Omega Seamaster 300M worth $5,000? Hands on review | IFL Watches 

Bought one last month. My father passed in December and he was a watch guy I very much admired. Omega was on his list to own, but never got one. Now I have the model he loved and wear it proudly.

The blue dial was my wedding day present from my wife. I wear it everywhere. I love it.

I saved for quite a while and got myself a Seamaster in blue and I have absolutely no regrets. The biggest issue was deciding between the blue and the black because both of them are stunning.

If this 300m isnt worth 5000, how can anyone justify spending double that amount on a rolex sub with inferior specs and techs?

Good video but it’s absolutely just their opinion. I, as a watch repairer, absolutely think the mechanism alone is worth the money. It’s so well build and filled with quality. You have to know about the technical aspects to appreciate it.

Blue is my fav, definitely a cool diver watch and also Omega for 5k is great with those movements. Well done guys, keep the videos coming!

Very articulate and entertaining. Thanks, y'all!

From the luxury watches I have owned, the Omega Planet Ocean and Seamaster 300 coaxial (which is not this version specifically) are one of the few that actually felt like they were worth the money I paid for them in terms of movement and execution.

The grey dial floats my boat. I have an old 2531.80 that I love and sometimes older versions aren't improves upon, but in this case they are

Fantastic look at these stunning Omega 300 watches, I have been after one of these for a while but couldn't decide on the colour. I ended up purchasing the grey dial today and I'm over the moon. I also ordered the blue leather strap. After watching your description on all I will also add the black dial next. Thanks again.🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Really helpful review. Many thanks Noel

Just picked up a Seamaster 300m, blue bezel on blue dial. My first introduction to higher end watches was with Tudor, and I love my GMT, but the Seamaster is a beautiful piece of hardware.

This is the most realistic video I think so far. I hope the video can talk more about its advantages and disadvantages.

It’s like a watch review from Hans and Franz. Love it. Ended up picking up the Black Seamaster with rubber strap at the AD with a discount and couldn’t be happier. Subscribed to your channel!

Definitely blue dial! The bracelet is awesome also, the design is amazing and unique - so much better than a boring oyster style bracelet. I love that it doesn't taper!

The white dial is the correct choice, killer watch either way though!

I like all the colours a lot. My favourite is the silver dial with the steel bracelet.

I chose the white dial. They are all elegant and smooth. Worth every penny to me. Appreciate the review fellas.

I have the white dial on a rubber strap. Love it

U-boat to a great job very well done thank you very much look forward to the next one one

Well done, keep going! :)

Loving the fact they are very genuine

The grey one is my favorite, you can appreciate the waves of the dial better than the others (which i like) and the light blue detatils that the hour markers and hads have are very playful when you move your wrist with some sort of light

I just got a black one on the rubber strap and I love it. When it first arrived I was unsure if I had made the right choice, but after wearing it for a few weeks I couldn't be happier, especially for the price -- $4200 on Crown & Caliber, in perfect condition w/box and papers. I have a few other watches but this is by FAR the best value because it doesn't feel like I made a compromise in any way for the price point. People who don't know the watch market assume it's a $10k watch.

Yes. Especially the white dial

The Seamaster 300m is a bargain considering the top-level brand recognition and very high quality you get. Absolute steal when compared to Rolex prices today. Same for the Aqua Terras.

The blue dail The original when it first came out. 👌

Thank you for an entertaining video.Difficult to determine which is the most attractive dial.Even so,it looks like a quality watch.Stay safe.

Good discussion. I wore the previous 41mm SMPc for several years. It's a very nice watch and worthy of daily wear, but I grew tired of the shine after a while. It's too reflective. The rhodium plated hands and logo look spectacular in some lighting conditions and completely flat in others. This variance bothered me. The 2500D movement ran about +6/spd which is in-spec but not great. The scalloped bezel looks cool but is useless from a functional standpoint. The bracelet is solid but dated in terms of design and I agree with you on the lack of taper being a minus. I sold the SMPc for a 14060M two-liner and never looked back.

Love it. Black dial is my favorite, but I'd get the blue or grey since I already have a black dial Submariner.

Just got one blue dial with blue rubber strap. Love it.

Have the black seamaster and love it. 😍

Thank you, great video. Love the black. Would have to sell my 2 watches that are worth anything to get it. I don't know. Maybe.

I have the white dial. Love it.

i remember when a seamaster 300m professional automatic used to cost $1,200 in the year 2000. And that was a lot of money.

