The Titanium Seamaster Professional - No Time to Die

[@jerry3100]

i have one. Absolutely enjoy it every time when i wear, it is thin and very very light. Reason buying? I havent seen omega doing vintage design for a long long time, with a color tone like this. It fits many of my criteria as a James Bond watch, less flashy, thin, full titanium strap and built that makes it anti scratch. A watch made for spy haha.

[@patrickjean-philippe7679]

I could not resist buying this watch as it is subdued, under stated, discreet, under the radar and yet it is awesome. But I may have rather unusual tastes as I much prefer discretion than overly visible watches, irrespective of their price brackets. I prefer that these things remain un-noticed, unseen. 😉

[@toubyhomsombath]

Amen! Going to get mine soon!

[@druyay69]

Stealth wealth!

[@Ae073001]

Being an owner of this watch, I agree with your pluses and deltas. Overall, it is a good-looking watch that is easy to wear due to its light weight and comfortable bracelet. The thickness of the clasp, to me, doesn’t affect the wearability, and I don't notice it when I'm wearing it. I know it's there because of reviews, but other than that, non-issue to me. I do miss the bling of my previous white Seamaster, and due to the standard price, even Pre-owned, that is a drawback. If I hadn't traded for it, I doubt I would've purchased outright.

[@caiobriski8841]

This is probably my #2 preferred Seamster all the time! I love this watch!

[@chasefeller1279]

The lumed bezel should be on every seamaster

[@NKKK85]

I bought this - justified the extra premium, and told myself that I got this because I really wanted to celebrate Danial Craig's 10 years of Bond. My fav actor, and my fav Bond by far. There may be a better Bond next time. But as of 2021, Danial is my fav Bond. And this watch resembles his interpretation of Bond so well. Subtle, vintage-ish, militaristic, unblingy.

[@Paul_F_C]

I’ve owned mine since November 2020 and love it so much , the price was not an issue , the only issue for me is the canvas case as there was talk it might be in NTTD as a prop but unfortunately it wasn’t so it doesn’t make much sense why it came with it

[@floridaman727]

Bought one and sold it pretty fast. Loved everything about it but I couldn’t get over the bracelet clasp

[@dannyg6592]

I talked my pal into buying this instead of a black dial stainless 300M. He loves the light weight and the 007 connection. He does not love the legibility in low light. When he and I swapped watches for a day, he told me he preferred my Tudor BB58. I found the NTTD fun to wear but it is a bit dull in low light and the bracelet/clasp never fit me comfortably. Still, I am glad he bought it as I think it is a very handsome watch.

[@watchdogpodcast239]

Owned one for a while. The clasp was the ultimate deal-killer. Dug into my wrists like no other. Also, I wish the bracelet conformed to the wrist. With the clasp being so tight to my wrist and the bracelet sort of hanging off, it made for an awkward wearing experience. Also wish it had the traditional mesh bracelet sizing

[@tombreakwell8956]

Agreed - bracelet is horrible. Tried one on in AD a few times and its bizarre

[@impoautosguatemala9847]

I own this seamaster and yes, its very gorgeous watch it's my favorite watch. ❤

[@robertp5123]

Rice, fair review. Thank you. I love this timepiece. The dial can be mesmerizing at times. I love the look and it is especially nice to know that Daniel Craig was involved with the production and aesthetics of this watch. At times it feels like I’m not wearing something on my wrist due to the lightness of the titanium. I have both bracelets and currently enjoying the NATO strap. It really has a different look. I really like this one and it will remain in my collection. Thank you again for the great reviews.

[@leeharding8306]

Beautiful watch and one I’ve tried on many times but Omega have gone too far and too fast with the constant price increases. This model is a crazy price now to the extent I can’t see AD’s being able to sell them at full retail especially as the Seamaster is due a refresh next year.

[@tarasmathers7423]

Omega, one of my absolute favorite watchmakers/watch-brands, second only Grand Seiko/Seiko. While the "NTTD Seamaster" isn't necessarily for me, I can appreciate it for what it is. Love that Van Gogh, "Wheat Field w/ Cypress," BTW, Bruce. All the best to you....

