Precision, robustness, elegance: the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M combines all the qualities of an iconic diver’s watch. Its Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement makes it a true masterpiece of watchmaking.A legend since 1993! 1993 is undoubtedly one of Omega’s most important dates: the launch of the very first Seamaster Diver 300M on the market! The launch marked Omega’s triumphant return to diving watches, and proved that the brand’s ingenuity was more alive than ever. Positioned at the time as a refined, luxurious diver’s watch, it broke with the design language of the Seamaster 300 and 600 of previous decades, showing a revolution of sorts. Indeed, the changes and developments of the 1990s inspired new designs and propelled the brand into the spotlight. The chronograph version was even named Watch of the Year in 1994! The launch of the Seamaster Diver 300M also coincided with the brand’s new marketing strategy in the 1990s, aimed at breaking records and becoming a true icon, bringing Omega into the modern era with a vision full of fervor. As soon as it was launched, it accompanied Frenchman Roland Specker to a depth of 80 meters, setting the world record for freshwater free diving. In 1995, it marked a close relationship with the world of sailing when Sir Peter Blake, along with several sailors from the New Zealand team, wore the diver during their unforgettable victory in the America’s Cup. But it was the film GoldenEye that really propelled this watch to iconic status! For the first time, James Bond wore a Diver 300M on his wrist!A classic, timeless model With a stainless steel case, the 42 mm Seamaster Diver 300M is topped by a black ceramic bezel featuring a white enamel diving scale. The dial, also in polished black ceramic, is decorated with laser-engraved waves and features a date window at 6 o’clock. An iconic code for the model since its launch! The skeletonized hands and rhodium-plated raised hour-markers are coated with white Super-LumiNova. You can put its robustness to the test with its steel bracelet, whose folding clasp features a diving extension. We therefore give this evolution of the Seamaster Diver 300M a 20/20 rating.
