- Today we take a nice look at the all new ceramic wave dial Seamaster which is now a METAS certified Master Chronometer. This one is tough to beat if your only going to buy one Swiss Luxury watch under $5k. Let me know what you guys think in the comments, thanks for watching!
Picked up this omega today. My first high end watch. Been saving for a very long time.
On the way out i spotted an iwc387903 and tried it on.
I loved it and i gotta say it looks soo much better in person. Photos make it look kind of dull in my opinion but wow it was incredible.
Im new to this watch world but ive loved and been drawn to watches ever since i was about 6 years old.
My grandmother used to tell me i used to ask to see everyones watch when i was a little boy.
Very happy with my purchase
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these TH-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
Is your also going +3 sec on a day?
zero scratches on crystal and i wear the hell out of it
take it to the lake and beach and play in the sand with my son. no issues

I’ve got the blue 300m version. Love it. The bracelet is amazing once you start wearing it.
Absolutely agree The bracelet comfort is second to none. Even better than the Sub.
I got the black version and agree that the bracelet feels awesome, even more comfortable than the one of my Breitling.
I just don’t like the look of it. I would get the rubber strap I think
BrightSparkling@Soul it is much more comfortable but definitely not as good looking. The way the bracelet tappers on the Rolex is so much more attractive. The nine piece on the SMP is garbage how it’s intermittently polished on the links. Lame O yes more comfortable though but not buy much. I got the new titanium Bond bracelet for mine. Love it way more now !!
Would you wear it with a suit Paul ? Or is it too casual ?
I tried the blue and black one on a few weeks ago and they are both stunning. It has the flavour of the original Seamaster but also feels super modern and super premium. I think Bruce is right about it being a equivalent to the sub for a much better price. I would rather have the Omega over the Rolex personally now it’s that good. The best watch at this price point by a mile 👍🏼
I used to want a Submariner, however when I saw this one and then compared specs and prices, I felt stupid wanting a Submariner. Bought the Omega and I can't be happier.
Manuel TP good choice 👍🏼 I’m getting a blue one ☝️ I’ve always wanted a sub too but they are now over priced and over rated. They are a bit boring too. Omega have really taken things to a new level with this new Seamaster 👍🏼
And I thought I was the only on who found the sub boring and even insignificant on my wrist... I never got the so called “understated” aesthetic of the Sub and Rolex in general for that matter. They just never did anything for me and I was never able to bring myself to buy one.
I would choose the Omega over Rolex any day even they were priced the same.
Manuel TP I share the exact same experience, walking into Rolex ads got any subs nope , give me a break .had no intention of buying the omega but after trying it , it couldn’t be denied almost an unbelievable watch . Actually some presence on wrist !!
Had an original bond Seamaster Professional I bought new in 2002. Serviced it twice over its lifespan and that watch served me well. Thought about replacing it but flat out did not care for the non wave dial of the 2011-2017 model. I saw this at an AD last weekend and couldn’t get it off my mind. Went in today and secured a 20% discount and pulled the trigger. I feel like I got an updated and massively improved replacement for old reliable. Every single feature is better. The features, attention to detail and the build quality are at least on-par with Rolex and the price is less than half. Plus... I can have one without smooching up to an AD who wants me to prove myself worthy by stepping through the purchase of lesser models and a ring, bracelet or earrings in the cases on the other side of the store. I am scratching that itch for nostalgia for the older version (and my first fine timepiece) while getting cutting edge technology and quality. As my sone would say.. “It’s dope!”.the dial is a quantum leap in the beauty department. I can scarcely take my eyes off of it when the sun plays on the gloss blue surface, the precision laser cut wave pattern and the jewel-like sparkle of the hands and applied markers (which were just dollops of lume paint on the old one) . Aside from the overall aesthetic and design elements there is NO comparison between these watches. Oh.. yeah.. and move over glidelock.. the Omega ratcheting micro-adjust just ate your lunch. Couldn’t be more pleased
Just picked one up today. It’s my first omega. I’ve had Rolex’s for the past 15 years and yes I have a new favorite every day watch
I got it for 50th birthday, it’s even more beautiful in live . I love the size and the finish of the watch, I love the fact that has one barrel. Of course it would look better without the helium crown but then it wouldn’t be “ original seamaster “ . I only wish it was 22mm lug and tapered down to 20 . It is very comfortable to wear . Great review .
I just purchased this watch and it is actually my first luxury watch which I am very excited about
Congrats. How are you liking it?
