There have been posted so many remarks on the bezel of the new Seamster 300m 007Edition. Herewith I would like to give you some additional information and probably answer to some questions you might have: Why did Omega use an aluminium inlay in the titanium bezel? The color was the reason! In ceramic the color would not have been the same and therefore a ceramic inlay in the titanium bezel would have "killed" the so cool look of the diver. What kind of aluminium did Omega use? It is oxalic aluminium with a surface hardness of 500 Vickers. Regular aluminum has a surface hardness of 200-250 Vickers. To compared some other materials: "Titanium Grade 2" = 350 Vickers / "Steel 316L" = 200 Vickers /yellow gold 18 carat = 210 Vickers / platinum 950Pt = 140-150 Vickers Will the aluminium surface of the inlay in the titanium bezel easily scratch? Not really, when the watch is used under normal conditions. There will even be less scratches than on a "316L" steel watch... Of course ceramic would have been harder (1200 to 1500 Vickers), but I don't think that this surface hardness is necessary on a normal watch. And the build-up of some patina will transform the Seamster 300m 007Edition to be unique after wearing it... Any more questions? Please let me know!
I highly appreciate that there's no limited edition, thank you. I like limited edition peices but it makes it almost impossible for a normal person to be able to find or afford one.
Dear Jean Claude. Since it is not a limited edition, please lower the RRP and throw in the Nato strap for the bracelet version. Upgrade the bezel to ceramic.
Omega delivers best possible quality, yet is ahead of time with its Master Chronometer Certified watches, and cool design for reasonable prices. Many good reasons IMHO to choose an Omega 😉
Lovely watch, great vintage inspired motif's for the new Bond release. But please, please Omega, could you return some Mid-size Seamaster's to the collection? Since the latests SMP's measure 42mm's, the Mid-Size's could be 38-39mm's. With the current technology, colours, materials and excellent manufacturing, these pieces would be absolutely incredible! Thanks for always bringing us great content Alexander
Trends are shifting back again to the sub-40mm. I'll not be surprised to start seeing 36-39mm releases soon! How long does it take from design to market? Maybe this year we'll start seeing something?2021?
Bought my current Seamaster in 2002 and have worn it everyday since. Never felt the need to buy any other watch since then. I think the time has come to buy another watch and this piece (in my opinion) is perfect!
D Sagar Let me know if you have any additional questions... Did you already go for a touch and feel? You should... I am sure you will like the diver even more afterwards
I have this watch and I love it. If you are not into vintage then it's not for you but it has that character. Very understated and that's the way I like it. Wears light on the wrist naturally but the clasp should be smaller.
michaelemami The First Seamster 300m 007Edition were delivered to the ADs and boutiques already. So whenever it is possible (again) for you, that’s the best you can do. But be sure to „protect“ your credit-card 😉
Finally Omega make a sapphire crystal that looks good as good a hesalite with a smooth curve. Oris with the Divers 65 has also managed to do this for years. Wonder if you can put one of those on a Speedmaster. Thanks for great video 👍
Gareth C yeah exactly! I have the FOIS and the sharp “edge” of the sapphire crystal really compromise the vintage charm. Hesalite looks soo much better. I like the fact that the sapphire is so much durable then hesalite so I would love to replace my crystal with a smooth doomed sapphire like the one on the new Bond Seamaster.
No box you say.... But what about that at 0:19? Sure looks like a box to me with all the accessories such as a loupe and all... Will the watch come like that?
Thank you very much, Sir, it`s a really wonderful watch. My first "luxury" watch in 1996 was the OMEGA Seamaster 300m (with a perpetual movement), because of the awesome and brilliant "New 007", Pierce Brosnan. I still love this watch, but i think i`ll get her modern "Sister" in 2020 ;-) Salut and best regards from Germany, Tom...
Good idea! One is never enough and this new Bond Seamaster is particular. As I learn by reading the various comments the look is polarizing ... Well, that means Omega did it’s homework and presented a very cool timepiece...
Please find all technical data and prices of the new OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 42 mm 007 Edition in the description of the video. If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer them...
WatchAdvisor great Video as usual ❤️ just one thing to reconfirm, they put Anti Reflection costing on the back side only to look more vintage, right? Any special military requirement for that? If yes, why?
@@Mohammedalyafeimusic No, that's just to make the watch more vintage. With a coating on both sides you get the impression that there is no glass at all. And this was not the case on older watches...
Hello Alexander. Great video and very interesting guest. I was wondering if there is a NON-Omega supplier that I can buy the NATO STRAP that the new "OMEGA No Time To Die watch" has with a similar dark brown, gray and beige striped colour scheme. Thanks and Cheers ! www.jamesbondlifestyle.com/sites/default/files/ckeditor/images/news/191204-omega-seamaster-300m-diver-no-time-to-die-strap-472.jpg
This watch has grown on me. It has an interesting bracelet. It is technically very competent. Instead of trying to hide the date they just left it off. But what really intrigues me is that it is FUN! It's a fun watch! And in a very coherent way. In a way that doesn't detract from Omega's or Seamaster's heritage, but rather celebrates it. I even like the fake-aged lume on this one. It's not trying to look vintage, so they went with a more pleasant hue than some of the somewhat sad, but accurate, hues on some of the reissues. Nice vid @WatchAdvisor !
I very much like your approach! Straight forward & honest! This is how it should be, this is the way one should see the new Seamster 300m 007Edition! Thanks for sharing and let me know if you have any questions!
Love the watch and i am glad they have made a bold move to make the bezel aluminium not ceramic so it can get scratched. Strong and i respect that. Really want to feel the weight difference. I want this watch so bad, best start saving so i can add it to the collection.
