Would you wear this? (No bezel 300 professional diver)

I enjoy having the diving bezel for timing, but I also think the no-diving-bezel option would look ok. The proportions (of dial to plain bezel) in the photoshopped image are probably a little off from what Omega would do (if they ever offered such a watch, which I highly doubt), but the overall look is appealing imo.

I’m constantly falling in and out of love with my blue wave SMP. It’s glorious to behold but about 2-3mm bigger than it should be and the damn clasp is silly in its enormity and has serious QC problems. Have already had to replace one; now the replacement is acting up. This is a known issue, as I learned, but apparently Omega isn’t fixing it as well as they think they are. Annoying, as odds are high that when it fails it will fail on the wrist, leaving you unable to remove the watch—at least without considerable time and effort and risk of damaging the finish on the bracelet. I may end up selling mine soon…

If you were to use the 300Pro as a template and discard the He-valve, make the crown and crown guards protude a good deal less. The He-valve balances the design on the Pro and removing it throws that aspect off, IMO.

I rarely see this reference, but everytime I do, I am drawn to it. Very nice piece. The two-tone version, on the other hand, does nothing for me.

Haven’t seen those before, like the look without the HEV valve. There are a couple of Jacques Mayol SM’s without HEV valve but only on the mid size, also the Great White and anniversary GMT’s have the no HeV design as well

That is strange.... as far as I know the majority of all SMP Diver 300M all have the HEV valve
