The bronze-gold alloy consists of copper, 9-karat gold, silver, gallium, and palladium.
With bronze gold, there’s nothing to worry about.
#OMEGA SEAMASTER 300 SKIN#
Bronze watches often have a steel or titanium case back, so there’s no skin irritation. First, there’s no risk for people with an allergy. This new alloy has a number of characteristics that make it an interesting choice for a watch. The bronze-gold Seamaster 300 234.92.41.21.10.001 is the one that received the most attention in our office. Omega sent us a box of watches under embargo, and inside we found three new Seamaster 300 models. Without further ado, let’s have a look at the new bronze gold Seamaster 300 and see how it wears. The classic Broad Arrow hands and straight lugs remain. The 41mm diameter remains, but the case band and bezel combined are slimmer than before, with the old height retained by virtue of a boxy sapphire. The Omega Seamaster 300 collection receives a few subtle changes, including an upgraded movement (caliber 8912, Master Chronometer certified) and modified case proportions. However, this fresh new alloy - the aptly-named bronze gold - is something new to us all. Bronze certainly isn’t new to the industry.
#OMEGA SEAMASTER 300 PLUS#
The bracelet too is updated for a smoother look & more comfortable fit, plus it features a patented extendable foldover rack-and-pusher with diver extension.Omega updated its Seamaster 300 collection and added a bronze gold version (reference 234.92.41.21.10.001) as well. Both the bezel insert AND the dial are made of ceramic, and the latter once again features the iconic wave pattern (now laser-engraved). This generation is powered by Omega's high-tech caliber 8800, which is fully in-house, a-magnetic, and METAS-certified. At 42mm, the case is slightly larger than before, and it is fitted with a see-through caseback - a feature only found on a handful of earlier 300M's. Though still instantly recognizable as a Seamaster 300, the changes made are the biggest since the introduction of the original 1993 version. The fourth generation of the Seamaster 300M was introduced at BaselWorld 2018 in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the collection. Omega Seamaster 300M - Fourth Generation - 2018 In our configuration this watch carried the reference number 212.30.41.20.03.001. The bezel insert of this generation was ceramic rather than aluminum, and the dial lost its waves in favor of a smooth glossy finish. This time the movement remained unchanged, but the looks were updated quite drastically.
#OMEGA SEAMASTER 300 UPDATE#
The third mayor update of the Seamaster 300M collection was made in 2012. Omega Seamaster 300M - Third Generation - 2012 In our configuration this watch carried the reference number 2220.80.00. The dial received an update in the form of applied indexes, applied Omega logo & wording, and red Seamaster text.
Caliber 1120 found itself replaced by caliber 2500, which featured Omega's proprietary Co-Axial technology - though both are based on the ETA 2892. The second generation of the Omega Seamaster 300M was introduced in 2006. For our reference model the biggest change was in the movement. Omega Seamaster 300M - Second Generation - 2006 Around 1997-1998 the luminescent material was upgraded from Tritium to Luminova. The earliest versions were powered by caliber 1109, though it most commonly seen with the 1120. In our reference configuration this watch carried the reference number 2531.80.00. And the Seamaster 200M is now often referred to as the 'Pre-Bond'! While it was the quartz version that was used in this first installment of the Bond - Omega partnership, 'Bond' moniker has since been used for any Seamaster 300M with the blue dial, blue bezel insert, and 5-link bracelet. The popularity of the Seamaster 300M made a huge jump when it was used in the 1995 James Bond 'GoldenEye' movie, a clever move devised by Jean-Claude Biver. Compared to this earlier model it featured a more traditional case design, with key characteristics being the gently sweeping 'lyre' lugs (a reference to the Seamaster 300 of 1964 onward) and the unique scalloped bezel. Another signature is the wave pattern on the dial, which is found on all but a handful of the huge number of variations that was made of this generation.
The Omega Seamaster 300M was introduced in 1993 as a replacement for the Seamaster 200M. Omega Seamaster 300M - First Generation - 1993 Below we'll briefly go over the specifics of each generation, using the full-size automatic in stainless steel / blue as our point of reference. At BaselWorld 2018 Omega celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Seamaster 300M by launching the fourth generation of this highly popular (dare we say iconic?) dive watch.
