The Watch
The OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M needs little introduction. With a built-tough, professional-grade case, laser-engraved wave dial, and often finding itself as the modern watch of choice for James Bond, few watches maintain – and deserve – praise as much as the Seamaster Diver 300M.
This model, the ref. 2452.80.00 / 168.1502, is a distinctly turn-of-the-millenium edition of the Seamaster 300M, complete with a two-tone steel and 18k yellow gold construction and dial directly channeling the era. From the waves on the blue dial, to the gold applicies, and twisted lugs – there is so much to love about this watch that has come to embody OMEGA's brand presence in the 1990s, early 2000s, and beyond.
While distinguished in terms of aesthetic to the era from which it was born, the model is nonetheless a classic example of the collection, showcasing plenty of favorites like a curvy 300-meter water-resistant case and unidirectional bezel (here, with a gold insert), polished and brushed finishing throughout, a 10 o'clock helium escape valve, and - of course - a signature wavy laser-engraved dial harkening back to the waves for which the watch was crafted.