[@derekwhoelse8359]

I own one and I still love it because the design is special in compare with other seamasters. A problem for me is that with dim light I can't see the time. The lume is nice but fades in a few minutes. Turning the bezel is a disaster but I never use it. It looks best with the NATO strap i.m.h.o.

[@anthonystevens8683]

I have the SS white dial version and love it, this 007 version looks fantastic though, understated when compared to my more blingy version. I'm also a fan of titanium but I have that base already covered. If I didn't already have the SS white dial and another titanium diver I could have been tempted to give this a try. Some comments have talked about dodgy back play and non aligned bezels but I have no issues at all with my few years old stainless version. Thanks for sharing Bruce, cracking video well shot and edited.

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you!

[@Maarten_official_account]

First SMP I liked so much that I couldn’t leave the AD without one. They gave me a nice discount and threw in the Nato as well. I love the fact that the 007 branding is only shown with a small logo on the caseback. The absence of excessive ARC adds to the vintage vibe of this watch. Although some my find the clasp on the bracelet a bit too thick it just wears very comfortable. But 9500 USD is that the correct price? It retails at 10900 euro on the mesh bracelet over here. That’s a price increase of 1650 euro compared to november 2021 when I got mine…and it already was overpriced at that time.

Downside to having ARC on top is that it scratches easy. One of the things I disliked about my 300c was all the scuffs the crystal had.

[@diavalus]

Many brands use it and there are not many issues. I have two watches and both of them have it on both sides. No matter how much I bang them, the ARC is still there. And one of these two watches is my gardening watch.

Fauxtina. I read somewhere that it looks like this because in the film he’s been hiding in Jamaica for years so it’s meant to look as though it’s changed colour due to the tropical sun. Could be wrong though!

[@curth234]

Viewed and tried on the watch at boutique yesterday. First reaction, $10k for this object, no way. It looks ok but bezel looks cheap, color is an acquired taste, and just feels like a swatch. Wanted to love it but couldn’t.

I wish there was a version with a better bezel action and a date + displayback. My Signum Ti has a satisfying bezel action at $400 so no excuses.

[@peakrider4886]

I’ve seen other issues that have been reported with this model, such as the bulky clasp with the mesh strap, and how much extra metal overlaps under the wrist, and also wobbly bezels that have a lot of play and don’t line up quite as well as should be expected. At the end of the day if you’re paying thousands over a regular Seamaster you want a better watch and the build quality doesn’t seem there. The regular Seamaster is tried and tested, they should have used that as the starting point, like they have with the 60th anniversary one.

[@BruceWilliams]

Having seen and reviewed nearly all the modern Seamaster models I am happy to report that this one is one of the best. Zero back-play or misalignment in the bezel. Though I'm sure that can happen on any brand from time to time. I've owned 2 of the current steel versions and think they are undervalued. The 60th looks awesome too, that is one of the few I have yet to see in person

[@peakrider4886]

@@BruceWilliams good to hear about the bezel. If the price came down I would consider it. I have the older 2006 Seamaster as I prefer the dimensions and fit a little better that the latest co-axial ones, slightly smaller case, slightly thinner, and the He valve doesn’t stick out as much. I was convinced by Oisín after I watched his Omega Seamaster Trieste video. Great SWaT stream last week BTW!

[@Ae073001]

Owned this watch for almost 2 months, and I can speak to concerns. I have experienced no wobble with the bezel. The sound of the clicks as it rotates is different to me than a standard Seamaster, which could be due to the aluminum insert vs. ceramic. Due to the clasp design, there is bulk with the clasp. I don't notice it, however, and it doesn't take away from the comfort. I know it's there due to reviews, but, to me, it's a non-factor.

And the fake military markings - this is heresy to "real" military watches, almost a lack of respect. A shame because the overall design is great. So I will stick with the full titanium "old" sword hands 2231.50 currently on my wrist.

It is extremely beautiful as it is but I feel Omega could have pushed the boundaries so much further with a gamma titanium case, case back, rotating bezel, crown, He valve, Milanese mesh, etc… and add a 8806 movement variation incorporating titanium mainplates, bridges and oscillating weight rotor and an extended power reserve to 70-80 hours. I would have loved that more !
