- Is the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m killing the Rolex Submariner? In this video I am going to give the Omega Seamaster some well deserved screen time and together we see, what the Rolex-Killer talk is all about!

Omega Seamaster Diver 300m
The current seamaster comes with an increased size, making this one measure 42mm in diameter, with a lug to lug of 49mm and a height of 13,5mm, therefore making it bigger than previous models.
The entire case is made from stainless steel and alternates between a polished or brushed finishing on its surface.
The matte black rubber strap is very durable and - to my surprise - does not show scratches as quickly as I thought it would. The strap itself closes with a regular pin buckle which works just fine.
On the right side of the case sits the crown tightly in-between the crownguards which adds to the 300m water resistance of the case. Right above 10 o clock we also have a helium escape valve, which has been slightly improved and is now only usable when being underwater.
The bezel on this Seamaster 300m has the same ceramic inlay as its previous models but this time the Markers on the bezel are no longer engraved but enameled, making the bezel not only look super glossy but also feel almost completely even.
The dial is made from Zirconium Dioxide making it look very shiny, almost mirror like with some laser engraved waves that honor the design of the very first Seamaster.
The hour markers are perfect circles and sticks, each filled with bright white superluminova, framed by a thin black border
The hands are also similar to the hands on the previous models but, they are also skeletonized with superlumionva applied to it but the they have a way more intense acute angle towards to middle. The hour markers light up in an ice bon bon blue while the hands and the little pearl on the bezel glow in a bright green, making this watch super easy to read in the dark.
The date that has been placed at 6 instead of 3 o clock like we had on the previous models.
Built in is the omega in-house calibre 8800 which is METAS as well as COSC certified.
Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed my review of the Seamaster Diver 300m!

When you said "THISS is the omega seamaster. Today I am going to review it...". My brain automatically filled the rest "..and give it a Doug score"
Lol
i understood that reference
hahahhaahhahahahaaa yeah dude
What about the "quirks and features"? haha
I'm not telling you shit.
I own this and I love it. But let's be real here guys. Watches are personal. What you like may not suit me and vice versa. Get a watch that YOU enjoy regardless of brand, style, or cost. There are a lot of wonderful watches out there.
Totally right except for one point. Even if you want a Sub you shouldn't buy one at least in my eyes. The main reason is you shouldn't support bad behavior. The fact they don't make enough and you have to either wait at least a year or pay way too much money. I really want a Rolex but until they actually care about customers I will never buy one.
Always Bolt the Bird Well said
@@AlwaysBolttheBird I get what you're saying, as someone that's been waiting forever for a GMT-Master II Batgirl, I truly feel your pain. However, the reason Rolex watches hold their value so much better than other brands of similar quality and build (Omega, Breitling, etc.) is the limited supply. So although their methods hurt people looking to buy a Rolex, for those that already have one, their methods help them retain the value. So, I fully get what you're saying... but if I buy anything but what I want, I'm just going to want the Rolex again in 6 months to a year.
2Crassus Crassus have you ever tried to “wait” for a Rolex? In order to even get on a list you usually have to have bought from the jeweler before they will even let you on the list (I know that’s the keeper and not Rolex but just another hurdle to buy a watch) and then you wait three years for something that is just a watch. There is nothing so special about a Rolex that they can’t make more of them. If you think that Rolex doesn’t make more because they care then you are delusional. They make way less to make them seem more special than they are. If they made more and you could just go and buy one people would realize they are no more special than any other watch.
Matthew Russo so basically what you are saying is Rolex is gate keeping. If you already have one great if not we don’t care. I would argue that you shouldn’t buy a watch as an investment. It’s actually a pretty bad investment. You should buy a watch because you want one and want to even pass it down. I would also argue that Rolex watches don’t actually hold value but are so artificially inflated that are just more expensive because you can’t get one.
Omega Seamaster for me all day long. Outstanding engineering at an excellent price point. Plus no ridiculous waiting lists. Thank you jenni for the great review.
Omega is overpriced. I know watches that function better and still look timeless. Also, the helium escape valve is ugly!
@@omgwtfpwnd an ugly wart indeed
@@omgwtfpwnd Omega isn’t the one that is overpriced…Rolex is. Omega has better technology in their watches with the METAS certification and is essentially amagnetic. You could buy a Planet Ocean (or Speedmaster) AND SMP 300m for the price of a Submariner. In addition, their warranty and customer service is highly rated. I own a GMT “Batman” and it took almost 9 months to buy. Try buying one on the grey market…it’s almost double the retail price.