I bought the black with both bracelet and rubber, before the price rise and honestly it is the best pound for pound daily driver dive watch, i agree on the bracelet a taper would have been better, i wear 80% on the rubber and its suits it better. Use the saving over a rolex to invest in a good dress watch. Great review

White dial with black rubber strap

I got the Blue one in honor of the original Goldeneye Bond watch, and I love it!

Great review

It’s not often a watch is actually worth the price tag. Blue dial for me plz 😁

The grey is phenomenal, just got one yesterday!

Why does no one review the steel & precious metal? got my eyes on the steel and yellow gold with black dial on rubber...looks amazing though! thanks for your review

While i don't agree with your opinion on the watch, i still think it's a very good review. We have the same wrist size so i look forward to watching your watch reviews.

I own the black dial seamaster 300 for 2 years I love it🔥

I always hated the bracelet this design is a bit better without the tapering. But I’m planning on using the rubber strap and the nato with this and that will be fine.

Hey Guys. Would love to see a product video on the IFL WATCH ROLL

In terms of finish, I don’t put the Tudor at the same level as the Omega. The movement, maybe be another point of discussion. Although I’m really happy with this movement in the Omega.

Man I can’t decide between blue/blue or the black. Gorgeous and timeless.

I wear a black dial sea master with a grey and black omega nato strap. With the sapphire back and ceramic waves on the dial I think it’s a better looking watch than a submariner.

I do have online search skills! Maybe I should go for it!

The answer is an emphatic “YES!” If you sell and trade watches, you can probably do better; but if you like to own, wear, and KEEP watches; I challenge anyone to find a better all-around champion.

Hell Yess!!! Love my white dial!!!

The grey one is my favorite!

I am looking into the new white dial, that looks so good in a more temperate climate. Otherwise the classic blue would be my choice.

Got the chrome dial - still would pick it all day long

Grey dial really pops when you place a blue band on it to even out the two different colors and pulls out the blue accents on the dial. the silver bands with the grey dial does make it monochrome.

Great watch at the price and quality

Wow love this.

I have been trying to get my hands on the Blue dial but it's always out of stock 🤣🙈. Hence went with the dualtone blue dial instead of the all steal one

The black dial is the most beautiful.

Best all around auto watch money can buy by far. The BLUE one for ME. 😊

The scary part about online retailers is not knowing how legit they are...

The seamasters looks better on the rubber straps, I got the blue dial with rubber strap and it looks amazing!!! Wear it everyday for one year and it still shines as new and enjoy it everyday.

Just picked up the black dial on the rubber strap. I'm not a fan on the non tapered bracelet.

Please Aleksandear tell me what watch you are wearing? Beautiful reverse Panda chronograph, like to now what it is ? Blue dial is stunning!

I bought the blue dial today, I got tired waiting for a sub. F Rolex

I have the black bezel white dial version of this watch. When I went scuba diving with it and timed my dive, it was much easier to turn the bezel with salt water on my hands. I was like "oh I get it" in my head. Omega knows what they are doing.

Great discussion of the 3 colours...shame no whit dial. Would either of u change your colour choice???

Yes it does worth it. The blue dial looks the best.

Nice review. Don't think you can find a new one for $4K now can you!?

Does anyone else’s clasp on this make a click noise when you tap it? And when the clasp it shut and upside down the swing arm hangs down a bit

Blue is stunning.

To me the it's a close battle between the Black and the Blue; on one hand the Black version has brighter wave patterns that are visible under different light; whereas the Blue has bright wave patterns as well, but feels a tad bit less visible than the black; especially under low light or shadow. But the Blue colour looks great and is a good choice if you have way too many black dial watches. Tough choice.

The bracelet of the 300m Professional is one of the BEST designed bracelets for comfort and utility ever made. It's comfier than an oyster style generally, it's similar to jubilee style with lots of articulation points. It also looks dressier and more character than a standard 3-link bracelet. My main criticism of the bracelet is it's non-tapering, it should really taper down to 18mm (maybe even less). Also, the links on the latest model have gone unnecessarily thick, they should drop the thickness back down to the 2012-2018 model

Can’t wait to get my blue dial, bezel Seamaster! The price seems to be going up the last 2 weeks.

I have blue and white dial and love them both equally. I really cannot say I prefer one over the other!

