The Rolex Submariner VS Omega Seamaster 300M - A Clash Of The Titans! 

Personal experience . I was in the market for a high grade watch long time ago , and the choice back then was a Rolex or a Omega . More specific a Omega PO and the Rolex you showed . In those days (2007) the Rolex was easy available and it was just a preference of choice , since the price was not that far apart either. I chose the PO ( if i remember correct 2209.50.00) Omega , and i did get over the years many many comments on how good it looked . This y i was on the market again , for several reasons , and i still like the Rolex , but those prices exploded , to a value which i cannot understand . I still got my daily Omega PO , and it has doubled in value but the Rolex has got at least 3 times value . Anyway , i went in the shop for a Moonwatch , and came home with the black 300M ( like you got in this vid) but with the steel strap . The Omega's are great watches and the Rolex's are also , but the value of Rolex is imho overstretched . Sure they got a good watch , everything in it . But the value vs a Omega , naah i don't see it . Everybody got their choice , i'd love to own a Rolex Batman 1 day , but not in current day values .

I'm wearing the black dial Omega SMP on bracelet. The dial on the Omega is what stands out to me as a clear advantage. When the SMP is in the sun the dial goes from black to an almost white color to a silver mirror depending on how the light hits. Along with the fact you can buy one at or below msrp makes it no contest and I believe the movement in the Omega has a slight edge as well.

Can't beat Omega ✅️

I'm wearing the 2021 no date sub but I am equally in love with the Seamaster. You won't regret choosing one over the other but I suspect many will eventually spring for both (I know I will)

For me the Omega will win all the way. I just haven’t got the time, the money and the available life span to buy the Rolex, plus I cannot stand that bubble over the date. Omega wins hands down!

I got the black omega sm300 for my birthday and love it ,although it’s a close call with the submariner the wave dial on the omega wins it for me and when you take the price into account it’s a no contest Omega all day long 👍

I own the 41mm Sub TT LN, wonderful watch it’s actually 12.4mm thick and case measures at 40.5mm. Love how far Seamasters have come it’s such an amazing fun watch! Omega should update the bracelet and put the 3 link speedy bracelet as well as fix the bezel imo. The watch is superb on rubber and for the price it’s untouchable! Really fun review! Truly enjoyed it and great work in your channel mate!

I am lucky enough to own both watches. Both of them I have owned for about 20 years. Both were bought at AD’s at the price back then. I think the Omega was £1050 & the Rolex was £2350. I have used both watches equally & can say honestly that that Omega is twice the watch the Rolex is.

For a long time not considering the price, the Rolex sub was a much better watch (style, movement, build). However with the current Omega diver models they have overtaken the Rolex - open caseback with some decoration - better movement (newer, co axial, more certs) - better lume If it wasn’t for investment most would want a Omega over the Rolex

I bought a Seamaster 300M in late 2020. I had wanted it for 25 years. I was offered a Sub from an AD last year after the guy who ordered it decided not to get it. I had never requested it nor showed interest in it so I politely declined. Also, let's not forget. The Omega is half the price of Rolex at MSRP and almost 1/4th the price of a Rolex at pre-owned prices.

That omega with rubber strap looks amazing

I own a Seamaster white dial and did own a Rolex 124060 from 2022...sold the Sub because I didn't see the appeal of owning both of them. The Oyster bracelet is wonderful, but the Seamaster is equally as comfortable on the bracelet. As someone who's owned both of them, just buy a Seamaster on the bracelet and save the difference you'd have to spend for a Sub (4.5k above the Seamaster for the "No Date" at retail in addition to the waiting list).

The Omega is a better watch. Hands down

I have both. Its a toss up. I like the weight of the Omega slightly better. But on any given day, either one I enjoy more. Great review BTW. Nice video!!!

I own both Rolex Seadweller and the Omega blue ceramic, love both 💙

100% Seamaster for me - the Sub might as well be made of hens teeth for how likely it is to actually see one you can buy. It might as well be fictitious for how unobtainable it is - take into account the 3x the cost between the watches it’s a no brainier. I can (and have) bought the SMP 300m in this vid because I could get hold of one. Rolex is now just the domain of those who are prepared to pay well over retail, and flippers that sell them, sadly.

I own a blue dial seamaster 300m and wearing it now on a brown leather strap that i chabhed out from a blue nato this morning. If I had to choose as iconic as the rolex is I'd pick the seamaster mainly because of the dial in design its more appealing to me i also prefer the bezelstyle. I prefer the bracelet on the rolex compared to the seamaster however I do prefer nato and rubber straps over bracelet. I say all this but if it was the hulk rolex all this goes out the window and I'm choosing that.

Every collection needs to have both, even if it's only a 2-watch collection.