I don't know why so many RUclipsrs love omega so much. 2 years later people still want Rolex over it
Water got into my first Omega Seamaster, not once, but twice! The culprit? The seal inside, I was told. Sold it and got Rolex Sub and then the Grand Seiko Diver SBGA031, and never looked back. Between the last two, hands down the Grand Seiko.
I bought a black SMP 300m last summer to commemorate one year with the company I work for, after changing my life completely around 180 degrees. It’s such a beautiful watch and when I look at it, I get so immersed in its beauty that I forget to look at the actual time 🤣. This watch has sentimental value to me and I will NEVER get rid of it! It’s literally the perfect watch for me.
How does it feel now, 2 years later?
The first thing people think when they see a Rolex is “is it real?” And that’s why the seamaster is absolutely the winner out of the two.
So true
DieselPower lol exactly. They’re all punters anyway as per the Pontiff.
That’s a problem of the person asking the question, not the wearer. Who cares what others think?
That's very positive thinking
Once you're surrounded by the 1% nobody asks "is it real".
I just bought a brand new Seamaster 300M (in blue with a rubber strap) last week! I was shopping for a Breitling Superocean Heritage II, and the AD had her Omega case right next to the Breitlings. I looked over and saw the Seamaster. I put it on and was unexpectedly blown away! I bought it on the spot and absolutely LOVE it. I should say I already have 2 Rolexes (a 1984 GMT Master II "Sophia Loren" and a 1949 dress watch) so I don't have any of that brand envy. I've owned Subs in the past, and I really think the Seamaster is a more beautiful and satisfying watch for my collection.
same thing happened to me in nashua nh omega to the left of breitling now im on my 5th omega dumped the b1 and never looked back nice choice enjoy
I bought one of these but I can’t help but notice when I tap the watch it has a little rattle. Does yours do the same and is this normal ?
the Sophia Loren - now that's a beautiful piece
Beautiful watch and no wait. Walked into a local authorized dealer and walked out with the black dial version 30 minutes later...
One point that I see everyone failing to raise in those comparisons is "how modern" the watch looks. If you buy a watch to complete your image and so you care about its design & style (which is more common than caring about its tech specs), the Seamaster divers is a watch that screams 21th century loudly... it has fine details, shiny materials, perfect engravings... it's rich and detailed. It's MODERN. The Sub is awesome, but it clearly shows its design years, it's "classic". If they were cars, the submariner would be the Ferrari 512bb, the Seamaster would be the F12 berlinetta. I think the choice between the sub and the 300m diver is mostly about the different image you want to project, not the tech specs (which I disagree with you: they are not on par, they are MUCH in favour of the Omega).
Totally well said budd
I agree with you that this Seamaster being modern and a Submariner being classic. In 20 years time, this Seamaster will be dated, while a Sub continues to be timeless. Just look at how dated a 1990s Seamaster is vs a submariner from that era, and their prices on used market strongly reflected that as well.
@@tonyfu2200 I agree with you, but perhaps not for the reason you think. what makes the sub design stand the time is actually the fact that rolex doesn't change it. The problem with omega is their lack of will to stick to a design and commit for decades to it. The current seamaster will be "old" because omega will release 10 new divers in the next 10 years, all different.
@@tonyfu2200 My brother has a Rolex Submariner from 1987 and looks like crap he agrees with me. The bracelets is stamped and feels like crap and the movement is nothing to brag about. A new Rolex Submariner will always be better than an old one. In my opinion.
The challenge with the "modern" look of the Seamaster, is how soon before it looks dated and out of style?
The last time Rolex invented something new, I fell of my dinosaur.
Off?
🤣
Caliber 9001 ?
Coming from an omega fanboy btw
@Madden Emmett how bout both of you shut the fuck up?
for the most part true, I'll give them credit for the Sky dweller movement in 2012 that one is pretty cool
It's only natural to do the Moonwatch and Aqua Terra 41mm next.
or a Planet Ocean! I have the Aqua Terra GMT, Planet Ocean, and the new Seamaster ceramic! A speedy is next on my list
I would love an Aqua Terra at 41 not too sure about the Moonwatch
Very nice review, thanks. I have a 2000’s 16610 and a Seamaster PO with the 2500 movement, both massively different watches and I would never choose one over the other, I wear them on different days and for different occasions so I love them both.
