In case your head is spinning from the entire integrated-bracelet steel sports activities actions watches, then, first, we actually really feel you, and, second, you could be relieved to hearken to Omega is rushing to your rescue with the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M watch in titanium and bronze gold that gives none of those points. It has no steel in it, and its mesh bracelet is way much less built-in than iMessage on Android.

Following scorching on the heels of late November’s releases of no-date Seamaster watches, this latest Omega Seamaster Diver 300M spices points up after these decidedly color-absent fashions with a novel palette utilized to what’s a group of distinctive provides. Correctly, not distinctive in that you have in no way seen any of these in a watch sooner than, nonetheless considerably that you simply simply will not have ever seen them within the equivalent watch until now.

The crown, helium escape valve, and bezel are crafted from Omega’s distinctive Bronze Gold, developed to retain its pure patina over time, with out turning inexperienced on account of layer oxidation. So, for those who’re a sort of who likes to play Victor Frankenstein on their bronze watches, turning them into variably deformed and discolored objects that probably no dermatologist would ever advocate to placed on in the direction of your pores and pores and skin — you may be out of luck with Bronze Gold.

Aluminum arguably has a traditional aptitude to it that some will acknowledge, and Omega has doubled down on this vibe with utilizing what it calls “traditional Large-LumiNova” inside not merely the blackened indexes however moreover on the diving scale of the bezel ring. The beige colored paint appears to correctly complement the inexperienced of the textured dial and bezel, along with the Bronze Gold of the aforementioned components. Grade 2 titanium (as seen proper right here) is a bit a lot much less muddy in its color than Grade 5, although that moreover varies counting on flooring therapies and decoration.

The model new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M watch in titanium and bronze gold measures 42mm giant, 49.7mm lug-to-lug, and 13.8mm thick. Whereas its proportions are well-judged — nigh-on glorious — the 42mm Seamaster 300M seems to be like, a minimal of to my eyes, a bit bloated nonetheless. Loads of that is offset by it being water resistant to 30 bar (300 meters or 1,000 toes), and it weighs 109 grams (3.85 ounces) on the bracelet. The doorway choices the extraordinarily domed sapphire found on completely different associated references and it sports activities actions anti-reflective treatment inside.

A sapphire crystal caseback reveals Omega Calibre 8806 — really, the Co-Axial Grasp Chronometer Calibre 8806. As that title clearly signifies, it is a extraordinarily specified movement that renders this Seamaster 300M a Grasp Chronometer watch that passes the additional stringent checks carried out by Omega and licensed by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
