New to the forum but not new to Omega. Have an Aqua Terra and Railmaster (40mm) but just thought I'd share. My first Diver 300M on the way. Haven't seen this color way in the flesh but hoping I like it, everyone else (on Youtube) seems to. Excited!

Best version IMHO of the current ceramic divers.

The dial & colour really changes depending on the light.

Beautiful watch. I can understand why you’re excited.

This reference was the inspiration for putting a rubber strap on my 2264.50, which I actually did yesterday. Love the look.

The rubber strap was the only option for me. I have yet to get along with an Omega bracelet for some reason. I use a Forstner on my Railmaster and quite like that so maybe I will try one on the 300M at some point.

I have the same Green on rubber. Color is amazing. When I want to change I put my 1171 or my 1450 Uncle bracelets, which I think looks better than the original Seamaster 300m bracelet, and are cheaper.

My favorite. I got the bracelet but also use a Forstner 1450 and Contemporary Flat Link on it. Great looks.

Of the current ceramic Seamaster professionals, this one is easily my favorite. As always, Omega's images give you a terrible idea of what it looks like in general and give you no impression of what it looks like in person.



It's a very saturated green, and often appears black or Inky black in lower light conditions.



Under flourescent lamps, it often appears very deep forest.



Depending upon shadow and sun, it can easily rotate between black and green in appearance:



I really prefer the darker, richer green to some other brands almost "plasticky" greens. Omega really does, for the most part, do much better job with color than almost any of their major competitors.

It took me a while to really appreciate how well this color works ( @josiahg52 and @McBeardy 's images helped, since Omega's images are so terrible), but it's possible I appreciate it more for that reason.

The 1450 looks amazing! Going to go with that I think.

Fantastic photos! Thank you... this watch is a total chameleon. Love the versatility. I don't have any other watch in the collection like this and so looking forward to it.

Know that the Forstner a 1450 is brushed bracelet, the US 1450 is polished sides. I think they're both fine bracelets, some people like the Forstner clasp; I converted mine to a pressure clasp, so I don't really see a big difference.

I actually forgot I have the Forstner 1450 for my Railmaster already. May opt for the Contemporary Flat Link perhaps as a bit of polish may set it off even better than an all brushed. Lots of good pics you guys had as examples. Super helpful.

Just cracked the box open. I am in the Honeymoon phase so I won’t gush but wife said, “I LOVE it!”. All I needed to hear…

Congrats! Wearing mine on the Forstner Contemporary Flat Link. Coming on three years, no regret and the honeymoon continues. . .
