NEW Omega Seamaster “Paris 2024” Edition - They Did WHAT?! 

Remember to follow us on IG! Our next giveaway is coming up soon 👀 instagram.com/chisholmhunterwatches?igshid=MjEwN2IyYWYwYw==

Omega would do everything to the Seamaster 300 but redesign the bracelet. lol

I was a Diver (Saturation) and used the Helium relief valve. It was designed for divers employed in Saturation diving, so it was a helpful device. If you don't like it you can buy the other Omega 300. I also had this watch, and I blew the glass out during decompression because I didn't, open the crown during deco.

For those of us on the solid caseback team, we are being spoiled by Omega this year. Smiling.

Just a correction, 6min48sec, the "4" on bezel's "40" is NOT darkened to commerate the 24th Olympics. That's just the lighting, other photos show that the numerals and minute markers are uniformally coloured.

I think the black 4 is not a feature, but just got black because of reflection on the bezel. The 4 is in gold on other pictures. Regarding the dial, i think is same white color, but wave pattern in positive relief (instead of laser cutting, or called negative relief) reflects differently and gives a different shade to the dial.

38 mm taper the bracelet and keep that pairs configuration . Top

I think it's pronounced "NIGH-add" Also, I don't think the 4 is black on the bezel - that's just a reflection. It's just gold like the other numbers. It's a beauty, and I think the nods to the Olympics are subtle enough that I would seriously consider purchasing it... if they made it 40mm.

Fab breakdown on the new special edition . great looking piece from omega Cheers Harrison

Beautiful watch, but I prefer the Seamaster 300M with a black dial and rose gold/ceramic bezel over this one.

a gold bezel insert doesn't seem like the most durable material to use

Harrison, I'm with you. I would prefer to see this as a member of the normal lineup. If they did that, Omega could sell this for years to come and well past the 2024 Olympic games. Cheers!

I don’t understand why people claim that it is a limited edition whereas there are no number / xxxx… I don’t have any gripes against the helium escape valve, I would have preferred a flush automatic rather than a protruding manual valve. But it’s an Omega, a Seamaster 300M with two crowns so be it. It’s a beautiful iconic design.

If it wasn't special edition I would totally buy as well. Aesthetically it's a such a beautiful piece and by far my favorite looking Seamaster. But similarly I simply don't have that personal connection to the Olympics to where it would feel right buying it. A shame it's not part of their normal lineup.

Just adorable ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Gotta love that Omega made the bracelet easier to remove rather than made the bracelet better so you don't want to remove it! Maybe Grand Seiko will follow suit 😂

One of the great feature of the white dia SMP is the contrast with the black hands and indexes. I am guessing you would lose that contrast with the gold and could make it very difficult to read the time. I have the seiko SPB123 and reading the time often needs more than 1 glance.

Nice review, 'as always' 😊

Haha I was waiting for you to talk about this Olympic watch *as always*

I have nothing against the He escapement valve really

Bellissimo

The added the quick release on the America‘s Cup Chrono. I hope they will add it to the whole SMP Collection.

I want to get my hands on the quick release bracelet. I hope we gan order the endlinks to upgrade our current models. Also, i don't think the 4 on the bezel is blackened, there are other photos that look normal, I think it may just be a trick of the light

the omega americas cup racing also has the naiad lock and the quick release bracelet

Good video Harrison! But one remark. You were a little bit wrong about 4 on the bezel. It is just on that photo looks "black" but on normal pictures it is same as all other numbers on the bezel :)

I'd love this watch if it wasn't a limited edition. As mentioned above it has a strong yachtmaster vibe about it. Ive no isdue with the HE valve most of the time it hidden under the cuff

Thank you! The bezel reminds me of a Rolex yacht master gold bezel.