The Seamaster is available to purchase. I got one, barely used, and still under the 5-year warranty for $4000.00. Perfect condition. It's not going to find its value go up as the Submariner has, and the PP Natilus, and the AP Royal Oak. It is going to hold value and with time depreciate a little but essentially it is not a watch to buy as an investment like Rolex and the others, but is a watch to WEAR and to be proud of! Thanks for a great review, and your reviews are always honest, which is why we love ya!
To be honest. I’d listen to this lady talk about toasters.
same here, same here…
The accent is relaxing
She’s so precise yet relaxing
Actually every night I play one of her videos to help me relax and have a good sleep.
@@markkelly3739 yeah sure that's why you play it
Absolutely killing it. One of the best watch channel. All your videos are a must watch for me now. Keep it up, very good job,
You need to see this dial in real life to appreciate how beautiful it is. Just got mine, have always wanted a Seamaster (due to bond connection), went to buy the blue and saw this white and fell in love with it. ❤️
I call mine "the great white" 🦈
A very nice review with thoughtful commentary. For many the submariner is the preferred option but availability is a major problem. I have never considered this before since I once owned a seamaster GMT white dial with an ETA 2892 that i loved until it took a knock killing its timekeeping accuracy. This would be a great replacement.
Again a fantastic review and a beautiful piece, your voice is such a joy to listen too. Look forward to your next episode 😉👌🏽
I bought this watch today and love the white dial. Your video helped me pick white over black and blue. I love it so far!
No wonder the sub cannot be found in ADs, they were all killed :)
Rolex's Superlative is +2/-2, they don't do the regular COSC which is +6/-4.
I personally think the blue and the grey dials to be the most interesting. If you are not crazy about the Rolex hype, this Omega is a better buy.
killazx9 the blue and grey on bracelet is under 4K on watchmaxx.
It’s been the hottest day of the year here in the UK today and I’ve been wearing my ceramic blue Seamaster outdoors. It’s been the first time I’ve really noticed how the shade of blue changes in the sunlight. It’s stunning.
I prefer the white.
I would go further and say that the grey dial one is the most unique.....just stands out of the crowd without dazzling you.
I purchased my seamaster pro 600m approx in 2007 and have worn it so hard over the years. Including multiple scuba dive trips, uncountable salt water fishing, snorkeling and week long white water rafting trips. It still looks great and I had it looked at by a watch maker today who says it is within specifications but he would replace the seals due to the age. I have zero complaints about omega and would happily buy another. I was actually there looking at the seamaster 007, railmaster and the seamaster 300 heritage models.
Hi Jenni, I believe that the SMP 300 is definitely better than the Sub due to the fact it is readily available in the boutique and also a lot cheaper and you can get a discount. I have the blue dial with rubber strap as my daily beater and with the ceramic bezel, dial design and antimagnetic movement, it beats the s
Sub hands down as I own the Kermit and made the comparison myself. I know the Sub model that I have is pre-ceramic however comparing both watches with the pricing, definitely Omega SMP300 kills the Submariner.
Jenni, thanks so much for your review and other videos. I've just ordered a Seamaster 300m with the white dial after weighing up the alternatives that you mentioned. The Rolex just isn't for me and (for me) is a little less contemporary. I got one with a steel bracelet but ordered a black strap for a less formal alternative. Thanks again! Truly an everyday watch
great, high professional, personable and warm presentation! Thank you very much Jürgen
Absolutely love that you reviewed this Watch! Omega fan for life!
Such a great quality of review, so I subscribed.I have been looking at this watch for a while and you confirmed my view of this watch. Thank you.
I've now seen a number of your presentations. So I hope that you don't mind me saying that you're just the right balance of seriousness and cheerfulness. And also, thanks for the excellent review of one of my favorite watches.
the right balance of seriousness and cheerfulness, that's how I'd describe most German gals I know
Because of your first video and you Jenni, i have purchased this Omega Seamaster 300m with black dial and black rubber strap.
First time i trust a stranger, first time i am satisfied with a stranger. What. A. Timepiece. Thanks so much for your input and great taste.
