- It’s a bold claim to state that this, the Omega Seamaster Professional 300M 007 Edition is the greatest watch Omega has ever made, but I stand by it. Sure, the notion that the century-and-a-quarter old brand peaked in 2019 is hard to believe, but believe it you should. Here’s why.

Don't buy from this site. I bought a £8k Rolex and it had fake parts. The company refuses to rectify
Glad to see the understated "007" on the back was enough for Omega, and they didn't stick some gaudy, over-the-top little 007 toy figurine on the dial (yeah, I'm looking at you Audemars Piguet!).
Hehe Black Panther. Looks like a chinese kids marvel watch xD
@@dinonugget7114 it's horrendous. What TF were AP thinking?
@@sdemosi They basically didn't think xD. Pieces like that sell like hot cakes to rappers.
They could have gone with a classy Daniel Craig face covering the entire dial
The criticism for that watch is unfair imo. Would I buy it if I had the money? No. But AP makes 1 gaudy rididculous Invicta and everyone slanders AP. I applaud them for going against the grain and making everyone mad.
"Godspeed Omega, we're rooting for you..."
I second that.

Its about time
Nothing against Rolex but I just prefer the stuff that Omega puts out.
Plus you can actually buy them.
I feel the same way.
I admire both brands but Omega has a more diverse catalog
Funny, that's the exact opposite of how I feel with the two brands. I honestly would buy an Omega but I hate that they're just stamping out LEs. You call it "diversity", I call it laziness/muddling the brand.
For me, it’s exactly the other way around.
Owned this for over a year, and everytime I put it on... it just makes me smile.
May I know if it scratches? Thanks
@@servicedoffice +1
Tried one on. Still makes me warm inside whenever I think about it. Shame it's too large for me..
@@servicedoffice yes I’ve scratched the clasp on the strap when resting on a stone table

Omega should hire you for their marketing. The narrative of this video with historical references is absolutely awesome; a delight, perfect ! I love it.
This is another masterpiece. Omega’s output in the last 3/4 years has been outstanding. I’d take this over a Submariner any day of any week.
The Omegas are indeed beautiful watches, however, what watchmaker retains its value more? That's a Rolex
You could probably walk into an AD and buy an Omega without playing the waiting game shithousery Rolex are playing.
Rolex is a probably a better long term investment but at this point the Omega is a superior watch.
Have my doubts?..a masterpiece with that wart of an escape valve? which is wholly unnecessary for a dive watch rated at only 300 m…For those people who are part of the Rolex Troll scene then just get the Tudor Pelagos LHD at less than half the price
@@markpass4215 you know most people won’t ever get near 300m underwater right? If you are a serious diver, you wouldn’t get this anyway - you’re better off with a PloProf.
And it’s not about trolling Rolex?
While Omega make better watches; Rolex are the most successful and popular brand.
Somehow Omega combined a retro feel with tons of finesse filled with good technical aspects. It’s looks fantastic and wears like a cashmere sweater.
Omega should be applauded for having some fun with this piece.
They are a serious watch company that
doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
Just bought this piece from an Omega store in Spain. I'm pretty young and its my first luxury watch. I'm absolutely in love with it - and its a bonus that im a huge James Bond fan.
Enjoy !
My mannnn. I bought black, sedna gold-ceramic one 1 month ago at young age too. I'm feeling amazing
Congratulations sir. I wish this could be my first watch. Its on my phone wallpaper. Question: should we have purchase history with the AD to buy this watch?
@@naqibnazori Hey! I hope you have the privilege of owning it someday. I didn't have any history with Omega prior to my purchase. I think they do build a profile on you once you do purchase one. I was asked general questions about who I am and what I do.
you are rich LOL
For me, if you’re going to put the MoD triangle on the dial you have to go the whole way and fit the classic MilSpec sword hands.
Totally agree, but I'd go even further - I think it should have had the MilSpec dial too (which was, I think, last used on watches like ref. 2254.50 or 2255.80.)