I did not see Omega with Quick release bracelet before and that 's à huge cool new feature. I hope they will upgrade other SMP 300. I wonder if it' s included on 75th anniversary. Steel and gold, white and gold are good associations. But full steel bracelet mâles it cheap although golden strips would have been better. Why not à silver bezel one and a bronze one ? A specific collection for special édition is à good idea maybe à diver à chrono and à more classic /dressed. I hope they will listen to you Harrison. For me my first choice would be the green one (because it is also black 2 for 1), followed by 75th anniversary (bezel with ceramic and émaille grand feu 😮). Concerning the bracelet i agree with you. It has it's own identity. Clasp is good enough and the quick release system is à great plus, not so 90's anymore. I thank you as always for this new vidéo Harrison.

If they released it as a standard 300 and added the exhibition back, I think they’d sell better than the Olympic version. Like you, I’m not a big Olympic fan either. I watch it for the freaks of nature, like Bolt and Phelps, but that’s about it. I get the reason for this edition though. They’re the official time keeper and would be kinda weird if they didn’t. I am a Bond fan and my grail watch is the older Bond Seamaster “Commander” version with the 007 on the red second hand 🤤. Now if only I could keep myself from buying “more affordable” watches for a few months, I might actually be able to own one before there’s no more new ones available on the 2nd hand market 😅

I love the He valve (I’m a commercial diver, but not saturation). I dive with a g-shock.

I want to get the Great White as my first proper watch, but i'm having a hard time deciding between the bracelet and the rubber. Would love to hear your opinion. Cheers from 🇨🇭

100% agree would consider buying if it did not have the Olympics stuff and an open case back

I have always hated the He valve on the Seamaster's. I used to look in disgust at my friend's Plant Ocean and ask why they put that cancerous thing on there. I have now owned a 300M green dial for a year 😂I somehow don't notice it now 😄

It would be cool if they could etch the flame on the sapphire on the caseback instead of doing a full stainless steel. Same with the NTTD and Nekton edition

Can Chisholm Hunter do an in-depth overview of the Seamaster 300 Nekton edition?

It is the first time they have had the quick release. I wonder if they have also thinned the bracelet a bit, made it lighter? If they have I am getting one for my 300M.

I think the 4 on back and in date window looks like it’s someone holding the torch? Is it not?

I love the band (my favorite) and have to have the valve.

The watch is great but I just want those new bracelet endlinks with the quick release

The 4 on the bezel is not blackened, its just the lighting

I absolutely love the helium escape valve on my Omega Seamaster. It looks like a little Recees Peanut Butter cup. So cute!

Love it

Personally I like watches to be timeless (of course telling the time though). My daily watch is an Explorer. That’s never (at least I hope never) going to feel like a dated watch. These sorts of limited editions however, they will be. For me it’s like songs that reference current events or pop culture. Or at worst say the year in the song. After that year, it’s over, the song is done. So I fully agree with you, had this not been an dated olympics special/limited edition, it would be fantastic.

Yes, the prize for the watch is fair.

I really like this watch, for my tiny female wrist kinda need 36mm, but still very nice. Comments are saying this is feminine looking (and if that's what Omega was going for, could've made it smaller 😂) Anyway, Cheers!

As I posted, Omega released a chicks Yachtmaster, cool? I think.........It has vintage Constellation vibes too, 2:41 caseback and bracelet anyway....

Don't like the escape valve. Certainly wouldn't need it for this watch.

Wow! Gold bezel….looks good! I thought it was bronze.

By the way, Special Olympics Edition, or Special Edition Olympics? Big difference! LoL😅

looking for the "this is just a poor mans yacht master" comment

A new standard has gone viral if you guys have heard, It's called "Omega Ugly" which is basically same as Mega Ugly😂

quick release bracelet is a long time coming

I like the fact it looks like an invicta 😂

The black 4 is just the picture, I just bought one from the AD and it is gold color not black. A little disappointed but still a very nice watch.

Dare I say omega yatchmaster

I thought the same, an open case back , then they would have my money

I would like “the great white” as you call it, if the bezel was aluminum. As an aside, the Helium escape valve is iconic and the watch would look broken without it.

Just my opinion. For some reason something about this really bother me. Not sure if its because it feels same or if I really hate the bezel

yeah, that's what Omega needs, more SKUs

I hate display casebacks, they stick to my wrist like a limpet, even in a cold day I get a damp spot.