Olly White The weight of the case is 59 grams, with the mesh bracelet 97 grams... you will be astonished how lite this Seamster 300m 007Edition is... The aluminum inlay in the the titanium bezel has a surface hardness of 500 Vickers. Let me know if you probably have any other questions...
This is a beauty. I find it challenging to rise to the price when a standard SM is almost 50% less though. If titanium is not that important to some customers but they like the look and prefer the standard SM pricing, could there be a stainless steel version in the future? It might not have to look exactly the same so as not to annoy the screen accurate collectors but something very similar would be great
Only time will tell... Since this 2020 Bond watch will stay in the collection until the next 007 movie will come to the cinemas IMHO it is not very likely though ...
WatchAdvisor thank you for the response. My problem is I want both the ceramic blue one and this one! Very different looks and I Can’t get both 😄.....yet!
I had it in my hands when I filmed the Bond watch. Some last modifications will be made then 1000 pieces per year are going to be shipped to the ADs and boutiques... This Speedmaster is also on my bucket list!
When I saw this wonderful piece I again thought: Omega nailed it again👍🏻 I like the Milanaise bracelet and the colour of the indices😍 Elegant, robust and sporty: in other words perfect Bond watch, wish I owned this one👍🏻 I think it will be a hacking tool in the next movie🤓
Marvi Haemmer The watch will probably deal with an immense magnetic 🧲 field ... I can’t wait to see the movie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
I am waiting for the day that Omega will do a remake of the first Bond watch. The blue Seamaster 300m with ceramic bezel and the blue wave pattern in ceramic. 😁 for me that would be something.
I grew up with Bond.... I turned 65 this year, watched the Daniel Craig Bond movies.... love them! My watch collection is quite full, need to sell some to make room for this fine watch. Wish it had the British WW2 Mil-Spec hands (collector preferred).
I was given an Omega Speedmaster Professional as a BD gift just ten (10) days after Buzz Aldrin was the first human to wear a watch on the moon. I'm assuming it was built in about Oct. 1968 as one of the early .861 models. My 16 year old beautiful girlfriend who worked at Bamberger's, now Macy's, got a 20% employee discount on it. She paid about $275 U.S. for it back in 1969. I still wear the watch but not on a daily basis. It was returned to Omega for a tune up back in the early 90s so it's still pretty accurate, about a minute a week or so. But back in early 1990s I had my Speedmaster "tuned up" by sending it to Omega Watch Company in N.Y.C. where for an additional $300.00 U.S. Omega gave me an upgraded stainless steel wrist band. They also gave me a newer and harder "hesalite" crystal and newer "pushers" with rubber seals. However, they returned the original softer Hasilite cover and the pushers and the rubber seals in a separate small plastic bag. They also returned parts of the original wristband. But they did not return the original "sweep second hand" which had "tritium" radioactive flakes that were breaking off the sweep second hand. Instead they replaced the original sweep second hand with a 1990's version. But they kept the original faceplate with the original tritium radioactive faceplate indicators. My Speedmaster is about 99 percent original except for the original sweep second hand. The newer 1990's style wristband doesn't make a lot of a difference because back in the day, most guys wore the watch the way Gene Kranz did, with a velcro wrist band, the same way the Apollo astronauts did. So here is my question. A brand new Omega Speedmaster at the Short Hills Mall in Livingston N.J. will cost about $5,600 as of Feb. 2020. So what is a "pre-Lunar" .861 Omega Speedmaster Professional in very good condition worth today? By the way, for $150.00 U.S. I was told I could send a picture of my Speedy's serial number to Omega in Switzerland and I will be able to learn the day my watch was built and the name of the person who put it together. Is it worth the money to learn those details? Shouldn't Omega already be willing to give me that information since my Speedmaster is Pre-Lunar and over 50 years old as of today, 2.3.2020?
What an interesting story to read! Thank you so much for sharing! I will forward your comment to Raynald Aeschlimann, CEO of Omega. Please do me a favour: Never sell your Speedmaster whatever it might be worth today. This particular watch is loaded with tons of personal history. Something you should keep in your family for all times... Can you sen me an email alexander(ad)watchadvisor.com so I can forward it to Raynald...
@@WatchAdvisor I will send you my personal email so long as as you keep to somewhat private. I have decided not to sell my watch. I've decided to give it to my son who has been instructed to give it to my "future grandson" someday. BTW, when I was a student at FIT (Florida Institute of Technology) near Cape Canaveral (Cape Kennedy) as a freshman in 1970 there was a fellow fraternity brother of "Omega Psi" (isn't that a coincidence?) who also wore a similar Speedmaster. It would be difficult, but not impossible to find him and wonder if he too retained his pre-Lunar Speedmaster. BTW, here is a tidbit of information not all current Speedmasters know. Because the sweep second hand was always pointed at "zero" and the Speedmaster was one the largest watchs worn by men in the early 1970s, most people who observed our watches would say "hey, your watch stopped working". They never knew what a "sweeped" second hand was meant for.
@@WatchAdvisor I've just sent you my email address at "AOL.com". It's my old email address that I allow only for general purposes. However, I've sent it to you with the hope that I can later give you my more personal email address that won't be spread all over the web. Thank you in advance for your interest.
@@daffidavit I could read such stories for hours! Thank you so much for sharing! Incredible! I will of course keep your email address private and only forward it to Raynald... To keep this wonderful Speedmaster in your family is a great decision and that you instructed your son to pass it to your future grandson is causing me to get goosebumps! Well done! GREAT! I love my audience! It's the best audience in the world! 😉
This is a fantastic story, and I echo the urgings of this channel: never sell that watch! So much deep personal history there. Can I ask what became of your girlfriend from that time?
