..?
Thanks for watching mate. And yeah this is a keeper. 👍🏻
Perfect watch from the box! Have that watch with just the same colours!
Maybe the best video with the best shots! Amazing stuff! Amazing watch! Amazing channel!
Thanks so much Sebastian. 👍🏻
I love this video so much that i bought this beauty 3 years ago. It’s my favorite Video on your Channel and from time to time i enjoy it again. Like today, having my coffee, wearing my SMP300M and thinking about going for a ride later 🚲 …it’s like a favorite episode of the Simpsons, never gets old
Take care
Haven’t even watched it yet and already given it a thumbs up 😂
Haha. Thanks mate.
Great review! I now want one. Cheers!
Thanks for watching Christopher.
@@BarkandJack my pleasure! Great video as per usual!
I actually sent you a DM to your insta a few weeks ago. If you get chance to give it a read my user name is @wrightabouttime
Thanks mate.
Phenomenal shots, especially the underwater ones. Seeing a review from someone who’s actually worn it for a bit is the best review.
Brilliant as always Ade!!! Thanks for being their for us and helping us get through all this with great content. Very much appreciated.
Wore my sea master quartz (golden eye) to watch this video 😁
