5 Things I Love About The Omega Seamaster - Federico Talks Watches

[@deef3]

I agree. I have a modest collection filled with mid range Swiss (tag, Tissot, Christopher ward) and some Japanese (orient, seiko), but always find myself coming back to this watch. It's super comfortable and and goes with pretty much whatever I'm wearing. Plus Bond wore it, that's gotta say something!

[@frankschroth4038]

Hi Federico, man you just fed an addict. I just watched the Bond movies where Pierce Brosnan wore those Omegas.And ever since, I can't get it of of my mind! :( My guts tell me to buy one, but they are still very expensive. I would have to sell a couple of my beloved other watches! Damn what should I do? And now you come along with your video about the Seamaster. I hope your next video is getting me to where my urge to buy cools down so I won't do anything I will later regret! Aaaaargh! I hate my inner devil!!! But hey,a great video!

[@luketomaszewski5530]

My dad has owned this watch from new how ever many years ago that was, I have always thought it is an amazing watch and really love it.

[@MaestroDeca]

Same my man. Now I bought one. Comes full circle :)

[@TheDobbermn]

I just picked up a black 2254.50 with the speedmaster bracelet last week and I LOVE it. I've had it for 6 days and it's gained 7 seconds. I can't stop looking at that wave dial and the lume is amazing. It's a great compliment to my early 50's seamaster chronometer.

[@jettenderarora8982]

Great video In my collection it has pride of place, had mine for 14 years, many watches have come and gone but this is the most treasured.

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

A lot of people get attached to it... It is happening to me as well

[@tylersaltmarsh9025]

What’s your +/- per day?

[@feudingdrums9124]

Ahh the Seamaster 300.. I really love the c4 detonator and the ejecting rappelling line. Awesome watch!

[@imranbecks]

Mine is the coaxial variant that Bond wore in Casino Royale. Got it back in 2012. Love it and absolutely love the waves on the dial!

[@pauledwards9493]

I love mine, black on black pre ceramic, got it for my 21st the other month.

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Congrats Paul! Hell of a piece!

[@Honezjr]

I too have the black version of the old pre ceramic Seamaster. Mine has the applied, polished Omega logo and I just LOVE Omega's applied logos. Such a great watch for the price.

[@bearclooneywatches4186]

I like these videos with 5 things you like and 5 things you don't like. Feel better soon! Nice job

[@fldiverjc4496]

great video..beautiful watch..I'm also crazy about blue dials and bezels

[@RodneyAllanPoe]

Ah, you bought one! I love mine...definitely a keeper!

[@maestriauaq7063]

I've just got the full size quartz version for 850!! mint condition!! I love it!!

[@GOMAROMA]

I used to feel the Seamaster 300m left me a little cold. Didn't like the hands and was not crazy about the bracelet. This watch however has grown on me. I tried it on in an Omega AD. I now love it. It's been a slow burner for me. I intend to make it my next Omega. I already have a MOTM and Good Planet 600m on rubber strap. Enjoyed the video.

[@ddop100]

I have a midsize SMP300, with the steel bezel and the automatic movement. Such great watches.

[@teaparty54]

What do you think of the Aqua Terra? When I was a young man, and knew nothing about watches, I fancied the 38.5mm white AT Seamaster. So, as a suprise, my wife bought it for me for my wedding present.

[@michaelduran2141]

I have a dive watch addiction and have 2221.80 and 2541.80 both quartz and a 2209.50 orange bezel. all have sea monster casebacks ! love em !!!! don’t like all the new clear case backs. I can only see having it on an elegant smaller watch. anyhow bye from SD CA !!

[@dianeoberle1564]

I have the Seamaster double O7 quartz version and I just love it

[@DJogdog]

0707?

[@celestialfix]

Great video Federico. I have the previous generation Seamaster 300m, ref 2254.50 black waves dial, and I love it. It gets a lot of looks.

[@celestialfix]

Eat plenty of soup to kick the cold!

[@scuba453]

I love my 2254.50 too. They don't make divers like this anymore, now they are all flashy bling which I hate. A diver is supposed to be a tool watch. Also the sword hands are much nicer.