Mind if I ask where? I'm looking for one.
you broke the ice,good for you and a perfect watch the only bad thing is you set the bar pretty high right out of the box so here comes the big spending enjoy my first was the blue wave in 2005 i think 5 omegas later and now time to dump the triple zero for this bad boy
Me too! I had a tag heur F1 for 2 years and now got this SMP 300 in blue, amazing!
Trying one on in person converted me so hard and now I can't stop thinking about it. It's so substantial, and feels like amazing quality in and out for the money.
Had the same experience. I liked it but on pics and videos I didn't really love it. Then I tried it on at the AD while I was actually there for another watch. Since then I was sold, so I picked mine up this week!
True true true
Never cared for the old one, but this thing is virtually perfect
It’s been about 6 months and still can’t stop looking at mine. The one and only watch I’ll ever need. I’m glad I took the time to save for this and not buy something cheaper.
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these TH-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
@@lilboysweatnicabrandonshow8568 not an issue with this time piece at all. It still looks like the day I got it. And I wear it everyday after work and weekends.
@@bobfromcalgary8453 thanks Bob it’s one of those things some people are unlucky I guess and if you wear it everyday that’s even more an investment and gem! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with your watch. I’m hoping my wife gets me this watch for my 41st birthday lol since I got a Breitling SuperOcean heritage 46mm for my 40th last year.
I love this watch and have added it to my list for the collection. I’ve found a new found live for Omega after buying the Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Great video and review 👍
Admittedly, I'm a Rolex fanboy, but dumped the plain looking 116610LN for a new blue wave dial 300m. It's got so much more eye appeal and tech upgrades. Just a better watch at less than half the price, that you can actually find!
So when Tudor released the Black Bay it took the watch community by storm. I love the BB because I have one but frankly this new Seamaster is off the charts in every way and in my opinion demands attention from all who are watch enthusiasts. I saw it in person and it literally blew me away, it punches so far above it's weight. I have to say that it's ridiculous that Omega has marked it at what they have because it easily contends and frankly beats the Sub in almost all levels. Yes I've ordered this version and can't wait for it to arrive.
Exactly well said it does demand respect from true watch enthusiasts. Tried on all the Tudor hype and this watch blew them away . Wasn’t even on my radar , but it couldn’t be denied of all the watches in the shop . It’s an incredible timepiece . Stunning in person .
@@zachward7707 I’ve been on the verge of picking one up for far too long. :))
beautiful watch and in the version with blue dial is more beautiful...
HI BRUCE THIS NEW OMEGA WATCH REALLY POPS I DO LIKE WHAT I SEE AND CERTAINLY IF I HAD THE MONEY ON THE WRIST THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR DOWN TO EARTH REVIEWS . I CERTAINLY RESPECT AND ENJOY YOUR THE COMMENT'S YOU SHARE WITH US AS THEY ARE REAL AND PRACTICAL.SEMPER FI
I can’t afford this but I’m gonna get the Chronometer version because that’s what watch people do spend all you got to make your dreams come true
well its official... Just scored a black wave dialed Omega SMP! 😁👍🤘 You're 2 for 2 on assisting my watch purchase. First being the Seiko Samurai Save the Ocean..... Cheers 🥃
Love the Planet Ocean with the orange bezel and this one is a beauty too.
Just got this one from my wife for Christmas 🎄 i love it . I have a longines hydroconquest and a tag heuer aquaracer and this omega omg 😍😍 love it
You have a good wife 👍
congrats duviel !!
hd31 are you talking for personal experience? If so too bad that happened to you maybe you deserve it because you never were a good husband..
It’s really beautiful what they did with this one. I have the previous ceramic smp and I think it offers fantastic value for money, especially lightly used. I paid $2500 for mine and the dude wore it like once
Traded my Submariner tutor the Omega Seamaster diver in blue with SS. Of course I got a boat load of cash and a very beautiful watch!!
Been waiting on this review for a while. Great job 🍻 What a leap Omega made with this SM. I wear a ceramic sub date and can’t help but marvel at the upgrades of the dial, crowns, and hour markers. Never been a huge fan of the bracelet due to lack of taper, however, I guess I’m just bias due to the sub. But I digress. Great recognizes great and this one gets a solid 👍🏻.
Waiting for the 39mm version
Ben Skelton it’s not coming
why ben skelton, buy 42 mm... it isn't too big, i have a small wrist and i like it so much
It's way to big for smaller wrist. Tends to look goofy with all that loud dail. I prefer the previous seahamster with smaller size and calmer but still stunning dail. On the previous seamaster the omega logo is applied and three dimensional.