The only thing I could point out to this almost perfect watch are the hands. The skeleton hands are part of the Seamaster Diver 300m but if this is paying homage to the original MoD-issued model, Omega could have released it with the sword hands à la 2254.50.00.
@@WatchAdvisor nope. Here in Brasil there is a quite few dealers but... I gonna see soon at a friend's wrist which manager one. Cheers btw, I have a 266 and a Moon watch 65! Omega rocks
Hello, first of all, I am very happy to have found you. I was thinking about whether to buy this watch or not. After the video, I definitely decided to buy it. Thank you very much
A really awesome timepiece, I love the vintage asthetics, it's compact size and the beautiful bracelet. Only the aluminum bezel is a bit of a lack, especially for the price.
Well that’s what it should be. This Seamster 300m 007Edition is a very particular Seamster linked to a fictive character in a blockbuster movie... Yes, this Omega is very cool, I couldn’t agree more!
I love Omega, it’s a great brand. However, sometimes I don’t understand their logic. The new Bond watch is 3.5K more than the standard models and doesn’t come with a case. Surely those minor differences don’t justify the additional 3.5K? The Speedmaster Moon watch comes with an incredible presentation case and several cool gadgets for half the price? 🤷🏻♂️
interesting read. Thanks for sharing! For the Seamaster 300m 007Edition other rules apply. Best is to see all the watches you talked about in real and compare them... You will thereafter better understand what I mean...
Jesus, look I see ur enthusiastic but let the man speak don’t speak over him. Please you are his guest he is you’re opportunity to become a bigger platform. Be more respectful next time
I like the warm colors and don't mind the faux patina, but I don't like how it combines very modern design elements (most notably size) with these heritage/vintage elements.
Keep in mind that this still is a modern watch and that the Seamaster itself is not a small wristwatch. So already in terms of reshaping the case this would have been a nightmare and probably not liked by all those being used to the dimension of the normal Seamaster models...
I do like this model a lot, but can’t understand why they wouldn’t use grade 5 titanium for a special piece like this, it would be stronger etc is it to save money because it doesn’t need to be polished?
There might have been different reasons... One was for sure not: Save money! Omega designed the Seamster 300m 007Edition to be was it is, by using the incrediences it took to achieve that goal... The make and the quality of that watch is without a flaw! Please read the pinned comment at the beginning g to also get some insights about the materials used by Omega..
@@WatchAdvisor Sehr! Die ist schon klasse und sieht bestimmt auch an vielen verschiedenen Bändern toll aus. Danke für die Vorstellung und an Jean-Claude Monachon, dass er sich die Zeit genommen hat. 👍
I’ve noticed a lot of hate on this watch and I don’t blame them as when I first saw the picture on December, i hated it. But everyday is started growing on me more and more and now I think I want it. I’m just having a hard time deciding as this will be my last watch for my collection for a long time and it was supposed to be the Apollo 8, but now this comes out and I’m loving it....
Disappointing caseback. You would assume there would be more 007 memorabilia, but it's just numbers stating it's a diver watch. You can look at the front and see it's a diver watch as well. Why take up so much room, in the case 7-10 digits, to say it's a diver watch in some poor attempt at being mysterious? The spiral 007 logo would have been cool, like in the other 007 themed seamasters. Other than that, I love this watch. That is a phenomenal design at a mesh bracelet. Along side the logo where the date window used to be.
I hear you! Thanks for sharing and your input... Still go for a touch and feel, I am sure you will like that Seamster 300m 007Edition even more afterwards...
I wonder why Omega don't offer more "no date" versions... Imagine how much cleaner the dial of (say) the blue or the white Seamaster 300s would look without that ugly date window!
In my eyes the Seamaster 300 Master Coaxial is the perfect Bond watch, as featured in Spectre but the standard, not the limited edition. No super spy wear a tag saying here i am. Yet the standard SM300MC with either the brown leather strap, or the 21mm rubber strap that you can also purchase, just have to know its product number, offers brilliant value for money and functionality in my eyes. Yes it's not a rolex, but no rolex is worth the money they sell for.
James Bond is a fictive character, therefore other rules apply... I reality things are different of course, but this is James Bond and not the daily routine of MI6... The actual Seamaster 300m 007Edition IMHO is simply a perfect watch...
@@WatchAdvisor The new bond omega is a nice watch, but for me, like i said the SM300MC is the one. Obviously with straps swapped, i wore it for running, biking, working, shooting, gokarting, with a white shirt, with a more casual attire, and no matter what i threw at it, it just handled it brilliantly. The lume could be better, but that can be forgiven. It is a perfect blend of old and new. The new bond seamaster is nice, but for me it feels more limited, and for the price they charge, i'll add a few more grand, and get a day-date, which is what i'm in the process of doing so. We all have different needs for our watches, so that's my view:)
I hear you! You like watches and you enjoy them that’s how it should be... The new Bond watch is pretty special and only time will tell if it was the right choice or not. I am pretty positive though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Stay tuned since there is a lot in the pipeline here 😉
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you for your thoughts too. I'm certainly staying tuned. Have you considered covering a story, i haven't actually seen anybody do yet? Michael Schumacher and Omega. How it all started, was it just the money, he chose omega, or personal preference too. Has he had true input on any of their models etc. I actually got into omega because of Michael, and he was the reason why i bought a 1996 speedmaster Mk40. But i ended up loving the watch and he had nothing to do with that:) A very lovely piece, with tons of functions for very little money.
Schuhmacher would be a very interesting subject if the poor guy didn’t have that accident. Sometimes you really question yourself why does it hit so often the good guys? I’d better not touch the story for the moment. May Michael one day give his first press conference and let us know that he is well again...
