Since 1993, the Seamaster Diver 300M has enjoyed a legendary following.

This 42 mm model is a Limited Edition of 2,500 pieces and features a brushed case made from grade 2 titanium, with a crown, bezel ring and helium escape valve in 18K Sedna™ gold. In contrast, OMEGA has used tantalum to create the base of the bezel for a distinctive blue-grey tone.

The titanium dial features positive sun-brushed waves. The skeleton hands and raised indexes are 18K Sedna™ gold and are filled with white Super-LumiNova.

The watch is presented on a grade 2 titanium bracelet with tantalum and 18K Sedna™ gold links. An image of the OMEGA Seahorse can be found on the transparent caseback, through which you can see the OMEGA Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 inside.

 

I'm getting a very Yacht-masterish vibe from these

 

And so, finally, we have the thread number 328 about this watch. Good!

 

Yes we have Omega's newsletter to thank for the influx of post about that watch, but I don't mind it I love that watch

 

This will be available for a long time with 2500 examples...

 

What will the gray market be on these especially preowned? It has to be 30-40% off

 

Omega's price premium on precious metals has always been obscene, but I do love this one.

 

It has an 80's vibe to me. Not a fan

 

I have to say...............I'm not a fan either.

But I like Aqua Terra Railmasters, so who am I to be judgemental.

 

$13K Since when was titanium a precious metal?

 

I'm gonna go try it on, if I like it I will probably get it on the 2nd hand market in a few years, because there is no way it will hold its 13K value.

 

Not really my cup of tea, but I do love the Apollo 11 45th Anniversary Speedmaster which has a similar "vibe".

 

I like the idea of omega experimenting with tantalum as it is a great metal.
Difficult to work with, granted but the result can be great as it is the case of fp journe c.b.
The combination with titanium and grey is not my cup of tea but hopefully omega with come up with something else in the future
Cheers

 

Ewww! Dont like that. Sometimes Omega gets a bullseye and sometime they just seem to miss by so much. Not for me, but maybe aimed at those who cant get a Rolex