Agreed!!! Sword hands > skeleton hands
@@j.burgess4459 2254 shits on this
Government Broad Arrow….
43 years ago these were standard issue and came through the stores I worked in as a teenager. They were termed “V&A” (valuable and attractive) and subjected to many checks and tracking. I’m just off to buy the Pagani Homage!
Love that "space race" reference with the Speedmaster having the "right stuff" comment. Always enjoy watching your videos and your adequately, smartly placed references and the puns. Great as always! 👍🏼
From the first time I saw this watch in an Omega boutique window, I had to hold myself back from finding a very large heavy, glass defeating object. It makes the Seamaster even more crave worthy. Now, all that being said, I would love to see the 50’s reissue in the Bond style. But, more for curiosity sake than trying to supplant this piece of wrist worn gorgeousness. I think it manages to look completely modern, as the Seamaster always does, while attaining a level of instant classic that leaves me speechless.
The Spectre model is the 50’s reissue for bond. fantastic too if you ask me
Omega makes watches. Rolex sells watches! As much as Rolex is hyped, I would take an Omega all day long!
How many Omegas do you have then?
@@alfieakaronaldog none, rolex all day
@@navarrolevel7 I’m looking forward to seeing the new Bond movie.

@@alfieakaronaldog ouch, you butt hurt?
@@justdaniel7995 I don’t thinks so, nothings hurting, but not sure what you mean by that.
AAANNNNNND you can actually buy them. no nonsense hype. its just you and the watch.
Don't buy from this site. I bought a £8k Rolex and it had fake parts. The company refuses to rectify
Bought my SMP 300M automatic chrono new in 1999. After 1 full service and the occasional service to make sure it’s waterproof it’s still going strong. Looks great and still one of the best bracelets ever made. It’s not my daily wearer but hits the rotation. Still love that watch.
Just bought this watch yesterday. Perfect timing!
Wear and enjoy your watch in good health 👍
What do you think of it so far?
Congrats!
@@urirendonownerpurebrokersl8099 The clasp on the bracelet is a bit bulky and the Aluminium bezel insert makes me a bit nervous. However, I cannot wait to look at the watch in 10-20 years. It is made to age with you in a graceful way and so it will only get better with time :D (on the NATO which costs a bit much extra tbh, it is supremely comfortable though)
@@asura2545 holy shit
Wonderful watch. I am always astonished at your presentations. The macro photography is brilliant and your commentary is well written and recorded. Congratulations!
Glad to see you cover this one. I've long been a fan of Seamasters, but this is the first one that I've seriously considered purchasing. Its stunning
Same here, i've kept my eyes on seamasters, especially this one, for a while until i pulled the trigger last month. I love everything about it. Go for it, you won't regret it at all.
The red highlight at the end of the second hand - always wondered why everyone didn’t do that.
Beautiful watch. Great review.
Although I am more drawn to the German and Japanese watchmaking - on offence to the Swiss intended - I have a soft spot for Omega. My father gifted me his old Seamaster Professional 1465/453 with a quartz movement, which he acquired with one of his first salaries he received during his time in the German armed forces in the 90‘s. As a consequence, it has scratches all over the bracelet, the bezel and there even some very minor marks on the sapphire crystal, because it was used as a tool. He handed it down to me this year and it has been on my wrist ever since.
The simplicity and tool-like aesthetic, combined with the rugged titanium case and shock-resistant, in-house movement reminds me of the watch I’m wearing as I type these lines. It‘s great to see Omega flourish once again and I hope that they can finally beat their nemesis, Rolex.
Did you say it has an in house movement after saying it was quartz????
Omega has quite the history, but, I find their modern stuff every bit as soul-less as most of Rolex, and, people can stick their noses in the air all they like, but, the elephant in the room will still be that they are way over-priced. I wish Omega stopped playing "keeping up with the Rolexes" and just did their own thing. The only modern Omega I have is a Seamaster Coax Master because of its retro design.
@@johnowens2270 I think he's referring to the 007 Omega.