Alex...Thanks for still going strong and producing Best content 🙌 I have the Seamaster 300 Ceramic and it is a stunning watch and so is this in titanium... I buying the new 321 steel but if I hadn’t this new titanium would have been high on my list. Omega is the best.... however I have a Question form you :) If Omega only did the original dark side of the moon and not all the rest do you think that it could have become The “Daytona” of Omega?
That could in fact have been the case... But Omega was tempted to play around with the different phases of the moon... They are all beautiful watches and I would have a hard time choosing one...
A secret agent wearing a Ministry of Defense issued watch....hmmm. Not the kind of giveaway that I was hoping for from omega ;) Very cool ambiance to the review and I am feeling a bit of humor from Omega that this is not a limited edition :)
That Seamaster is a very particular diver. Part of the next 007 adventure and on top a watch you simply might like and buy... Different and unique I would say...
Very nice video - Thank you! I'm a very proud owner of two fantastic Globemasters and I will for sure get this one some day. It is a great looking watch.
Thank you very much, I am happy to read this. Let me know if you have any questions... Meanwhile I wish you that your two Globemaster will always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours...
Having seen some other vids on this piece too, i do think that the bracelet clasp/closing solution seems overengineered. It looks great, but my cheapo mesh bracelets are infinitely adjustable and this one seems to work with holes that are spaced out quite widely. I wonder if this is the case or if im mistaken.
The "clasp/closing solution" as you call it is not over engineered! That's how you do it when you want to offer a solid and also good looking execution to your clients... If you have the possibility, go and try it... you will thereafter think different... 😉
Omega Seamaster has to be the best looking luxury dive watch available. These beautiful watches out class the Rolex Sub by a mile, to wear an Omega Seamaster 300 on your wrist you know it has come out of the Ocean ready for the Dressed Dinner or Board Room...shear class.
It’s a beautiful watch. So much so that this Rolex collector pre-ordered one at full price. But I wish that Omega fans would just enjoy their passion for these great watches without the needless tribal comparisons. The very act shows weakness. This isn’t a zero sum game where this watch can only be as good as the Sub is bad. They can both exists and be spectacular on their own. Cheers.
Huxley, Orwell & Rand Very good comment! Please give me a hand especially when I have these Rolex-fanboys here treating “their” brand like a religion and what they write as a religious dogma...
WatchAdvisor you are 100% on point. We humans tend toward tribalism and the Rolex fans are a particularly rabid bunch, hence the insanity in that market right now. There is room enough for all of us. I also love redheads, but a brunette will do in a pinch-If you know what I mean.
Love it, love the colors which are much like the Tudor Black Bay. I'd have to have a ceramic bezel at this level though I would want a watch of this price point to look new for as long as possible. No ceramic option?
No ceramic option, because it was not possible to achieve these "vintage"-colors in ceramic. So Omega decided to use an aluminium inlay in the titanium-bezel instead. What kind of aluminium did Omega use? It is oxalic aluminium with a surface hardness of 500 Vickers. Regular aluminum has a surface hardness of 200-250 Vickers.
And they inovated what exactly, mesh band copied from breitling, design allso, very breitling look alike, and that buckle is hideous. Co-axial is from daniels not omegas, they inovated nothing, just stamp watches out, watch with titanium caliber for 50.000 euro is that inovation? NO.....crap omega.
There have been posted so many remarks on the bezel of the new Seamster 300m 007Edition. Herewith I would like to give you some additional information and probably answer to some questions you might have:

I am not sure we will see this on the original Speedmaster... Hesalite is part of the history of this icon ... Thanks for your positive feedback!
@@WatchAdvisor I think he was talking out the domed sapphire crystals on the speedmasters with the milky edges you can't unsee.
Gareth C yeah exactly! I have the FOIS and the sharp “edge” of the sapphire crystal really compromise the vintage charm. Hesalite looks soo much better. I like the fact that the sapphire is so much durable then hesalite so I would love to replace my crystal with a smooth doomed sapphire like the one on the new Bond Seamaster.
No box you say.... But what about that at 0:19? Sure looks like a box to me with all the accessories such as a loupe and all... Will the watch come like that?
No, the watch will not be sold with this "box". This is an internal presentation kit of Omega...
Thank you very much, Sir, it`s a really wonderful watch.

WatchAdvisor great Video as usual ❤️ just one thing to reconfirm, they put Anti Reflection costing on the back side only to look more vintage, right? Any special military requirement for that? If yes, why?
@@Mohammedalyafeimusic No, that's just to make the watch more vintage. With a coating on both sides you get the impression that there is no glass at all. And this was not the case on older watches...
I like the "Dirty dozen watches" symbol in the dial. I believe that not many people know what it is.
Hello Alexander. Great video and very interesting guest. I was wondering if there is a NON-Omega supplier that I can buy the NATO STRAP that the new "OMEGA No Time To Die watch" has with a similar dark brown, gray and beige striped colour scheme. Thanks and Cheers !

This watch has grown on me. It has an interesting bracelet. It is technically very competent. Instead of trying to hide the date they just left it off. But what really intrigues me is that it is FUN! It's a fun watch! And in a very coherent way. In a way that doesn't detract from Omega's or Seamaster's heritage, but rather celebrates it. I even like the fake-aged lume on this one. It's not trying to look vintage, so they went with a more pleasant hue than some of the somewhat sad, but accurate, hues on some of the reissues. Nice vid @WatchAdvisor !
I very much like your approach! Straight forward & honest! This is how it should be, this is the way one should see the new Seamster 300m 007Edition! Thanks for sharing and let me know if you have any questions!
