Omega making big moves - New Seamaster 300

[@mattys1467]

Omega are just rocking it at the moment 🙌

[@GiGi-wg9lq]

The ultimate three watch Omega collection: 1. Speedmaster 2. This new Seamaster 300 3. The new Tresor small second with blue dial.

[@leeharding8306]

I’m getting the black on bracelet 👌🏼 Omega are making all their new releases fit better on the wrist and slimmer and lighter where possible. They are also making all the right moves design wise. They’ve done a awesome job on this and the new Speedmaster.

[@Treetopflyer777]

I’m a pilot and I wouldn’t trade that jumping time zone hour hand for anything. It is the BEST 😊👍🏻

[@A_Dude_And_His_Watch78]

Omega, grand seiko, and Tudor are it for me right now. Not willing to play the games or pay the inflated price for Rolex.

[@rolandharris2706]

Omega and Grand Seiko have GOT to start tapering their bracelets. I don't see how a high end brand fails to do that.

[@mmceldu2]

Same.

[@willielarsson9651]

I have to agree, sick of waiting for the AD call for a Sub

[@jossypfeuffy7715]

They have on this model did just that

[@klingen8019]

@@rolandharris2706 It do taper alot, same with the new speedy

[@kk7sm]

Bumping the hour is so very useful when I'm traveling. I really love that feature. That, in the blue, is absolutely lovely.

[@askay2k]

Totally agree with you, I loved the jumping hour hand on my 8500. And you never need to worry about when can you adjust the date which I do need to watch out for on my 8800.

[@IverKnackerov]

Great review video …for me the black on steel is the way to go as it works so well on the leather as well (unlike the blue). The gold is lush - looks fabulous - perfect for evening wear, just can’t picture it working with more daytime outfits/scenarios

[@LaberintoAzul]

Finally , putting a classic look, has to look timeless. Good move.

[@craigevans810]

Perfect now they've got rid of centre links in polished form and no helium escape valve,wanted a rolex explorer but I'm loving this

[@antc6765]

Just bought this watch with a black dial on the bracelet. Beautiful watch, wears spectacular. I wasn’t sure about the patina colored lume until I saw it in person, the press release photos don’t do this watch justice. Bruce, please get your hands on one for a full review.

[@bani_niba]

Eventhough Omega has 3 lines of dive watches, each has a unique personality and appeal. In my opinion, all three are well done.

[@HannesHeuer]

You touched on a big point, enough to discuss on a whole video: it's luxury even omega makes gigantic profits! It smt feels like only Rolex charges too much for their watches... every LUXURY watch company charges too much!

[@HannesHeuer]

But we still love them, don't get me wrong. This was just meant as a reminder to ourselfe not to be pretentious about buying a watch for "good value"

[@BruceWilliams]

I hope every watch brand makes at least double what it costs them to make. Just as in my own job or business, I want it to be profitable and secure. I think watch nuts expect everything to be at cost or close to it which makes me roll my eyes

[@janjacdr1]

Stainless Steel on the vintage leather looks perfect to me. I MUST have it. Will probably take me years to save up :(

[@wagsbass]

The all black is killer. I know Hublot did it already but I would take the Omega anyday

[@Nightmark2]

I always like watches with no date or a date that is very discreet.

[@jamesminshall4601]

I really like it but I really can’t cope with the second hand having a blob on the end instead of a point, the gold bronze second hand looks much better

[@Furniture121]

If I was shopping for a luxury watch without a date, this would be at the top of the list.

[@FS-zn9xe]

Yes, you are right. But I would not shop a luxury watch without date. So this one is a no go for me.

[@AcmeRocket]

the blue 300 is nice but the white/red PO would be tough to overlook between the 2.

[@matthicks5457]

Beautiful watch. Tho, I would prefer the lollipop as a counterweight. It’s just not a precise pointer.

[@stevefox8605]

Love it, awesome watch- probably the coolest release of the year, (love the fauxtina and size & no date is perfect) tho tbh I prefer the outgoing model that's closer to the original (The Trilogy is my favourite)... One day I'll have an Omega. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻

[@BruceWilliams]

I hope that day is soon :)

[@scottlalonde2878]

Thanks Bruce, nice video. Awesome watch, just wish it didn't have aged lume. Most people like it, I guess, but..