I have the white dial seamaster. I was tempted by the black dial too. When you realise that you can have BOTH for the price of one submariner, it's a no brainer. Plus for me the seamaster is the better watch anyway

I have a Sub and a Seamaster Planet Ocean. Both are amazing. The beauty of the Rolex is that it can be worn on any occasion, from super formal to super casual. The Seamaster is more on the casual side. The sub is 3x the price of the Seamaster. It doesn't really make sense, but it is what it is. Recently I bought a Longines Hydroconquest, which is 3x cheaper than the Seamaster, and hence 9x cheaper than the Sub. And it's wonderful too. So you have a good choice for excellent diving watches at very different price points (well, you can't currently get a new Sub, but that's a different story).

It's Rolex for me...however with that said: 1)I had to get my Submariner serviced three times in order for it to run as expected. But, never had any issues with my 300m or my 2 planet oceans. 2)I traded my 300m because I fell out of love with its impractical bezel design. It's not the grippiest. 3)I got bored with my planet oceans, although I loved the coin-edge bezels. 4)I also love the iconic cyclops and its 2.5 magnification practicality. The rolex oyster bracelet is the best looking in the business in my opinion.

Think I'll have { Omega & Zenith } for the Price of The ROLEX "... Personal Preference goes a Long Way

For me- I’d consider the omega if they addresses the following 1) 40mm 2) go back to the flat dial - remove waves 3) lose the pointless helium escape nipple 4) offer a no date version This to me would be a true competitor to the sub in my mind & would easily win a sub fan like myself over

I have both and disagree on two stand out points. The omegas bezel borders on unusable, way too stiff and minimal grip. The Rolex one is just perfect sound and feel. The omegas lume is also garbage. I just can’t read it at all at night unless it’s just been chucked under a lamp or something. The Rolex I don’t have to charge it anything special and it just works and is usable after dark.

I just bought a planet ocean black + 3/4 orange bezel with the black/orange rubber strap, love it. I might want a rolex later, but not as a daily watch, which is why i love my omega so much .

On my wrist today is the stowa Flieger Klassik 40 🙂

The Omega with the rubber wristband looks so sharp for a more casual look.

Wearing an oldie but a goodie..... Tissot Le Locle Chronograph with 7750 movement white dial with crocodile strap.

I think the Rolex is the better watch. But as a watch there is no way it is worthed 4x the Omega. If it was given to me I’d pick the Sub any time. If I was to buy one, no doubt I’d go for the Omega and be thrilled about it.

Great video. I own the 126610 and bought a RubberB bracelet that fits the glide buckle. Becomes 2 watches, 2 feels.

Owned a 2019 Omega 300M. Sold it and now own the 2020 Sub No Date. Omega was a really accurate watch. Entirely too big and thick, wave dial became a bit elementary. Helium escape valve wasn’t appealing over time. Everyone has a different opinion, but the Sub is the perfect watch for me. If you have the means, get what you want.

Very good review, good communication and video shots. I love both watches, but there are a couple things that make the Omega the better choice for me. 1. The second hand tip on the Submariner is a clear metal which makes it harder to see vs the red tip of the Omega. I can find the tip of the hand faster and can follow it better especially in bright light outside. I also like the color of the red tip as it enhances the watches look 2. The minute hand on the Rolex is a clear metal color again which is harder to see in bright light. The white tip on the Omega makes it easier to see. 3. I like the bezel on the Omega has the markers all the way around while the Rolex stops at 15. It looks odd that the markers on the bezel stop on the Rolex though it does give it a cleaner look. Most sport watches however have the markers all the way around the down which makes it more symmetrical. 4. You can just about buy 2 Omega Seamaster's for the price of one Rolex Submariner. 5. Purchasing a Rolex has a very long waiting period of a year or more while the Omega is available in their stores. 6. I love being able to see the movement on the back of the Omega which you can't do with the Rolex.

Had 2 Seamaster 300 Pros. As well as 16610 Sub date, 16600 Sea Dweller, 114060 Sub, 126600 Red Sea Dweller. All purchased from my AD. Sold the Omegas, never cared for the mid-90s styling, perhaps this retro look will one day be big like 70s integrated bracelets are big today. Rolex all the way.

good video.. watch on my wrist this morning is my Omega 300 Seamaster Bronze Gold, my 1980’s Seadweller sits in the safe as while it was worn everyday for years, too obvious now…lovin’ the omega

Omega Seamaster 300M blue dial blue strap sedna gold is gorgeous

I own the omega mainly because I can afford it but honestly if given the option between the two and value being the same I think omega is still the one I’d get. My only regret is choosing the black dial over the white dial.

both excellent choice but for me OMEGA more classic more sporty more cheaper not to say i cant afford a rolex but OMEGA is made more under pressure i asked 3 master-watch repair guys and they say rolex good but very fragile delicate and expensive to clean they said OMEGA last longer and is more accurate and in technology is far ahead of rolex. so now i have all gold seamaster300m from last year and a black with gold planet ocean from 2022 i use the both everyday and samsung watch wen i workout. but OMEGA is an eternal brand that doesent need no crowns.

Both are top quality. It comes down to personal preferences. Buy what you like.

Why is the sub £16000? Subs are around $9000 usd if I’m not mistaken that should mean the sub is around £7-8000 when considering currency difference. Unless I got my currency’s mixed up. But then again the omega is priced right I’m sure someone more knowledgeable than me can answer this.

After having both I have one on my wrist full time! I’m very hard on my watches and only one brand holds up to me I’ve sent back three Rolexs’ And not one sea master I will say that all suffer from from tuning it doesn’t vary much between the two however I tend to gain or lose 5 minutes a month on the 6 that I have. That said I’m a real fan of Omega they hold up to abuse that I deal out Great channel and I’m an American Campbell Clan boy lol

I bought a sub with date (40mm) in 2016 and then a omega 300 diver in 2021 (silver dial, blue bazel, rubber strap), both are super comfortable and great to wear, however with the non-availability of the former, Omega is a fantastic choice , personally I cannot choose one over the other.....both are just as good....just that Rolex is just not available!

I got my self a Rolex Datejust with the Rhodium Diamond Dial. One year later I picked up the Omega SMP 300M with the black dial on a bracelet with a spare rubber strap. I have to say that I love both watches but there is something special with the Omega. Next watch (in view years) will be the new Speedy with the white dial

Omega for SURE man.. so much prettier and for what? Less money and available ? Let’s stop wanting Rolex just cuz it’s hard to get. If we were to like it just for what it is (build and design) the Omega will win always

1. Sub is a superior watch (BUT it’s double the price! So idk if it’s a fair comparison) 2. Sub is really hard to get at retail and probably not worth the cost at the gray market price. 3. Omega is better value for money (terrific watch at a lower price) especially if you plan on keeping your watch. 4. If you really want a Rolex Omega will NOT scratch that itch no matter how it’s dressed up.

I think the sub it’s an excellent watch and looks amazing, it’s iconic and recognizable, however I do prefer the design of the Seamaster, more modern, cooler dial, and the movement… That movement is hard to beat. Cheers.

I own both, vintage (now) SMP 2265 quartz omega with electric blue wave dial, an incredible watch and recently the Sub 124060, a deep black stallion stare into the abyss beauty, both are god tier.

I have both well the previous submariner, and the seamaster with the white dial and rubber strap love them both

mega > o-mega, not omeega

Both are amazing watches, and both have things they do better than the other. After several years I've come to the conclusion that the Seamaster is definitely the better looking watch. It may be the perfect desk diver. It works great at the surface, but not so much underwater. For a SCUBA diver the Rolex trounces the Omega. It's by far the more functional dive watch. While I love the two color lume on the Seamaster, the green (which is the most important lume on the watch) fades too fast. That pip is extremely important for its dive timing functionality, so the bigger brighter one on the Submariner is the clear winner. The bezel is easier to use underwater, and the smaller profile means it's less likely to catch when you're donning and doffing your BCD.

Power reserve- Rolex Inside only AR coating- Rolex Accuracy- Rolex Thickness- Rolex White gold indices/hands- Rolex Bracelet- Rolex Platinum inserted bazel - Rolex Design (no popping HE) - Rolex Value - Rolex Versatility - Rolex Iconic- Rolex Price retains- Rolex Built quality - Rolex Bazel rotation- Rolex Glidelock - Rolex On radar - Rolex Size - Rolex First Bond Watch- Rolex Majority hunting- Rolex Transparent back - Omega Availability- Omega

Why do people think they have to choose?I have small collection 6 pieces 3 Rolex and 3 Omega have went up the horology tree and down but always comes back to them.Rolex SD 4000,GMT MASTER II Batman,Datejust 41 Fluted Blue dial,Omega 300m White dial,Omega 300 Black dial and Speedmaster Moonwatch.I love each one best of both worlds.Paid a lot more for the Rollies but don't enjoy them anymore than my Omega's.You have to own at least one Rolex thow to scratch that itch lol.

It doesnt really matter in the end. You cant buy a Rolex without waiting 2 years and Omega shelves are full. Just get the Omega and forgot the Rolex.

Harrison, I really enjoy these VS matchups, been watching your videos for quite awhile now, well done... My favourite Breguet right now would be the MARINE HORA MUNDI, the dial is just magnificent, and I like the fact taht you can get it in bracelet, rubber or leather for different seasons around the year. Cheers and thanks for the Hat :) As for the two Titans, Omega has always been the better watch, Rolex has always been the better brand in terms of recognition (In other words More marketing). Omega all the way.