Love the watch and i am glad they have made a bold move to make the bezel aluminium not ceramic so it can get scratched. Strong and i respect that. Really want to feel the weight difference. I want this watch so bad, best start saving so i can add it to the collection.
Olly White The weight of the case is 59 grams, with the mesh bracelet 97 grams... you will be astonished how lite this Seamster 300m 007Edition is... The aluminum inlay in the the titanium bezel has a surface hardness of 500 Vickers. Let me know if you probably have any other questions...
Can’t wait for mine to come in hoping next month
Brad Norris Whenever you have yours write us a review please...
WatchAdvisor will do!
Brad Norris The greatest pleasure lies in the anticipation! Enjoy every second 😉
What a delightful interview. I was thinking Oris Sixty Five- now I must wait and see. Thanks again.
gynechiatrist Go for the new Omega Seamaster 007 edition! This watch here definitely plays in another league... Just my two cents!
This is a beauty. I find it challenging to rise to the price when a standard SM is almost 50% less though. If titanium is not that important to some customers but they like the look and prefer the standard SM pricing, could there be a stainless steel version in the future? It might not have to look exactly the same so as not to annoy the screen accurate collectors but something very similar would be great
Only time will tell... Since this 2020 Bond watch will stay in the collection until the next 007 movie will come to the cinemas IMHO it is not very likely though ...
WatchAdvisor thank you for the response. My problem is I want both the ceramic blue one and this one! Very different looks and I Can’t get both 😄.....yet!
What an introduction! Now I will watch the video before commenting further...
He he! That's how it should be! Yes, be impressed in the very first seconds...
Great presentation. I just love Omega, they have such a good line up at the moment. But the favorite is the 321 Speedy now.
I had it in my hands when I filmed the Bond watch. Some last modifications will be made then 1000 pieces per year are going to be shipped to the ADs and boutiques... This Speedmaster is also on my bucket list!
@@WatchAdvisor Yeah, I need one. Thank God, my wife still thinks all my watches are around 2500 bucks, as I tell her : )
@@midas1929 He he! 2500? There we go... 😆
Stunning piece.
Not limited this time! 😉
When I saw this wonderful piece I again thought: Omega nailed it again👍🏻 I like the Milanaise bracelet and the colour of the indices😍 Elegant, robust and sporty: in other words perfect Bond watch, wish I owned this one👍🏻 I think it will be a hacking tool in the next movie🤓
Marvi Haemmer The watch will probably deal with an immense magnetic 🧲 field ... I can’t wait to see the movie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
WatchAdvisor Thanks, you‘re welcome✌🏻
Just got mine today with both Nato and Titanium bands, truly amazing timepiece.
Congratulations! Bravo! May your Seamaster always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours ...
@@WatchAdvisor thanks
beautiful watch ..and good intro
Love your comment!
i love it, love the mesh strap and the use of titanium
gary burley Now I’d recommend you to go for a touch and feel to discover its weight... That’s an incredible feeling I can tell you...
I am waiting for the day that Omega will do a remake of the first Bond watch. The blue Seamaster 300m with ceramic bezel and the blue wave pattern in ceramic. 😁 for me that would be something.
I grew up with Bond.... I turned 65 this year, watched the Daniel Craig Bond movies.... love them! My watch collection is quite full, need to sell some to make room for this fine watch. Wish it had the British WW2 Mil-Spec hands (collector preferred).
Love your comment! But be sure to think twice before selling one of your ticking babies, you might regret it afterwards...
I was given an Omega Speedmaster Professional as a BD gift just ten (10) days after Buzz Aldrin was the first human to wear a watch on the moon. I'm assuming it was built in about Oct. 1968 as one of the early .861 models. My 16 year old beautiful girlfriend who worked at Bamberger's, now Macy's, got a 20% employee discount on it. She paid about $275 U.S. for it back in 1969. I still wear the watch but not on a daily basis. It was returned to Omega for a tune up back in the early 90s so it's still pretty accurate, about a minute a week or so.
But back in early 1990s I had my Speedmaster "tuned up" by sending it to Omega Watch Company in N.Y.C. where for an additional $300.00 U.S. Omega gave me an upgraded stainless steel wrist band. They also gave me a newer and harder "hesalite" crystal and newer "pushers" with rubber seals. However, they returned the original softer Hasilite cover and the pushers and the rubber seals in a separate small plastic bag. They also returned parts of the original wristband. But they did not return the original "sweep second hand" which had "tritium" radioactive flakes that were breaking off the sweep second hand. Instead they replaced the original sweep second hand with a 1990's version. But they kept the original faceplate with the original tritium radioactive faceplate indicators.
My Speedmaster is about 99 percent original except for the original sweep second hand. The newer 1990's style wristband doesn't make a lot of a difference because back in the day, most guys wore the watch the way Gene Kranz did, with a velcro wrist band, the same way the Apollo astronauts did.
So here is my question. A brand new Omega Speedmaster at the Short Hills Mall in Livingston N.J. will cost about $5,600 as of Feb. 2020. So what is a "pre-Lunar" .861 Omega Speedmaster Professional in very good condition worth today? By the way, for $150.00 U.S. I was told I could send a picture of my Speedy's serial number to Omega in Switzerland and I will be able to learn the day my watch was built and the name of the person who put it together. Is it worth the money to learn those details? Shouldn't Omega already be willing to give me that information since my Speedmaster is Pre-Lunar and over 50 years old as of today, 2.3.2020?
What an interesting story to read! Thank you so much for sharing! I will forward your comment to Raynald Aeschlimann, CEO of Omega. Please do me a favour: Never sell your Speedmaster whatever it might be worth today. This particular watch is loaded with tons of personal history. Something you should keep in your family for all times... Can you sen me an email alexander(ad)watchadvisor.com so I can forward it to Raynald...
