Hello,I have 16,3 cm wrist. I went to the shop and tried it on,but as a nice newbie I took the wrong picture and it seems that now I am more confused. The thing is I am a huge 007 fan and I love how lightweight it is and the looks. Two questions:

1) Would the normal mesh bracelet be okay for myself?

2) If no,would the smaller version solve the problem and if yes this version is exactly the same (material and looks) like the ordinary one ?

You know what I’ve never understood...in the novels and the films, his style is usually very subtle and classy. These aren’t the words I’d usually associate with Omega James Bond limited edition pieces.

My only real criticism of the NTTD Seamaster 300m is the NATO strap not being included with the Milanese bracelet. At nearly £8,000, I think the least Omega could have done was include it as part of the overall package.

Although my Grandad served in the British Royal Navy for 10 years, I think I’m the only person in the family who actually wears Omega. My Dad’s worn Heuer and TAG Heuer watches for the last 40 years, not sure why?!

I agree. I was surprised to open mine and see no NATO alongside the titanium bracelet.

I have owned both bracelets. I think the regular bracelet would be fine for you. The short bracelet only really helps with that gap you have on the inner-side between the bracelet and your wrist. And I think there's a bit less overlap of the strap itself toward the buckle end, but it still sits just as tall.

If it's comfortable then the standard should work fine.

You’re going to need the shorter bracelet, no question about it.
This is the medium-sized bracelet on my 17cm wrist. It’s on the first hole and there’s still a big gap. Made the watch look like a loose piece of jewellery on my wrist.
I wasted no time getting in touch with my local OB and then my AD to get the bracelet switched over. Took around 4 weeks all in all.

Yes the NTTD NATO strap was on back-order when I purchased the watch in February 2022. I had to wait until June 2022 for it to come into stock. Glad I did though because I wanted the complete set.

Since I will buy brand new ,I am tending to ask this one. Thank you

Would you maintain your position knowing that this would not increase the price?

Knowing that it would not affect the price to get the smaller one

Oh, I see what you're saying. Yes. I've owned both. I don't think the smaller one really offered any pro even though I have a small wrist. Little less of a gap but the buckle still sits tall. All comes down to if you are a person that enjoys wearing deployants.

Absolutely love this watch!
I’m a date guy too. I know, I know, yes, it’s just one of those things. I need a date!
But if there ever was a watch without a date I would get, it would be this one!
Love the bracelet too!
I’m wondering if it would fit on my 2254 or 2230?

Took a little time to get used to not having a date but the beautiful symmetry of the Seamaster 300M 007 Edition more than makes up for it.
I no longer check my watch for date anymore, just simply the time. But mostly to admire the wonderful design.
Importantly, it’s what separates the timepiece from the rest of the Seamaster 300M range.
In terms of the milanese bracelet that can be purchased in stainless steel, providing the lug width on your 2254 and 2230 is 20mm I believe it should fit okay.