Very nice review, as far as the rotors making loud noises go. It's the ceramic washers they are using now to reduce the friction and wear and tear.
JLC uses them as well with some of their movements!
My favorite variation of this watch, incredible shots!
Hi Everyone !!! Great show Jenni !! I personally owned a Rolex DeepSea James Cameron and a Rolex Explorer II Polar 42mm, also owned an Omega Planet Ocean Michael Phelps 45.5 and a Omega Planet Ocean GMT 43.5 mm and this my firs Omega a very special Watch the Omega Seamaster blue dial I purchased in 1995 inspired in the James Bond movie Golden Eye, love that watch this watch was the beginning of my next passion Watches can’t thanks enough Omega, I decide to passed to my son, now with this new Seamaster 300 am in love 😍 again with this model specially with the this new dial and bezel make this watch a stunning piece the and let me tell you something Jenni you pick the perfect Seamaster white dial rubber strap stunning watch, am going to be honest the Seamaster is a better Watch for the money 💰 you can’t go wrong with the Seamaster superb quality, in house movement, 5 years Warranty definitely a bargain if you compare with the Rolex Submariner take care guys

In these days I was doing some researches online for my next important watch purchase that maybe will be in the next year. In the short list there is also this Omega 300 and I thought that it would have been great to watch your review of this piece and here you are! So great timing Jenni, thank you.
I'm following 30+ watch channels, and I would say that yours has the best video production quality of them all, especially the hi-resolution close up sequences. Keep up the great work!!
Omega is definitely doing some good stuff lately. I wouldn’t really say the bracelet is inferior to the Submariner. It’s quite nice actually. Maybe the micro adjustment is not as intuitive as the Rolex, but the build quality is definitely there.
Your English with German accent is very soothing.
Very nice and quite detailed review. Undoubtedly, the new Omega Seamaster 300m is big improvement on previous generation. Both, on mechanics and on aesthetics ! This new model is absolutely on a par with Rolex Submariner !
This is the first video I’ve watched on your channel and I’m so impressed! Well done and can’t wait to see more.
On a side note, which color is your favorite on the 300M? The black and rose gold really stands out to me.
gotta say jenni, these videos are impressive! and i'm becoming a huge fan of the channel
great reviews, great products and great video as well! 10/10!
personally, i've been looking to get a seamaster with the grey and blue dial, i think it's a pretty balanced watch and can't wait to get one!
Hoping that 2020 is the year the watch websites, forums, and RUclips channels team up to take the legs out of this ridiculously overinflated Rolex market. There are just sooo many other great watches to discuss and review under $10k.
Great channel, keep it up! :-)
I recommend You learn bit about the amazing history of watches #MoonwatchUniverse
Unfortunately people who can actually make the difference are celebrities and influencers. People don't like Rolex because of its craftsmanship, history, or reliability, they like it because it's the hype
Great, hoping one stupidity and hype to be the cure for another stupidity and hype. Do you even hear yourself?
@@sobeit712 Is that directed at me? You want to elaborate on your argument? How else do you believe the hype for Rolex will die down? How else do you think previous hypes have die down? Because people chasing hype found something else to focus on, and the hype for the previous product died down. If people believe and continue to believe that Rolex is the symbol of wealth and want to own that part of the product, this hype won't end.
Happy to hear why you think that's a stupid argument.
@@rousseau327 No, the comment was directed at wingeren. As for the question on how to cure hype, that's the question of the century isn't it? People just need to be conscious and sensible about the things they invest their money and energy in. Simply put, when you have a clear mind and are conscious in your decision making, you will be less impulsive and driven by hypes. Otherwise, what he was saying and further illustrated by you is using one distraction to overcome another obsession.
Excellent review! Very clear and complete explanation. Love the macro shots!
Hi I own both Omega and Rolex and love them equally
The bracelet has always let the Seamaster down in my opinion. That said, I have both the Rolex and the Seamaster (40mm) and Omega gets much more wrist time. If Omega would improve the bracelet and make this model in a 39 or 40, they world have both a Sub and Black Bay 58 killer. Love the videos.!!!!
Agreed the bracelet is garbage. If they drop the HEV and use sword hands then they really could compete with the sub and pelagos and others
yes - the bracelet absolutely sucks. They need to give it an oyster bracelet with a decent taper. The movement is oustanding so just need to get that bracelet sorted.
