These are an end of model life cycle transitionary model. It makes no sense to run Seamasters in two seperate case sizes this close to the end of life cycle. The new Seamasters are coming next year. These new 42mm models are to maintain interest in a product line until the new models are released. The new one will come with different case size options, a new redesigned tapering bracelet and a date or no date model. Expect it second half of 2025.
Lets be honest mate - they have given us less for a more expensive price. No date and no microadjust on that crappy Milanese bracelet...but oooooo aluminium. KA-CHING.
Exactly the way I see it. I'm painfully underwhelmed. I'm afraid Omega has been reduced to cashing in on the enormous strength of their name, raising prices but churning out inferior quality under the cover of "vintage". I find myself really getting into the microbrands, especially Christopher Ward. Excellent video though for sure.
@@modano182 The milanese bracelet is not crap though just because it doesn't fit you. Keep in mind it comes in 3 different sizes. I have it on my SMP and it looks great and very comfortable.
1000000000% this thing is way off track! I don’t want to pay MORE for an aluminum bezel, no date, a cheaper bracelet and the same outdated 55hr PR 8800 series movement.
Favorite Seamaster is still the Seaweed (Green) SMP300. It's colour is just SO versatile, looks black in some lighting, bright green in others and then this lovely deep seaweed green in daylight.
So, basically.... cheaper alu bezel, cheaper dial, less complex complication, cheaper bracelet..... and it's 600 euro's more than the current seamaster. I'm wearing a 300m right now, so I like Omega watches, but that company is worse than Rolex.
Bezel is not cheaper. It’s just in another material and fully lumed. I bet you this bezel is more expensive to produce than the regular ceramic one. The dial is the same story - aluminum dial with that heavily worked on pattern might also be more expensive to produce. I am with Adrian. This might be the best smp300 yet.
I doubt you will be in the minority. The mesh bracelet from omega is lovely quality but it doesn’t fit well cos the holes are too far apart. Plus it’s easy to get after market mesh bracelets for Seamasters. I’ve got one for each of my Seamasters and they fit better than the omega one would.
And thinner. 13.8 mm means this watch is thicker than the standard seamaster which is 13.6 mm and much thicker than the NTTD which is 13.0 mm. NTTD still remains king.
Seamaster 300m Mid-Size 2262.50.00 quartz movement. Bought this in 2003 and it only stopped ticking when I’ve had the battery changed. Never serviced, looks as new as the day it was purchased and is still insanely accurate. The ultimate tool watch by a country mile.
I have the NTTD Seamaster and I really like it, it’s awesome. The issue with these two new releases is that these are steel which is heavy, rather than lighter titanium.
The black dial is a 'vintage inspired model' hence the aluminium bezel, while the steel on steel is a 'modern take that uses new technology and materials" when really its just had a nekton bezel bolted on and they've found excess material left over from the brushed steel dials on the recently discontinued Railmasters. These models are transitionary end of life cycle brand awareness parts bin models. The redesigned Seamasters will release second half of next year.
Agreed. They’re swapping out the ceramic bezel and zirconium dial for cheaper aluminium , and getting rid of the date function but charging you more for it all.
This is why I watch many different RUclipsrs. I completely missed no AR on the outside of the crystal. That’s a game changer for me. Also, I didn’t know it was the same shape as the FOIS.
Love to see the electric blue in this format, with sword hands and solid lume in the pattern of the old electric blue.. which i own and is my favourite.
MAMACOO is one of my favorite watch manufacturers they do offer beautifull dials, good workmanship & moovements.That smooth sweeping second hand is truly mesmerizing！
I think the new black and white seamaster looks amazing! I also can live with the 42mm diameter but they should have reduced the thickness to 12,8mm or something. Especially now without a date function, there is no excuse for that hefty thickness
The Seamaster needs a complete overhaul and this is a good start (the grey model, thinking about the Pewter Autavia there). Maybe you can call a 90s design neo vintage, but a mesh bracelet really goes back further than that.