@@LiquidSm0ke agreed
Absolutely gorgeous watch!!
bought mine for diving. that wetsuit extension is a must in a diver that has potential for its intended use.
Great review man, its an awesome watch
Nice and interesting video , I’m owned of one in blue dial and It’s simply the Diver!.
Thanks you so much to guide me in watch collecting.
It’s wonderful ,held one in my hands last weekend. I have a Planet Ocean also but the Seamaster 300 beats it hands down now, I’m sad to say. Thing is now I want one besides the PO, guess I’m just greedy! 😆
Haha I wanted to have the exact PO you showed at the beginning, but as it is not available any more, I will now switch to the SMP 😉 good choice and good taste!
Nice review as always! Lovely watch. I'm torn between this and the older model for my first luxury piece!
Michael Taylor I just bought the outgoing in blue. It is superb. Much thinner, no novelty display back, clean dial. It’s just better IMO. Future classic. The only ceramic Seamaster without wave dial.
There is nothing to be torn in between. This is absolutely a handsome timepiece, much better than the previous model aesthetically. It is also technically superior in movement, quality and finishing as well as choice of new materials like the glossy ceramic bezel insert and fantastic laser-etched wave dial. What's there to be torn in between? It's just that straightforward, dude. Why are you hesitating unnecessarily?
I am in the same boat as you! I absolutely love the look of the new version but the lug to lug is a bit too much and i prefer the bracelet of the previous model. BUT this new rendition it’s so damn good looking! And that movement ....wow!
I ended getting the newer version because I felt that I would regret spending all of that money and not getting the more future proof watch. It's slightly larger but not a deal breaker.
Great review. Beautiful imagery!
Congrats. Very nice watch.
LOVEIT MAYBE A BIT BIG ON MY 7 INCH WRISTS
nah! i have a 6 inc wrist and i want it... for my wrist it is a little big but i don't care, i like so much !
Omega hit this one out of the park.
There's a lot to like about this new Seamaster 300, but I hope they come out with a military styled version with the broadsword hands, a more aggressive edged bezel, remove the manual HE valve, and a tapered bracelet similar to the Speedmaster with the new ratcheting internal clasp!
Get the PO then ;-)
Gevril Hudson yards nailed the homage to this!!!
I just wish omega will taper the bracelet and remove the helium valve and improve lume
Ditch the Helium valve and wave pattern it would look a much better watch but still a classy
piece much better than a sub.
Beautiful. Doubt about blue or black sphere. It will better with 44 mm.
I think aside from desk diving, the reason the jump hour was not implemented here was mainly due to the design purpose. The aquaterra in 41mm was designed for the sailor on the teak deck of his yatch, much more likely to be jumping timezones than the professional which is geared more as a diving tool. The lack of the jump hour also allows the movement to be less complex with less that can go wrong.
Now as to why the 38mm aquaterras also do not have that jump hour, it might be due to the movement being smaller? Needs confirmation, but might also explain it as I would expect a 300m tool diver to have beefier case sides than a 150m sport-casual watch.
Really thinking on pulling the trigger on this watch. AD here in Qatar has a promotion... Pay retail and get 50% store credit back. Jewelry branch also is AD for Longines where I can use the credit towards. They have the Master GMT Moonphase for about $800. Technically, I could get two Longines with the purchase of a Seamaster. If I can get the Blue Dial Blue L27934920 and the GMT Moonphase L2.673.4.78.3 Longines with the purchase of a Seamaster, I think it is a no brainier .
This is just love
Great review as well 👍👍
I got a orent mako 2 it was my first watch in black , i definitely want this or a submariner in black for my next
Packed with value. Very impressive.
Love it.
I use the sliding extension on my bracelet.
Omega must consider overhauling the current bracelet and/or offering an HEV-free Seamaster. The bracelet is very 90's looking and the HEV is just an eyesore. Some of the Uncle Seiko bracelets made for the Seamaster knock the stock bracelet out of the park. The bracelet is the main drawback stopping me from seriously considering this watch as a future purchase.
At 3:03 there are dust particles, are they on the crystal? They look resting on the dial, but it is hard to believe.
just tryed it today with black diel and gold bezel, it fits me crezy i hop i will get in 10-15 years because as a collage student unfortunately ca not afford it :)
i just start to save up and 10 k for gold is pritty good proce compere to 13k in Croatia. GREAT REWIEW I AM YOUR NEW SUBSCRIBER!!
Welcome Ivan and good luck in school!
tnx!!
