Just bought my first Omega (upgrade from my TAG Auquracer). Bought the seaweed green Seamaster 300. The difference in quality over the TAG is amazing, yet price wise not a million miles different. TAG was always loosing time. Two weeks in and this Omega hasn’t lost a second. Had to move to bigger house to be able to accommodate the wonderfully huge wooden box it comes in 😊

[@peacockj1970]

Had exactly the same experience! Also just upgraded from the aquaracer Also bought in green. Beautiful watch. Enjoy!

[@richardlamazares6350]

Amazing watch enjoy 💪

[@mehmetaliertan]

I can easily say that aquaracer 200 is running time perfect, never had complain. But people like us , our eyes always will be on seamaster 300 , and one day we will get it 😊. To be honest i will use my aquarecer 200 with blue faded screen for everyday. Seamaster 300 is better than rolex for be, i would wear it in every special unforgettable days. Enjoy you watch dear friend ❤

[@arunavamukherjee7549]

Just bought mine recently. Black dial. Love it. Wondering if there is a battery inside to be replaced eventually? I know it is automatic.

[@Mark-lj1dj]

The box is yet another thing that Omega does better than Rolex. The green faux leather doesn't really exude quality. But i guess it's their thing now so why change 🤷‍♂️

Such an underrated channel, the combination of script and editing gives such a pleasant experience, thanks for keeping up

[@phmwu7368]

Interesting new video, but I prefer the sleaker "300" toolwatch version, awaiting the " Seamaster Only " reference guide focusing on all the Seamaster toolwatches ! We fear that the HeV Helium valve toothpaste cap at 10 o'clock must hit & hurt the forearm bone near the left wrist ?! Large 42 mm & huge 45 mm watches for James Bond, while Britsh author Ian Fleming wrote about a subtle 36 mm Explorer 1016 gentleman's wrist watch. Then again "De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum" .

[@thomass.586]

After many years of deliberation I bought the model (steel bracelet, black face) you reviewed here, and I'm totally happy. What a beautiful, iconic piece of craftmanship. Wearing it right now.

[@Danno682]

I own a Seamaster and love the look of the bracelet! To me, it’s much nicer than the Submariner bracelet!

[@mehmetaliertan]

Totally agree nicer than submariner, and not less quality

[@abizzle100]

My dad just gave me his seamaster 300. He brought it in 2003. He has just retired from work and moved from UK to Spain and gave it to me as a leaving present. I’ve never seen what all the fuss was about, but I wore it today and now I get it and have fallen in love with it. Great review

[@faustopadilla3226]

I LOVE the look of the iconic bond bracelet.. it’s an integral part of the watch.. you can identify it without looking at the dial! Great review BtW

[@pangolin216]

Did not realise I was in a minority, but I absolutely adore the Seamaster bracelet. In fact, I can't think of a better looking bracelet, and I always prefer bracelets to straps. The new Milanese bracelet is nice too, but not as original - that's why I like it, but don't love it.

[@zevongrie1402]

My first luxury watch was the blue version of this watch. Since then, I’ve gotten the white face, black face, and the No Time to Die versions. You could say I am definitely a fan.

What's your favorite? If you could keep only one and wear it all the time?)

Watched countless reviews of the Seamaster and this is probably the best one yet. Great info about the movement and the camera work is excellent.

[@twpsyn]

as someone with not much interest in luxury watches I know I'll never buy, I must say this was a really interesting video on the history of this watch and the movement. gained newfound appreciation for the seamaster

[@trinity3422]

I think Omega just has to stick to their designs aesthetically and they’ll be fine, during the quartz crisis they switched up their designs so much that it hurt their sales. People want watches that stand the test of time in the movement and the look. Omega definitely has the movement, and I believe they’re headed to having the look. The Speedmaster obviously already does but their diver watches are just now getting there. The diver 300m has stayed the same for 30 years or so, the planet ocean gives a nod to the past Seamaster’s, and obviously the Seamaster 300 does as well. And if they can just slim down the case with that co-axial escapement inside!

[@degenerateWA]

to think i was considering trading mine. This video reminded me why I loved it in the first place. To add to your insight on the bracelet, I don't believe it's the style that people don't like but rather the overall weight. At least that is why I did not like it. Aesthetically I think it is stunning. To resolve the weight issue, I put a Forstner oyster-style bracelet specifically designed for the SMP300 and it completely changed the wrist wearing experience for the better. Thanks for sharing.

