First Look: The new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Titanium & Bronze Gold No-Date (incl. video)

It was only two weeks ago that Omega finally released the long-awaited watch spotted on the wrist of Daniel Craig during the Paris 2024 Olympics, the no-date edition of the emblematic Seamaster Diver 300M. While keeping the technical formula of the classic date Seamaster Diver 300M alive, these new editions – there were two, the classic black dial/bezel and a silver steel/titanium edition – somehow mixed elements of the neo-vintage SMP300 with features found on several Bond-themed watches – the NTTD and the 60 Years of Bond – which was all explained in our in-depth review. But this was not the end of the story, as Omega still had a surprise for the fans. And it’s this third version, the no-date Seamaster Diver 300M Titanium & Bronze Gold, with a green dial and bezel – and you can discover it in our latest video, together with the two classic steel versions. 

So, here we are with yet another evolution of the Seamaster Diver 300M, a rather special model with vintage touches, that follows the stainless steel versions recently released by Omega (which you can see above) and adds another distinctive choice within the no-date, retro-styled range. Moving away from the familiar ceramic style of recent years (found on the bezel and dial), this new edition merges Grade 2 Titanium and Bronze Gold for the case, together with aluminium for the bezel and dial. It all feels typical Omega to mix-and-match slightly unusual materials for the case, as seen with the Chronograph Titanium, Tantalum, and Gold. But here, it’s the brand’s recent bronze-gold material that’s been elected, an alloy made from 50% copper, 37.5% gold and other elements – and this qualifies as 9K gold.

But let’s go back to what makes this new Seamaster Diver 300M Titanium & Bronze Gold truly different, visually at least. There’s no hiding the resemblance of this watch with the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, which was worn in the James Bond film, No Time To Die. Notably, it relies on the same grade 2 titanium case, the same domed sapphire crystal, the same (optional) mesh bracelet and also uses aluminium instead of ceramic, a no-date display and multiple retro touches. It all feels the same, but thankfully there are some notable differences and cool touches to discover.

To start, we have the classic Seamaster Diver 300M case with its lyre-shaped lugs, a 42mm diameter, a 13.8mm thickness and a sub-50mm length. Classic features such as the conical crown and helium-escape valve at 10 o’clock have been retained and the overall look and feel is, without a doubt, familiar. What’s new then? Well, first of all, the use of grade 2 titanium for most of the case, which adds a slightly darker colour, a more instrument-like look (the case is entirely brushed) and a fairly lighter watch on the wrist – this Titanium & Bronze Gold edition is 111 grams on mesh, while the steel model on black dial with mesh is 154 grams. Specifications are otherwise classic; screw-in crown and caseback, 300m water-resistance.

What’s more? As we’ve seen in the two steel models launched two weeks ago, this Titanium & Bronze Gold model relies on the same domed sapphire crystal as found on the NTTD and 60-year models, which is once again here framed by a unidirectional bezel with an aluminium insert, with classic 60-minute scale. Adding contrast, warmth and a vintage touch, Omega’s bronze gold alloy is used for the bezel ring, the crown and the helium escape valve – note that, contrary to classic bronze, this alloy was designed to retain its natural patina and long-lasting soft pink hue over time, without turning green due to layer oxidation.

There’s more to this new edition than just materials, as colours are also different – differentiating it from the steel models but also the otherwise rather close NTTD. Green is the key element here, which is found on the aluminium bezel insert but also the aluminium dial. The no-date, matte and non-textured dial features large blackened applied indexes filled with vintage-toned Super-LumiNova, a colour that’s also found on the brushed hands. The diving scale is also coated in vintage Super-LumiNova.

Inside the case, and visible under the sapphire back, is the Calibre 8806. This no-date evolution of the classic 88xx base movement runs at a rate of 25,200 vibrations/hour and is regulated by the brand’s co-axial escapement with a free-sprung Silicon balance. The rhodium-plated central rotor features the hallmark red lacquered engravings and Geneva stripes in Arabesque, and brings 55h of power reserve to a single barrel. It’s a METAS-certified Master Chronometer, which means it can withstand magnetic fields of up to 15,000 Gauss and guarantees a 0/+5 seconds per day accuracy.

This new Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date Titanium & Bronze Gold can be chosen on an integrated green rubber strap with a foldover clasp or, as presented here, on the same grade 2 titanium mesh bracelet as the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition.

Now available and part of the permanent collection, this Titanium & Bronze Gold Seamaster Diver 300M is priced at CHF 8,700 or USD 9,900 on rubber strap, or CHF 9,400 or USD 10,700 on mesh bracelet (all prices excl. taxes). For more details, please consult OmegaWatches.com.