[@tylersaltmarsh9025]

What’s the +/- per day on yours?

[@pat_rickb8523]

Great video. I love my Seamaster (ceramic in blue) I'm currently wearing it on various NATOs. I think this has made me love it even more. It makes it feel as though you are changing the watch just by simply switching out different colour NATO's, it takes seconds. Also when going on holiday you can take one watch with a variety of straps. However I do also love my Sub (ceramic in black with cyclops)

[@LBonvillion]

I love the Seamaster better than the Sub. And I also love the blue dial.

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

It is a great watch!

[@mikehoward5004]

It has 10X the wrist presence of a sub. Much better bracelet and case back.

[@Sebbe40]

Lol ok

[@michaelwozniak6237]

Man i love your video's! Stellar job and keep up the great work! This 5 things i love series is a awesome idea!

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Glad you enjoyed it Woz!

[@Adwnpinoy310]

Love the vid. Totally agree. Would love a full review of the watch also. You talked versatility but also how great the bracelet and clasp are. Would you put it on a leather strap to dress it up or is the bracelet dressy enough? Thanks!

[@polarroller]

Great vid Fred, I enjoy these 5 things I love and hate series.

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Im glad man. Thanks for the kind words

[@СашаС-т4э]

I got a minty one same as yours. Although the bezel was fine I ordered a brand new one and a brand new clasp. Bezel action is on spot as well as should be. But don't you think for what they are going now for a few hundreds more it would be better to get a brand new ceramic one from grey market or a newish pre-onwned?

[@georgekeiper5208]

Nice watch, I like the Planet Ocean too. How big is the difference in quality between the two?

[@ViperSRT1008]

Great video Federico! I have the newer version of this watch with a ceramic bezel and gloss dial. It is my first luxury watch and I love it! Do you think a good companion to this watch would be a Rolex Explorer? I am getting bit by the Explorer bug!

[@PuNiShEdSiciliangamer]

Love this watch. Great vid as always. I can't decide whether to go with a two tone pre-ceramic sub or the Omega Seamaster bond version featured here.

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

At the moment I'm leaning towards the Seamster Professional instead of the Planet Ocean. It's a pity Wempe doesn't sell Omegas. So maybe I'll get it from a grey market dealer instead. But I'm a little concerned about the warranty...

[@anamisidro8453]

I love this watch. I'd give the world to get one with ceramic bezel an 36mm. Get well soon.

[@ServeDinkSmash]

We can see your face, great lighting! I love the 5 things series, thanks for making these.

[@peterfrancis14]

Loved mine but the blue always looked a bit washed out on it. Wish it was a deeper blue.

[@railgraf]

feel better Federico!

[@mikechan5274]

Great vid, Federico! I wish the new Seamasters still had the wavy face design.

[@nelsona779]

I like Seamaster but only vintage great video keep up the good work

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Vintage are great too... I want one myself

[@gman064]

What do you think of the electric blue version? Thanks for the videos.

[@redcomet6327]

My grail watch ;_; I will have you someday! On #3, the lack of a cyclops, the seamaster IMO is busy enough as is with its wavy bezel, wavy dial, that "5 piece" bracelet (I don't know all my jargon).. a cyclops would just overwhelm it. I really feel like this watch so perfectly creeps up to the edge of flashy without ever crossing the line into gaudy.

[@dzod9574]

Federico, I’m in the market for a new SMP 300. would you recommend buying the current model or waiting for this summer when they release the new version with the 8800 movement?

[@Nexus.Achiles]

Not a fan of squeletonised hands, but rest of the watch looks great. I prefer the pre-ceramic PO2500 XL though, a beefeer sports watch. Get well soon and thanks for uploading.

[@Icantpickaname00]

that sure is a beautiful watch, but from a value perspective which seamster is the best to pick up in your opinion Federico

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Value wise... Black dial and black bezel

[@JG-fg1ye]

Frederico is it true that quartz version only align the second hand to the minute marker 50% of the time?.... or is my AD making stuff up?

