The Seamaster Diver 300M, a cornerstone of OMEGA’s iconic lineup since 1993, has evolved yet again with the unveiling of a new series of watches. This latest collection combines OMEGA’s hallmark precision with vintage-inspired design elements, offering a fresh take on the beloved ocean timepiece.
The first glimpse of the new Seamaster Diver 300M came earlier this summer when Daniel Craig, OMEGA ambassador and legendary James Bond actor, sported a stainless steel model at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The watch's appearance immediately captured the attention of fans and collectors, heightening anticipation for the official release of the collection.
The new Diver 300M series shifts away from the ceramic aesthetic that defined recent years and draws inspiration from the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, famously worn by Craig in No Time to Die. Key features include a 42 mm case with a domed sapphire crystal, which lends the watches a vintage appeal, and distinctive mesh bracelets reminiscent of the Bond edition, offering both style and durability for adventurous wearers.

The Seamaster Diver 300M has a storied history, beginning in 1993 when it marked OMEGA’s triumphant return to dive watches. Building on the brand’s underwater heritage from the 1960s and 70s, the watch became an instant classic with its signature wave-patterned dial, skeletonized hands, and helium escape valve at 10 o’clock. The new collection continues this tradition while infusing it with modern aesthetics and advanced technology.