[@timmanion7459]

I bought a Omega Seamaster 300 watch co. some yrs back and consider it a great addition yo my collection. Then , I had an opportunity to pick ul a Omega Seamaster 300 Specter. I always liked that lollypop second hand and always wondered why Omega didn't use it on a non limited edition watch . I so happy they finally came around and made this watch . I've put my name in at my AD and will get a call when they're in . Great video Bruce !!

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you Tim, I'm excited for you!

[@timmanion7459]

@@BruceWilliams Thanx Bruce . The Specter was kind of an impulse buy . I really like that second hand and got a screamin' deal on it . I was thinking about selling it but they have gone up in price so I'll hold on to it to see where it goes . It's not a peice that I wear like I do my Watch Co. This new 300 is awesome though. I'm super excited and have been wishing Omega would make this watch for a while . Hope to see ya live this Sunday !!!

[@giakhanhthehinhcoban]

The blue on is just a stunner 👍🏻

[@m.l.679]

Are we talking sub 14 mm in thikness? I love the 300, but the last gen is too tall for me. I love the domes crystal, better then the Speedy saphire sandwich. Thank you for sharing the info. Ill wait to see the detailed review of this watch. Great vid!

[@mikemush9741]

Hey Bruce, great video! I couldn't agree more about how red hot Omega has been. I was a full on Rolex fan boy the last 7 years. I owned pretty much every steel sports model over that time. I just sold my last two Rolexes (Explorer II and Wimbledon dial Date Just) at a nice profit. I honestly got bored with Rolex and the recent games they play really turned me off. I've been going all in Omega the last few months and absolutely loving them. I started with a Planet Ocean and it never seems to leave my wrist. I'm planning to add the new Speedy Pro Moon Watch and a DeVille Tresor. I could add a few more and still have money left over from the sale of all of my Rolexes! I'm loving watches again.

[@robc8892]

Same here. Rolex have ruined / been ruined. Too expensive to enjoy wearing and too much of a crime magnet. They as a company will be OK as they have tudor, so don't need to sell as many rolexes

[@Treetopflyer777]

Watched this again Bruce and now I’m thinking this may be my next watch. I really want a sub or SD43 but I can’t stomach the grey market prices. Three times the amount of this watch

[@canadianwatchmonkey3992]

Absolutely love this and the railmaster

[@doppelwrist4658]

In general they need to ease up on faux patina!

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

Yes. It works with the gold bronze version but not the others.

[@scottlalonde2878]

Yep agree 100%

[@shipmate3577]

Agreed

[@varanid9]

This one does seem lighter than the previous version. I don't consider it "faux patina", just a dash of much needed warmth/color to a genre of watches known for being boringly monochromatic.

[@scottlalonde2878]

@@varanid9 I've heard others say the same, though maybe not as eloquent as you. I personally would just rather have white. The market is saturated with darker colors and I'm pretty much over it. Everyone's different, though.

[@marks184]

Bruce, as always excellent positive content. We all love our fancy wind up toys/ men's Jewlery. The pices for Omega watches are getting to be EXPENSIVE. I went through my Omega buying binge in 2012. I thought at that time they were expensive. More like Jewlery now. I bought a 42mm PO 2500 C on rubber strap new for about 2k in 2012. The reference 165.024 Watch Co watches were fun. I liked the idea of people getting a "NOS" Omega for a reasonable price. The 2500 D PO, 2500 D 300SMPC FLAT DIAL, & 2500 D Aqua Terra were the last affordable three hand Omega's that you could buy new. The 7750 Co Axial models made around the same time were also somewhat affordable. Omega is no longer a mid tier brand. Kinda sad in a way.

[@shipmate3577]

Omega, the “MASTER” of mainstream luxury watches (Speedmaster, Seamaster, Railmaster, etc)

[@michaelfierman3256]

I think these are just among the most handsome new watches we have seen since january 2020. I am in love with the sandwich dial and it's great for guys who can't wear a Panerai to be able to have that on wrist. The lumed bezel is probably the most appealing aspect along with the refined bracelet. I hope you get the blue one as that intrigues me the most. Great preview of these Bruce!