Why does Omega make their divers so big though? That’s the one thing I can’t get over about their dive watches

Come on it looks close to my gold bezel Rolex yacht master looks almost the same except for the bracelet

It’s called NAIAD LOCK

The date is too small.

I prefer the closed back as similarly to Rolex, the calibre is rather industrial and pedestrian so not that pretty to see… Now, on this one they could have had a see through back but with a Sedna gold balance decorated for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It would have been nicer than this insert médaillon. Obviously, this watch will sell but it is not my cup of tea. £2000 extra for the tiniest weight of gold… I like the fonts for these Olympic Games but I think that the whole date wheel should have these rather than only the 24… To me there are too many little gimmicky touches, I don’t like that approach so much.

Dial looks exactly like a Yacht Master….

There we go again, number 3 this year.. After the James Bond 60 Anniversary and the Summer Edition AGAIN a new one.. (It seems quite feminine to me). I think they even never sold out one of the Olympic Games watches.. A never ending story with still endless of limited edition to come.. Omega is getting ridiculously lazy !

I hate that I kinda like it

Personally, I really don’t like Omega’s Olympic Games and James Bond editions. This is a beautiful watch, but I would prefer it as a regular model release, without the Olympics BS

Would like to see this without the Olympic connection.

not hideous but it's getting close.🙂 The He2 escape valve is hideous, though.

If you like the watch, buy it. Just because you have no connection to the Olympic Games is no reason not to buy the watch! I have never heard such a nonsensical reason not to buy a watch. It's these little "hidden" gimmicks related to the Olympics that make the watch so special! Otherwise it would be just one of many other Seamaster 300m watches that get lost in the masses.

This is the best looking Steel Seamaster in my opinion.ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

Love the look but I bought my black dial Seamaster full set on bracelet for under £4K just two years ago. I love it, wart and all, so I wouldn't buy this.

There is a noise like a child screaming in the video background. I had to switch off. Harrison, sort this out please!

Omega continuing their transition to a fashion brand

Is the bezel action still trash?

Nice, but not enough for me to open the wallet

Oh meh ga.

Bracelet needs a more appealing look!

i love the helium escape valve it sets it self apart from rolex by having it. Also I love when "watch guys" think its a rolex but clearly dont know what they are talking about

- not a fan of this piece .do not like the bezel tone. ~. JDS/CT

It looks unfinished - it needs some gold in the bracelet. A bracelet change with a taper would be most welcome too....

What’s that annoying sound in the background… it sounds like a Police siren… ?

What!? Another variation of the Seamaster to join the 3457 models they already sell. Joy! ;-) Ps. Sorry, whilst I quite like the dial & hands, albeit a bit feminine, the texture of the gold bezel looks awful imho. Appears cheap & tacky. It’s like the watch came from the 90s, honestly.

We want a NEW seamaster 😤Omega needs to rethink entirely this watch once and for all🙏🙏🙏

Not feel this at all..... Feels all washed out. It's a no from me.

I'm sorry (not really) but theres nothing more to love about the model. I own a seamaster but this is just a ... no! Visually it isn't attractive.

Honestly Chisolm I don't like it.

Hate it.

It’s so ugly this will crash second hand.

That bracelet is horrible, I can’t believe Omega refuses to change it. I would still buy it, but the black 4 on the bezel kills the whole watch. I can deal with the logo in the seconds hand because it’s very small, but that black 4 is a bunch of yuck. So to answer your question, I’d buy the normal version, but not this special one.

Bracelet, Bracelet, Bracelet! Please...

This is one tacky watch. When will Omega put some effort in a better looking bracelet? It’s a huge meh for me. No worries, more for other people to go around 😉

Awful, looks like a Seamaster made by Dior

That bracelet is so outdated. Omega must redesign it soon

Very feminine watch.

Hate

One of the worst designed diving watch ever, take your poison bettween horrible looking braclet,shrek valve, horrible fat skeleton dial and hexagonal bezel which is famous for being frictionless,font on the date is straight crap and that chaptering is just bad design!!!

Lol what a joke of a watch