These look great! 2 changes I wish they'd make on the Seamaster: 1: Fix the bezel action... it's slippery and hard to grip. 2: Get RID of that Helium Escapement valve on the side of the case. It's like a beautiful model w/ a HUGE wart on the side of her nose. Is there a need for this on a 300m diver anyway? Just my opinion ;)
No time to die is the best one, on strap. I also have the green which is nice. Holding it back from being the perfect watch and reason I really prefer my Pelegos FXD on the green strap is the bezel is just so hard to turn and slippery - its not really that useable in my opinion.
Yes, I have bought from MAMACOO more than once. I even bought a new Omega Speedmaster which came with the fancy box and packaging. I am thrilled with all my purchases here. I would purchase from MAMACOO again for sure.
So Take Home……. Omega have made a new cheaper SMP without the expensive ceramic bits and date function and now are charging more! Genius if not a little underhand. 😂
@@JARRODLEE-f8wGeez you guys drag Rolex into EVERYTHING the brand really lives rent free in your heads. Wtf does Rolex have to do with anything. Just once I like to see someone defend Omega without dragging Rolex into the argument. Actually this should be a new challenge since it's virtually Impossible
Omega listening to their customers! The AR only on one side, domed sapphire, plus the aluminium bezel and dial are going to age so gracefully. This is the Seamaster you'd want to pass down.
The domed sapphire will not age gracefully, it’s a vintage gimmick that makes the thick watch look even more bloated. Horrible horrible design choice. No one else does that!
Great there’s no date. But….. it’s too thick, that blooming escape valve just needs to go and a 40mm version in blue would be epic. They are slowly moving in the right direction for me. (I have a quarts black SMP so don’t hate the watch - would just like it to be different now)
The best Seamaster is the 2254.50 aka the Peter Blake..I thankfully purchased one 18 years ago and it will never leave my collection. The black one comes close with the dial and bezel, but not a fan of mesh bracelets. The watch is also much, much thicker now as well ...
I love the non date! finally. I cant do the see thru case back- tool watches IMHO should have a solid case back and omega used to make amazing solid case backs....
As a watch enthusiast with NO budget, thank you MAMACOO for great-looking mechanical watches that I can afford! their are very clean, classy look, $150 each. I still watch videos about expensive “proper” watches, but I enjoy what I have
They should finally bring the design of Planet Ocean Deep Dive to the seamaster diver. No helium valve and the new steel alloy (O-megasteel ) are perfect for that line up. Other than that, I really like them both .
@@TIWofficialThere been plenty of Seamasters without the helium escape valve. That wasn't a feature until the early 90s. The Omega Seamaster 165 024 was gorgeous and no HE valve
Really nice watch, especially the black with wave dial. I feel the aluminium bezel will scratch given its quite expansive, but it looks better then the bling gloss ceramic...answer Omega should consider producing a mat ceramic bezel a bit like what Tudor do on the Pelagos.
My favorite 2024 is the Prospex Limited Edition 1965 Recreation European Exclusive in Gradation Island Blue. The dial is stunning and the contrast when on a white strap is to die for. I will get my hands on one from MAMACOO
I love & own both Rolex & Omega-- both are excellent brands. I couldn't help but notice that the gray on gray Seamaster, on the left of the screen at 0:02, looks like a clone of the Rolex Yacht-Master 40, reference 126622, with the rhodium dial and the platinum bezel. I do love the steel mesh bracelet that comes on the Omega.
Love the Seamaster, great video man. I almost bought the summer blue but decided on the original blue dial white marker variant instead. The SM300 is one of my favorite watches that I own.
They both look really nice. I really dig the gray one. Look forward to seeing them in person at my AD. My favorite Seamaster is still the white face with black bezel.
@@maitrehgFor real men? LOL how are you guys not embarrassed to talk like that. Like a big fkn watch makes you more manly 🤣just stop with the insecure bullshit already.