[@Mark-lj1dj]

I have this exact watch too. I love the how the bracelet looks and feels. Plus the micro adjustment is the best ive ever seen

[@gmund317]

The best value in luxury watches. By far. I LOVE the bracelet. I wish my Speedy had the same bracelet...

[@bitterboar]

I actually just tried one on for the first time recently. It has now jumped to the top of my grail list. And yes I love the bracelet. Traditional oyster style is a bit boring. I’ve always liked something busier like a jubilee or beads of rice. This bracelet gives some bling, is a tad busy and is original.

[@raupenimmersatt6906]

The only nice jubilee is the super jubilee imho- the one with the normal clasp just looks stupid

[@diavalus]

One of the reasons I love the hands is I can actually read the date when the minutes hand is over the date window.

[@realwarriorscholar]

The Seamaster 300 Pro just moved to the top grail spot on my list. I’ve been a fan a long time, but your review solidified it! Great review. Thank you 🙏🏻

I never realised until this video how good it looks in black 🤩

[@hugejohnson5011]

This review appeared in my "notifications" and here I am. Very good production of a clearly presented review. Also interesting for the "extra" tidbits of information. As far as the 300? I love the ceramic dial on these, and the detailing of the face/hands. That 10 O'Clock "wart" kills it for me though! Thanks for the well put together presentation.

[@truthserum9157]

Picked up this watch in blue a week ago, I like the bracelet and the HEV doesn’t bother me, the accuracy is 0.3 seconds per day, I really like this watch, it’s worth the $$$.

Thanks John! It’s a great watch so it’s easy to say nice things about it - an excellent choice for a retirement present for sure. Glad that you enjoyed the video.

Wonderful, articulate, honest review, beautifully photographed and narrated.. I love the fact that the watch you own has the scratches that demonsrtate daily wear and actual use.

[@warrenrhinerson6373]

Hey. Great video but that not the divers extension. Drivers extension is actually just behind the micro adjustments. Can you push down on the top of the bracelet near the buckle and it extends out about 3/4 of an inch

[@markheywood5626]

The micro adjustment you showed is not the diver extension. That clips out from the clasp of the bracelet.

[@abrayshaw1657]

A superb review of a beautiful watch and I particularly liked the historical aspect. I sold on my first quartz Seamaster about 10 years ago. However, I've recently purchased the green on a rubber strap Seamaster 300M. It's accurate to 1 second a day and comfortable on the wrist. Great for an automatic movement. This one's a keeper. Please keep up the interesting content.

[@samd.5203]

Great video love the history and background about the brand and the movement. Love your work just wish you released videos with greater frequency. No doubt a great watch but for me personally it's just too busy. Between the wavy dial, those hands the helium escape valve and the scalloped bezel it's just too much. Less is more IMO. I really wish that Omega would release a retro version of the SM 300 with the sword hands like you showed in this video. In my opinion that's the best looking SM300 ever released. I agree with you about everything you said regarding the Rolex.

[@Shecki603]

I think the reason they keep the minute hand green so that it matches the green dot at the top of the bezel so that it's easily distinguishable if you're setting your bezel for a certain amount of minutes. Easier to see how close the green minute hand is to the green dot when you're diving?

[@jacobambach8143]

The reason I got into watches is because of the Omega Seamaster as seen in the Bond films (and yes I'm a big Bond fan). Only reason why I won't purchase the Omega Seamaster is not only because of price but because the 42mm case diameter is too big for my skinny wrist 😅

[@Divine-IQ]

One of the best reviews on KZbin. This will be my next buy

[@danielburke9980]

This is a fantastic video. I am so torn between the green dial vs the two tone option. Both are nearly perfect in my eyes.

[@gopherproxy]

Congrats on this awesome timepiece! Fab vid, with all your observations and the interesting background information. Don't know if you really can impress people by wearing a watch anymore (probably wishful thinking - unwanted attention is documented, though), but your reviews certainly are impressive work. Thanks!

