The Omega Seamaster 300m luxury dive watch holds a very special place in my heart as it takes me right back to my early days of discovering Swiss luxury watches.
Forever inextricably linked to the James Bond franchise since 1995's "GoldenEye" movie and with countless variations over the decades, how time has flown since its debut in 1993!
Today I take a look at one of the most exciting 2018 releases (Ref. 210.30.42.20.06.001) for its 25th anniversary and compare it to the previous version from 2017 (Ref. 212.30.41.20.01.003).
What has changed? What has been added or taken away? Will this be the next watch for agent 007? Lastly, I ask perhaps the most important question: with the rise and success of the Tudor Black Bay taking the crown of the best Swiss luxury Diver under $5000, can Omega step up its game and retake the title? Join me to find out!

The updated Seamaster was designed to go toe to toe with the Sub, and it does. In my opinion, they didn't come out with this model to compete with the older/outdated versions. For the money, show me a better bargain.

TGV, even 3 years later you still have *the best* video on KZfaq of the 2018 Seamaster 300m. Your video also really hits home how underappreciated the chrome dial variant of this watch truly is.

People here seem to dislike the new version. I freaking love it. The new movement is a huge step forward. The wave dial is interesting and gives the watch a distinct look. When the previous version came out I was really bummed it was just a plain glossy dial. I even like the display case back. To each his own I guess. Maybe responses would be different if it were the black or blue version.

I am more of a speedmaster pro guy than a seamaster pro but this watch is exquisite.

I am really considering purchasing the exact watch that you reviewed but with the rubber strap. Thank you for your thorough review. Cheers!

Loved that intro TGV! I have to say that despite the new model bringing everything that Omega currently has to offer to the table, I'd take the old one any day. There's a certain delicate look to the older one that is lost in the new one with it's larger case and more brutish lines.

Firstly, I'm really thankful to your channel TGV, you've really opened my eyes up on luxury watches. After hours and hours of contemplation and comparisons, I finally bought the 2017 Omega Seamaster Diver 300m as my first luxury watch ! I was seriously comparing the exact two models you were comparing and ultimately (while I really liked the display back) decided on the earlier model. It just felt right on my wrist and I preferred its design a lot more. Anyways, keep posting TGV and I'll keep learning!

I have the same size wrist as TGV and don't like how the removed the seahorse from the caseback, the huge He valve, the increase in diameter and the printed logo...but for half the price of a Submariner I'm in!

Always appreciate your insight, TGV! I've got a blue dial 2018 model on order, and cant wait to get it! I love display casebacks, so losing the engraving is no big deal for me, and I have 7 and a quarter inch wrist, so the size is fine for me as well. With the improved movement, the new version is just perfect for me. I only wish they had an applied logo! I believe you said there was a reason for not having it in the video, but I don't think you explicitly said what it was. Maybe to match the blued hands? But then why not have it on the other models with stainless hands? Consistency I suppose. Oh well!

Savvy Life Strategies - 2012 to 2017 are the best years of the Seamaster 300m. Deep Black or Deep Blue Dial with the perfect Ceramic Bezel and very light numbering. Loved how the Seamaster evolved from the original. To me personally 2018 version is not the same anymore. Yes they brought back the wave dial and new movement etc. But look at the price jump now, the old version was the best bang for your buck luxury watch. Now it’s climbed up in price and very close to the Speedy.

I was taken a back, at first. I was not as a huge fan of the 90's models, even though we share much of the Bond influence (games, movies, etc). I preferred the earlier seamasters, like the new "Spectre" edition & it's brothers. I do admit, you're right it does grow on you. After listing how much work went into it, it sure looks like someone would enjoy that.

But in the end I fell in love with the Seamaster. I found one slightly used online for a bargained price, and the seller actually knocked off a few hundred euros because he liked me as a buyer. Totally worth every cent!

Good job TGV. Review, narration, and production. Between the two I would say 2017 over 2018. Unsure about the wave dial. I would rather have a vintage piece IMO. Several to choose from as you well know. What is nice though, we have a choice? Maybe as an older gentry member, I prefer the longevity of the brand and sometimes wish they would go back to their history and strong basics. Though the new pieces are very reliable and innovative. Onward and upward my good friend. Well done as usual. Until the next time, all the best Sir.

Have to admit I was a touch nervous about having bought the previous model once I discovered the update. Would have loved the newer in house movement in my SMPc (think that's why the case got bigger, to accommodate the greater size of the 8800), but after seeing the 2018 model breakdown in your video, I believe that the 2012-2017 model is a much classier watch.

To me the concern is not only the slight increase in size of the dial, but a 3mm increase lug to lug. Now 50mm. Will look odd on smaller wrists.

Hi the lug to lug is 48mm, not 50mm.

One question bro, does the new rubber strap fit also the previous seamaster 300m (2500 co axial) ?? Thank you

Great video! There had to be a reason why they increased the size. I can't see how it would make a big difference since it's only an increase of 1mm. I agree with you regarding the Helium escape valve. It's too big. Looks like a Reeses mini peanut butter cup! I like the older one better to be honest with that beautiful enamel black dial. Cheers.

I watched this wearing my 1997 Seamaster 300 Pro midsize bought new :) Loved the Goldeneye movie and N64 game. Great video, thanks

Love your videos TGV! Please do a comparison/duel against the Sub! Personally I prefer the bracelet on the new model but the watch as a whole the 2017 is the winner for me!

Can someone explain the difference in color on the applied numerals on the bezel? The 2017 model numbers look gray and the new ones look white. What is the old made with if not the white enamel?

No matter the subject, I always look forward to The Urban Gentry's unique intro's and reviews. Good job TGV! For this Seamaster, while some may like the changes from the previous version, they add more flash at the expense of class. Being "TDB" (Too D*mn Big) doesn't help either.