@@WatchAdvisor I will send you my personal email so long as as you keep to somewhat private. I have decided not to sell my watch. I've decided to give it to my son who has been instructed to give it to my "future grandson" someday. BTW, when I was a student at FIT (Florida Institute of Technology) near Cape Canaveral (Cape Kennedy) as a freshman in 1970 there was a fellow fraternity brother of "Omega Psi" (isn't that a coincidence?) who also wore a similar Speedmaster. It would be difficult, but not impossible to find him and wonder if he too retained his pre-Lunar Speedmaster.
BTW, here is a tidbit of information not all current Speedmasters know. Because the sweep second hand was always pointed at "zero" and the Speedmaster was one the largest watchs worn by men in the early 1970s, most people who observed our watches would say "hey, your watch stopped working". They never knew what a "sweeped" second hand was meant for.
@@WatchAdvisor I've just sent you my email address at "AOL.com". It's my old email address that I allow only for general purposes. However, I've sent it to you with the hope that I can later give you my more personal email address that won't be spread all over the web. Thank you in advance for your interest.
@@daffidavit I could read such stories for hours! Thank you so much for sharing! Incredible! I will of course keep your email address private and only forward it to Raynald... To keep this wonderful Speedmaster in your family is a great decision and that you instructed your son to pass it to your future grandson is causing me to get goosebumps! Well done! GREAT! I love my audience! It's the best audience in the world! 😉
This is a fantastic story, and I echo the urgings of this channel: never sell that watch! So much deep personal history there. Can I ask what became of your girlfriend from that time?
It was the best video about James Bond series 👍
Thank you very much! Love your comment!
Purchased the watch recently . Love it .
Bravo! Congratulations! May your Seamaster always show you HAPYY seconds, minutes and hours ...
Thank you for the first look! I’m excited to see it in person.
Dutzu Miho Enjoy your touch and feel with the new Seamaster 300m 007Edition. Please let us afterwards know what your impressions were...
Love the bracelet.
Beautiful watch
IMHO the best James Bond watch so far!
The only thing I could point out to this almost perfect watch are the hands. The skeleton hands are part of the Seamaster Diver 300m but if this is paying homage to the original MoD-issued model, Omega could have released it with the sword hands à la 2254.50.00.
Agreed. Sword hands would be a hell of a lot more appropriate.
Mr James bond, did you just read my mind.? This is beautiful.!
The MI6 has its ears and eyes everywhere ... 😆
Love the dimensions! Love the fact of No Date window plus, loved the pouch case... Great
I hear you! Did you have the chance to see the Seamaster in real yet?
@@WatchAdvisor nope. Here in Brasil there is a quite few dealers but... I gonna see soon at a friend's wrist which manager one. Cheers btw, I have a 266 and a Moon watch 65! Omega rocks
Awesome video. Always one step ahead of everyone. Great stuff Alexander!!!
Love your comment! Thank you for sharing!
Hello, first of all, I am very happy to have found you. I was thinking about whether to buy this watch or not. After the video, I definitely decided to buy it. Thank you very much

Big fan of the channel. Have mine reserved at the local boutique, can’t wait to get my hands on it & look over the packaging in detail 😎
Love your comment! The pouch is gorgeous and smells like a Barbour jacket...
WatchAdvisor amazing, love the smell of fresh leather products. Reminds of me of being a kid and my dad getting some nice leather goods.
A really awesome timepiece, I love the vintage asthetics, it's compact size and the beautiful bracelet. Only the aluminum bezel is a bit of a lack, especially for the price.
Go for a touch and feel and let me know what you think about the new Seamaster thereafter...
Great video, thank you
Was fun to make it!
Love the watch....but hate the price tag.
Price tag is challenging, I agree... Please read some of my other comments to this topic...
damn this watch is love at first sight!
Well that’s what it should be. This Seamster 300m 007Edition is a very particular Seamster linked to a fictive character in a blockbuster movie... Yes, this Omega is very cool, I couldn’t agree more!
In the british forces the "broad arrow" stamp is colloquially known as the "crows foot"
bravoo for no limited edition omega... !! a good first step to no limited edition watches !
how many mm is the case ? ??
@@RickyRicon2023 42 mm - you can find all technical data in the description of the video ...
Yessss! Not limiting and/or limited by production is the much more elegant way of selling watches...
I love Omega, it’s a great brand. However, sometimes I don’t understand their logic. The new Bond watch is 3.5K more than the standard models and doesn’t come with a case. Surely those minor differences don’t justify the additional 3.5K? The Speedmaster Moon watch comes with an incredible presentation case and several cool gadgets for half the price? 🤷🏻♂️
interesting read. Thanks for sharing! For the Seamaster 300m 007Edition other rules apply. Best is to see all the watches you talked about in real and compare them... You will thereafter better understand what I mean...
That is absolutely gorgeous! Very nice.
I couldn't agree more!
Alex could you please stop talking over your guests. Much appreciated and thank you for the video. Cheers!
I know... That happens when you are recording live... I am an emotional person and I like what I am doing. Thanks for your feedback!
Yes, really annoying when you cut off your guest midsentence, also rude.
Jesus, look I see ur enthusiastic but let the man speak don’t speak over him. Please you are his guest he is you’re opportunity to become a bigger platform. Be more respectful next time
Did he said he got emotional because of your comment and request, and he likes to talk over his guest's?
The details on this video, amazing. Beautiful watch definitely upsold by the great review!
Love your comment ... thaaaaaank you very much 😉!
Nice! Thx for the details! 😁
you are welcome! Please let me know if you have additional questions...
I like the warm colors and don't mind the faux patina, but I don't like how it combines very modern design elements (most notably size) with these heritage/vintage elements.