[@sealevelbear]

Bronze is not my thing, but this model is killer, love the blue on bracelet! Or even a two tone!!

[@dmora2386]

The bracelet taper is $$$, I like it.

[@DrSpeedNL]

I like the design a lot, especially the bronze-gold version, far too expensive for me however.

[@mannycalavera2335]

I am surprised by how different the overall look is from the 2014 version. I loved that model and this one as well. Only thing I don't really love is how they gave the steel version an aluminium bezel. I understand why they did it. But the 2014 version did combine retro inspired design elements with modern materials in a way that is a bit more satisfying to me. I also like that the 2014 version shows a little restraint in the use of that brown lume.

[@WatchMeEDC]

Overall I like the changes to the 300. Sandwich dials are awesome (a la Panerai) and the case updates are really nice... but the heavy cream lume use is meh to me. “Vintage” should be earned over time rather than bought for instant gratification. No one wants to wait for anything nowadays 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@dcerise1974]

the new 300 blue and steel one is just amazing looking

[@eyeheartsushi2212]

The gold bronze version looks like a stunning timepiece. The other versions don’t do it for me.

I can see you adding this to your collection Bruce, seems just right for you 👌

[@jameshoward9700]

Great discussion, Bruce. I like the look of this, excited too. I'd love to see you review the SS/Black model. Gotta know how the 41mm with new proportions wears (bit big? Just right?) and actually what colour that lume is (have seen it anywhere between coffee and cream). Could be a great day-to-day under the radar watch. As an aside, your video reminded me just how nice the Globemaster is... Hmmm... Gotta be a new PO next year.

[@PK-mx7nf]

Agree on the text. I don't need the water resistant showing on the dial!

[@sealevelbear]

Time zone feature should be a part of ALL luxury watches in my opinion. From the Explorer, to the Calatrava, and beyond!

[@tritree9]

it's pretty special, I love it.

[@kevinl6231]

Omega is giving the competition a run for the money. And you can actually get one when you walk into the store.

[@martinharrison4245]

Not a fan of the faux lume or the lollipop seconds hand. Doesn't sit right with the hour hand. The bracelet is improved with more brushed surfaces. Being thinner is an improvement too. Overall nice watch but still could be better. The rado captain cook is similar looking , white lume markers , slimmer, and a third of the price or less. And you get more choice on bracelets and dial colourways on the watch. Yes the movement might not be as accurate, but it does boast 80 hours of power reserve, and will be cheaper to service too. The rado is lighter and more comfortable to wear also. If you want a quality alternative to this omega, then the captain cook is a good option for the money.

[@phillipgwin1277]

Looks sweet! Was sad to see no ceramic bezel. Could have made it a matte ceramic that would have looked cool and vintage while also being super durable. Hopefully they will add the ceramic bezel and I will be in!

[@user-xh5pi2nf9q]

My thoughts exactly

[@robc8892]

Interesting comment, my thought were the opposite. I am buying this watch over the older one with ceramic as I was worried about the cost of replacing a ceramic bezel if it broke or delaminated

[@dj_ath]

Omega keep it up your my favorite for a reason

[@cajanir]

Based on aesthetics this new Seamaster is Omega's real alternative to the Submariner. I'd love to see you review either the Bronze or the Blue. I'm still not sure how I feel about the lollipop seconds on the blue as I really love the arrow seconds on the bronze.

[@artkung3629]

wish they would have reintroduced it with a countdown bezel as the original did. that would have truly sold me. but with the choices available, definitely like the bronze gold the best.

[@simonwright6882]

The white and orange planet ocean is simply stunning and different in a perfect blend for me. In fact I'm off to the omega site right now. Bye .

this will be my next :)

[@jeffersonjefffitzgeraldgro7175]

I have the 2020 Seamaster and I’m more than happy with I wont trade it for two of this !

[@imranbecks]

Easy pass. Conical crown is ugly. Hate cutout numerals which is why I don't like Panerais. I'm good with my Seamaster 300 with the liquidmetal.

[@antsfur]

Nice watch and video but for me im not too keen on the sandwich dial would prefer it if the lume was painted directly on the dial, the crown I dont like the way it flars out. The movement is superb with all its features. The writing on the dial, most people think the more it has the better the watch is, what do you think...

