I wonder why this watch is overlooked in all the submariner vs seamaster comparisons. This is the watch that Omega put all their effort and latest innovations in. Anti magnetic in house movement, one of the best on the market. Great bezel, really on par with Rolex. Quick adjustable bracelet, a see through caseback,... I bought it 1,5 years ago and couldn't be happier. I personally like that they faked the vintage lume as current lumoniva doesn't age so you will never get that yellow color with the current watches on the market.
I was really into the black bay herritage, but when I saw this Omega, just simply erradicated the Tudor from my wishlist. With the Bond nato strap...it is a definite WIN
Couple of months ago i saw that video.Since then I watched it at least more 50 times.Today i received my own seamaster 300.Thank you Bruce!Keep going with your great work.Greetings. Péter
How does this watch not get more attention.... great proportions, superb movement and outstanding build quality. With the addition of a beautiful vintage aesthetic.
Bruce Williams I have to agree with this..It's your vids Brucey that borderline have me pull my wallet out on the spot and hit the buy now button! I actually did do that with your mm 300 videos! haha still paying that one off!😆🍻
I've been trying to decide on my next watch and have been to look at Tudor (Pelagos and the range of Black Bays) and this watch. I'm going to save some more money and buy the Omega. After handing it and trying it on I'm convinced. That movement is beautiful and I love the see through case back. It has 4 years warranty (twice that of Tudor)and a service interval of 10 years. I'm not a diver and appreciate the more refined look and this is awesome quality. I went to an Omega boutique to see the watch and If you're able to do the same,I strongly recommend it. This is an outstanding watch brand and being able to see all their range is a treat. The time to save the extra money will be worth it for me.
Thanks for your review. I ended buying one. I love the cream colored markers! I predict these watch will become super popular once they are out of production. Omega perfection!
I have this watch and it sits really nice on the wrist. It is a dress diver watch if that is a style of watch now. The more I wear it the more I like it. The movement is a masterpiece. The white second had would disappear among the other hands if it was silver. This review is pretty spot on. From a owners prospective who gets to see lots of nice watches this one is highly recommend.
Great video and presentation! I have had mine for about 7 months. I agree that the polished center links are not practical but that seems to be the popular thing now with Omega and Rolex, and they do allow this watch to dress up well in a suit. The muted dial and bezel add to the evening elegance. The Co-axial movement is possibly the best technological movement in the industry right now and the 15,000 gauss rating is actually 15,000+, but they have not been able to test it in an environment with more magnetism than that. Mine runs about +1/2 a second day, so the accuracy is outstanding. At $6600 dollars, it is ahead of other watches in the same price range, or 35% higher.
On the lookout for a new watch, you may have just sold me this one, just gorgeous, smart enough for an evening out whilst retaining a nice casual look for everyday wear.
I went back and forth on this watch for a long time because, as is stated in the review, it is rather tall. But I love everything else about it. I had to settle on a diver and it was between a new version of this watch and a worn 2015 ceramic submariner no-Date. In the end I went with this watch because I felt like I loved the Submariner because it is a submariner, but I loved this watch because I just thought it was a stunning watch. So I made a gut decision to go with this watch and, unlike most of my watch purchases, I have not looked back.
@@redmarpostma7435 This is a watch that does wear tall on the wrist. The diameter around the bezel is pretty restrained at 41mm, but because it is tall as well it has an overall pretty chunky feeling to it which some may or may not like. The lugs are straight and long. On my large flat wrist it sits very comfortably and the design of the lugs is one of the things I like about it. However, for people with a smaller size wrist those long straight lugs are pretty unforgiving. They look odd when they extend past the wrist. Overall I love the dimensions and it wears well. But personally I would not recommend this watch for people with a wrist size under 7 inch or so.
Great review with some beautiful upclose photos. I liked that you mentioned the alternatives at the end. Would love to see you explore this comparison in a full length video.
