Very cool, thanks for sharing this! Is the „original“ Tritium given how much it faded to yellow? That looks special by itself.

I'd go for the Goldeneye original. Not only does it stand out in those pics, it's the only model of the three to have appeared in an actual James Bond movie.

The slim case size of the original is unmatched! Also I am quite bothered by the "60" instead of the Lume Pipe on the 60th anniversary (I get it.. it's "60"th anniversary but I can't unseen that"

loving the new 60th anniversary - that dial with the updated wave pattern is rad, and the slightly darker blue too

I like the color, I like the dial but I can't stand the pop second hand and the 60 instead of the lume pip and the domed saphire.

This color with this dial on a regular smp300 would have been even better than the actual one! Truer to the original but with modern movement and materials.

I'd rather there be a lume pip, but that aside, I really like the 60th anniversary.

Made the video eventually...
To me - contemporary standard blue ceramic SMP wins.
Curious of your opinion.

Great comparison! I like how the 60th bezel almost looks black at certain angles. Definitely prefer the old style small wave pattern. 60th is awesome but I do also like the old small HEV and small bezel numbers.

I think that the 60th looks fantastic. The deep blue, the classic wave dial is much more subtle compared to the current one which I prefer, the large font on the bezel. Not a fan of the bracelet and would definitely go for the classic bracelet.
Haven’t seen it in real life and can help wonder if the extra thickness would be a problem.
Never was a fan of the original blue bond but third and fourth generation both looks fantastic.

I always enjoy seeing your videos. Great comparison but it’s a difficult choice for me.

I believe Omega stopped using Tritium EOY 1997 or thereabouts, so the first ~2 years of production of this Seamaster had tritiumed markers. 👍

Someone PMed me asking what the difference is between this and the guy this morning, the answer is Butik has been a much more active member and was honest and up front that it was his own content rather than talking about it in the third person.