Keep in mind that this still is a modern watch and that the Seamaster itself is not a small wristwatch. So already in terms of reshaping the case this would have been a nightmare and probably not liked by all those being used to the dimension of the normal Seamaster models...
Could people stop saying perfectly averagely sized watches are too big ? too big for you doesn't mean "too big"
Finally back to the real diving toolwatch look & feel, after a series of waved dial glitterball Seamaster wristwatches....
IMHO the new James Bond Seamster 300m perfectly reflects the action-packed atmosphere of the adventures of 007 ...
Nice watch, however I am no fan of both bracelets. A good vintage leather strap would be perfect for me. Great Video, Alex.
Thank you for the feedback!
I do like this model a lot, but can’t understand why they wouldn’t use grade 5 titanium for a special piece like this, it would be stronger etc is it to save money because it doesn’t need to be polished?
There might have been different reasons... One was for sure not: Save money! Omega designed the Seamster 300m 007Edition to be was it is, by using the incrediences it took to achieve that goal... The make and the quality of that watch is without a flaw! Please read the pinned comment at the beginning g to also get some insights about the materials used by Omega..
Different color
Really great video!!! 😀 🎉 I truly enjoyed it and learned quite a lot! 😍🇨🇭⌚
Love your comment! Thank you very much! If you have any additional questions please let me know...
Excellent content, fantastic piece; might be my first Omega.
Thank you very much! Let me know if you have any questions...
You’re stoopid if you buy this watch as your first omega.🤦🏻♂️
the mesh bracelet is very good 👍🏼 Would be nice if they also made a non-007, standard version, on mesh, with a date, I'd be interested in that.
I expect Omega to use that new bracelet later also on other watches... Time will tell...
very nice watch
Nice to see everybody can be a bit silly! Great video guys.
Jay, I love your comment! Thanks for sharing!
Alleine schon für das Intro Daumen hoch! 🤣
He he! Danke Dir! Gefällt Dir die neue Seamaster?
@@WatchAdvisor Sehr! Die ist schon klasse und sieht bestimmt auch an vielen verschiedenen Bändern toll aus. Danke für die Vorstellung und an Jean-Claude Monachon, dass er sich die Zeit genommen hat. 👍
Great watch!! But I like my SMP 300 ceramic bezel and the ceramic zr02 dial because I like a watch that looks new all the time.
My deposit is in! Can't wait!
I was told deliveries should start these days... Please let us know know what you think after your first touch and feel...
WatchAdvisor I’ll let you know when I do my unboxing video 👊
For me, if I get any scratches on my fancy watches, I feel it scratched my heart ❤️
Please read what I wrote to Robbie & Watches some minutes ago... Its patina, not scratches...
WatchAdvisor yes but in minutes 16’30” he was talking about bezel scratches
Mohammad Z Jean-Claude said “scratches” but in the end it’s patina...
Blows up a Rolex Warehouse and releases the stock ; )
He he! That’s a good one ... 🤣
I’ve noticed a lot of hate on this watch and I don’t blame them as when I first saw the picture on December, i hated it. But everyday is started growing on me more and more and now I think I want it. I’m just having a hard time deciding as this will be my last watch for my collection for a long time and it was supposed to be the Apollo 8, but now this comes out and I’m loving it....
Love your comment! Thanks for sharing with us... Let me know if you have any questions and/or need any help to accomplish your mission...
Disappointing caseback. You would assume there would be more 007 memorabilia, but it's just numbers stating it's a diver watch. You can look at the front and see it's a diver watch as well. Why take up so much room, in the case 7-10 digits, to say it's a diver watch in some poor attempt at being mysterious? The spiral 007 logo would have been cool, like in the other 007 themed seamasters. Other than that, I love this watch. That is a phenomenal design at a mesh bracelet. Along side the logo where the date window used to be.
I hear you! Thanks for sharing and your input... Still go for a touch and feel, I am sure you will like that Seamster 300m 007Edition even more afterwards...
A great looking watch. The price $5000 sounds right for this piece.
It's $8k actually lol
I wonder why Omega don't offer more "no date" versions... Imagine how much cleaner the dial of (say) the blue or the white Seamaster 300s would look without that ugly date window!
My words! 🙌🏼 But these day windows seem to be sacrosanct...
Excellent presentation!tnx
I am happy to read this! Thanks for sharing
In my eyes the Seamaster 300 Master Coaxial is the perfect Bond watch, as featured in Spectre but the standard, not the limited edition. No super spy wear a tag saying here i am. Yet the standard SM300MC with either the brown leather strap, or the 21mm rubber strap that you can also purchase, just have to know its product number, offers brilliant value for money and functionality in my eyes. Yes it's not a rolex, but no rolex is worth the money they sell for.
James Bond is a fictive character, therefore other rules apply... I reality things are different of course, but this is James Bond and not the daily routine of MI6... The actual Seamaster 300m 007Edition IMHO is simply a perfect watch...
@@WatchAdvisor The new bond omega is a nice watch, but for me, like i said the SM300MC is the one. Obviously with straps swapped, i wore it for running, biking, working, shooting, gokarting, with a white shirt, with a more casual attire, and no matter what i threw at it, it just handled it brilliantly. The lume could be better, but that can be forgiven. It is a perfect blend of old and new. The new bond seamaster is nice, but for me it feels more limited, and for the price they charge, i'll add a few more grand, and get a day-date, which is what i'm in the process of doing so. We all have different needs for our watches, so that's my view:)
I hear you! You like watches and you enjoy them that’s how it should be... The new Bond watch is pretty special and only time will tell if it was the right choice or not. I am pretty positive though. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! Stay tuned since there is a lot in the pipeline here 😉
@@WatchAdvisor Thank you for your thoughts too. I'm certainly staying tuned. Have you considered covering a story, i haven't actually seen anybody do yet? Michael Schumacher and Omega. How it all started, was it just the money, he chose omega, or personal preference too. Has he had true input on any of their models etc. I actually got into omega because of Michael, and he was the reason why i bought a 1996 speedmaster Mk40. But i ended up loving the watch and he had nothing to do with that:) A very lovely piece, with tons of functions for very little money.