Hi Bruce, there is one cool function on this watch that is the "jumping hour" like the GMT master II or Explorer II. This is very useful while travelling, adjusting the local time without stopping the seconds and moving the minutes hand. I don't mind not having the date function, I prefer this one actually rather than been bothered by the date setting everytime I travel
Thanks for this very complet review. I was looking for a nice, simple, elegant, water resistant, well illuminated in the dark and accurate watch. I looked at thousand of models. And I think this one could be my choice. You showed some details that where note mention usually, like the bracelet adjustment and it's very useful to me.
Nice to see some quality filming/editing going on here. I have this watch and absolutely love it. It's perfect to me, the size, the height i love on or off Nato, second hand, lume, etc.. definiltey one of my favorites. Its such a solid, clean watch :) And like you said the movement is fantastic! It was worth every $ to me!
It looks beautiful. A stunning piece that stands out in a very good way. Plus the nato strap option gives it such flexibility. It's like having two watches.
I Love THIS PIECE, Doesn’t it look so contemporary, , although it was first designed in the late 1950’s , .... I like it so much, I’ve just completed a homage build that looks and feels fantastic !!! using a Raffles time sterile Omega 300 dial for an ETA 2836 ( I did switch up the hands simply to be different , used Vintage inspired orange SEA URCHIN HANDS , also from raffles time , it truly looks great !!)
Great watch. I went with the Aqua Terra in the end because I love the teak dial, hands, and applied logo. Its pretty versatile as well, maybe a bit more on the dress side. The only real downside is how awful it looks on a NATO. The 300 has a superior clasp than the butterfly on the AT but I think you can buy the clasp from Omega.
Great segment on Omega Seamaster 300. It is a beautiful timepiece. It's both tool and dress watch - two in one. Lum is excellent. I appreciate you put other watches that match within the level of this Seamaster 300.
Great watch! I saved up and bought a Rolex 14060 Sub about 20 years ago. I flipped it after a few weeks as it was a massive disappointment to me. I’ve been wearing Omega watches ever since. I would love a Rolex Explorer though.
Fantastic review Bruce. I love how you showed what the dial would like in white with a little Photoshop, very cool. You truly do some fantastic reviews, and I for one, love your channel. You create some of the finest watch reviews on TH-cam. Keep up the good work! I'll be sure to offer my congratulations at 100,000 subscribers - you're on your way!
Excellent review. The way it should be done. I like how you pay attention to the technical merits of the movement. Too many so calle reviews don't even mention anything more than the anti-magnetic qualities.
Someone may have mentioned this already, but this isn’t a sandwich dial. It’s just filled in with faux patina lume in the cutouts of the dial. Gives the same appearance though. Still a very comfortable and beautiful watch. I love it
I have this , yes it's a bit tall, even taller with the nato on. But I get used to it. The white second hand is practical in white in my opinion, it makes easy reading
The Watch lacks a date just configuration and stainless steel body. Otherwise, it looks like a perfect Watch, very accurate, stylish, dressy but also a professional and certified Dive Watch at the same time. Many Thanks for the comprehensive review.
HEY! That was an excellent review!!! I've been debating getting this watch ever since it was released and man, I just wish it was slimmer....GREAT JOB!!!!
Nice. This piece is on my short list also. Couple of questions for you.Bruce mentions that he thinks it sits too tall on the wrist, looks okay to me, your thoughts having bought this piece. The bracelet, any real issues for you given the polished centre links? cheers
Yes it does after wearing Rolexes for years even the sub i had slides in and out of the cuff easily. This watch does stands ruggedly tall, it lacked that classy elegant feel you get from a Rolex, center links scratches easily but i wouldn’t worry about it. This is a great timepiece and in keeping with modern watch standard 8400/CoAxial and that 300 heritage.
I look at watch reviews all the time and just came across your video for the first time. This is probably the best watch review I have ever seen. Thanks for the content! By the way, so annoying that Omega’s new model watches are so freaking thick! Deal breaker.
I was indecisive about whether I should get a Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 or a Memovox as my everyday watch. Now, after seeing this, I'm gonna save a little bit of money, pull an 180° and get this beauty!
