From a daily use perspective, the new Omega Seamaster series 300M diving watch is very suitable for the casual set. Besides achieving the perfect balance of brand recognition, luxury feel and technical equipment (official price range from 30 to XXX), the Seamaster 300M is, after all, a professional diving watch; Its waterproofness and magnetic resistance are very strong, it does not cause any effort, and it is absolutely a pleasure to wear it.

Therefore, whether you are a new or old watch enthusiast, as summer approaches, the new Omega Seamaster series 300M diving watch is a very suitable model for both gifting and wearing. The new Seamaster 300M has eliminated all weaknesses; It has no gaps, no shortcomings. Aside from issues of personal taste and preference, I can say that it is the king of watches in the same class and price range.

VS Factory's new Omega Seamaster series 300M diving watch has increased its color options. The previous Seamaster 300M was predominantly black and blue. Now the new model has three dials: black, blue and grey; The blue bezel-grey dial is a new combination and very stylish. Also available in dual color (gold-steel) version. Since black goes with everything and is simple and unpretentious, today I will take the gray dial model as the leading role and show you the workmanship of this VS Seamaster 300M. You can take a look at the official information in the pictures.

The Omega Seamaster 300, released as the first batch in 1993, was actually initially 41 mm in size; In 2019, the size of the watch was increased to 42 mm, meaning it has grown slightly. VS replaced the dial surface with the same ceramic bezel as the original; When you look closely, its texture is very strong and the advantage of ceramic is that it never loses its color.

General appearance: In the old Omega Seamaster 300, the bezel was made of aluminum alloy. VS Factory produced the Omega Seamaster 300M with an exact mold and made a number of improvements to the new model: the impressive ceramic bezel has a high-gloss polish, the depth of engraving of the hour markers on the bezel is very successful, and the font of the markers does not suffer from graying or yellowing since the enamel technique is used.

It's not happening. The bezel is machined irregularly to prevent slippage. Additionally, the highly acclaimed wave pattern from the first Seamaster series 300M diving watch has been retained on the ceramic dial surface.

Dial and Hand Details

Lume is a must for diving watches; It's not just specific to Rolex. After the development, the lume point inside the inverted triangle on the bezel was corrected, it is no longer crooked as before.

Dial section: The focus of this update is the use of a ceramic dial. There is the word ZrO2 in the center of the dial; This means zirconium oxide ceramic. The advantage is that the ceramic dial surface looks very shiny in the light. Water wave decoration was added to the dial (there was no pattern decoration on the old model) and the date window was moved to the 6th direction from the 3rd direction on the old model. These are the main distinguishing features of the new Seamaster 300M. The sword-shaped, engraved hour and minute hands and the striking red center chronograph hand allow the user to clearly see the dial layout, providing a more compact appearance.

Meanwhile, the lume area on the hour and minute hands has increased. When you look carefully, you see that the lume hour markers have also become larger.

Crown section: Screw-on design suitable for ergonomic structure; The brand's "Ω" logo is engraved on the crown made of 316L steel. VS has been very careful in processing the case, the curve lines are extremely smooth, and there is no risk of cutting the hand. On the sides, there is a crown for winding and adjustment at 3 o'clock, and a helium release valve at 10 o'clock. crown

Omega logo engraved on it; This logo is very round and plump, and its dimensions are quite accurate. The right and left shoulders of the winding crown are polished, and brushed workmanship is applied to the outside; Still, it looks pretty flawless. The curve of the ears is also very elegant.

Movement and Caliber Performance

Movement department: VS Omega Seamaster 300M uses its own production 8800 caliber movement. The same black balance wheel and shock absorber as the original are used, every detail is extremely successful: for example, the automatic rotor with ball bearings, 55 hours of power reserve, 15,000 Gauss magnetic resistance and date quick setting feature (VS's previously released 8900 had time zone quick setting, but not date quick setting; the functional aspects of the two movements are different. Do not confuse them).

Whether it will be enjoyable or not depends entirely on the accessories; The degree of fidelity of the strap to the original is extremely high.

After this development, the rubber belt was used; The softness-hardness balance is just right. VS has punched enough holes on the strap, enough for thin wrists. It feels great in the hand, a must have when going for a dip in the summer!

A great collection of Omega Seamaster 300M. It's truly dazzling.

Summary: The aesthetics of the VS Seamaster 300 are through the roof; The color combination makes a big visual impact. This watch has been announced since the beginning of the year and many watch enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for it. The biggest bright spot of the long-awaited new Seamaster 300M is that it has eliminated all the weaknesses; It has no flaws, no shortcomings, it is almost impossible to find a rival among the same class watches. The gray dial with a radial pattern looks extremely assertive; The dial is also laser engraved with a striking wave pattern element, attractive enough to fascinate the viewer. There are also three options: steel bracelet, canvas strap and rubber strap. This time, VS's new wave Seamaster 300M came with a natural rubber strap; After making a personal comparison, I found the rubber strap model more stylish and charismatic.

A value watch is a matter of personal preference; The most important thing is to love yourself. Some give importance to the brand, some to aesthetics, some to the mechanism; Some want modesty, some want glamor. If you see the hardware as important, it is important; if you see it as unimportant, it is unimportant.
