For the first time in history, Omega adds high-visibility orange accents to its iconic Omega Seamaster Diver 300M. The fresh design is not only an aesthetic choice, but also enhances legibility underwater. The model retains the popular 42 mm case, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber 8806 and two attractive strap options: a stylish steel mesh or a summery orange rubber strap.
You may have thought that Omega Seamaster Diver 300M synonymous with seriousness and restraint. Well, Omega apparently disagrees. This year, they decided to spice up their most recognizable diving watch with energetic orange details, which are no coincidence. The orange color provides excellent contrast in the depths of the ocean, where visibility often becomes a real challenge.
Why orange and why at this moment?
Although Omega has been using orange for twenty years on its Planet Ocean models, the Diver 300M has remained more conservative until now. But times are changing. This year’s model brings orange in key places: on the iconic lollipop seconds hand, the hour markers at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock, and on the “Seamaster” inscription. This does not lose its elegance, but gains in functionality and visibility.
Modern aesthetics for a classic model
- Housing: 42 mm stainless steel, distinctive helium escape valve at 10 o'clock and matte black aluminum bezel for divers.
- Digit: Black, sandblasted background without the traditional wavy pattern, which further emphasizes contrast and allows for readability at a glance.
- Indicators and indices: Rhodium-plated skeleton hands with blue-green luminescence combined with highly visible orange accents.
The interior remains technologically superior
At the heart of the Diver 300M ticks the proven caliber 8806. Certified as a Co-Axial Master Chronometer according to the METAS standard, it provides a 55-hour power reserve and exceptional magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss. A look through the transparent sapphire caseback reveals the meticulously crafted Côtes de Genève arabesques on the movement’s bridges – a detail that true watch enthusiasts will appreciate.
Choose between elegance and bold summer
There are two strap options to suit different style preferences:
- Steel mesh belt: A classic, industrial look that subtly complements the orange accents.
- Orange rubber band: An ideal choice for anyone who wants the perfect summer atmosphere and color coordination with the details on the dial.