Went to AD today , was in the market for Moonwatch or a Blue 300M . The Moonwatch , even if it is nice looking watch , it just isn't my thing . The blue 300m was boring and did look too big . Tried the Black 1 as last resort and that was the nr1 by a long shot . The black is stunning and try each watch on your own wrist , just because it does look good on pic or people tell you , doesn't mean it does in real .
Sadly I've always disliked the scalloped bezel, the wave pattern dial, hand set, case back and unnecessary helium escape valve. The Planet Ocean is easier on the eye.
I agree, they can improve the watch finishing, movement and materials until the cows come home, but the design is just bad imo and if that doesn't change i'll never like the watch. love the po but too thick
the prior model (2017) at 41mm,less pronounced helium valve but especially with the solid dial as opposed to the waves is a winner to me, dont really like the new one
Great video and photo work showing off this Omega. Wow, have they ever stepped up their game! These Omega Seamaster's are biting at the heels of the mighty. I think we all know who that is. Thanks
I must admit.. This is a fucking beautiful watch..
You're making me feel like my James Bond Model is obsolete....haha. I do like the new legibility though, and the date stands out better at 6 O'clock than at 3 O'clock.
Very Nice Indeed! I want one dammit!
Amazing watch I just don’t like the Helium escape valve. This would match my no date sub if they were to get rid of it
Far better than a Rolex , to me anyhow cheers Shane uk 🇬🇧
Wish theyd release a bracelet that isnt super ugly for this. The rubber/canvas ones are great.
Am I wrong or is there dust on the dial?!
Chinese : Okay, thank you for showing me. Hold my beer.
Give them 10 minutes
My dream sport watch would be this one at 39 or 40 mm, no helium valve (non-divers don't use it and real divers use a digital watch), and no date. I think if the crown was placed at the 4 o'clock it would sit better on the wrist... instead of callusing the back of your had. Just my opinions. I think the Rolex bracelets oyster and jubilee both look better, but I hear this has the better clasp. It must be hard for their design team, always having to compare their choices against the Rolex Sub... feeling like they have to constantly differentiate as to not be confused with an homage.
They did fail, 41mm should it be or even 40mm.
What a beautiful watch !
Nice review! I have a question can i put the bracelet of the planet ocean into the seamaster? Is possible to buy?
Don't know about the whole bracelet but the clasp fits.
The bezel looks great, but it is very difficult to grip
Gorgeous diver
Such a beautiful watch!!😍😍😍
Is it me or does the dial have white specks sprinkled all over it. Im watching this in 4K and when the seconds hand passes its hidden so it's not on the glass.
They make this in titanium too
Hello, very nice review! Is it possible to wear this watches with a 6.3'' wrist tho? I'm kinda lean -_-
The bracelet and wave dial as most of this watch is IDENTICAL to my 20 year old seamaster 300 meter! This is nothing new, only bringing BACK an iconic design!
Omega or Breitling? What’s the best bang for your buck?
Are these watches selling at any discounts to MSRP at ADs?
Mine would go 10 percent but others may not, and others may go more. It just depends on the store
Quick Bruce: this or the Speedy Saphire Sandwich you reviewed a few weeks ago?
Black or blue?
Black is a classic
Nice watch ,
second market value is low on Omegas right?
Can I get a discount in a Boutique if I pay it with cash?
the omega looks/feel lot bigger tahn the rolex?
No it's almost the same. I have both.
Does anyone else’s clasp on this make a click noise when you tap it? And when the clasp it shut and upside down the swing arm hangs down a bit
when was this released?
Planet ocean’s bezel is a lot better. Easier to read, being matte finish. Also the knurling makes it easier to grip.
Love the bracelet, dial, markers, hands,
Don't like the case, the numbers on bezel.
The fit and finish looks extraordinary.
I got 15cm wrist. I like this watch alot. But kindof too bulky for my skinny wrist.
same bro 15.2, and i don't care. it is a little big, maybe, but it is a diver ! divers are big, or at least must be big that you can read them fast under water. 49 is lug to lug, it isn't big for a 42mm dial.
Price in Pakistan and how can we purchase it
4300 Euro.. I love it.
Omega: Better hands, better indices, better dial, better movement.
Rolex: Better bezel, better bracelet, better clasp, better crown, better resale.
omega better finishing in case, in dial, in movement, antimagnetic 15 000 gaus, better power reserve, better price.
omega better stock, omega no wait list, omega no mind games. Rolex "no stock"
How much is it
4200 here in NyC
I've been saving up for the speedmaster but now this video makes me wanna change my mind..why?..why??????
I had the Speedy Moonwatch and the SMP 300 (the predecessor) in blue. I sold the Speedy because I seldom wore it, found it a bit bland and kept the SMO and am very happy with this. It's a beautiful watch, dressy as sporty.
