Omega has unveiled a new range of Seamaster Diver 300M watches, blending vintage-inspired design elements with cutting-edge horological innovation. This latest release builds on the iconic collection’s 30-year legacy, offering four distinctive models crafted in stainless steel and titanium, complete with design cues reminiscent of the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition worn by James Bond in No Time To Die.
A Vintage Aesthetic with Modern Appeal
Departing from the ceramic bezels of recent years, the new Seamaster Diver 300M models feature domed sapphire crystals and brushed mesh bracelets, evoking a classic yet adventurous aesthetic. The design draws inspiration from the timepieces seen in Omega’s cinematic and sporting associations. Notably, actor and Omega ambassador Daniel Craig debuted the stainless steel model with a black dial during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, sparking excitement among collectors worldwide.
Each 42mm model offers a unique take on the Diver 300M’s legacy:
