Perfect…Except One Thing - No Time To Die Seamaster 

"I like that they're putting their prices up to compete in another price bracket" Is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard. It's just an artificial bracket jump, there's no quality increase just a bigger number of the tag. How anyone outside of Omega can like that is absolutely bonkers.

the bezel action smoothes out over time and can rotate with equal amounts of pressure full circle no problem.

I bought the watch recently. I love it. And the bezel is great. I think it’s because this was on display.

The bezel action on my NTTD Seamaster is just perfect! I also have the recent Rolex Submariner and the bezel action on both watches are almost equal. They are both great. Sound a bit different, but they are both great!

I have never fallen in love with a watch as I have with this Seamaster. I’d admired it since we got our first look at it in the trailers for No Time To Die. Finally was lucky enough to get myself one for Christmas, and the bezel action is perfect - the clicks are kinda heavy, I suppose (no more so than my other Omegas), but the pressure required is reasonable and consistent.

I put the NTTD on and that was it, I had to buy this watch. The weight the comfort like nothing else I’ve worn . Love it’s unassuming classic looks too

I just got mine and I do LOVE it! The first thing I noticed was the light weight. It is so much lighter than my other dive watches. I really enjoy wearing it, and to me, that's what it's all about.

G'day Harrison, I've been tempted to get one fo these ever since it's release, but some of these negatives you've mentioned here (as with other reviewers) have held me back so far... Excellent video as always

I think your observations on the NTTD Seamaster were all valid, above all “I buy it first because of the looks”. Beyond the function of telling time, watches are jewelry and you gravitate to what visually appeals to you. When the NTTD was first announced, for me it took a bit to warm to it, but once I did, I really liked it, and what appealed to me was the image of tough, no nonsense, simple, and faux military issue. However, once I started wearing mine, I noticed a big caveat to the design- the dial and bezel are difficult to read in anything but full sun and full darkness. In indoor medium lighting, I find the dial more difficult to read at a glance. I believe this is due to the colors- a deep brown dial with beige markings all just don’t have the contrast of black and white, and the skeleton hands don’t help. Every other dive watch I have has a face I can read at a distance, but this one, not so much. It goes to show that sometimes things done for style compromise the function of the design.

Well, as a collector of watches for the past 50 years, I always get a kick out of reviews that do NOT run the watch for at least 48 hours and let us know about how well it keeps time. Watches are all about the movement, everything else is icing on the cake. I could get into this but honestly who cares, just do your own research and after a few thousand hours you will see what I mean. I see people commenting all the time saying this is a much better watch than that one and they have no idea that the cake is the same but the icing is different and they like the icing and the name written in it because that is what a marketing guru told them to believe. Some of the most beautiful watches I have ever owned were made by Rolex. Some of the watches that I have ever owned that kept the worst time were.....drum roll.....Rolex's!!!!!! If you went back to the 1970s, some of the most impressive dive watches were made by Rolex, Omega, Doxa, and Zodiac's Super Sea Wolf and many of them all shared the same inner workings. The marketing team at Rolex was just wiser and aligned themselves with key sporting events, Olympics, PGA, 24 Hours of Le Mans, and of course other major events. Before you knew it, if you wanted great sports watch you simply had to purchase the Rolex and pay more for it because paying more means it's simply better right!? Ever heard of Lemania? Well, Rolex sure did and during that same era Omega wore the same underwear and that is a fact. So next time you decide to research a watch think about this joke and apply it to your watch research; how do you tell the difference between a male and female chromosome? You pull down their genes, and now look inside the watches and see if they share the same gene pool before spending your hard-earned money. Good luck..............BTW, money aside, my favorite watch will always be my early Omega Speed Master Professional. I love both the 321 and 861.

