Omega Quietly Updates The Seamaster Diver 300M With Blue and Brown Ceramic Cases

Most Omega fans want a proper redesign of the Seamaster Diver 300M, like the one the Planet Ocean recently got. But instead, Omega gives us something that not many people have asked for. But at least it's neat. Very quietly and without a real announcement, Omega released two new versions of the Seamaster Diver 300M, with ceramic cases in two very nice colors – blue and brown.

Both cases are ceramic, 43.5mm wide and 14.27mm thick, with a lug-to-lug of 51.5mm and 21mm between the lugs. You get 300 meters of water resistance, a screw-down crown and a domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. On the blue model, the bezel, crowns and caseback are Grade 5 titanium. The brown model uses Sedna Gold, Omega’s 18K rose gold alloy, for the bezel and crowns, and ceramic for the caseback. The blue watch weighs about 106g and the brown about 122g.

The dials are ceramic too, in the same color as the case, with the current large-wave pattern. On the blue model, the bezel scale is filled with white enamel, the skeletonized hands have a titanium-colored PVD finish with white Super-LumiNova, and every printed marking is white. On the brown model, the bezel scale is Ceragold, the hands are solid Sedna Gold, and the markings combine white and gold.

Inside both is the Omega calibre 8806, an automatic Co-Axial movement with METAS Master Chronometer certification. It resists magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, uses a silicon hairspring and a free-sprung balance, and runs at 3.5Hz with 55 hours of power reserve. You can see it through the sapphire caseback, decorated with Geneva waves, and a rhodium-plated rotor. Each watch comes on a fitted rubber strap in its case color. The blue one has a titanium pin buckle and the brown one has a brown ceramic buckle.

The new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M models are part of the regular collection and the one in blue ceramic and titanium (ref. 210.92.44.20.03.001) is priced at €9,700, while the brown ceramic and Sedna Gold version (ref. 210.62.44.20.13.001) is priced at €15,000. See more on the Omega website.