@@rodazevedo5932 aww, you are most likely correct. Not clear.... but understandable
I also have a quartz Seamaster, a gift from my mum to my dad when he was just starting out his career. My mum saved up for a long time to buy it. It may not have the prestige of an automatic in-house movement but the sentimental value is irreplaceable.
Great video. I agree with all points. It was the reason I went from being more than happy with just my Deville to lusting over this so much that owning it was inevitable. Having had it for over a year now it has lost none of its appeal and I really think it stands out as something very special
"Godspeed Omega, we're rooting for you" 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
It looks like the love child of a Seamaster and a Tudor Black Bay.
Totally agree 👍
Amen!!!!
Now that you said it, I can’t unsee it…
Man you nailed it. Lol
This one caught my eye..and I had to buy it in march 2021. Wonderful piece. Glad to be " Bonded" to Omega.
Tried it on at my AD, since then I can't get it out of my head. I like the lightness of titanium and the looks of the mesh bracelet😍
So Omega did what Rolex has been trying to undo “killing it’s vintage patina watches by replacing its dials and destroying their values forever” kudos to Omega. This watch is the only omega I would own.
New Patina, like buying a new pair of blue jeans that are already faded and or have holes. The new submariners have better legibility in the dark. Patina lacks contrast.
Kills me without a date though! I have “the great white” version with the date. Love me some Omega!
I prefer without the date.
You changed the title from "The greatest Omega ever". Don't think I didn't notice Watchfinder
Adding Rolex to the title exponentially increases clicks/views lol
Live ctr stats gives makers insentives to do this kinda thing.
Gaming those algorithms ;-)
This watch is on my “to buy” list, along with the Submariner.
Great vid. Well shot, presented as usual. Love the way you narrate your messages. Enjoyable
I really enjoy how you present your view and opinions on watches, unafraid to be as blunt and incisive as you feel up to...
I love this watch and although initially, it was very hard to get it is available in display cases now (looking at you Rolex). I just can't get over how much more expensive it is compared to a regular Seamaster Professional 300M. It is nice but it is hard to swallow an extra 4000 dollars just for the watch to be finished differently and in titanium.
Yeah for real. 6k would be fair for the titanium and the fancy bracelet
Agreed, This is a great watch but the price between this version and the stainless steel model, it’s a bit of a head scratcher.
i love how a lot of people love this watch, for some reason for i still find a typical submariner more attractive in design. I dont understand the point skeleton hands with no inner indices.
It's titanium on a titanium bracelet...Omega sells a 43.5m SM300 on titanium w rubber strap for $8100
The price makes it “limited edition” to many and that is what I like. Everybody has the regular 300m… I like the SMP but don’t like mainstream, so the NTTD is a fantastic alternative for me.
Thanks for the video! I am not sure anybody has pointed this out yet but the Railmaster offers a smaller case with the same movement for a fraction of the price.
With Omega you always get more for less money than other swiss made watches. Beautiful piece. Omega the Eternal brand
If omega wants to beat Rolex just put people on waiting lists and intentionally lower production. Because people are like crews they always want what they can’t have.
Then there will just be less Omega's I don't think people will care that much.
Good one
Thats true.
If omega wants to beat rolex they should start by ditching the dumb james bond nonsense as well as the ugly fake patina. This very watch is a picture perfect definition of why they'll never be taken as seriously as rolex.
@@Dylan-xj8tb ha, boring.
This watch is very nice, however I see no justification for the price tag. Almost DOUBLE the money for a normal Diver 300M and you get a somewhat tweaked variant.
Omega increased its price twice since release €8,600 then €9,100 and now €9,600 in Europe… and it still sells very well… If it had been cheaper then it would have been way underpriced… hence cheapening the brand…
Great video! Ok, please do a review of the Certina DS ACTION Diver...oh and mention the quartz version also - Thanks
They need to offer another alternative official bracelet. I’ve tried one on and I’m not keen on mesh bracelet, and the clasp underneath is really large, clever though it is , and I don’t like nato style straps, but a more traditional bracelet with the same tones and styling as the case would make it really attractive
They offer 3 sizes of Milanese strap options. Sounds like you need the small. Ask you’re AD.
