Following on from last week’s review of the Omega De Ville Prestige watch, for the latest Watch of the Week we are pleased to present another variation in the revered Seamaster family; namely the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial watch. This exquisite timepiece is actually a midsized chronometer, meaning that it could just as easily be featured as a watch for discerning men, although it is undoubtedly peerless in its suitability as a sporty ladies’ wristwatch. Carrying with it all the intrinsic heritage expected of Omega Seamaster watches, the Diver 300M Co-Axial is a marvellous timepiece for any occasion.
A full 80 years after the very first diver’s watch from Omega, the Seamaster collection of timepieces is still highly acclaimed by men and women alike. The design of this Seamaster Diver 300M is heavily based upon a timeless classic from 1957, although the brand name has remained true to its commitment to constant innovation by furnishing this chronometer with an assortment of modern trimmings. As a fully certified divers’ timepiece that can be used within depths of 30 bar (300 metres), the timepiece benefits from a screw-in crown and caseback to maintain precision at all times. Omega has also equipped the Seamaster with a helium escape valve, allowing it to function in even the most demanding of environments.
In terms of aesthetics, the Seamaster Diver 300M undeniably excels. The 36mm stainless steel case with its twinned bracelet is perfectly suited to a formal occasion or an active evening of exercise, whilst this minimalist design is lent a striking sense of contrast through the addition of a jet black dial. The hands and baton numerals on the dial are outlined in a stylish white colour, along with the 3 o’clock date aperture, infusing the entire timepiece with a flavour of contemporary elegance. Plated in Rhodium, the ‘skeleton’ hands and indexes are also coated in Super-LumiNova, meaning that the dial is subtly apparent in blue even within dim light. Even the caseback exudes class with an embossed seahorse emblem, proving that Omega has paid all due attention to features which might lie outside the field of regular vision.
Everything about this Seamaster is optimised to ensure an accomplished standard of performance over an extended period of longevity. The unidirectional rotating bezel is a specific consideration that takes into account the particular needs of a professional diver; however this augmentation has then been scratch proofed to stand true against prolonged daily wear and tear. The domed and sapphire resistant crystal has been treated to similarly rigorous protective measures. As has already been stated, this model comes equipped with a famed Omega Co-Axial calibre 2500 movement, and this innovation also lends an increased level of stability that necessitates far less maintenance than might be normal.
Not content with longevity, Omega has also equipped this timepiece with a 48 hour power reserve and a 2 year warranty to ensure matchless functionality. The rounded links of the bracelet have been optimised to ensure a comfortable fit, and an easily usable clasp has also been made use of to ensure further practicality. Whilst the engineering within this watch is indubitably impressive, the timepiece never verges upon becoming clumsy in its proportions, and remains ideally suited for any active modern lifestyle.