So I have the black seamaster and I was going to trade in my black 2022 SMP and my Tudor BlackBay 58 for this watch. I thought it would be those two watches in one, the vintage and brown of my bb58 in the seamaster form. After trying it on though the lightness surprisingly turned me off a bit, felt too light funny enough. Also the dial felt a bit too muted. Decided against the trade. Keeping the two, blingy SMP and more muted bb58 is what I decided to do. Other thing for is matching diff bracelet to it which I do a lot would be tougher to the titanium. Still love the look though.

SMPs have never been known to have good bezel action. Their system could be arguably more "secure" than Rolex's, but Rolex has an unbeatable bezel feel and sound. Saying that as an Omega fan.

Another great video Harrison. I really considered this piece before I bought my Polar as I was selling my great white Seamaster. I sold the great white because it was heavier and thicker than it really needs to be, and this titanium piece is thinner and lighter, so it solves both issues. Plus I really like the look. Now I'm still considering selling my Polar and getting the 14060M 2 liner, but I have to admit that this piece is also a contender.

I love that is not a in-your-face 007 watch, just a great watch from Omega, to big tho

The Helium relief value would be used but Saturation divers and the 1500 gauss again would be used when divers are doing Magnetic particle Inspection (MPI). This is when you use a magnetic field to find a surface breaking crack in a weld on say an Oil rig. So yes it is a great tool watch for inspection divers.

Purchased the NTTD with the Milanese bracelet. Agree with your comments on the bezel. I love the look and the bracelet is very comfortable on my 7.5” wrist. A lot thinner than my other 42mm Tudor. I’ll be keeping the watch for a while.

Tried this one on at a Vegas boutique and it’s incredible. Such a light watch that wears and feels smaller than 42mm. Not a fan of the mesh, but the NATO looks great.

I’ve had mine for about a year. The one complaint I have is the clasp on the bracelet. It sticks once in a while and I have to kind of mess with it for a moment to get it to open. That is my only complaint. It is super lightweight and comfortable on the wrist and I love the color scheme.

It's a sick piece no doubt, but the extra 4K due to it being a special edition and in titanium without a date makes it so unjustifiable. I have the standard blue from 2021 and think it's alot better in value for money and function than the NTTD.

I love this watch but the brown Lume doesn’t work well in low light and the bezel on mine is mushy/decent bit of play… still love everything else about it

That actually is NOT nit picky. The Bezel action is important. Good point!

I have the the NTTD. I had the regular stainless steel version and for me the bezel action is a lot better on the NTTD than the SS version.

Great video my friend.. I own the one on the mesh bracelet and love it..I have no issues with the bezel action, it's not as clean as my Tudor GMT or as silky and buttery as my Rolex Sub, but it gets the job done with a Bond flair.. and IMHO Rolex has the best bezel action in the bizz! Rolex may be the King, but Omega is the ROCK STAR!!!🤘⌚️😃👍

Great review! I also enjoyed the feel on the wrist of the titanium, I think it suits the watch. Didn't love the colour scheme, generally not a fan of fauxtina, but it did work well with the dial. I also found the bezel action to be shockingly terrible on the in store models. This watch in titanium with a more standard dial colour, white lume and a better bezel would be a hit.

Spray some silicon oil in the bezel. Titanium seizes very easily. It requires lubrication. That fixed mine permenetly

Very Good presentation. Bought the Omega with the Nato Strap and have had the Issue with the bezel when I first purchased the watch but seems to have worn in. Love the NTTD Seamaster.

I love my NTTD, my only complaint is the lume.

I agree, the NTTD is the best looking 300M. I even talked my pal into buying the NTTD instead of the standard 300M. He likes the appearance, the 007 connection, the lightness, and the titanium bracelet. He does not like the bezel action and he finds it difficult to tell the time in low light conditions due to the skeleton hands.

I’ve just purchase a used one for £5800. I’ll never purchase the likes of omega as a new watch. Too much cash thrown away. Lovely watch.

About the P39 bezel, you should not need to push it down to be able to turn it smoothly. I would get that looked at by a Tudor AD.

You didn’t mention how comfortable it is compared to other 40mm+ watches. Extremely lightweight and you can wear it all day.