@@Chase28ify I believe he's referring to the thickness of the clasp once closed. It looks neat but ends up being thicker than the entire watch head once fastened! It's an unfortunate design flaw as the bracelet looks fantastic.
@@steve_troy I see. I have seen this pointed out on a few videos now, like on the bark and Jack one. Mines pretty minimal and neat. I’ve large wrists and have so little excess bracelet to try and tuck away. On small wrists the excess makes it bulkier. Worth trying the small strap option before writing it off I’d say.
Yes, but there are issues with these as:
1. Most AD are not aware of these.
2. Most AD don’t know the particulars for these i.e. wrist sizes ranges.
3. AD don’t hold demonstration samples for trying & comparing.
4. No references on Omega websites.
5. No idea if the clasp lengths vary with each size or only the mesh.
6. The information I got from Omega HQ after writing an email was that there were 3 sizes: Small (5.5 cm), Regular (6.0 cm) and Large (6.5 cm). The size are for wrist width. I would have thought that a wrist width range would have been more appropriate as I would take the smaller one which fits to avoid the overlap bulk…
I agree with this, the whole package is great but the bracelet fastener / déployant. I would have designed it very differently without the déployant and just a single rather than two clasps.
Bravo Omega, this one’s clearly a winner. I own the SMP300m ceramic dial and bezel, and gets more wrist time than my Rolex.
So you are admitting your Rolex is better?
My Planet Ocean gets more wrist time than both of my Rolex’s added together.
That’s because it’s a bit of a beater in comparison, and I could replace it tomorrow (at 20% off RRP).
A guy that has say a Ferrari and an Audi probably drives the Audi more, but unlikely to infer it’s better than the Ferrari!
@@alfieakaronaldog rolex literally looks about as good as an omega, but omega as a company is better than rolex. rolexes are also boring. personally for the price there are more interesting. id rather get a JLC, GS, or Omega than a rolex for starters. the only rolexes i actually love are the pre 1970s rolex. like 1920=1940's were the best. also this bs limited inventory rolex plays pisses me off and is stupid and unecessary. ferrari? a rolex in the watch world is already the most basic starbucks pumpkin spice latte equivalent the watch industry has to offer. dont kid yourself. a big fancy name and you're sold? mmm not i. i dont care what other people think though. of course. like what you like most earnestly for your own sake. rolex is by no means a total joke, but i could care less about the way they go about anything lol and the design is tired and true. classic but otherwise overdone.

Agree I own a Rolex Daytona
And love it 😍
But I prefer the omega brand and watch’s as I don’t feel like I’m being screwed £££.
I would like to purchase a GMT 11 Rolex
I haven’t got a cat in hells chsnce of ever getting 1 from a Rolex dealer..
None at all
I’ve got to go to the pre-owned dealers and see a £8000 increase..
I could afford one BUT. I shall do with out.
Rolex in my opinion are taking a suicidal pill 💊.. in the long term as it’s only the very very wealthy that are creating this over inflation price for Rolex..
Funny, I’d drive the Ferrari every day because life is short so I would enjoy it whilst I can whilst keeping the Audi as a spare set of wheels…
08:13 - "If there are any watches you would like to see featured, please let us know in the comments section" - yes - I would love you to feature the Patek Philippe 5231J with the cloisonne dial :)
Or the black enamel split second chronographs!
Now that would be cool 👍👍
@@PerpetualTimeLtd FYI I featured it on my channel
Does anyone know which model has the secret 007 logo on the crystal dome that can be seen from a side angle
Just a few days ago I talked to my brother about how this is his grail watch. Hope he gets one one day.