What watch is the presenter Alex wearing? It looks very good 👍

First time I've seen your channel. Your shots of the 3 watches look super professional, well done. Your logo looks good behind you too. The ugly barnacle that is the helium escape valve, and the skeletonized hands are major negatives to me. I'd have the rubber strap version, no interest in the bracelet for me, unless you told me for future resale it would be wrong to not buy the bracelet version and buy the strap as an accessory. If you changed the hour & minute hand to simple solid bars like the Omega Railmaster (no fat taper, no silly arrow heads) and kept the seconds hand I think it might be a nice variant, perhaps without the carbuncle helium valve and only 150 or 200 meter certification? You know what the excuses are for the slippery bezel? The large flats make it super easy to adjust with gloves when diving and coincidentally make the bezel more difficult to accidentally turn while bumping against & reaching into/under things while underwater. Yeah, maybe, they look pretty good though. I think I might take a blue Pelagos or a blue Black Bay over these three because of the hands, the valve and the wavy dial pattern. Nice video, well done.

I think even at 5k it’s a tremendous value. If comparing to the segment standard of the sub, the build quality is absolutely on par. Aesthetic’s are a personal thing but quality wise it is just as good. The place where the sub obviously wins out is resale but I don’t buy watches to sell. My collection is for my grandson when I’m gone. These are my opinions and as always YMMV. Sincerely, Rick

Hello everyone This OMEGA watch is simply a pure bomb ! The brand done a very good job and they are actually do is best to clean the situation about heavy discount cause this is not a good point. There is a price and it must be keep to secure the value of the each watch. So according to the quality, to the design, to the metas caliber, this watch at the retail price is already a very good choice. The bracelet is less “organic” than the previous version, but it’s still ok may be more modern and will please more people. Anyway it’s a stunning piece Seamaster lover !

Grey dial, very nice

white dial with the black bezel is the best for me

Black dial is stunning.

Take off the helium valve, take off the date, lume the bezel, and adjust the minute/seconds markers on the dial so they’re not connected. Then it’s perfect

What watch model does Aleksandar (guy on the right) wear here? Looks good!

Yes very good price preowned. Aesthetically, I have the solid swords hands 2254, which to me, looks better. I have several Seamaster divers, but will never go for the skeleton hands model. I don't like it.

Always get the steel bracelet and work your negotiating skills and have the AD throw in the silicone strap. Beautiful timepiece this is a definite Rolex killer and the best part is the price is right on point and you can walk out the door wearing it instead of being told you have to go on a wait list from Rolex .

Wish blue dial is more like navy blue like older version

The blue on these is significant. It is because, the blue looks good in swimming pools and the ocean and it is important as brand placement vs. the Rolex. Blue is always the one to get, in this and even in the much older versions of this watch.

I’d say so unless you can tell me what is comparable and better at the 5k price point ?

The only thing I’ve never liked is the 90s bracelet design. It’s the deal breaker for me as I prefer bracelets to straps. I still prefer to Planet Ocean

Okay, hold up... Why am I just getting this channel suggested to me *_now?_* I was looking into snagging a grey or white dial Seamaster 300M around 8-9 months ago, however, I never found any RU-vid channels that were giving good opinions/review information *_while_*_ _*_also_* showing high quality video clips of the piece. With that said, I wish that I found this channel earlier as it has the perfect watch content that I've been looking for before deciding on a particular piece. Regardless, I wanted a piece that I could wear 24/7 without issue, and so I dismissed the Seamaster and ended up getting a Sinn U50-T. The fully tegimented steel case, bezel and bracelet literally make the thing rust-proof and mostly scratch proof! So it's perfect for a continuous wear watch. The only issue with it is the fact that mine literally gets *_+6 to +7_* seconds per day and doesn't even meet the standards that Sinn was advertising *_(+/- 4 seconds per day)_* . But at least it comes with a guaranteed warranty for one full year! So just before that expires, I'll just have to remember to send my piece in for a teardown, clean-up and rebuild. But yeah, one of those aforementioned watches will likely be my next watch snag in a few years, haha.

subscribed at the chicken wrists :)

I’m getting one

White dial is the king of this series.

Just bought one from Jomashop so I paid 4K , got my unboxing video up now. I say it’s worth every penny. Huge step up from my previous watches all 1000 or less

I need the Chronographs

Is the non-tapered bracelet looking wa but 90s over fussy styling

What happened to the midsize Omega Seamaster? , not manufactured anymore?

I actually like companies that DON’T give me much choice. I friggin hate having to choose between this or that colour, this or that dial etc.
