At Omega, there’s the Speedmaster for soaring through the skies and the Seamaster for diving into the seas. Each has its own adventure. One thing is certain: both are renowned as some of the greatest exploration watches. Today, it’s time to explore the ocean depths with two new Seamaster Diver 300M models. And this Seamaster is no ordinary one—not by a long shot. It’s the same model worn by 007, aka James Bond, since 1995 and the movie GoldenEye. If the most famous spy and the Seamaster are inseparable on-screen, they are just as much in everyday life and on the red carpet. Daniel Craig provided the perfect example during the Governors Awards ceremony on November 17, sporting the new Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold a few months before its release. So, what’s special about this new diver watch?
This latest edition of the iconic Seamaster stands out due to its use of Bronze Gold, an alloy developed and used exclusively by Omega, composed of gold, palladium, and silver. This unique material offers a warm hue, richer than traditional bronze while being more subtle than gold, along with exceptional durability—especially against corrosion. Omega subtly suggests that it possesses all the advantages of gold and bronze combined without their drawbacks: natural patina over time without the verdigris often associated with bronze, and a discreet, refined shine rather than the sometimes flashy look of gold. The ultimate alloy? That’s for you to decide.
In terms of design, the Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold features a decidedly vintage look with a brushed finish and a unidirectional bezel—also in Bronze Gold—with a Burgundy-colored aluminum insert. Beyond its retro aesthetic, this warm shade pairs perfectly with the precious alloy of the 42mm case and contrasts beautifully with the matte black dial. As for its diving capabilities, this timepiece remains true to its reputation as an adventure-ready diver’s watch, featuring a helium escape valve at the 10 o’clock position—essential for saturation diving—and water resistance up to 300 meters. Even in the darkest ocean depths, readability is ensured thanks to gold hands and indices, all filled with Super-LumiNova.
At the heart of this watch beats the Omega Master Co-Axial 8806 caliber, a self-winding movement certified as a Master Chronometer, offering a 55-hour power reserve. The movement’s finishing can be admired through the sapphire crystal case back. For the strap, Omega offers two configurations that give this new Seamaster Diver 300M two distinct personalities. The first, sportier option features a supple and comfortable black rubber strap with a Bronze Gold pin buckle. The second comes with a fully brushed Milanese mesh bracelet in Bronze Gold, equipped with a folding clasp, giving James Bond’s watch—and its wearer—an ultra-sophisticated look.
With this Bronze Gold edition and Burgundy bezel, Omega gives its iconic Seamaster Diver 300M a new luxurious interpretation. Still built for adventure, it will undoubtedly appeal to the inner James Bond diver in all of us.
