Surprised this hasn't been posted about yet.



The newest America's Cup model is a 3-hander, no date with an interesting bezel marking.

It's maybe not my cup of tea personally, but I do like the color contrast between the white dial and navy blue bezel. The yacht timer marking on the bezel is kinda funky too, fun little differentiator.

Not as sure about the colors of the hands, I get why the minutes is red but that's maybe not for me.
And I'm never a fan of logo counterweights, don't like that.

Still, overall it's interesting enough to discuss, in my opinion!

I kind of dig the fade from blue to red on the minute hand. Another cool thing is it has their rarely used quick change strap system.

Just got the email -- nice piece, prefer the base model though and the blue bezel variant also I think.

When I got the email this morning, the minute hand caught my attention so much that I completely overlooked that it was a no date version. I did not realize it until @YY77 posted it in the other thread and noted the lack of date. 🤦

Overall, it is a nice variant, but I do prefer my standard white 300 Diver as well as the Tokyo 2020 version (I am looking at you, @Alex Cheers!).

Agreed, I prefer my Tokyo 😀 When I was at my OB this week, they told me there was something coming very close looking to my SMP Tokyo. Anyway I think the white & blue color combo is great, so it's nice Omega is offering something new here again 👍 And to me it seems they are preparing us for more no date versions 😁

For comparison:

Watch overall not for me but intrigued by the quick change strap system. Had no idea Omega had such a system. What other models is it used on?

Its just a Tokyo 2020 with a substandard minute hand and some bezel graffiti. 😉

I think the system debuted on the Paris 2024 Seamaster?
I think so, too. I had a look at the white Paris rubber strap this week and it had the quick change system.

I think the standard white-dial 300M is an excellent watch, so I think this is a great option for a no-date version. The Tokyo is cool but felt like it wasn't really that much different from the standard.

It’s on the new omega manual, there’s a picture of the seamaster 300m bracelet with a quick release, I always wondered if the expensive watches have it, but I’m also curious about the quick release price, since it would save me a lot of headaches when changing out straps
