Omega's popular seahorse diving 300 meters guide

OMEGA's Seamaster series had been launched as early as 1948, and the development of the 1990s was the critical stage when mechanical watches were beginning to revive. The brand therefore planned to create a new Seamaster diving watch, so in 1993 Seamaster Professional 300M (that is, Today, the well-known seahorse diving 300 meters) was born. This watch has a large diameter of 41mm. The automatic helium exhaust valve set in response to the watch’s professional diving specifications, etc., makes Omega’s diving watch also able to distinguish itself from famous diving watches on the market such as the Rolex Water Ghost.

Although the hippocampus diving 300 meters successfully attracted the attention of the market when it first came out, the starting point of this watch’s real fame was the James Bond 007 intelligence agent series that was 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 film "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 interpret the style of a legendary intelligence officer. Back then, Omega provided Seamaster Professional Quartz. Later, in "Tomorrow's Empire" and other follow-up works, Pierce Brosnan changed to wearing a Seamaster Professional Chronometer. Given the high popularity of the 007 movie, the Omega Seamaster Dive 300 meters has become a pocket list worth pursuing in the hearts of watch fans.

▲The 007 movie "Golden Eye" starring Pierce Brosnan is the first song to open the partnership between Omega and Eon Productions.

After Pierce Brosnan, the next Pond Daniel Craig (Daniel Craig) also continued the partnership between Omega and Eon Productions, wearing a variety of Seamaster series works including diving 300 meters with Seamaster several times, making nearly Over the past 30 years, as long as the movie character of James Bond is mentioned, most people will also think of Omega watches.

In addition to Pound's 300-meter seahorse diving enthusiast, global celebrities such as Prince William of the United Kingdom, Hollywood celebrities George Clooney, Jorham, and Olympic swimming gold medal "Flying Fish" Michael Phelps are also famous fans of this watch. Seahorse diving 300 meters developed to 2018 and launched a facelift to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its launch. As a result, this change was completely in line with the market taste and pushed the already popular market position to a new level. Now the seahorse diving 300 meters has the momentum of Omega’s ace work, and the market popularity is not inferior to the more experienced Speedmaster moon watch or the seahorse Planet Ocean with stronger waterproof performance. And if you also start to feel this watch. Interest is strong, here are five entry points for reference, I hope it will help you decide which seahorse to buy for diving 300 meters.

1. Pursue 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. The designs are all flat and stable, which is an excellent stepping stone to experience this series of watches.

2. Pursue advanced functions

In addition to the three-needle model, the Seamaster Dive 300m also has a timekeeping function, which is a more complex work. However, the Seamaster Dive 300m, which was born after 2019, has upgraded internal and external specifications, so the price is relatively not cheap, at least NT$ 245,000 Above, if the budget is tight, you can consider the model 212.30.42.50.01.001 launched earlier. Although this 3330 movement does not have the certification level of the Master Observatory, it also has ceramic rings, helium exhaust valves, and even black lacquer dials. Add some red elements for embellishment, and the price is "only" NT$180,000, which is much cheaper than the price of the Seamaster Diving 300-meter diving watch that came out later.

3. Pursue unique styles

There was a relatively low-key version when the hippocampus diving 300 meters was just changed a few years ago, but because it uses a titanium case, chain strap-Sedna™ gold bezel finish, crown, helium exhaust valve-tantalum bezel The 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. Pursuit of high-tech materials

Almost all seahorse diving 300 meters are equipped with ceramic bezels, but there are two full ceramic shell styles in the series 210.92.44.20.01.001 (titanium metal bezel, white scale) and 210.92.44.20.01.003 (frosted bezel, black scale) , their price is about 100,000 higher than the general stainless steel hippocampus diving 300-meter three-pin, but in terms of appearance impression and wearing experience, the all-ceramic material is different from the stainless steel material of the main series, at least not. No annoying little scratches to worry about.

5. Pursue topics and attract attention

Seamaster Diver 300M also has a special joint model, among which the joint work with 007 is exactly the style that people who choose watches will be very interested in. Seamaster Diver 300M Co-axial Master Chronometer 42mm Titanium, it is a bit different from the general joint model. Different, because Daniel Craig is wearing this watch 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 alloy, and the dial has a Tropical style. It is said that Daniel Craig also provided advice during the watch creation stage, plus the Milan chain strap, which can be called an authentic 007 watch.

The above starting suggestions for different watch selection needs and directions allow people to find the 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 diverse. Even the same model will have slight differences in the color of different dials. An expert choice that you will regret.