Schuhmacher would be a very interesting subject if the poor guy didn’t have that accident. Sometimes you really question yourself why does it hit so often the good guys? I’d better not touch the story for the moment. May Michael one day give his first press conference and let us know that he is well again...
So much background information and details. Great video.
I am happy you liked it! If you have additional questions, please let me know...
I would have given 3 thumbs up for this review if it were possible👍👍👍
Love ❤️ your comment! Thank you ver much!
Alex...Thanks for still going strong and producing Best content 🙌 I have the Seamaster 300 Ceramic and it is a stunning watch and so is this in titanium... I buying the new 321 steel but if I hadn’t this new titanium would have been high on my list. Omega is the best.... however I have a
Question form you :) If Omega only did the original dark side of the moon and not all the rest do you think that it could have become
The “Daytona” of Omega?
That could in fact have been the case... But Omega was tempted to play around with the different phases of the moon... They are all beautiful watches and I would have a hard time choosing one...
Just get a standard seamester ceramic at half the price?
Never mind! No one is forced to buy the Seamster James Bond Edition...
A secret agent wearing a Ministry of Defense issued watch....hmmm. Not the kind of giveaway that I was hoping for from omega ;)
Very cool ambiance to the review and I am feeling a bit of humor from Omega that this is not a limited edition :)
Hello Sir,
When is this 007 series watch releasing in India?
Regards,
Anant.
When COVID-19 releases the world and life gets normal again. When this will be? Hopefully yesterday!!
🧐absolutely stunning time piece, as expected from Omega and wow it brings the mesh to a new level, great video as usual keep up the good work !!!🥇
Thanks for your positive feedback!
Love this James Bond intro! Keep up the great work Alexander!
I love it too! Was a spontaneous idea we had... So cool what we did! Jean-Claude caressing the golden astronaut 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@WatchAdvisor phenomenal haha
Wow, incredible! Hard to improve on a classic but this certainly works and ticks all the vintage boxes.
That Seamaster is a very particular diver. Part of the next 007 adventure and on top a watch you simply might like and buy... Different and unique I would say...
Very nice video - Thank you! I'm a very proud owner of two fantastic Globemasters and I will for sure get this one some day. It is a great looking watch.
Thank you very much, I am happy to read this. Let me know if you have any questions... Meanwhile I wish you that your two Globemaster will always show you HAPPY seconds, minutes and hours...
Great intro!
Love your comment! 🙏 thanks
Having seen some other vids on this piece too, i do think that the bracelet clasp/closing solution seems overengineered. It looks great, but my cheapo mesh bracelets are infinitely adjustable and this one seems to work with holes that are spaced out quite widely. I wonder if this is the case or if im mistaken.
The "clasp/closing solution" as you call it is not over engineered! That's how you do it when you want to offer a solid and also good looking execution to your clients... If you have the possibility, go and try it... you will thereafter think different... 😉
Omega Seamaster has to be the best looking luxury dive watch available. These beautiful watches out class the Rolex Sub by a mile, to wear an Omega Seamaster 300 on your wrist you know it has come out of the Ocean ready for the Dressed Dinner or Board Room...shear class.
Omega will love that comment!
It’s a beautiful watch. So much so that this Rolex collector pre-ordered one at full price. But I wish that Omega fans would just enjoy their passion for these great watches without the needless tribal comparisons. The very act shows weakness. This isn’t a zero sum game where this watch can only be as good as the Sub is bad. They can both exists and be spectacular on their own. Cheers.
Huxley, Orwell & Rand Very good comment! Please give me a hand especially when I have these Rolex-fanboys here treating “their” brand like a religion and what they write as a religious dogma...
WatchAdvisor you are 100% on point. We humans tend toward tribalism and the Rolex fans are a particularly rabid bunch, hence the insanity in that market right now. There is room enough for all of us. I also love redheads, but a brunette will do in a pinch-If you know what I mean.
I have a Rolex Sub and I'm about to get the Hulk version. I am sorry but the Rolex Sub beats this hands down
I do have the first JB omega watch, bought in 1998, but loving this one as well. I cannot believe my watch is already 22 years old. Regards
As time goes by... It’s better not to think about how quickly we get older... 🤷🏻♂️
That intro! 😂 Well done, hopefully it will catapult your acting career.
Life is too short not to have fun all day long ... I am happy you liked it!
Love it, love the colors which are much like the Tudor Black Bay. I'd have to have a ceramic bezel at this level though I would want a watch of this price point to look new for as long as possible. No ceramic option?
No ceramic option, because it was not possible to achieve these "vintage"-colors in ceramic. So Omega decided to use an aluminium inlay in the titanium-bezel instead. What kind of aluminium did Omega use? It is oxalic aluminium with a surface hardness of 500 Vickers. Regular aluminum has a surface hardness of 200-250 Vickers.
I love that Omega keeps innovating. Great watch
And they inovated what exactly, mesh band copied from breitling, design allso, very breitling look alike, and that buckle is hideous.
Co-axial is from daniels not omegas, they inovated nothing, just stamp watches out, watch with titanium caliber for 50.000 euro is that inovation? NO.....crap omega.
🤦🏻♂️
