Possible new 300m spotted on Daniel Craig

[ErichPryde]

I originally saw this on reddit, the images are from Instagram and Reddit:

This watch appears to be a black no date Seamaster 300M, similar to the 60th anniversary or the nttd. It most closely resembles the 60th except for the fact that it is black and has a standard bezel.





I would honestly be pretty curious to see a standard SMP no date version, if that is what this is.

Just saw an article about this too.

https://www.gearpatrol.com/watches/daniel-craig-no-date-seamaster/

Line from the article
"Omega confirmed to me in an email that Craig is indeed wearing an unreleased no-date Seamaster, and stated that the watch will be released later this year."

Ya making a big deal on Reddit I kinda like his shoes tbh

Looks like the secret service model, no ?

No, it's not. Craig's appears to have no waves (could be wrong on this) and lume is white instead of the offwhite on the SS model.

Is it not just a black version of the Bond 60th? Go once more to the well Omega!

While I like the curved crystal and no date dial of that and the NTTD, that bracelet is not a winner to me either in steel or titanium form. I am surprised Staib came up with such a poor design, they normally make excellent stuff. If you don't know what I mean, try one and see how badly it fits and how fat it is near the clasp. Not great.

If this still has the big-wave ceramic dial and the standard flat crystal it could be really dangerous.

If they can resist putting a bunch of stupid James Bond $h!t all over it and just make it a regular no-date Seamaster (akin to the 124060), I’m all over it.

 

[Annapolis]

Also, maybe this is wishful thinking, but does he have massive wrists or is it possible they downsized the watch? (It’d be so clutch if it were 39mm.)

I dub thee Submaster!

This looks pretty thin...

Yes! Agree 100%. Please make it a 39mm or 40mm max. That'll be the perfect size.

 

[ErichPryde]

And @Annapolis honestly the issue with the SMP isn't really the 42 mm case size so much as it is the ~50mm lug to lug, which is greater than both the heritage and Speedmaster. This is a 42 mm with crown guard case, similar to the Speedmaster- yet manages to wear bigger. And it wears bigger than the 41mm with no guard heritage, which is technically a "bigger" case.

Giving it similar case dimensions to the 165 and 166 seamasters or speedy, with a L2L of 47.5mm or 48mm, makes a lot more sense.

Edit: see correction two posts down

That's my biggest issue with the current Seamaster. The L2L is just too big for my wrist so I never got the latest Seamaster.

Actually no. Speedmaster is 42mm with crown guard case, Seamaster is 42mm in the bezel. If you add the crown guard it's larger than 42mm.

Interesting, I appreciate the correction. So, ~40mm to the bezel would put it real close to current speedy dimensions


Edit: for what reason in nine blue hells would Omega measure these cases so differently? Ffs.

Looks like black lacquer dial like the recently released Aqua Terras. Honestly wish Omega would make a 39mm version of the Seamaster, its an instant buy.

Below I've attached a slightly higher quality version of the image already posted.

Obviously has the bracelet and domed crystal of the 60th anniversary, and is obviously a no date. Does not have the 60th anniversary lollipop seconds hand or bezel.

The dial is hard to tell, I don't think it looks like the big wave ceramic, and it definitely doesn't have the current Diver 300M minute track, it has the 60th track. But can't really make out a wave pattern like the 60th. I would say either it is a plain black dial, or it has a 60th style wave pattern and the light just isn't catching it.

The hour and minute hands look standard, and the seconds hand is a standard hand without a red tip - makes sense as the Seamaster lettering on the dial is not red either. This is definitely a full monochrome black SMP.

The bezel is interesting too. It almost looks like the current Diver 300M bezel, but it looks to me like the dots under numerals are all the same size. Both the current Diver 300M and 60th have slightly larger line dots underneath the numerals. I think this could possibly be a new standard issue bezel revision?

With the domed crystal and milanese bracelet, I doubt this is a standard model. But I like the direction Omega is going with the SMP, a bit back to basics. This could be a winner.

sincerely hope that you are incorrect; omega's domed sapphires are fantastic at this point. Honestly can't say for sure if it is or isn't though. We'll see!

Either way- it's a very nice update.

I'd be happy to be wrong on the point of the domed sapphire. I have nothing against it, but for a mainline SMP reference, I feel like they would be more conservative. Whatever they've done with the dial though, I think it's really promising. I do hope the watch is smaller in diameter, lug to lug and thickness though. The Professional should be sleek IMO.

I am far more confident though that the milanese wouldn't be the standard issue bracelet, it's just not mainstream enough in fit or style. But they could just be wanting to showcase the watch head only and either don't care about the bracelet because it isn't changing (other than the subtle link shape revision recently), or want to reveal a new bracelet later. Fingers crossed for a taper and micro adjust, if so...

Here's a mockup. I've assumed a wave dial here, possibly wishful thinking as one of the other photos certainly does look plain dial, but oh well.