If Omega would make a 38 or 39mm version of this I would be all over it! But right now 42mm is just too big for my tastes
I'm in the same boat with regards to the planet Ocean with white dial and orange bezel. That's 43.5mm which is utter lunacy, they do a PO in 39.5mm but not the white and orange colours. It they release it I'll be ordering immediately.
Same here ..I ended up with an SKX013...It's made me think ...
monochrome-watches.com/smaller-is-better-case-study-with-the-39-5mm-omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-600m/
I've got the 36mm and you don't notice the 2mm difference at all. The lug to lug is large enough that it doesn't look bulky or overly small. Might want to check that one out!
the sub is 41, why the obsession with small watches? not hating, just doesn’t make sense to me, guess its just preference...
Thaaaanks Jenni,
I love the production quality and camera shots. and you do amazing reviews.
I have a 20 year old Seamaster Chrono. It’s as good today, as the day it came out of the box! I’m not sure I’d ever own a Rolex. Love the videos. Nice job.
Great quality video! I got both the Sub and the Seamaster Pro and even though they are competitors, you can hardly compare them. They are both amazing watches, but both in very different ways. Personally I disagree about the bracelet and actually find this the clearest aspect where the Omega is better. The Rolex bracelet looks better and more refined, but the Omega bracelet feels extremely well made and the Omega push system in the clasp works easier and more accurate than the Rolex glidelock. The only aspect where the Sub is clearly better is the bezel action. The Omega bezel is good, but the one on the Sub is just the best...
for the price where you could get 3 different omega seamaster pros, definitely wins than 1 Rolex sub
I love the sound of your voice and accent. Sincerely from America
OK you are right
nice review again Jenni - you have now reviewed 2 of my watches in your recent videos as I have the black dial seamaster and the rhodium OP39. I have had a ceramic submariner and sold it as it got little wrist time once I bought a 16710 GMT master II. the seamaster is a "better" watch than the sub in many ways but the rolex model is a superstar and I would fully understand why people will accept nothing less than a sub and hence the silly prices. at one third the cost and available the seamaster is the thinking man's choice.
I’m enjoying your vids , they are very uplifting and informative in all the right ways 👍😎
That dial is what makes it really special. Those lines are so damn elegant.
Beautiful! Omega too!
I'm really enjoying your videos-great perspective and interesting points of view. Love this watch-short list for sure. I had the black version and flipped it, but this has more pop to it, especially with the black strap!
Amazing video and even more amazing video quality. Great job Jenni. Excellent video.
The white dial on bracelet is just perfect.
Jenni, you mentioned the rotor inside the Seamaster as being loud. I would love for you to tackle the new 3235 movement by Rolex as those are cement mixers in the back!
@Jason Holt Wouldn't the fact that one case back is crystal and the other steel make a difference in rotor sound? My Seamster is definitely not loud but not completely silent either.But unless you bring the watch to your ear, you will not hear it.
3235 is as silent as they get
@Mark Michael Watch clockbait's video on the Batman. It's due to the ceramic ball bearings on the rotor and it is noticeable. I have both right in front of me. No comparison.
@Mark Michael TBH I don't mind that much but it certainly matches some of my Seikos. And is blindingly obvious when next to my 5 digit sub.
Jenni, love your program. Based on your review the Omega is better technically and less expensive. Especially when it comes to the antimagnetic attributes of the Omega. I agree a Rolex is a Rolex but I believe branding should be left out of a straight comparison when it comes to tool watches. Keep up the great programming!
Jenni,
Thank you for the information about locating a watches certification results. I just bought a PLANET OCEAN 600M and it was nice to find the actual testing results. I like all of the content your making. Keep up the good work and look forward to future episodes.
I like the white dial - it seems less busy than the dark one.
The refresh is absolutely stunning. I’m keeping an eye out for pre-owned models myself.
Peter Mhina I’ve gotten a couple of cheaper watches from Joma, but hesitate to go for a luxury purchase there. Report back if you have any issues
I saw the blue one at a dealer last week and fell in love. Keep in mind it's a "professional Diver's watch", so the rubber strap has to be constructed like that (wrapping around the diver's suit). The bracelet has a quick adjuster for that, like on the Submariner.
just got the blue dial on steel bracelet. and i'm happy to report, that it feels amazing! loving every second i have it on my wrist. cheers for the review, really helped me made my mind on purchasing the watch
Just purchased the Aqua Terra with a black dial! Also, I wanted to thank you for creating your channel. Great content so far, looking forward to the videos to come.