I think the lesser bezel action is due to the use of titanium

All scallop-edge bezels from Omega suck, even the previous SMP version. James Stacey of Hodinkee tells the story how he went diving with one and was unable to rotate the bezel with wet hands. Good thing he had a dive computer as a backup.

Right now I'm sitting between this one and the spectre. Which would you go for?

They depreciate a lot. My mate purchased his last year for over £9k. You can get a used one now for £6k.

what's the best strap I can replace my No time to die

Thanks for the review. I had questions regarding the bracelet. So my real real question…Is it better than the Tudor Pelagos 39/42? Is it worth twice the price? Keep up the good work!

I fitted a leather strap to mine & it looks awesome & more comfortable 👍

I love mine and I’ve actually dived with mine and I put it on the NATO when I dived with it last month

Every collector needs to have an Omega in the collection 👌

Wow that looks just like the Rolex Submariner that Sean Connery wore in Dr No. Omega is hands down the best Rolex homage brand.

I had other semasters but nttd has the best bezel action. Smooth and very easy to turn.

It's a great watch but the price can't be justified against other Seamaster 300s.

Waves my 1966 165.014 full patina.

Wait… I spy a Rolex with a rotating bezel on the wrist. Is this a new watch? 😮

2 year review, I love mine but lume longevity is not great. Also the black paint on the back comes off due to rubbing with arm hair (could just be mine). It does have a light benzel action bit doesn't bug me.

Naw you’re right bro… the bezel action blows in a bad way. Great video and I’ve subscribed.🤘🏻

Best looking watch ever

0:48 I believe you meant No Time To Die

It’s surely is a very nice watch until you try the Tudor Blackbay 58.

Try to rotate the bezel without gloves…mine rotates perfectly.

Great video! You have some of the same "dislikes" I do. I hated the Milanese strap from Day 1. I took the watch back, and the AD asked me to wear it daily for two weeks and then come back to see if I felt the same. I don't think there was any "stretch", but it did wear far better than first impression. I still don't LOVE it, but I love the overall look and feel of this watch. I have an Artem Straps NTTD NATO for the same reason, OMEGA wanted a little too much for titanium hardware.

It's a great watch there is no doubt, but it's simply a super marketing triumph from Omega with that evergreen Bond association. Even without the recent price hike I simply could not justify the £3,800 price premium over the standard Diver SM300 (SM300 £5,500 vs NTTD £9,300 in the UK today). Unless you have a pretty big wrist the Milanese bracelet and clasp thickness is too stiff and uncomfortable.

To paraphrase the ( late , great) Robin Williams about another addiction , 'spending that much on a diver's watch is God telling you you're spending too much money on a diver's watch , especially if you're not a diver ( who wouldn't need it anyway)'.

I never move the bezel so send them to me please.

The bezel does break in.

First comment. Good video about omegas value for money back in the day

it's not a real dive watch and whats up with that huge wart at 10 o'clock

The poor bezel action and grip is the reason I won't get a Seamaster. I use a dive bezel all the time for timing things, with gloves on too. It's an essential function for me. If the watch had a good bezel action I would start saving up today.

Most of those straps need to GO! IMO they look like you got out of gumbo dispenser

Loved the movie????

I passed on this because it felt like buying a tidie shirt. It's cool for a moment but not timeless. That mustard color is not timeless. Yes it's freaking cool but not sure how I would like it 5yrs from now.

No Time to Die was by far and away the worst Bond movie ever made. This watch at $9600? Uh no thank you.besides being overpriced, it will remind you of that woke piece of crap last Bond movie.

This watch is simply far too high for an aluminum bezel.

Too many negatives with this watch. The unjustified premium and the fake military designations make this a clear pass and one for only the hard core bond fans.

Didn’t like this watch in person

I thought James Bond was a lady now?

I love my omegas, but they are uniformly cursed by shit bezels

Stop making childish pyramid hand gestures your not in Mossad or James Bond, wait are you working for the Majestic 9, don’t tell me, please don’t kill me.
