I'm so glad they didn't emblazon it with Bond logos. Such a cool looking watch. I hope they sell that mesh bracelet separately.

Hopefully they'll sell loads of them and I'll be able to afford a 2nd hand one in a few years time 😀

Some of the 'real life' photos look far better than the official ones....and make it far more interesting. I think it is awesome-very much on current trend.

Why no curved end links though? Is it a fashion, historical thing or just too difficult for pair with mesh?

Controversial I know , but I've never been a fan of the 300m, however this turned my head pretty hard. Not a fan of the mil arrow tho, bit unnecessary.

Beautiful watch. I love that they went back to Aluminum Bezel as I don't favor ceramic bezels. Just personal taste, I like the vintage aluminum. Love the plain on wave dial. I am normally not a fan of the mesh but I'd love to see it in person.

Overall I think a fantastic issue, as well executed as the last SM 300 for Bond.

It's not for me, but it is a cool piece. I like the domed crystal a lot.

Kudos to those that spotted it early, it was completely lost on me. Definitely suits the look of the watch!

I think the price is nuts, but the overall look of the watch is great. Did I read that the dial and the insert are aluminum? That seems odd to me, as it's possible to put a matte finish on ceramic. Tudor has a matte finished, ceramic bezel insert, for example. Also, I love the solid case back!! Omega attributes the thinner case to the domed crystal (a domed crystal usually makes for a thicker watch, overall...), but I suspect it's the flat case back. Please, Omega: consider this on all of your divers!!

I mentioned the price: it seems out-of-the-ordinary to me because while there's usually a bit of an up-charge for titanium, this is quite a bit of difference. Even the NATO version of this watch is the same price as the ceramic and titanium version. This is one of the first Bond Edition Omegas that I really like, but the price seems really out of whack.

Yea, I agree with all of this. Love the look of the piece (despite no date), but the lack of a date, coupled with the aluminum bezel inserts and price make it a non-starter. Lovely, though.

I’m not really a Seamaster 300M guy, and defintely not a big fan of Bond or the tie-in watches, but this thing is pretty nice. Bad thoughts, bad thoughts

Does anyone know when they're available? I have a 50th OHMSS still waiting on delivery and if this is available now, I'll take this instead.....