I agree. This is the closest thingI’ve seen to timeless perfection from omega, apart from the moonwatch. I think it would look stellar on an orange nato or rubber strap (yellow, too). I also think it’s an excellent vacation watch (Who cares about two time zones when you’re on vacation?) bc of the strap versatility. I will get one on the mesh and a bunch of straps to go with it.
Another super video Adrian - thank you! As much as I have always loved the Seamaster series, I will pass on this variant. They lost me with the Aluminum bezel and dial. While the dial might be ok for a long while, we all know what the aluminum bezel inset will look like after a few years. Aluminum is a downgrade - no doubt about it, and I hope this wasn’t done to cut costs. Also, they have to do something about the thickness of the piece, in this regard and this regard only, they are almost like Invicta watches that became so popular in the 2000’s. I know the Coaxial movements are the culprit here but the thickness has to addressed.
I don't think they introduced the aluminum bezel to cut costs, also because they increased the price on these models. Plus you can find ceramic bezels on a 1500€ Longines hydro conquest. I think it's a design choice I personally don't agree with, they could have used other materials and achieve the same result
Wearing my Great White GMT on a Staib Milanese Mesh bracelet, I am getting much of the same vibe with aluminium bezel insert but with the bonus of no helium escape valve.
The only complaint I have with an Omega Watch with no date is why don’t they have the 8900 movement in it with the jump hour? Then it would be perfect . They already have it in the vintage looking Seamaster 300s.
I love the black, it is hard to justify why this is more expensive. I black matte ceramit dial like the Pelagos has would have been the way to go but i'm certainly thinking this is the best looking Seamaster for decades.
The ultimate Seamaster could be a modern release of the 2254.50. Until then my white dial ceramic is my favourite. These aluminum bezels releases, priced as they are, make me shake my head.
Another great video. Thanks Adrian. I love this new model but would like to see a new clasp that is not as thick. Do this, trim the case down to 40mm and then you have a serious rival for the Submariner
Hi Adrian and hi everyone! I'm super happy with the release of this "full silver" version with the engraved titanium bezel 🔥 I was planning to make one in this spirit by mixing a white dial with the Nekton bezel !! In short, I love this piece, it reminds me of the 007 Platinum Aston Martin 5 pieces limited to the world In terms of comfort, I would rather wear it on the "normal" steel bracelet because the mesh is very beautiful but a little uncomfortable and above all I don't like the gap between the lugs which also makes the bezel seem too big ( on small wrist ) Have you the same feeling ??? In short, while waiting for the return of a 2254 bracelet with on-the-fly adjustment which would make this piece ideal, it's a future purchase ! This pieces could be even more cool in a full Titanium version !!
The grey one will wear BIG and the Nekton version released years ago does the metallic bezel look a lot better in my opinion (also seen heavily discounted)
I’ve been critical of size on instagram. But I just tried it on. It’s lovely. It wears the same, but IMO it appears smaller visually due to the crystal/dial.
Adrian, I love seamasters (I own two) but effectively this is a down grade for more money. It’s aluminium bezel, the same thickness with no date! I would like to know the thickness of the case without the crystal though. The mesh bracelet is lovely quality but the holes are so far apart that it doesn’t fit well. I’m sticking with my black current model and my Neo vintage electric blue.
I've tried on many of the current 300m including the NTTD. The case without the see thru back and domed sapphire are the same size with the submariner. Honestly with the mesh strap or rubber strap aside from the sapphire it fits the same as a sub to me.
@ yeah I have also tried on most of the current Seamasters including the NTTD and own two of them. Mine are worn either on straps or on a mesh. I’ve also tried on a sub. I don’t think it wears the same as the sub at all I’m afraid.
@@laurablockley1269 when I say wears the same I mean the height only. Not the feel or weight. The domed glass creates the illusion of it being taller but the thickness is the same to me. I've seen measurements of the midcase only and it's roughly the same.
I consider myself a bit of an Omega fanboy, but non-ceramic bezels are a no-go for me. The titanium grey on grey on grey looks like a Yachtmaster knockoff that falls very short. I like the black version a lot were it not for the bezel and the elimination of the date function. Still though, it's a very good locking watch.
