Omega's popular seahorse diving 300 meters guide

Omega's Seamaster series was launched as early as 1948, and the development in the 1990s was a critical stage for the revival of mechanical watches. Therefore, the brand plans to create a brand-new seahorse diving watch, so in 1993, the seahorse professional 300M (also known as the seahorse diving 300m today) was born. This watch has a large diameter of 41 mm. The automatic helium exhaust valve, etc. set up in accordance with the professional diving specifications of the watch, distinguishes Omega's diving watches from famous diving watches on the market such as the Rolex Water Ghost.

Although the seahorse diving 300 meters has successfully attracted the attention of the market as soon as it came out, the starting point of this watch's real popularity is the James Bond 007 agent series that is popular all over the world. It is said that in 1995, the fifth Ponder Pierce Brosnan (Pierce Brosnan) took over for the first time. Before the filming of the movie "Golden Eye" released that year, Eon Productions, the British production company responsible for the production, reached an agreement with Omega. Agree that Pierce Brosnan wears an Omega watch in the play to perform the demeanor of a legendary intelligence officer. At that time, Omega offered the Seamaster series of professional quartz watches. Later, in follow-up works such as "Tomorrow's Empire", Pierce Brosnan changed to wearing a hippocampus professional observatory watch. In view of the high popularity of the 007 movie, the Omega Seamaster Dive 300 meters has become a pocket watch worthy of pursuit in the hearts of watch fans.

1. Pursue the undefeated all-match type

For this type, it is recommended to choose the Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 42mm blue face (210.30.42.20.03.001), which debuted in the first wave of the 2018 facelift. All designed with a flat and heavy design, it is an excellent stepping stone to experience this series of watches.

2. Pursue advanced functions

Seamaster Dive 300m, in addition to the three-needle model, also has a timing function, which is a relatively complicated work. However, the internal and external specifications of the Seamaster Dive 300m born after 2019 have been upgraded, so the price is relatively not cheap, at least NT$245,000. If the budget is tight, you can consider the model 212.30.42.50. 01.001 was introduced earlier. Although this 3330 movement does not have the Master Observatory certification level, it also has a ceramic ring, a helium exhaust valve, and even a black lacquered dial. Some red elements are added for embellishment, and the price is "only" NT$180,000, which is much cheaper than the price of the 300-meter diving watch of the Seamaster series that came out later.

3. Pursue a unique style

When the seahorse dived 300 meters, there was a relatively low-key version when it was just changed a few years ago, but because of the titanium case, the chain strap-Sedna™ gold bezel finish, the crown, the helium exhaust valve-tantalum bezel Unique combination of materials, so the asking price is as high as NT$432,000. Although the asking price is expensive, it is definitely the most special seahorse diving 300 meters.

4. Pursue high-tech materials

Almost all Seamaster diving 300 meters are equipped with ceramic bezels, but this series has two full ceramic case models 210.92.44.20.01.001 (titanium bezel, white scale) and 210.92.44.20.01.003 (brushed bezel, black scale ), their price is about 100,000 higher than the general stainless steel hippocampus diving 300m three needles, but in terms of appearance impression and wearing experience, there is a difference between the all-ceramic material and the stainless steel material of the main series, at least not. No need to worry about annoying little scratches.

5. Pursue topics and attract attention

Seamaster Diver 300M also has a special joint model, and the joint model with 007 is a style that people who choose watches will be very interested in. Seamaster Diver 300M Co-axial Master Chronometer 42mm Titanium, which is a little different from the 007 joint model. Not the same, because that's the watch Daniel Craig wears in "Life and Death." The overall style of the watch is different from the general version. For example, the case is made of titanium, the bezel is made of aluminum, and the dial has a tropical feel. It is said that Daniel Craig also provided suggestions during the watch creation stage, and with the Milan chain strap, it can be called an authentic 007 watch.

The above starting suggestions for different watch selection needs and directions can help people find a watch that suits them more quickly in the Seamaster Diving 300m series. Of course, the seahorse diving 300-meter series launched by the brand is quite diversified. Even if it is the same model, the color of different dials will have slight differences. An expert pick you'll regret.