This blows the speedy away no pun intended .
Better than a Sub. They nailed this one.
who else is watching but cant afford this.
How much
You can bro... You can do it..
I just got mine today and it is freaking beautiful!
I can't afford it but i am gonna buy it🙈😂
Only $350 on Pure Time. 😂
While I don't care for the bracelet of the new Seamster, I overall like its wave dial and general updates, which as a whole make it a distinct diver watch. Great review. Thanks.
Jeffrey McMahon that’s what natos and rubber straps are for ;)
Slippschitts Hey you look stupid
I have the master co-axial 300 on a nato strap. But I have to say, that seamaster diver bracelet is ICONIC. So different from other brands and I love it. Cant understand why people dont like it. Maybe because it's that different?
That dial is something my eyes will never get tired of. Omega killed it with this one!
I agree 110% cant think of another watch right now! Ending up on this no matter what brand i see. Omega did a great job for sure, iam happy they did keep the old look and shaped in to this modern but kept the old history in this new one!
@@ottoman5375 Looks like this one is going to end up in your watch box soon I suppose!
Iam really planning to buy this watch :). I had a chrono seamaster 3 years ago. But i always regret selling it. But this one really got my attention so i will buy this one and keep it for a very long time :). Hope everyone could enjoy this timepiece! Have a nice day sir!
@@ottoman5375 Just make sure you don't sell this beauty or you will regret it again haha. Have a great day!
Just don't like the slow date change on the omegas some cheaper Swiss watches have a better midnight date change which is quicker
Just a few hours to go untill mine arives! I must have spent five months deciding which colour, but I've gone for the Black, timeless and versitile.
Is your AR coating ok and no scratches on your crystal yet? I’m asking a lot of people because I may get it this year but all these TH-cam reviews killing me with the crystal scratches.
How you like the watch Phil?
@@lilboysweatnicabrandonshow8568 Sorry for the late reply. Not noticing any scratches, however, it does seem to appear greasy sometimes, especially if I wear it in bed, which I do with all of my watches?
@@samuellp1146 It's great for me. I have a 7.5 inch wrist and think it looks spot on, doesn't wear as thick as you would think either. The lume is great on the markers, but does get a bit difficult to read on the hands after a period of time.
@@MiddleAgedBrit no probs! I got this watch last year October 16 from my wife for my 41st birthday and after 5 months in its great! I do see the grease from time to time but love this watch! Now we have to put up with the new Swatch watch haha
Omega just crapped all over Rolex’s overrated & overpriced for the same-old-watches bubble with this one. What an extremely beautiful & innovative timepiece!
Kai Splendor totally agree
@Mark Michael the hands are definitely what is putting me off. Am thinking about the Deep Black GMT Seamaster from 2016 I thinkt.
Mark Michael the hands are perfect. They scream modern elegance. Especially when compared to the ultra cheesy “Mercedes” hour hand on the Sub, GMT Master, Explorer...etc
I am enjoying my Omega Seamaster. Grey dials and absolutely beautiful when the light shines on it. Loving it and enjoying wearing this almost every day except when swimming, I use my Seiko Prospex great white shark. 😁
jimmyjay122 it boils down to personal taste. I love both. If your a horological fan and can afford those you will love both. I have both in my inventory and they have equal wrist time. If you hate on the just the same like Samsung and Apple stupid fan boys. Watches are for man not boys.
Man I'm really beginning to LOVE this watch especially on the Omega rubber or nato strap. All these videos are tempting as hell too! Great video as always bro!
EMKWAN REVIEWS Time for you to make a video on this!
*sigh* time to start saving...
I own the Bond version; it’s an incredible piece. I own an older sub, and it’s night and day. Bracelet better in person and once you wear it, wow, amazing.
That’s a beautiful watch Bruce. I still wear my 1997 Seamaster and just actually got it back from Omega from its first service (19 years) no damage, no big deal. Just a regular service. Great brand. I love that it has an open case back
How much was your service?
I have the 2017 version and love it, but this has my eye wandering....
Stunning watch with a timeless wave pattern dial. The Seamaster is one of my favorits all time watches. Hopefully I'll have the pleasure of owning one at some point.
Wave pattern are not timeless at all! If it's timeless why does Omega keep changing it with every model?
E Larson all da best everyone starts somewhere hopefully in the near future you get one :)
@@marcusnns It's a trademark Seamaster look, and I think they received enough negative feedback from removing it that they've put it back. Sales numbers on the new model with the laser etched waves seems to indicate people like it.