[@WondersofWatchdom]

Glad you liked the video! In my experience, people are still impressed by luxury watches even though they may pretend not to be. But Rolex are a bit unique in that respect. When I did the Invicta Pro Diver review (looks like a vintage Submariner) and the Pagani GMT review (looks like a Rolex GMT) I got tons of passive-aggressive comments like, “Someday maybe you’ll be able to buy a real Rolex Submariner” or “This watch is for people who can’t afford a Rolex.” Also comments like, “I bought this but someday I’ll own the real one.” It’s a bizarre, distinctly Rolex thing where people have an intense desire to own a submariner someday, both hate and admire others for being able to own one now, and dislike people who they think are taking “shortcuts” to owning one. They assumed I was buying the watch to “pretend” it’s a Rolex rather than just being a nice-looking reliable watch at a great price.

[@caseyzaft6734]

Omega paid to be apart of James Bond. Rolex never paid for the endorsement. Sean Connery once said you buy an Omega if you can’t afford a Rolex.

[@WondersofWatchdom]

Connery chose to wear a Rolex in the first James film (in addition to a Gruen) because Fleming himself wore one and adored it as a high quality tool watch. If you look at a closeup of all the early Rolexes in Bond films, including Roger Moore’s submariner in The Man with the Golden Gun, they all have one thing in common - they’re completely beaten up and the crystals have multiple scratches. Love it! Sadly, in recent years the submariner has become the quintessential snob troll watch, purchased by people who would never dare use it as a tool watch. I’ve never seen that Sean Connery quote: do you have a link?

[@gentelmenschannel5028]

I honestly just See reviews get my know and get out but here I have to put a comment when credit is due. The review of the watch was incredible along with the history. And I like the nice touch especially Test of watch that you showed. :) thanks keep up the Good works .

Awesome review ! I love the omega seamaster 300 and i am planning to take it as soon as possible. I love it in blue dial but as well as in black. I can’t decide. But i am sure that any of the colours will make me very happy. Especially that will be my first omega watch and i love watches generally. I would love a Rolex as well but let’s be honest .. is hard to buy one at retail and i think as VALUE for the money … omega easy wins ! Is a masterpiece and the quality is the same as a submariner ! Thank you for your amazing video ❤

[@hugohernandez3651]

Thanks for the video. It was really good. With all the due respect, I will point out one mistake. You call the watch Omega Seamaster 300. The watch is an Omega Seamaster 300M. The Seamaster 300 is a completely different watch.

[@b.santos8804]

"Anyone who buys a Rolex to impress someone --- isn't very impressive." 😂 Ouch! Kind of true, though.

[@AZadeh-nd8vx]

Great review! I own this watch in blue and the quartz "Goldeneye" 300m. I also own a new 41mm Rolex Submariner. I have to say, I disagree on a couple of things: I'm one of the people who does love the look of the bracelet! Also, the lume is better on the Submariner in my experience (although i have the newest kne so maybe ut was updated). I also think that the 300m is much more aesthetically pleasing than the Submariner - it has so much better finiahing and detail and has a symetrical dial with the date window at 6 o'clock (of course, its subjective). Also, i think alot of people would recognise the 300m, ive had people confuse my older 300m for a Rolex before 😂 IMO, if they made this watcch in 40/41mm, made it 1mm thinner and made the helium escape valve smaller like the first generation of the 300m it would be almost perfect. They could also smoothen the bracelet a bit more like the older models, the modern version's brcaelet is quite "sharp".

[@marketingsuccess2637]

I own this exact watch as well for over six months now. This is by far my favorite watch, and I’m one of those people that actually really love this bracelet it’s chunky but sturdy. My watch gains about two seconds per day consistently, I don’t know if that should be considered acceptable for a master chronometer? Another awesome thing about this watch is that it looks just as good as the day I bought it, it’s really gorgeous. By the way, my wrist is 7 1/4, and it fits really well.

[@KLucero22]

Master Chronometer accuracy tolerance is 0-5 seconds per day so it sounds like your watch is spot on

I understand, but a no date Sub for me is what got me into watches and I always wanted a no date Sub. Since things are changing for the better I will wait for the opportune moment to get my Sub. The SMP300 is simply not for my taste. I don't like the shiny looks and I abhor AR coating on top of the glass. I think it's unpractical and defeats the presuppose of a rugged watched the SMP 300 is supposed to be (I guess). I managed to get a mint green DJ41 under retail, I will get a Sub too and be over with it. I randomly stumbled upon this video and felt compelled to share my passion for the Sub, same way you express yours for the SMP. Ultimately which one is better is really a heavily subjective matter. I know how to wind it and I wanna buy it because I like it a lot. I don't care about peer rejection or approval.
