Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Black Dial on Bracelet Pre-Loved

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 210.30.42.20.01.001 is steel on steel timepiece from Omega. The bezel and black ceramic of the watch represent the original look of the first Omega Seamaster Diver. Even 25 years later the timepiece still stands out among its competitors because of its distinctive design. There is high competition in the high-end dive watch space, as many users seek utility, style, prestige, and status in a watch.

The watch has an 8800 automatic movement which is an in-house made caliber. A look at the Co-Axial escapement, you will notice that the caliber is immune to external effects caused by environmental magnetism. It also has a balance spring made of reliable silicon material. The watch also has an Omega’s Certification.  The automatic movement of the watch operates at 4Hz and has a power reserve of 55 hours. In addition to that, there is a time and date window complication. The final result is a mechanical movement that is very resilient, reliable and accurate. The exact thing looked for by many people in a divers' watch.

 The wide case is 42mm wide of the watch has a water resistance level of 300 meters. The thickness of the case is 12mm, with a lug to lug distance of 50mm. The subtle updates of the case that stands out would be the tapered helium release valve crown, found at the 10 o’clock sign on the case. 

Omega has retained the old school technology of the helium release valves. This feature is rarely used unless you are a commercial diver. The feature can be manual or automated, however, Omega has retained this vestigial element in what can be described as a modern-use high-end sporting timepiece. Omega maintains visual distinction by holding on to the helium release valve feature in the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 210.30.42.20.01.001. The feature visually distinguishes this timepiece from the other diver timepieces in the market.

The case of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 210.30.42.20.01.001 has an all-round beauty, which plays an important role in making the watch a stylish high-end diver watch. The watch despite having a small element of luxury, the design of the watch is more about utility and function than about the style. The case has a bezel rotation tactility which lacked in the previous model. The bezel has a ceramic insert, available in black and several other colors (depending on the model). The watch has a 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer case, which contains a case back made of sapphire crystal exhibition. This is also another new feature in this model of Omega.

This new model still retains the sensibilities which were present in the first model of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m. This means the watch can be described as an upgraded vintage watch, suitable for the modern professional divers. The watch can be described as a retro watch but in a freshly made new skin.

The dials are another feature of the watch that one can’t miss. The hands and hour markers are very large and visible and are relatively high off the watch’s dial. They are also polished, very useful in making them visible by contrasting with the black ceramic dial. Because the dial can pick up light and reflect it, it becomes more legible.

The dial is black ceramic, with horizontal wave patterns. This new model of Omega has brought up the wave patterns feature demonstrating a neat laser etching found on the dials.
