I owned the previous version with the Cal.8400 movement and the Liquidmetal bezel. It had the best bezel action and feel of any dive watch I have ever owned including a Submariner, Planet Ocean (3 different versions across two generations), Seamaster 300 1957 Trilogy or Seamaster Diver (3 versions across three generations), Seiko's and Longines. I was very excited to see the new Seamaster 300 but it was a massive disappointment because the bezel is rubbish. I tried on 11 black dial watches and 8 blue dial watches over an 18 month period in two boutiques and several ADs. Every single one had a really poor bezel action, rickety, too much play and too insubstantial in feeling. In several cases the bezel was not aligned correctly and in a few the bezel did not sit straight so was in danger of being popped off. Given the large number of watches tried, the various locations and the time period involved this is not an isolated early production issue it is staggeringly poor quality control and/or design by Omega. So the short answer to your question is, yes, the bezel on these newer Seamaster 300 “Heritage” watches is crap. I did not buy one. Going for a Planet Ocean GMT or Planet Ocean Orange instead.