Not sure why you wouldn't have mentioned the Bond 60th model to compare this to, it's nearly identical, just in black instead of blue. Steel, small wave dial, same bracelet, aluminum bezel. Just has the minor bond details removed.
Bond 60th my favourite. The navy blue colour, the number 60, the lollipop seconds hand. The new black dial my second. Could they’ve changed it more? Yes, but I think they should just do it slowly like the iPhone.
My complaint with all Seamasters is the bezel graphics. For my taste it is too blocky and busy. I find it distracting from the rest of the watch. I'd like to see it tightened up.
Nope. Early 2000s Bond / Peter Blake... bring those back, with the same dimensions... not a fan of modern sizes and prices.... for less than half price you can get something elegant, thin and handsome. You need to be silly, rich or both, to spend 6k or more on modern divers... i just don't get it... the only time id consider it would be if it genuinely was a "watch for life"... even then it's hard to imagine
Aluminum bezel is a step backwards and means I’m not a buyer. The NTTD is a cool watch, but again I didn’t buy it because of the Al bezel and the unjustified price increase. I want to love Omega, but they keep missing the marks I’d like to see to become e a fan.
@@laurablockley1269Some like the way aluminum bezels age. Not everyone is trying to keep their watches brand new for it's whole lifetime. Ceramic is sterile with no character development whatsoever
Nothing beats the sword hand era of seamasters in my opinion, but these are nice additions. As everyone has already said, i wish they were smaller and slimmer
Really into the black version. I think they've fixed almost every issue I have with the regular Diver 300; I nearly bought a ceramic Diver 300 but the shininess of the bezel and face of the watch, combined with how deeply recessed the date window had to be, made me hesitate. Omega has taken the best features of the 60th anniversary Bond Seamaster but replaced the lollipop hand and novelty caseback. The only criticism I have is that they don't offer this on the standard Seamaster bracelet, which I happen to love. Anyway, the black one on the rubber strap might even be my next watch purchase. I'll need to try it on first, but I feel this inhabiting the same place in my mind aesthetically as a Rolex Sub, whereas the ceramic Diver 300's couldn't quite get there.
give me a call when it's 39.5mm, 47mm lug-to-lug, 12mm thick
Should be at a minimum. Such a lazy iteration by Omega.
And 9 million dollars
"39.5mm"
Jesus. 🙄
too small!! just buy a tudor for kid watches :P
then just get a tudor...
THIS was the opportunity for Omega to introduce the 39 or 40mm Seamaster case! They didnt!! Thats a huge fail imo.
These are an end of model life cycle transitionary model. It makes no sense to run Seamasters in two seperate case sizes this close to the end of life cycle. The new Seamasters are coming next year.

nobody wants 39mm, watches are only getting bigger not smaller. Even the sub is 41mm now.
As soon as they release a 39mm version no one's ever buying the 42mm ever again. Guess they've got to get through some stock first!
totally agreed!!!!!!

Did you genuinely find out Omega manufacturing costs to write cheaper this, cheaper that ?!
Just woke up to feed my 6 week old son and you dropped a new video. Nice way to spend an early Friday.
How can it be the same price as a seamaster with a date & ceramic bezel?
And why not make them smaller

I agree. This is the closest thingI’ve seen to timeless perfection from omega, apart from the moonwatch. I think it would look stellar on an orange nato or rubber strap (yellow, too). I also think it’s an excellent vacation watch (Who cares about two time zones when you’re on vacation?) bc of the strap versatility. I will get one on the mesh and a bunch of straps to go with it.
Another super video Adrian - thank you!
As much as I have always loved the Seamaster series, I will pass on this variant. They lost me with the Aluminum bezel and dial. While the dial might be ok for a long while, we all know what the aluminum bezel inset will look like after a few years. Aluminum is a downgrade - no doubt about it, and I hope this wasn’t done to cut costs.