Lol you're telling us what we are fully aware of. of course a chunk of our money is spent on the presentation itself, but at times, that may be justified. It's all based on personal preferences. Some may care and some may not. I personally feel a good portion of Omega's charm comes from it's presentation. Of course from a more objective financial standpoint you're right, but hey, to each his own.
I like what you done There Bruce at 9.21 & again at 10.03 showing the difference if they had gone with the white makers instead of the muted colour, good job, and agree it’s better looking as it is 👍🏻, I’m seriously thinking of getting one, and probably in blue & titanium’ if I don’t it will be the Tudor Pelagos, but I think & feel I love the Omega more lol
Great review. I have this watch and it is one of my favorites on the wrist, of course I prefer a bit more wrist presence. I haven't worn it with a nato yet but with the bracelet it doesn't feel like it rides too high for me. The way the outer case and the lugs are shaped it actually appears thinner than it is, much more so compared to my Tudor GMT which is about the same width in measure but appears to ride much higher.
The bezel isn't completely made with Liquidmetal alloy. It's a ceramic bezel with the numeric indices deep-filled with the alloy; it's the only type of metal that could effectively fill the small crevices via thermoplastic deformation at elevated temperatures. The alloy is also several times more scratch-resistant than steel, so it will stay looking almost brand new no matter the degree of abuse the watch goes through. Love Omega and how they're always pushing innovation in mechanical watchmaking design. In this regard, they're the superior to Rolex.
Very good review. After getting the blue Omega Master Co-Axial Aqua Terra which is a great watch in its own right, I'm hoping this Seamaster 300 will be my next watch purchase.
Great watch but it has a few flaws that could be improved. An applied Omega logo would be nice. It would give a little bit more debt to the dial. It would also give it a little bit more luxurios dial, because the dial is all printed. The seconds hand is indeed the wrong colour and too white. It should be the same as the other hands. Maybe with a small lume pip. The bracelet is great but the polished center links are a mistake. Brushed center links would be better. I understand that this is a vintage diver and that Omega wanted to stay close to the original but the improvements that I mentioned would have been allright imho. Great review Bruce. It is still a beautiful watch that is still on my radar. It is hard to choose between this one and the Speedmaster professional moonwatch.
@@bouncinbeau good to know. They quote 15.5mm but who knows. Have been holding off purchasing the two tone rose gold version due to the thickness of it.
Beautiful. Omega should offer a version with a date function in place of the Arabic No. 3 on the dial. I believe the original watch came in both date and no-date versions.
I'm not knocking Rolex as I'm a Rolex customer, but the quality of that Omega looks just as good as Rolex offerings and technically better. I do prefer the design of the Submariner in most instances over the Seamaster, but the Omega 300 mc is a game changer for me. Definitely one I look to add to my collection.
@Mert Kabakci Will say, as an owner with calipers, only the bezel is 41mm. The case itself is 39 wide by 48 long. It's not even that thick; both the top and back crystals are domed, so they add quite a bit of height, but the metal to metal measurements are 12mm. Virtually identical to the Submariner. Omega usually measures by the bezel, to their loss (see: speedmaster reduced "35mm")
Another great review, this is my favorite Omega. Glad they brought this model back, but I felt like they should had kept it going since the original. That way it would had rival the Submariner in heritage and continuity.
I think it’s got vintage charm and lots of character. So many dive watches these days are starting to look very generic. This piece has an understated cool. It’s really not trying too hard to get your attention but will wink at you when it catches the light right. As for patina, my take is that it will just add to the lived in vintage look. Sometimes when watches are just too pristine they look wrong. A dive watch showing it’s wear is a cool thing for a tool watch. A super shiny watch is more fitting to a clinical business environment. This one is built for jeans and a bike jacket. Right up my street.
Only thing I’d change about this watch is I’d replace the master co axial chronometer writing with Seamaster 300 but I guess they save that for the Trilogy version.
