Since 1993, the Seamaster Diver 300M has been one of OMEGA’s most recognisable and popular ocean timepieces.
This year, the collection continues its intrepid legacy through a new series of models, which offer a variety of choices in different metallic styles.
The very first of these new watches was spotted earlier this summer, on the wrist of actor and OMEGA ambassador, Daniel Craig, who wore a stainless steel version in black to the Olympic Games Paris 2024. That début appearance ignited a wave of interest and curiosity from watch fans around the world, who have been eagerly awaiting the collection’s official release.
The new Diver 300M series moves away from the familiar ceramic style of recent years – and instead – takes inspiration from the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, which was worn in the James Bond film, No Time To Die.
Most notably, these 42 mm choices feature the same domed sapphire crystal, giving each watch a vintage aesthetic. The mesh bracelets are also the same style featured in the Bond watch, providing an adventurous look around the wrist. For now, the collection offers four different choices. Presented on either mesh bracelets or rubber straps, these include:
- A stainless steel model with a black aluminium bezel and black aluminium dial featuring laser-engraved waves.
- A stainless steel model with a grade 5 titanium bezel and a brushed PVD stainless steel dial.
Continuing OMEGA’s high standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance, each watch is driven by a Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which can be viewed through the sapphire crystal on the caseback.
When the first Seamaster Diver 300M was released in 1993, it marked OMEGA’s powerful return to the world of diving watches – following an iconic legacy throughout the 1960s and 70s. Since then, the style has become a true underwater classic, with distinguishing details such as the wave-patterned dial, the skeletonised hands, and the helium escape valve at 10 o’clock.