[@philstadnicki7882]

That is a gorgeous watch ,i just wished they used white lume instead of that faux stuff

[@konovalov10]

I bet this watch will appear in the next James Bond movie :)

[@andreaiacolina]

I was waiting for your review of this piece! And I completely agree with about the jumping hour function. It's such a cool thing to have in a watch.

[@BruceWilliams]

100 percent!

[@edwardblack7133]

Agree with the gold bronze one being the Boss of the group. One a bracelet...yes pls

[@caiobriski8841]

Bruce great video! when will you review this watch in person? My favourite is the black with leather strap.

[@blueshirtbuddah1665]

Another fantastic video Bruce. I love the blue dial version! Too bad it does not have the jumping hour hand feature. Oh well, I guess you can’t have everything.

[@RedwoodAggie]

I think the blue would be great to see a review on. Overally I really like this update from Omega. I was a fan of the previous version, but I really love the way they treated the numerals on this release. My only suggestion is it would be great to see at least the black version come with white lume, instead of fauxtina. I really think that would make it a good alternative to the Submariner. Some of us like the vintage style, but don't want the watch to look like it's old, if that makes sense. I like what Topper did with their Oris Diver 65 release last year with the white lume.

[@BruceWilliams]

I'll try to get the blue. I think that is the one I like most anyways :)

[@stephan384]

Everything is perfect about this watch, including the aged lume on dial and bezel (kind of fit more with gold ring, bracelet or everything not stainless), but would have had a needle red tip to the lollipop second hand, similar to my Seamaster 300m, just look less floating in space...

[@highnrising]

Hey Bruce--The quick set date vs. time zone feature isn't an issue with this watch because THERE'S NO DATE!

[@jossypfeuffy7715]

Not a fan of no dates. Every time I wear one I find myself glancing for the date through out the day and not being there. I’m not one to have a cell phone on me as a 3rd arm 24/7 so dates on watches do come in handy. However this is one watch I may make an exception for. It just looks right without a date window

[@jamessymington2466]

I am generally of the same view but have managed to make an exception for the Polaris Chronograph and I hope one of these sometime!

[@unemployedrocketsurgeon1124]

They should do a bracelet for that Gold/Bronze 300, also prefer the sharp pointy second hand on that model.

Hi, Bruce, I think this is an awesome watch, maybe you should review the blue one!!

IMO the blue is more interesting than the BB58 Navy blue.. even with the faux patina. the dial is somehow more... textured?

[@fadiinspace]

The 8500 caliber with a timezone function was in large 43mm watches as well as small 38.5 aquaterra, I don’t understand why omega opted for an 8800 without a timezone function in smaller watches (as well as the smpdiver300) instead of going for the 8900 in all thrir watches

Any plans to get hands-on with these in a video? I'd love that!

[@vforvictor3320]

I 100% agree with you Bruce if only they could market their brand like Rolex do

[@jossypfeuffy7715]

Another side note. I had the previous gen in Titanium blue. The bezel was just awful. Not only was there play but you could wobble the bezel so there would be a gap on one side. Just about half a mm either way. It may not sound like a big deal but on a multi thousand dollar watch it was unacceptable. Seems like these thinner bezels don’t have the best action. I hope Omega corrected this on the newer models.

[@bookofmillions]

I have a bronze Ingersoll The Scovill 😅 no wear but will start wear it for a couple of days. Bronze looks and feels differently. I had 2 Omega DeVille so far but never a bronze watch, am curious myself if it gets a patina or I get the green 🤔😅

Great video black dial on stainless steel bracelet for review please. I really like that watch.

[@jeremydahm2124]

Bring on the blue! The talking point for many (see below) will be that faux patina. Sometimes it just works (see BlackBay Red). I think we, as watch nuts, have started to have a knee-jerk reaction before considering whether or not it works to make the watch look as good as it can. I'm guilty of that but perhaps to a fault because these look dope.

I just tried a blue 300 (not the professional) in titanium 39mm in a boutique. Not sure if that’s the new one or not? I was so excited to see it and when I tried it on it was a TOTAL disappointment. I thought it might be the new addition to my collection. Then I tried it on. So completely underwhelming. Bummer.