Was contemplating between this and a Rolex sub but decided to go for this..I like bonds movies but I am not a die hard fan. I was hesitant because of the bracelet. Having a small wrist, the clasp sort of dictates how the bracelet attaches (or doesn't) to the wrist. It could be a deal breaker for people with smaller wrists for sure. Yes, by no means perfect but it is extremely light on the wrist which was one of my priorities. I have a couple of IWC pieces including the BP and was looking for something more wearable on a daily base without wrist fatigue. Have tried ceramic version watches etc. Yes, fake lume and cheaper Titanium 2 and aluminum bezel are used. To create a "fake" patina down the road. For the majority of us not being true military guys we just have to do with the wear and tear of a "normal" life, Omega is lending some help. Despite far from being perfect, this Omega ticked all the boxes and I find it really enjoyable. If you hate the HE than it's not for you, or some of the other reasons mentioned above. I am hoping Omega will learn from this and reflect the dial and material choices into future productions because there is a winning formula. And if you are Bond lover, naturally this is certainly one of the best even if it's just made to create an illusion in our minds to be a special agent of her majesty. Nothing wrong with that. For all it's shortcomings, I love this watch.
Try a JB champion bracelet with it, the kind astronauts used om speedmasters. I have my Seiko Willard on one, and its kinda wonky looking with the round case and narrow bracelet but somehow looks so fucking good and really enhances the watchs' features
@@F-Tier_Physique Thanks for the tip. I'll give it a try. FYI. I tried to put an Omega rubber band when purchasing the watch but the dealer who initially thought it was possible found out by actually trying and confirming with Omega that this watch won't be able to fit an Omega rubber band cause of the different configurations in the screw holes. Almost stopped me from buying but I still pulled the trigger and glad I did.
This is my favourite watch of all time. I'm not a big Omega fan but damn they knocked it out of the park with this one.
Saw this in a window in Brugge, Belgium today. I can remember any of the other watches around it or any of the other brands on show.
All I saw was this, and that is all I remember.
I have this watch with the blue face. It is a coaxial movement. Excellent watch. I recently had it cleaned and serviced by the Omega service rep in my area. I maintenance my watches every 4 to 5 years average. This watch is keeping about -2 to +4 seconds per day if I wear it about 14 hours per day and lay it down over night. If I wear it 24/7 it keeps an average of about -1 to -2 seconds per day. Great watch! I bought this watch in 2016.
I do think that might be the best-looking Omega ever made.
This is my first Omega, I like them, but this is not a keeper to me. Bracelet is not for everyone. It's not flexible at all. When you close, it will become stiff, at least 1cm from each side from the clasp. When it's closed, Clast is thicker than watches itself-looking very disproportional, especially for a smaller wrist.
I like that there is no date; it makes these touches more elegant.
At the same time, I'm not a fan of the escape valve. I know that this is some kind of Omega hallmark, but this is what always drives me away from Omega, and I pushed the trigger on that watch pretty much because it doesn't look like the other semesters.
@@josephr7529 I have an 8.25 inch wrist and it works great for me, love the watch an how it fits, keeper for me.
@@josephr7529
1) I have a big enough wrist (19cm) not to see all these flaws.
2) They do have smaller bracelets;
Can the bezel insert be replaced with a ceramic one of the same colour?
Liked before watching, I’ve been hoping this would be the next omega featured 😁🍿
Love mine, still like my Spectre 300 a bit more though but I wear this 300m way more these days.
Ah, the Spectre on its Nato is like an undercover agent on a mission. Graceful , powerful, beautiful watch. Way too elegant for our current world
That watch is beautiful 😍 the colours and the contrast looks amazing 🤩
I want that bracelet. Anyone know where i can purchase one?
Great video, thanks! Please show something from the Certina line next time
Imo, the only flaw is the 8800 movement with single barrel and without the travel function ie independently adjustable hour hand. They should have put in the 8900, but maybe this would have made the watch a little thicker
Those are my only gripes with the Railmaster trilogy I just bought. It has the 8806, which is based on the 8800. Missing the quick hour adjust and double barrel.