Also, they have to do something about the thickness of the piece, in this regard and this regard only, they are almost like Invicta watches that became so popular in the 2000’s. I know the Coaxial movements are the culprit here but the thickness has to addressed.
I don't think they introduced the aluminum bezel to cut costs, also because they increased the price on these models. Plus you can find ceramic bezels on a 1500€ Longines hydro conquest. I think it's a design choice I personally don't agree with, they could have used other materials and achieve the same result
Wearing my Great White GMT on a Staib Milanese Mesh bracelet, I am getting much of the same vibe with aluminium bezel insert but with the bonus of no helium escape valve.
The only complaint I have with an Omega Watch with no date is why don’t they have the 8900 movement in it with the jump hour? Then it would be perfect . They already have it in the vintage looking Seamaster 300s.
I love the black, it is hard to justify why this is more expensive. I black matte ceramit dial like the Pelagos has would have been the way to go but i'm certainly thinking this is the best looking Seamaster for decades.
on the unside... jokes aside love the video and am excited about this version of the seamaster
The ultimate Seamaster could be a modern release of the 2254.50. Until then my white dial ceramic is my favourite. These aluminum bezels releases, priced as they are, make me shake my head.
Omega:
"Let's charge more for less lol"
Adrian:
"Is this the best Seamaster EVAAARRRR?"
I have the electric blue ,its still a killer watch .I wont change, but new one looks great.
Prefere the 3rd gen Seamaster 300 m 212.30.41.20.03.001, love the NO waves dial.
It’s probably my favourite, closely followed by the 2254.50.
Another great video. Thanks Adrian. I love this new model but would like to see a new clasp that is not as thick. Do this, trim the case down to 40mm and then you have a serious rival for the Submariner
The nerds are asking for smaller, the buying public wants bigger. Follow the money Omega, the money is always right.
The black on black no date has already been done, better, with the ceramic case.
Favorite Seamaster is the one I am wearing now…the Nekton. The original no-date, the original titanium bezel, with a matte finished dial.
Maybe to plain .. but i like the offer. Always loved the old wave pattern😊
Hi Adrian and hi everyone!
I'm super happy with the release of this "full silver" version with the engraved titanium bezel 🔥
I was planning to make one in this spirit by mixing a white dial with the Nekton bezel !!
In short, I love this piece, it reminds me of the 007 Platinum Aston Martin 5 pieces limited to the world
In terms of comfort, I would rather wear it on the "normal" steel bracelet because the mesh is very beautiful but a little uncomfortable and above all I don't like the gap between the lugs which also makes the bezel seem too big ( on small wrist )
Have you the same feeling ???
In short, while waiting for the return of a 2254 bracelet with on-the-fly adjustment which would make this piece ideal, it's a future purchase !
This pieces could be even more cool in a full Titanium version !!
Love aluminum bezels for tool watches. Ceramic bezels are jewelry. Well done Omega
White dial for me is the best by far. 👌
The grey one will wear BIG and the Nekton version released years ago does the metallic bezel look a lot better in my opinion (also seen heavily discounted)
I’ve been critical of size on instagram. But I just tried it on. It’s lovely. It wears the same, but IMO it appears smaller visually due to the crystal/dial.
Nice overview you missed Rado Watch. Best regards Norbert
I feel this is Omega’s answer to the monochrome Tudor BB, but much better.
Adrian, I love seamasters (I own two) but effectively this is a down grade for more money. It’s aluminium bezel, the same thickness with no date! I would like to know the thickness of the case without the crystal though.
The mesh bracelet is lovely quality but the holes are so far apart that it doesn’t fit well.
I’m sticking with my black current model and my Neo vintage electric blue.
I've tried on many of the current 300m including the NTTD. The case without the see thru back and domed sapphire are the same size with the submariner. Honestly with the mesh strap or rubber strap aside from the sapphire it fits the same as a sub to me.
@ yeah I have also tried on most of the current Seamasters including the NTTD and own two of them. Mine are worn either on straps or on a mesh. I’ve also tried on a sub. I don’t think it wears the same as the sub at all I’m afraid.
