·300MC for me. Perfect balance between modern and classic.
Second place would be the Trilogy. Not too fond of the 300M, I find this latest iteration a bit cartoonish...

There are still a few new items in some Boutiques, I've seen it in Madrid and in Milan...

·I'm in the market for an Omega diver and am after either the trilogy or the 300mc. I think I prefer the smaller size of the trilogy even though I have an 8" wrist. I can certainly wear a 41mm, and in fact own a 45mm PO which fits fine. But I also have a BB58 and absolutely love that size, at 39mm.
Wouldn't it be lovely to be able to just try them on?

·The 300 MC wins it for me. I like the contrast of the white sweeping seconds hands, and the luxurious silence of the 8400 movement's rotor action.
I had the 60th anniversary Seamaster, but ultimately sold it. I really like the proportions of its dial features, case, etc.... but ultimately, 2 key aspects of it contributed me parting with the watch:
1) The loud rotor spin & vibration of the 8806 movement.
2) How shiny that polished steel ring between the crystal and the aluminum bezel was. It kept catch people's eyes in a conference room at work, and would occasionally blind me while I'm driving and the sun's out. I fully brushed the bracelet, but unfortunately couldn't find a local watch maker that was willing to satin-brush that shiny steel bezel ring.
As for the latest generation 2018 Seamaster Diver 300... that Reese's Pieces cup HE valve is a deal-breaker for me. Very satisfied to keep my Casino Royal era 2220.80 rather than upgrade, because I can't see myself ever warming up to the re-shaped helium escape valve on the current model.

·They’re all nice!
But in a world of dive watches “inspired” by vintage/heritage/whatever (meaning all more or less standard fare and looking the same), the trilogy is truly special!
and I am one of the few who thinks the standard fare seamaster is garish and fugly

Trilogy solve that, not the others. You can't find in store to try him all, no longer there.

·300M Diver for me. I find it has more visually interesting details. The others are more understated...which is fine...but I like the 300M more.

I have as small a wrist as I think you'll find on a grown man. I have the predecessor to the Diver you reference on a black rubber strap and it looks great. I have a Ploprof and that also looks great. I agree a test run at a OB will do you some good, but be careful not to immediately discount something based on your initial shock. Take a little time to soak it in. I've never felt it was too big. Of the three, the Diver has the most presence to my eye. Also, I'm not a huge broad arrows fan.

·Picked up the Trilogy over the summer. Chose that over the 300 MC, the OB stated a new MC was on the horizon and I didn't care for the pcl on the bracelet. Received the 300 diver on rubber strap for Christmas. They're totally different, but I love both. A lot probably depends on not only your wrist size but the shape as well. My wrist is 7 1/4 but very flat on top.

·Hello guys,
I just flew back from Morocco and finally had the chance to stop by in a Boutique and try the Seamaster 300 and the Diver. I was transiting from Nice, very nice city by the way... They didn't have any trilogy left unfortunately, I called in Monaco and Cannes Boutiques to check if it was available but nothing...
What to say, two beautiful pieces, the Diver is beautifully made, it's such an amazing dial, I love the kinda "lollipop" second hand and the combination of dark and light... it's maybe slightly big for my wrist but I didn't notice it until I tried the Seamaster 300. Another very nice piece, classic design, I love the time zone function with the hours hand, it's maybe a little thick overall and I would probably like more the slighter bezel of the Trilogy but I was very tempted to get it away with me. Probably the difference of price between this one and the Trilogy makes worth to get the limited edition...
Oh, and I could manage to get the last Lifetime issue, can you believe it's not yet available in Italy?

·Trilogy all day.
As a matter of fact, it’s the best looking Seamaster and SpeedMaster ever produced.
(Except for the original, of course)
The Trilogy set sums up Omega as a brand since inception.
It’s cray that they sell below list, but the dog-on-wrist thingy gone up 10x.
Don’t have my sea-tril yet, that puppy is on its way.
Speed-tril is so purrtty.