I travel a lot but I really don’t care much about the jumping hour adjustment, it’s a nice to have though. I do care about the power reserve though. What is the power reserve of the double barrel ?
+5 seconds per day is not bad considering that it usually slows down with time as the lubricants oxydise and dry out. I would not be crazy about it. Enjoy it in good health ! 👍🏽
@@patrickjean-philippe7679 60 (8900) vs 55 (8800)
Thanks… 70 or 80 hours power reserve would be preferable. These calibres are small in size whereas there is significant un-used void space in the watches cases… I wonder why calibres are not increased in size such that larger power reserve barrels be fitted…
I love mine. It is one of the most comfortable watches that I have ever worn.
Pretty much the ultimate dive watch imho. Love it, tho I'll be getting the "standard" one soon.... Hopefully in time for the film.
Excellent, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
I completely agree with you. When I saw this watch in the Omega website I was mesmerized. Unbelievably beautiful.
omega bezel markings perfectly align with the bezel corners as well as with the hour markers, unlike rolex and tudor
Wow ! I was not aware that Rolex and Tudor markings would not align properly…
@@patrickjean-philippe7679 you can see it for yourself. Even Breitling does a better job with alignments.
The best Omega is the AT Worldtimer.
And a beautiful one too
Gross. Disagree
Ugliest omega easily
I would like to see you do a review on Omega's canopus speedmaster that they launch this year. That is a beauty, probably the cleanest and purest looking watch omega have ever made.
thank you for the review. i’ve been waiting for this review since last year. this 007 edition will be my next watch for sure!!
Good timing with this video as I’m considering buying one, loosing patients awaiting AD call for the submariner
Make the switch. You won’t regret it.
Absolutely - sod the AD's - sick and tired of that game. Just made a video for my channel about my new Omega watch.
Everyone’s uncle has a sub 🤣
This is infintely better looking IMO than a submariner
Sold my sub. I have the black current gen Seamaster so the sub never got worn.but I want this one too.
The latest Speedmaster, holds the top spot. The best Seamaster IMHO is the "Great White." And for half the price. But this one is definitely a sexy beast in a different way. Also anything that says "007" on it is just lame, IMO.
I see the 007 reference on the back, these don’t bother me at all but to the contrary as they add to the fun for this watch. I would have felt very differently if there had been an engraved tag or engraving on the side of the watch case, a special second hand, etc… or anything too obvious lacking subtlety…
My Omega Seamaster 300 8800 runs +2 seconds/month, and my Rolex Datejust 3135 runs +3 seconds/day. Love both of them.
Check out Bark and Jacks render of this watch, minus the helium valve and in black without the arrow. Truly stunning
Why don't more high end watch maker put a nice capped finish on their second's hand like Grand Seiko? I like it so much more than the tiny donut.
Still prefer to wear the Speedmaster I am currently sporting over this seamaster. I’m not into the whole faux patina look
You mean kinda like the most famous subs with a gilt dial?
I bought the Seiko 5 SRPD71K1 Suits , which you reviewed and one of the reason was it’s in my budget and looks so much similar to this 007.
Loved for you to review the latest Omega Speedmaster 321. I personally believe it's the best Omega of all time. From a historic perspective to craftsmanship, one can build a case that the new 321 is the best Omega of all time. Loved to hear your take.
It's a great watch but I don't get why it's priced so much more than the normal Seamaster 300m. To me the standard Seamaster 300m is better looking, has an open case back and has the date function. The only advantage this watch has is its cool lume and lightweight titanium but other than that, it's worse in every department imo but twice the price?!
007 branding
I'm with you on this: titanium is harder to machine, and I understand some premium going to cover for this, but no way that this makes for a doubling of the cost. I'd say 10%-20% of the price difference is for the additional tooling / work, the rest is marketing. That being said, the Omega Seamaster 300 Professional line is fantastic, and this is coming from a guy who is (or was) predominantly into Rolex.