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Honestly. That is a good questions... I do not know... But it doesn't seem right to me...

[@rickmarsh571]

Feel better Federico!

[@daviddcro]

Hey Federico do you think that The Omega Speedmaster 57 co-axial is worth the price?

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Hmmm, not sure... I will look it up

[@TheIckster3]

Hey Federico, where did you buy this seamaster?

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

From a good friend of mine...

[@douglasdalen]

Hey Federico! Just wondering here since i am pretty much a newbie when it comes to wacthes, what is a cyclops? Best regards from sweden :)

[@BearGryllsSpoofs]

D Dalén a magnifier on the date. Look at Rolex day date for prime example.

[@Dv0inik]

Ciao Federico, a suggestion for new content if you do not mind. Now that crazy auctions in Geneve are almost taking place, why not making a video discussing some of the very interesting pieces that will be auctioned by Phillips or Christies? I think it is an interesting topic because it involves a lot of history and very beautiful watches (a 1st series Portuguese which absolutely kills the contemporary version, for instance). Also the Rolex Milestones auction in HK, curated by your paisano John Goldberger, should be interesting and give people a different look at Rolex and make them understand the importance of this brand. Just a thought. Kind Regards

[@ConyChanel]

hi, What about JLC Master Compressor watches.. nice sport watches

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Lovely watches... Very very well made.

[@Iron123Man1]

Can i ask, what is the price of a new seamaster? Thanks and good video

[@colbynarramore]

Matute Arias they have different versions you can get a midisze basic quartz brand new for about $1,500 I imagine. a full size 300m coaxial is going to run at least $4k and if it a Chrono maybe $4500 or so

[@Acheonable]

nice work on the lighting :)

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Lol still a work in progress... It is still too harsh... But I am experimenting and will get it right sooner or later. Thanks for watching bud...

[@montha123]

Omega all the way - love these watches , I have a 25418000 and never feel the need to look for anything instead of it !!

[@adriqos]

Good video Federico. Tgv referred to this watch as a middle aged mans watch only because I own two the black and blue. Get well soon pal

[@polarroller]

Andy middle age? No way...you are still a young whiper snapper with lots to share!! lol

[@tomleonhartITC]

I have to agree. I set my heart on a seamaster. saved up enough for it and when I actually tried it on in store, It didn't fit me at all. I'm 27. I went and buy a tag heure Canberra instead and put the difference toward my mortage lol.

[@jefferyneu3915]

Five things I love is easy. i can’t think of five things I hate about my 2531.80. It is my all time keep forever watch.

[@mrrsbots]

Federico where did you get the watch prints behind you from?

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

They were a gift. So I have no idea :(

[@MrMarcoAmato]

The print is called : A chronological compendium of watches. idk where you can buy it. But maybe this helps with your search ;)

[@mrrsbots]

Thank you Marco Amato I actually use it as a wallpaper sometimes. Might have to get one printed to hang up.

[@officialpartychannel]

On eBay there's a VINTAGE GIRARD PERREGAUX KAMASUTRA EROTIC DIAL for $300 I heard you like that one

[@esa062]

For me the #1 thing is that the case shape is beautiful. Especially in divers this is rare. Compare the lugs and crown guard to a ceramic Submariner and you see what I mean.

[@davidmeier8860]

Great video....

[@GarrySkipPerkins]

I would love a new Federico video.

[@GeordsYouTube]

I previously disliked the seamaster, then the ceramic version caught my eye. I also prefer this over the rolex sub

[@NoContextOasis]

Really would like to own one of these

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Great watch... Prices are going up though...

[@NoContextOasis]

Federico Talks Watches I know, lucky to find one under £1600-1700

[@phinhd5998]

hi I am 14 years old and for the past few months I have saved up £1500 I want a watch which will hold its value or go up any ideas thank you

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

This seamaster is rising in value quite nicely... But I would not base my purchase solely on that...

