Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer black dial mesh steel bracelet 42 mm

A legend since 1993

1993 is undoubtedly one of Omega's most important dates: the launch of the very first Seamaster Diver 300M on the market! The launch marked Omega's triumphant return to diving watches, and proved that the brand's ingenuity was more alive than ever. Positioned at the time as a refined and luxurious diver's watch, it broke with the design language of the Seamaster 300 and 600 of previous decades, showing a revolution of sorts. Indeed, the changes and developments of the 1990s inspired new designs and propelled the brand into the spotlight. The chronograph version was even named Watch of the Year in 1994! The launch of the Seamaster Diver 300M also coincided with the brand's new marketing strategy in the 1990s, aimed at breaking records and becoming a true icon, bringing Omega into the modern era with a vision full of fervor. As soon as it was launched, it accompanied Frenchman Roland Specker to a depth of 80 meters, setting the world record for freshwater free diving. In 1995, it marked a close relationship with the world of sailing when Sir Peter Blake, along with several sailors from the New Zealand team, wore the diver during their unforgettable victory in the America's Cup. But it was the film GoldenEye that really propelled this watch to iconic status! For the first time, James Bond wears a Diver 300M on his wrist!

Vintage and 007 inspiration!

For 2024, the collection continues its intrepid heritage through a new series of models, offering a variety of choices in different styles.

First seen earlier this summer on the wrist of actor and OMEGA ambassador Daniel Craig, who wore a black stainless steel version to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. This first appearance generated a wave of interest and curiosity from watch enthusiasts around the world, who are eagerly awaiting the official release of the collection.

This new Diver 300M series moves away from the familiar ceramic styling of recent years and is inspired instead by the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, worn in the James Bond film, Not Time to Die.

This reference 210.30.42.20.01.010 features a 42 mm-diameter stainless steel case topped by a black oxalic anodized aluminum bezel with a white Super-LumiNova diving scale. There's also an “ultra” domed sapphire crystal, giving this watch a vintage aesthetic.

Black aluminum is also present on the dial, decorated with the Seamaster Diver's emblematic laser-engraved wave motif. This “small waves” motif is inspired by the legendary reference 2541.80.00, worn by James Bond in 1995's GoldenEye. The dial is flanked by rhodium-plated skeleton hour and minute hands and a “lollipop” seconds hand in white lacquer. What we love about this version is that it doesn't feature a date, for perfect symmetry!

This watch is adorned with a satin-finish stainless steel bracelet, reminiscent of the elegant Milanese strap on Bond's titanium watch in Mourir Peut Attendre or the “60 years James Bond” version. This satin-finish steel Milanese bracelet features a folding clasp.

An Omega caliber 8806

This Diver 300M is powered by an Omega 8800 manufacture self-winding movement, visible through its sapphire caseback.

In fact, the movement and watch have been tested in accordance with the METAS-approved Master Chronometer certification procedure, guaranteeing the watch's accuracy between 0 and +5 seconds per day. The caliber is resistant to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss, so you don't have to worry about the electronic equipment that surrounds us every day. The racketless balance wheel with silicon balance spring beats at a frequency of 25,200 vibrations, a standard frequency providing 55 hours of power reserve.