I have to admit that I'm an Omega Guy, as most if not all Rolexes leave me cold. That said, this Seamaster 300 is a nice re-imagining of the original. Not so sure about the aged radium (pronounced RAY-dee-um in the US, lol) lume though. I have it on a Steinhart OVM and its peachy color drives me nuts. On this watch it appears more brownish/tan and is less offensive to my eye. Would I pick this over a Planet Ocean? Probably not, but I appreciate the attention to detail that Omega devoted to this watch. Great review as always, Bruce!
Lee K thanks Lee. I must admit I have a hard time pronouncing things right on camera. I've been making a conscious effort to say 'height' and not 'heighth' but I still get that wrong most times. I'll ad Ray-dium to the list :D
Nice vid and lovely watch .....its very expensive - I would consider it but that polished bracelet kills it for me - the brushed of the planet ocean would look better on it in my own view. Would be sick on the right distressed leather tho....
I think the dial is visually superior to the updated 2021 model. It retains the heritage of the original 1957 model really well, whereas the 2021 model looks overdone but also too simple simultaneously.
Hello, could you give some opinions on this Seamaster and the Tudor Black Bay that you compared with the Seamaster Profession while ago? I am currently in great debate bw this Seamaster and the Tudor BB. Thank you

Nice review. I just bought a 300M (2018 refresh with wave dial) and I’m loving it. Omega are killing it right now.
I love this watch . So simple so classy and very accurate
Being a seamaster 300 pro owner already I honestly think I’d take this over a subby to add to the collection... Absolutley stunning!
I have both the smp and this 300.... they're perfect watches to own together.
First!! You have no idea how long I have been waiting for a review of this watch. Thankfully you reviewed it. Great review!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
What a beauty. So much nicer than the former (Brosnan) model.
Would look very nice next to my sub no date. Two timeless pieces.
Thanks for your review. I ended buying one. I love the cream colored markers! I predict these watch will become super popular once they are out of production. Omega perfection!
Everywatch i get must at least have a date window. But this Seamaster 300 is an exception. I love the vintage flare to it
I have this watch and it sits really nice on the wrist. It is a dress diver watch if that is a style of watch now. The more I wear it the more I like it. The movement is a masterpiece.

Mine runs about +1/2 a second day, so the accuracy is outstanding. At $6600 dollars, it is ahead of other watches in the same price range, or 35% higher.
Just interested to see how you are getting on with the Seamaster after a couple of years of wear. Thanks.

Very good review. After getting the blue Omega Master Co-Axial Aqua Terra which is a great watch in its own right, I'm hoping this Seamaster 300 will be my next watch purchase.
Great watch but it has a few flaws that could be improved. An applied Omega logo would be nice. It would give a little bit more debt to the dial. It would also give it a little bit more luxurios dial, because the dial is all printed. The seconds hand is indeed the wrong colour and too white. It should be the same as the other hands. Maybe with a small lume pip. The bracelet is great but the polished center links are a mistake. Brushed center links would be better. I understand that this is a vintage diver and that Omega wanted to stay close to the original but the improvements that I mentioned would have been allright imho. Great review Bruce. It is still a beautiful watch that is still on my radar. It is hard to choose between this one and the Speedmaster professional moonwatch.
I think it looks perfect!
The 15mm case thickness is a deal breaker.
Its 14.7. so, no problem!
Doesn't wear thick. Pretty close to my super sub with a quarter under it.
@@bouncinbeau good to know. They quote 15.5mm but who knows. Have been holding off purchasing the two tone rose gold version due to the thickness of it.
Nope. It wears much thinner.
I thought it was thick but no. Couldn't be any happier now.
Beautiful. Omega should offer a version with a date function in place of the Arabic No. 3 on the dial. I believe the original watch came in both date and no-date versions.
It's the seamaster I choose and agree its wonderful. Only gripes are the thickness little bit much and the polished surfaces wish was more brushed.
I'm not knocking Rolex as I'm a Rolex customer, but the quality of that Omega looks just as good as Rolex offerings and technically better. I do prefer the design of the Submariner in most instances over the Seamaster, but the Omega 300 mc is a game changer for me. Definitely one I look to add to my collection.
The loom on this one is a tritium color which is better than the darker radium color of the trilogy imo
Would love it with a date window!
