The OMEGA Seamaster 300 We Wish Omega Would Bring Back

[@IronKing79]

On my wrist for the last 22 years. Love it. Gorgeous watch. My favorite of my collection.

[@youtubeperson1856]

Yes sir

[@gazz501]

I have this exact watch bought new in 2006. Worn it all over the world as a traveller because it's inconspicuous, light, comfortable and has great lume. I recently put it on a timegrapher and it showed zero, that's zero, plus or minus seconds per day. After 17 years! Admittedly I don't wear it everyday which probably helps greatly to reduce the necessity for servicing. Can't remember the amplitude but it was well within range, and steady. This watch is bullet proof.

The best version 2254.50

[@BigHAL9001]

​@@satl3161I own both 😊.

[@craigc8682]

Ditto. Greetings from Cape Town

Wearing my compact 2263.80 but would love the larger titanium

[@mmlr312]

Love this "Peter Blake" generation of Seamasters - really handsome design (the arrow hands and the large lumed 12 o'clock indicator are iconic). The quartz one will likely be my next milestone/daily watch!

[@wornandwound]

Very cool

[@dukes70]

I agree these are the best versions!!! 👏👏

[@moart87]

My first good watch, bought with my first salary. Couple of purchases further, this one is still my most frequently worn watch. It’s sooo comfortable on the wrist.

[@peterphwu]

Love my 2231.80. Bought it for my father with my first paycheck, then inherited it back when he passed. I have small wrists but this is such a wearable watch due to its low profile and light weight.

[@robertramirez669]

The Blue Wave version was my first good watch...... I admired it on the wrist of my boss at my first job. We didn't have the watch community back then that we have now, so I never managed the courage to ask him if I could try it on....... three years later I turned 25 and bought one for myself. I still have it, and it reigns over all that have come and gone since. Bravo for a fine tribute to a BEAST of a design! (now I need a Titanium version to keep the old, blue-faced girl company)

[@wornandwound]

Go for it!

[@robynsjp]

Bought the 2231.50 today. Already have the 2232.80 - the Ti blue one. Very nice pieces. My most precious one is different though : a top condition 1963 165.024, all original, with original bracelet.

[@off-roadingcars]

I agree, if they made this now, i would definitely buy it

[@CleverSmart123]

I really enjoy my 2231.80, such great proportions and with the titanium wears so well.

[@RedwoodAggie]

Thanks for taking a look at this watch in detail. We don't often get to see such in depth reviews of watches from the days before KZbin and watch blog sites. I would love for Omega to create a revival of the 2254.50, except in titanium, with a modernized, quick adjust bracelet. I know they would feel compelled to put their co-axial master chronometer movement in it, but I wouldn't need it.

[@wornandwound]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@kevinfernandez8416]

This is great. I really love the videos about what will be considered neo vintage classics or icons . Would love something like this on the Tudor tigers or iwc 3706 or some other Neo vintage sleepers too

[@webb3201]

I just received the blue faced version today and it’s immediately my favorite Omega of the 4 in my collection. Amazing

[@wornandwound]

Very nice!

[@vianouche1]

Does the blue version fade to green over time ? I hace seen pictures of several steel ones in this case

[@webb3201]

@@vianouche1this one looks crisp blue….we will see with time

[@vianouche1]

@@webb3201 I bought one in the meanwhile. It is also my favorite Omega of the 4 in my collection!!! We should be friends 😅

[@montys8th]

@@vianouche1 On a small run of early models the blue dial fades to purple. The same thing happened to the Rolex Submariners of the era with the blue sunburst dials. I think it had to do with the lacquer used.

[@ryanfritz8903]

I have an electric blue and blue bond. Eyeing this to complete the trifecta and finally have one I can wear and not care if I get it scuffed doing manual labor lol. I always want an omega on the wrist but afraid to ruin them. This 2231 is a true tool

[@satl3161]

2254.50 is the best version of this series

[@robcameron9351]

That’s the best version of the seamaster imo

[@christoszaranis7059]

I always lobed Omega, and when i was looking for a dive watch it jad to be a Seamater. I chose this reference for all the features you mentioned and it is, in my opinion more special as you don't tend to see it in the wild as often as others. This is the first video ive seen that covers this reference so well. Thank you

[@wornandwound]

Thank you!!

[@spittinvenom9843]

My 2265.80 is my daily, a beauty on the wrist, the one solid quartz in my collection cause you don’t see the movement, it’s all about the perfect execution of that dial and bracelet, it’s iconic

My grail watch. Hope to get one in the near future years 😍

[@arkimde]

I believe Omega should've kept the hour markers on this dial rather than the ones on the new Seamaster 300m. It looks fantastic and it's unique.

[@cedarcanoe]

Probably the best watch channel, thank you for the videos. One question: where has “a week in watches” gone??

[@wornandwound]

No where! But we are now on a bi-weekly schedule. We just had an episode this last Sunday!

