It's a striking watch-- both the standard and "Spectre" versions. If you want a traditional dive watch bezel, go standard. The 007 model is a hybrid. You can look up another time zone, or measure elapsed time. However, a watch with either a true GMT or dive watch bezel will perform either of these functions better.

The Omega logo is more prominent on the 007 version. Perhaps for the film. Many prefer the more understated look of the standard.

I bought the 007 model. I've already got a Seamaster Professional...and a Submariner...and a GMT Master II, so the objections to the bezel don't bother me. It's neat to own a watch specifically and uniquely configured for the film---and I love James Bond movies as much as watches!

All I can say is I hope I can somehow get my hands on a lollipop seconds hand, maybe an Omega service replacement? Because that and a NATO on the regular 300 would be perfect...

Tough choice !! Maybe one of them in the spring.

Love everything about this one except the price tag.

The thickness does not really bother me when its on the strap.

I just put a deposit on the LE version and cannot bloody wait to get my hands on it! Selling F A S T and struggled to find one today. So excited, my only other Omegas are a 54 bumper, 59 constellation and a 60s seamaster, so it's gonna feel BIG but tried one on today and felt great. I do wear Vintage Seiko chrono's regularly though so I'm hopefully used to a chunky watch. Putting my largest watch on from now on until I pick it up to make sure I'm specially aware. Don't want to clang it on its first outing!

Well i may regret this but just pulled the trigger on the omega 300 le


You said you pulled the trigger on LE but mentioned in another post that you received the non-Bond version? Did they run out?

The ebay vendor substituded it and refunded me the difference.

For kicks, I tried on the SM300 at the Beverly Center boutique recently, the watch is unnecessarily bulky in my opinion. The simplicity of the watch at that size gave me the impression of cheapness, which is certainly not the case. I guess I'm a vintage guy until they start bringing the scale down.
By the way the staff was very pleasant.

Didn't realize it was eBay
You sure you didn't get ripped off- a bait and switch?

I hope not

there had been fakes of the SM300 going around.

Search around on WatchRecon, you can find them for a good bit off retail

Talking about money? Then you are right. I thought rochoa21 was asking for a previous model of the Seamaster 300 mc.

I took it to mean he was hoping to find a used, discounted one 😀

I was wondering if there is an older generation of this watch as watches get a few design changes and its a new model.