This is a very pretty watch which seems to have so much appeal that it’s price was increased twice since release: €8,600 then €9,100 then now €9,600 _ that’s for the Milanese bracelet one. For the NATO you basically remove €1,000… I very much doubt Omega would have increased its price twice if it had had a lukewarm reception… So it’s expensive because it sells so it can be.
I love the watch and am a huge fan of the Omega brand. I own a half dozen of them and counting. I wish this was more affordable. I must say, the bracelet is just horrible. It’s well made and all but looks like an afterthought. It’s absolutely unacceptable at this price point. Great review and photography as always!
Have to disagree with you here, I'm a big fan of the bracelet.
Skeleton hands are silly without either chrono dials or that hour/minute split that pilot watches sometimes do underneath
Is this bracelet available separately?
I like it. It's not my favourite, or even close to it, but it's a nice watch.
Unfortunate that this video paid barely any attention at all to the Milanese bracelet on this watch, which is possibly the most remarkable piece of engineering that went into its design. They developed an entirely new, in-house process to manufacture it in order to get the taper in both dimensions.
Too bad they absolutely dropped the ball on the clasp how it lays anything but flat
@@samack3 The clasp is definitely wrong as it is excessively thick.
thumbs up the second you mentioned the Radiohead snub. though that means they can continue to make music since they haven't peaked in their career with a Bond theme.
Anyone can share if its easy to get this watch at retail or How's grey market selling this super titanium omega
Very bold statement indeed. My god - dam that watch is gorgeous.
I'd be all over this if it were 40mm rather than 42. I've tried on other seamsters and they wear big and chunky. I'm moving to more slim watches these days. I do love the looks of this watch though.
I second that. I have an older Seamaster that's more compact. I think the new ones, however gorgeous they are, would overwhelm my average-sized wrist.
@@TheUkester69 I would recommend trying it on before making your mind. I have a new SMP 300 and i was worried about it looking stupid on my 15.5 cm wrist, but, it actually works. I got it on the Omega rubberband.
@@dangerpowers5939 I'll consider that. Thanks for the advice.
40 would have been better and a little bit slimmer too… But it’s still awesome !
I have the Skyfall (no 007 logo). It’s just my favourite watch ever. Paid $3000. It was recently re-released almost identically and the RRP is $12,000. Can’t wait for this one to drop too.
Can someone tell me what that wart is on the outside of the case, at the 10 o' clock mark and why Omega feel the need to put "007" on the back?
Is it similar to the wart that you find on nearly all Rolex watches. The wart that resides at the 3 o'clock position of the dial where the date window is?
Tongue in cheek title indeed but I have to say that what I originally mistook for a gimmick and felt a touch dare I say it “cheap” feeling when I originally wore one, has slowly been gnawing away at me to the point where I really am torn between this or an 861 Speedy to scratch my next itch. Once again, a great video, keep up the good work.
It's a beautiful watch but I'm happy with the regular Seamaster. The ceramic wave dial is stunning to my eyes, an excellent design that remains legible but shows new facets as you move the watch.
Way better off with the normal Seamaster. That is a real watch. This 007 model, is the bastardization of that watch. The perfect example of how to take a great watch, and turn it into a shit sandwich.
I disagree.
Great looking piece. I second that opinion about NOT putting 007 on the face,, or anywhere on the watch for that matter.
I got this watch 3 months ago and I absolutely love it! Compared to my Bond watch from Spectre I have to say that this watch is on another level
At this price point they should have used Grade 5 titanium, not Grade 2 -- at least for the case anyway.
Grade 5 is very shiny but grade 2 has a milky dull look in line with motif of this watch…
It is not a cost cutting exercise by Omega as the whole thing would have only been a few dollars price difference but done to promote the stealth “special forces” image.
Grade 2 scratches much easier right.
Yes, that’s what I heard from some videos. Daniel Craig asked for a lighter, slimmer watch which would be more stealthy hence they went for grade 2.
007 was indeed the safest bet!
Thank you for featuring this watch! I absolutely love mine.
First watch with that He escape valve that I’ve desired. It’s gorgeous.