[@cedarcanoe]

@@wornandwound must look it up then. Thanks for the reaction

[@Supercruze]

Appreciate your take on this Seamaster 300 from Omega. The version I wish Omega would bring back is the iconic ref 165.024. If Omega did that, I would be first in line to buy one.

[@wornandwound]

That would be awesome!

[@millibarman]

Bought a 300M in 2002, Ref 2054 (basically the more common 2254, but with the five link 'Bond' (European)bracelt. Loved it then and love it now, but ... about ten years ago I saw this 2231.50 positioned against some knife in some gear ad and thought WHAT IS THAT?! Had the jeweler I bought my 2054 from had this titanium version in stock it would have definitely taken the day. I love the clean look.

[@lanemiddleton9]

My Omega Seamaster Titanium is a definite keeper. You will forget it’s on your wrist - so much lighter than the steel model. I agree, the lume is outstandingly bright.

[@doubleasblog]

And the lume is spectacular. I love mine.

[@stevefaiello3321]

These are so cool, much more so than the 'Bond' 300Ms that came before and after them. My only complaint is I'm not a fan of the big, bold numbers on the bezel, but I saw someone put a Planet Ocean bezel on a 2254 and that made the watch perfect.

[@brandonjames1606]

I owned the non titanium version of this watch in the mid 2000's. Of all the watches I've owned and sold, I miss this one the most.

[@Jtjustintimberlake]

great looking watch

[@UnseenHero]

Fantastif video. Love videos like this lond of looking into the not so far past EDIT: i never saw the grey dial limited edition. Very pretty but i find it funny they decided to engrave " titanium seamaster " on the side of the case

[@wornandwound]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BigHAL9001]

Complete with the obligatory orange faded seconds hand.😀

[@montys8th]

The seconds hand on my 2231.80 (blue dial Ti) has faded to a very distinct fuchsia colour.

[@montys8th]

I wonder what they were thinking at Omega when the put the blue dial titanium 2231.80 bezel insert in the grey dial watch?

[@stefpix]

This looks great. The crown and guards remind me of the citizen bn0000 or some CWC. looks amazing. I don’t like the current Omegas, which appear like fashion watches or luxury pieces. This is great

[@smilestreetart]

Great review Blake, I appreciate that era of tool watches too, no nonsense, a bit like IWC at that time, I think what you said about modern watches being a bit more than just two watches was correct, tool watches these days are luxury, watches and often large and shiny, apart from some of the ones you mentioned. I like this a lot, firstly because it's titanium and secondly, because I really get the feeling of the very old Seamasters from the 50s and 60s from the dial design, thanks again!

[@wornandwound]

Thanks for watching!

[@Billeh556]

Forgot how nice this watch is!! Thanks for the video Blake

[@wornandwound]

Glad you like it!

[@LukeEdwards-x8c]

I have the automatic Peter Blake and the automatic Pierce Brosnan - the blue bond is my daily wearer. The Peter Blake feels too special to wear as it is the quintessential Seamaster 300m with the sword hands etc.

[@HCALER2]

Great video, I have a question that maybe someone here can help me…other than band what's the difference of omega seamaster 300m 2031.50 vs 2231.50?

[@Joe-xo3xy]

@Blake and to anyone reading this-every time I see or look at a seamaster professional iteration that has come after the sword hand 300 professional, I immediately go to Rolex. I know Rolex did not invent round lume plots but as usual, Rolex is the brand that will take a trend and make it their own, they did that with the engine turned bezel which was first used adopted by Omega. I wish Omega had retained the original design of the 300 with the sword hands, it is inherently Omega.

[@100percentporsche]

Pierce Bronson was the best modern Bond IMO. Seamaster the perfect bond watch too

[@truxton1000]

I much prefer the 2255.80, steel with gorgeous blue dial.

[@IronKing79]

That's the one.

[@truxton1000]

It looks good, but I really don’t like the look and feel of titanium so I would choose the steel version.

[@ThekG922]

I have one and I wish to sell but when I go to dealers they say oh it too old we won’t take it

[@csarswatches]

With the GMT mania in the last couple years they should bring back the GMT version of this Seamaster, no He valve and the best of this watch!!! GMT Omegas in the current Planet Ocean lineup are just huge thick chunks on your wrist.

[@brockadcock2735]

5:34 *Seamaster 300

[@BAF605]

If the sword hands had never been discarded all modern Seamasters would sell even better than they do.

[@simonrano8072]

This watch only carries the hands and indexes of the real deal : The 165.024

[@Spectral_Alien]

In o-mega steel and thus ditch the helium valve

[@gelmibson883]

I refuse to buy a current SMP, after I discovered the 2254.80. The current gen. looks terrible 80s in the dial and the Ebel look alike, stuck in the 90s bracelets, are so out of touch and not timeless at all. It only gets worse when it has added the bond theme.