@@laurablockley1269 when I say wears the same I mean the height only. Not the feel or weight. The domed glass creates the illusion of it being taller but the thickness is the same to me. I've seen measurements of the midcase only and it's roughly the same.
@@miabeatz80 do you know the height measurement is of the case only without the domed sapphire crystal?
@laurablockley1269 roughly 12.5
Have a 90’s 300m blue bezel on a blue rubber strap bought from goldsmiths
fully refurbished mint like new for 3k
Pound for pound can’t beat it 😊😊
Gotta check it out at my AD. Thanks, Adrian. Are you gonna buy one?
I consider myself a bit of an Omega fanboy, but non-ceramic bezels are a no-go for me. The titanium grey on grey on grey looks like a Yachtmaster knockoff that falls very short.
I like the black version a lot were it not for the bezel and the elimination of the date function. Still though, it's a very good locking watch.
Yes, at least the yachtmaster's bezel is platinum
The term fan boy is horrendous.
Not sure why you wouldn't have mentioned the Bond 60th model to compare this to, it's nearly identical, just in black instead of blue. Steel, small wave dial, same bracelet, aluminum bezel. Just has the minor bond details removed.
I need to know where you get your shirts from Arian, They are super smart! Great video as always!
Bond 60th my favourite. The navy blue colour, the number 60, the lollipop seconds hand. The new black dial my second. Could they’ve changed it more? Yes, but I think they should just do it slowly like the iPhone.
I do love a nicely domed crystal.
My complaint with all Seamasters is the bezel graphics. For my taste it is too blocky and busy. I find it distracting from the rest of the watch. I'd like to see it tightened up.
Nope. Early 2000s Bond / Peter Blake... bring those back, with the same dimensions... not a fan of modern sizes and prices.... for less than half price you can get something elegant, thin and handsome. You need to be silly, rich or both, to spend 6k or more on modern divers... i just don't get it... the only time id consider it would be if it genuinely was a "watch for life"... even then it's hard to imagine
Yeah and no skeleton hands
my 2006 casino royale Seamaster is coming back in fashion
Because Omega didn’t have a big enough catalog yet! 😂
How is replacing a ceramic dial with an aluminium dial better?
It is now almost the same as my Oris Diver 65
Aluminum bezel is a step backwards and means I’m not a buyer. The NTTD is a cool watch, but again I didn’t buy it because of the Al bezel and the unjustified price increase.
I want to love Omega, but they keep missing the marks I’d like to see to become e a fan.
Just buy the other current model, it’s better and cheaper 😆
Nah aluminum bezel on dive watches are the way to go.
@@SeniorChaChaCha have to disagree there…not as practical and not as good looking.
@@laurablockley1269Some like the way aluminum bezels age. Not everyone is trying to keep their watches brand new for it's whole lifetime. Ceramic is sterile with no character development whatsoever
@ I know some people like the way they age. I’m just not one of them. I think I just disagree with a price increase on a watch with aluminium bezel.
Nothing beats the sword hand era of seamasters in my opinion, but these are nice additions. As everyone has already said, i wish they were smaller and slimmer
Unrelated but like that overshirt you are wearing in this video. Where is it from? Thanks!
Really into the black version. I think they've fixed almost every issue I have with the regular Diver 300; I nearly bought a ceramic Diver 300 but the shininess of the bezel and face of the watch, combined with how deeply recessed the date window had to be, made me hesitate. Omega has taken the best features of the 60th anniversary Bond Seamaster but replaced the lollipop hand and novelty caseback. The only criticism I have is that they don't offer this on the standard Seamaster bracelet, which I happen to love. Anyway, the black one on the rubber strap might even be my next watch purchase. I'll need to try it on first, but I feel this inhabiting the same place in my mind aesthetically as a Rolex Sub, whereas the ceramic Diver 300's couldn't quite get there.
Nice! AR Coating only on the inside. Maybe I will sell my green seamaster only for this reason