[@phinhd5998]

I agree but I would like a return of my money in the future to go towards my next purchase

[@ChrisBHP]

The Seamasrer is a pretty safe bet. As I'm sure you are aware Rolex is by far the best brand for holding value and even appreciating in value in a lot of cases. If you go for Omega or Breitling you have to go with the iconic models like the Seamaster 300m professional or the Navitimer in the case of Breitling. They hold their value the best. As Fed was hinting though its probably more important to buy a watch you truly love. Having it hold its value is just a bonus. The SMP is a break even watch imo. You should get all your money back when you sell it. You need to get a good deal when buying it in the first place though. You can't be paying full retail

[@phinhd5998]

thank you very much for the info helpful :)

[@phinhd5998]

I don't think you can get a rolex under 3000

[@MrMustang990]

Man I wish your videos were longer. And more of them :)

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

This was a lot shorter than usual... Sorry about that... Not feeling too hot...

[@Rockylols]

Short and succinct is also good :)

[@TheBlackDog73]

I feel ya! I'm not diving anywhere either! lol

[@thomask1711]

Crazy thing is if I look for Frederico talks watches in youtube, a patek add shows up...

[@doncimaglia]

Thomas k welcome to the world of cookies

[@thomask1711]

mmmmmmhhhh Cookies...

[@thedon404]

On my list to get

[@nomaddownunder2837]

I'm a 90s kid and it is good to own this watch. A good watch to own at 30.

[@aleksandersiemaszko6027]

Likewise, the watch I got for my thirtieth bday!

[@DirectRegister]

Aleksander Siemaszko me too! Must be something about it...

[@jamesdrennan5298]

just wondering do u wear your watches to bed. i feel like this would be a good tgv vid

[@lmagine6494]

James Drennan I don't... XD

[@007cheburashka]

James Drennan well, Bond did in the movies.. 😉

[@tommarshall4944]

how thin it is and I love the hands.

[@abbath1586]

I bought the one from Casino Royal, and it was my first and not last good watch. I love it, but I hate that freaking bezel.

[@ScottyBennitone]

Federico , y u do dis to me? Ive always wanted a SMP , but I already have 4 fucking blue divers , damnit.... Speaking of blue divers , does rolex offer a blue dial sub at a reasonable price? like 8k or under?

[@delesdog]

I think the lack of a cyclops as something you love about the smp is a bit of a cop out...focus on the merits of the watch not characteristics it doesn't have of other watches

[@jefferyneu3915]

I know the skeleton hands are controversial. I have come to love them. They are all always visible even when all in the same position. If the lume lasted like my Orange Monster, I might never take my SMP off!

[@32chris11]

Love the dial and the case, but I despise the Seamaster hands for some reason.

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

They aren't for everyone... But I think they make 2 different sets of hands...

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Chris Moore it is almost like they couldn't afford proper hands so they went with skeleton ones.

[@DannyLeonardMusic]

Check out the 2254, with the sword hands. Its a cult classic.

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Danny Leonard that watch is great, I have not seen many for sales here in Australia.

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Federico Talks Watches all 13 models of the current 300 have the skeleton hands. I cannot see any other offerings.

[@sandydennylives1392]

Like the watch, but it's too small for me.

[@ivanfrangugic8355]

seamaster is my dream 2 iconic legends for life are sub and seamaster

[@markaustin1849]

I love mine but gains time about a minute a couple of days. Not much just enough to annoye me. Otherwise perfecte

[@tylersaltmarsh9025]

Mark Austin that’s why I’m holding off on one right now... did you regulate yours or still running fast?

[@omegaseamaster300m4]

I Love the Seamaster

[@ΣπύροςΠαπαμεντζελόπουλος]

I hate not having one...

[@jdm-uk-yank]

You say "most" dive watches have cyclops, I can think of very few.

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

Rolex Sub, Seadweller, Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine, Pam Submersible, AP Royal Oak Diver... Maybe it isn't "most", but it is very very common...

[@Moose-ez1oo]

No cyclope....this is what you like or dislike. My points is date is already strange for a five watch but cyclope is even more too much... so if you like because there is no cyclope then you can buy any dive watch except Rolex :-)

[@tomislavm2873]

Bracelet is not special? Bracelet is the most iconic piece of the watch.