I made my close friend buy this watch and I bought the Omega Worldtimer the same day…. I have never felt so happy and jealous at the same time. The watch has that special X factor that je ne sais quoi that is so elusive yet so desirable. I have seen a lot of hate for this watch because of its price and because the bracelet is a bit uncomfortable but I couldn’t agree more with what was said… Omega has fired both torpedo tubes and for me this sinks the Submariner in deep waters….Godspeed Omega indeed…
I have several omegas and I love my at worldtimer! Its my current daily watch.
The bracelet is among the best I know. In my opinion the bracelet alone could be enough reason to buy this watch. It's extremely comfortable and looks and feels fantastic.
I really like it and get the price positioning. But for what it is, especially compared to their own inhouse competitors, I think it's WAY overpriced... business management wise it's a good move and the desirability seems to confirm the plan.
For the price they should limit to fewer pieces
It seems to sell like hot cakes even though Omega increased the price twice since release €8,600, €9,100 to €9,600 now for the bracelet version…
I disagree, it is the rather high price vs other non-precious metal Seamaster models which may limit some buyers hence production.
@@rhino202 its limited precisely because of the price
Needed the open case back
I think people don’t understand how difficult titanium is to machine. You usually have to use carbide bits to get good results. And carbide is expensive and breaks easily.
Sure it’s a lot more expensive, but no other seamasyer looks like this
If it had no Bond reference I would have bought one in a heartbeat. I opted for the Dark Side of the Moon - Apollo 8 instead. I have to say the titanium bracelet was extremely comfy, faux patina wasn't too overbearing. I had a Digital Bond watch from the Roger Moore era, when I was a kid. I just can't get away from the fact that I would be wearing a watch branded for a fictional character and thus feel slightly childish in doing so. Nice watch Omega, now release a version without the double O.
We’re all grown up kids, just the price of our toys goes up. Nothing wrong with that i think.
It’s funny as I feel very differently. Unapologetically I feel like a kid who likes his toys. I promised to myself that I shall cherish that kid in me until the sunset of my life… It definitely does not prevent me from very serious high level dealings at work but always with a smile, banter and jokes for a laidback and pleasant atmosphere… People like it… Aside from some watches, being a kid led me to buying two vintage Bugatti, other pre-war racing cars and a bi-plane… I feel no embarrassment about that whatsoever… 😉
It’s all the better keeping the kid in you all along ! Put fun and toys in your life as life is better lived with a big smile every day !
Doesn't matter, most people only care about the Rolex as 85% of people have no class and the number is drastically rising.
One of my favorites are regularly comes up on rotation.
Stunning. I am glad I own my Seamaster. I'd love another 1...or another 20.
To me a Seamaster for the the same price as a Submariner just means the average buyer that wants a bit of bling on the wrist won’t even look twice at the Omega. Sad but true.
so true, but not sad. looking forward to steep price drop a year or two later so that i can get this sexy bond watch.

I don’t believe this omega Will go down in price at the AD what’s so ever..
On the grey market I believe in 5 years in nice condition it’ll be around £10 k
@@Only-one-life-68 well, only time will tell.
If you can buy sub at retail price tho.
Interesting that you are looking for a price drop in a year or two as Omega has increased its price fairly significantly since it was released. It went from €8,650 to €9,100 to €9,600 on the Milanese strap… Omega increased its price because thus far it is a commercial hit.
In person this watch is stunning, no photo has managed to capture it.
Much agreed. A lot is lost in pictures and video. The dial has a texture and warmth that can’t be captured. The crystal doming is perfect. It’s simple elegance, and the patina doesn’t look as forced.
Isn’t that the same for most watches though?
I was not too keen on the new Seadweller until I handled one!
I also went from thinking a planet ocean was pretty good looking (for an Omega) to knowing I would buy one after trying it on in an AD.
Stunning. Tried for the first time on wrist and I get it now
.. so light weight and comfy. The caramel, brown, grey... such a beautiful colour palate. I love it
