Omega Seamaster 42mm Review

When you think of James Bond, you can’t help but think of elegance, adventure, and excitement. The makers of the James Bond films know that he has a reputation and sense of style to uphold, so if they choose a watch for him to wear, you know it’s a piece that speaks of a bold spirit and a timeless sense of cool.

The Omega Seamaster watch has been James Bond’s go-to choice of timepiece since 1995. And the Seamaster Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer Automatic 42mm brings the range bang up to date with a watch that’s as stylish as it is powerful.

Omega Watch with Unforgettable Style 

The Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer Automatic 42mm is all about performance. It’s powered by the industry-leading Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 self-winding movement, so you know you can rely on it for accurate timekeeping down to a depth of 1000 ft (300 m.)

But the watch doesn’t stop at quality performance. It also offers a timeless look that’s classy enough for any situation, and bold enough to make you stand out. 

The 42mm stainless steel case and black rubber strap with pin buckle give the Seamaster Diver 300m a classic yet sporty look that tells the world this is a watch for the active, adventurous man, whether your adventures are in sports, business or leisure. The unique and instantly recognisable wave engraved dial speaks to this model’s maritime heritage. Meanwhile, the skeleton hands and raised rhodium-plated hour markings feature glow in the dark Super-LumiNova. This bold design means you can tell the time anywhere and in any light levels, and look fantastic while doing it. 

Turn the watch over and you’ll see the intricate workings of the Omega Master Chronometer Calibre 8800 Movement, thanks to the transparent caseback that lets this watch showcase its quality.

A Watch with all the Power you need for any Adventure

If you’re the lucky winner or owner of this watch, you don’t just get unbeatable style. You’ll be wearing a watch that puts quality first and foremost.

As well as the high calibre movement and sturdy stainless steel case, the Seamaster Diver 300m features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective qualities.

The face of the watch has a date window at the six hour position, and the surrounding bevel features a diving scale. And with the watch having a 55 hour power reserve, you can rely on it no matter what. 

One slight problem that faces diving watch manufacturers, is the risk of damage to watches during decompression. Because helium molecules are smaller than water molecules, even a waterproof watch can suffer damage when a diver decompresses. To counteract this, Omega Seamaster watches feature a helium release valve that opens automatically to make sure the watch is not damaged. When James Bond wears an Omega Seamaster, the helium valve often doubles as a gadget. Unfortunately the standard Seamaster Diver 300m doesn’t feature Bond gadgets, but we think you’ll agree that it’s still a standout watch that’s well worth the investment or the time taken to enter the competition to win it.  

Summary

With its high performance functions, sturdy craftsmanship, and unforgettable looks, the Seamaster Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer Automatic 42mm is a classic watch for the ages. Whether you’re on Her Majesty’s Secret Service, diving crystal clear waters, or looking for a smart and classy timepiece for work and play, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m Co-Axial Master Chronometer Automatic 42mm has a lot to offer. Win this watch and you’ll have a useful, stylish accessory you can enjoy for years to come.