I own the seamasete and is amazing,you miss to mention co-axial for omega.... I think sub vs seamaster you choose witch you love most because you sed and I agree in terms of quality is the same...
Hooray! A genuinely brilliant new watch channel, hope you guys have it go from strength to strength.
Beautiful dial. Very clean and legible. It reminds me a bit of the Rolex Polar Explorer II. Not crazy about the rubber strap, but that can be changed easily. But you can see the Omega quality, fit and finish. And the best part of is that you can probably walk into an Omega AD and get it right away without a waitlist.
This white and black sea master is gorgeous.
I have an older Seamaster and after seeing this video, I want a white one! Stunning design and the lume looked fantastic
New models are too big
Always fun to look at your video. Keep on smiling Elle. Thank you and have a nice week ahead. Can't wait till your next video.
Beyond thorough review. Nice closeup footage too. Cheers!
5:15 super cool lume shot
Great video on a great watch. Will we ever get to see your personal collection?
Jenni Elle, I think you do a complete and logical analysis of professional watches. You are doing a Great Job ! C
Keep it up Jenni.
Thank you. Really enjoying the channel,watching from Canada. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Jenni been waiting for this. Lume looks nice. Favourite omega model
Excellent review
Perfectly executed video. Every line is a fresh piece piece of information cutting straight to the point.
Also. You might want to also make a video on the watch industry and swatch group as a whole and perhaps, the rather underrated brands such as Oris.
Also. Do you do watch consultations? If you do, count me in as your next client.
I got my Seamaster 300M in blue about three years ago. I did replace the standard clasp with the adjustable clasp for about $100 plus tax. This is my everyday watch. My watch is the previous model 41mm without the wave dial and with the date in the 3 o'clock position. I could not be happier with this watch, and I have a few grand extra in my bank account vs Rolex.
I have just picked up this watch in the James Bond edition with the swirl dial. Absolutely beautiful.
Oliver Truby how long you had it and does it feel as good as it looks?
It’s the one omega that just keeps calling me, I’ve had few vintage omega’s but not new models.
I’ve pulled trigger on 4 tudors in a year and just held a p01.
That bond edition looks sublime hope you enjoy it.
Andrew Jenkins picked it up on Saturday, not usually a fan of rubber straps but it works so well! Came with the bracelet too which is comfy. I have a black bay and an Explorer and haven’t taken the Seamaster off yet! Huge fan.
Any negatives so far & love to see how you feel about it it 6 - 12 months in
Hope you enjoy it
I might have to pick one up just for nostalgia’s sake. My uncle was the sound producer for James Bond from Dr. No through Octopussy and was close personal friends with Sean Connery. That would be a fun talking point at family reunions!
I don't have the Bond edition but it still looks and says BOND JAMES BOND, I'm sure the Queen would approve👍🏼
The black bezel, white dial combo is insane. If I didn’t have a polar explorer, I’d run out now to get one, but I’ll probably settle on the blue.
I'm in that position now, have a black SMP 300 but been lusting after the polar dial. Do you think I should make the jump? I'm getting a good deal with 216570 at $9800
This is a great review. As the owner of both brands, the Omega Co-axial Master Chronometer movement is superior to the Rolex movement, but they are really two different watches. The Rolex is is likely to maintain its value better than the Omega; not because of substance, but because of perception. Both brands have driven each other to an industry-best 5 year warranty. I don't think you can go wrong with either brand, but I personally wouldn't buy a Rolex right now. The wait and/or prices are ridiculous.
I had the previous generation and sold it, but this one corrects almost all of the things I didn’t like about the old one (the only one it didn’t correct is that I HATED the bracelet). However I could see one of these on a rubber strap making it’s way into my collection. I fully believe that this watch is the equal of the 2020 subs and is better than the first 6 digit ones, however I’ll take a 5 digit sub over any modern diver (barely over my bb58). If I was buying only one brand new dive watch in 2020 it would be the BB58 or the 300m
I have just let go of my Omega Seamaster after 15 years without any problems not even a service needed absolutely flawless, so I have replaced it with another (updated version) & just to say I could have had a Rolex deep sea James Cameron tho a beautiful timepiece just unnecessary for my needs..I always say buy the watch you like not what everyone else likes!