Beautiful watch you know I might get one of them 👍
They are nice mate. Especially for a good price
I wish they made a mid size 36mm version
@Mert Kabakci Will say, as an owner with calipers, only the bezel is 41mm. The case itself is 39 wide by 48 long. It's not even that thick; both the top and back crystals are domed, so they add quite a bit of height, but the metal to metal measurements are 12mm. Virtually identical to the Submariner. Omega usually measures by the bezel, to their loss (see: speedmaster reduced "35mm")
Impressive watch and great review
That clasp is awesome. I fitted one to my Planet Ocean. As for the watch, it's gorgeous but a bit thick... yeah. It is.
Curse of the tri level co axial escapement
saw it in person and this watch way better looking
Another great review, this is my favorite Omega. Glad they brought this model back, but I felt like they should had kept it going since the original. That way it would had rival the Submariner in heritage and continuity.
the 'seamaster' name definitely has been all over the place. Kind of a shame
"I felt like they should had kept it going since the original."
Indeed!
I love Omega a little more every day.
I think it’s got vintage charm and lots of character. So many dive watches these days are starting to look very generic. This piece has an understated cool. It’s really not trying too hard to get your attention but will wink at you when it catches the light right. As for patina, my take is that it will just add to the lived in vintage look. Sometimes when watches are just too pristine they look wrong. A dive watch showing it’s wear is a cool thing for a tool watch. A super shiny watch is more fitting to a clinical business environment. This one is built for jeans and a bike jacket. Right up my street.
Only thing I’d change about this watch is I’d replace the master co axial chronometer writing with Seamaster 300 but I guess they save that for the Trilogy version.
Such a great looking watch and informative video. Well done Bruce ,I tip my hat to you. Bravo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Andy! Means a lot
I have to admit that I'm an Omega Guy, as most if not all Rolexes leave me cold. That said, this Seamaster 300 is a nice re-imagining of the original. Not so sure about the aged radium (pronounced RAY-dee-um in the US, lol) lume though. I have it on a Steinhart OVM and its peachy color drives me nuts. On this watch it appears more brownish/tan and is less offensive to my eye. Would I pick this over a Planet Ocean? Probably not, but I appreciate the attention to detail that Omega devoted to this watch. Great review as always, Bruce!
Lee K thanks Lee. I must admit I have a hard time pronouncing things right on camera. I've been making a conscious effort to say 'height' and not 'heighth' but I still get that wrong most times. I'll ad Ray-dium to the list :D
Looks incredible in all respects, very advanced technical movement, but lacks the date just feature, which is considered as a majour drawback.
It's a vintage inspired diver, they're not supposed to have a date.
Congrats for the video Bruce. Which one do you prefer? This one or the new 2021 model??
Awesome awesome watch! Dangerous for my account balance though...
I like their co-axial movement. Terrific intro.
Thanks Rich!
Nice vid and lovely watch .....its very expensive - I would consider it but that polished bracelet kills it for me - the brushed of the planet ocean would look better on it in my own view. Would be sick on the right distressed leather tho....
Great Review/ Video...Hey; Whats up with the markers changing color at 9:23 ??????
I think the dial is visually superior to the updated 2021 model. It retains the heritage of the original 1957 model really well, whereas the 2021 model looks overdone but also too simple simultaneously.
Great watch review. Thanks for posting.
Hello, could you give some opinions on this Seamaster and the Tudor Black Bay that you compared with the Seamaster Profession while ago? I am currently in great debate bw this Seamaster and the Tudor BB. Thank you
Your review I liked, did you not find the strap size a little small for the face? Aldo, what other watch would you recommend in its place? Bb
Its a beauty Bruce... now pls try to get your hands on the new Globemaster with tungsten bezel... Cheerio. Doc from South Africa
I'll keep my eye out for the opportunity man
Thanks for keeping this a fair and balanced review. Nicely done! I would be all over this watch if it wasn't so damn tall.
True, it is pretty tall :(
Do you have the reference for this piece? Gorgeous.