3:40 dust particle near date window. Despicable!... still thinking of getting one next month :)
I think you're seeing things mate
Once seen, you can’t unsee it 👍🏻
I thought it was a toast crumb on my iPad, but I bow to your exemplary observation.
In 2004 I bought my first luxury watch, it’s was a Omega Seamaster blue dial and stell bracelet, the James Bond model. Love that watch and I’ll never sell it. This version is an upgrade, I like it
Great video Jenni. I purchased an Omega Seamaster Diver 300m and I really like it.
Can you do a review on Longines HydroConquest? Please
Just received mine. My first ever luxury watch. Saved for years and years so this means a lot to me. Got it on a orange strap at the moment and looks great.
Congrats ! Beautiful time piece!
@@wdanielt419871987 thanks Daniel! It hasn’t left my wrist since.
Jenni, You did an incredible job of comparing and contrasting the two watches. I have the last generation 300M in blue and I love the watch.
Was really hoping you would do a video on the Omega Seamaster, and you did! Happy is an understatement.
Great video!
I just love everything about the Seamaster Diver 300m. The blue version will be my next purchase later this year. As I have a 6.7-inch wrist, I was afraid that it might be too large at first. However, it looks and feels great.
One of these is my grail watch... I just can't make up my mind about which color I like best! Thanks Jenni!
I purchased the Blue variant of this, I highly recommend it to everyone considering this watch because you essentially get 3 different dial colors depending on the lighting situation. Daylight gives you a bright ocean blue, indoor lighting gives you vibrant navy, and low light situations give you a dark navy/ black dial look. Hope my input gives some food for thought!
I’m with you there, can’t decide on a colour. Love this white, but then see the grey face with blue bezel... I agree the blue looks awesome as well
The black on rubber strap is an imposing version of this imposing watch..i went for it after the rubber strap felt so comfortable and it's great.
@@metalobliteration My experience, too.
Black and gold with the rubber strap is the one! Love.
Excellent review! I’ve been dreaming of one day owning a Seamaster; this white dial example is simply breath-taking. Thank you very much for showing it to us.
I really like your video, nice and clear voice, very good to improve the listening and watches knowledge!
Finally you made an Omega Seamaster review. I would also add this is the absolute best option for an entry luxurious watch... way better than a Rolex Oyster! The movement is hands down better than that of Rolex and so is the overall specs sheet.
it's better than an OP for sure but worse than a Tudor pelagos which is an interesting consideration
Absolutely magnificent timepiece.
Superb quality. And also twice cheaper than a sub!
I have an Omega, the older PO with cal 2500, that I dearly love. I find this current SMP 300 a nice-looking piece although I wish the He escape valve is a bit smaller. Omega has been putting out amazing timepieces this past decade and surely they have been gaining fans all over. Let's get real though... you can not kill the sub. It has a cult following that runs deep and for generations. Plus the sub's look, as cliche as it may sound, is timeless. Cheers!
Jenni= best new watch content/ channel on RUclips. Almost instantly in my Subscriptions.
No watch kills the Rolex Submariner every diver watch wants to kill the Submariner the Submariner is one of the most iconic watches in the world its iconic, timeless, classic, king of cool Steve Mcqueen wore one sells above retail price there's no Substitute when it comes to Rolex Submariner. If you want the next best thing its got to be the Omega Seamaster 300 42m blue dail
The Tudor Pelagos is another alternative - quite close on spec and price

Rolex reintroduced the Tudor as a counter to Omega. This makes Omega compete with Tudor not Rolex....... Nice positioning!
Armando Sturzenegger
Yes. Rolex introduced the Tudor name in 1926, and for many years it was a lower price model using the same Rolex oyster case, but fitted with ETA movements. As such they were very popular with the military, including the US Navy Seals.
They started winding down production around 2000, but in 2009 they were reintroduced, probably to counter the Omega range.
@@rosshilton not to counter the range but to reinforce the gap and elevate the brand
I got the Blue dial in Nov 19. Upscale and modern. You can wear this watch anywhere and it keeps great time!
Watched this video yesterday and got this watch today. My first proper watch and totally loving it!