If I’m shopping, I’m taking the Omega without a doubt. If someone else is buying, I’ll take the Rolex, sell it, and get two Omegas 🙌🏽

The Rolex wins for me but I own a white dial omega and my entire collection is less than the Rolex. So for me from an all round perspective the omega wins. I'm also a lot more comfortable with wearing my omega than I would a Rolex at 3 times the price.

My preference is the Submariner - the thinner case and bracelet trumps the 300M. Lucky my AD allocated me the Submariner 124060 in Oct 2021 after a 4 month wait. Then 3 weeks later, I was also offered a Tudor Pelagos FXD. Now I rotate between the 2 brilliant watches as my daily watches.

The Omega dial is perfect, beautiful and stylish, but the rest of the watch I find it hedious. It looks like a 90s vibe that hasn't aged well. The Sub is a classic timeless piece, well proportionate, beautiful all around. If Omega update everything but the dial I think they will have a fabulous watch and I'll buy it in a second.

Omegas value can’t be beat.

Another quality video which certainly answers a lot of questions! I’m in the same dilemma since I’ve had previous incarnations of both models and ten years ago I would have automatically said Rolex was the better watch. Today I’m not so sure anymore! 😩

The videography is always really good on your videos and I really love it, but comparing these two right now is just not the right time. One is grossly overpriced and the other is fairly priced .No matter which one is better it’s kind of hard to compare them when the price difference is so high.

Let's gooo team omega! Breguet Marie Antoinette is the coolest watch made by the company.

I have the Omega as my daily and tried on the Sub at AD in the weekend. I still want the Rolex too, it fits really well, even in the new 41mm version. I'll be selling my BB58 when it's my turn.....

I think that the omega is the winner. Don´t get me wrong, the Rolex is fantastic, but If I go for a Rolex I would prefer a GMT master, in regards to divers...... Breitling Superocean 42, the build quality is superb, I own all three. First place Omega and then the Breathing and last the submariner no date. In regards to dial..... the omega all the way the laser etching is superb.

I own the world is not enough 300 seamaster and I absolutely love it , rolex has a chav image these days , I’m getting the seamaster acqua terra next like Jamie dornan wore on the boat in 50 shades

I own a Seamaster because it was the best for my budget and i do indeed love it. But if i'm to be really honest, i would rather own the Rolex. West Ham v Rangers Euro Final???

It would be the Omega for me, like you I have always loved the Rolex but is out of my price range, that’s not to say I don’t love Omega, I have just purchased a brand new model of the Omega Speedmaster and I love it,great comparison of the Rolex & Omega, have subscribed today and look forward to your next video. 👍

the one you can by tomorrow is the winner

I watch a lot of comparison between Rolex and omega. But none of those mention when date change at midnight, if any one can do that comparison, you will see the beauty of Rolex mechanical work.

Congratulações! Bom vídeo!

Can you please do a video of your omega seamaster vs a Tudor black bay 58? These are the two watches I’m currently wanting to purchase but I’m indecisive. 🤷‍♂️

i not long brought an omega seamaster 300m in blue i love it

From a watch perspective omega have it, from a resale value however, Rolex maintain's it's resale value which often makes it more desirable. If Omega never discounted, in time... it would close the gap.

Omega all the way. Just bought the No Time to Die and its awesome.

Did you get your hands on the ceramic all black seamaster yet? 😜

If I wanted a black dial dive watch, I'll choose the submariner- Unfortunately I want a green dial dive watch, and Rolex green is heinous. Fortunately, omegas new seamaster diver 300m release fits the bill perfectly.

Amazing content and your opinion seems very honest! Keep it like this❤️

The one you can actually buy wins by default

Picked up my 124060 on the day you posted this video. Love watching these comparisons. Good revues. BTW, what bracelet are you wearing on your right wrist?

Love the Bark and Jack (Adrian Barker) style staccato presentation! 😝

Omega

Great video!

Throw away those calipers. Those measurements are wrong. The Submariner lug-to-lug is about 47mm. I have both of those watches. I got the Submariner and the blue dial SMP. I love both, but I like the Submariner better.

5:07 “it’s very durable” Can you cite a source corroborating that statement as I’ve had several Seamasters suffer from malfunctioning bezels? I realize that my experiences are rather anecdotal, but it’s happened to more than one watch and I’m not particularly hard on my my timepieces. My issue may be du to less than regular servicing but they should consider using a new grease if there’s gunks up in such a short period of time.

It's more sense to choose omega seamaster.

I own both and I love them, I would say Omega is more sporty with modern styling while a sub is more refined and can be a one watch for all occasions

You be interested in doing an old vs new omega seamaster 300m diver review...I have the original black wave dial and the new white same as yours?

Me again, my second favourite is the previous generation type xx, 39mm in white gold, blue dial.

I have both watches. I LOVE the OMEGA ❤

I love omega but the submariner is just too iconic.

Great video but you cannot be arrogant about these 2 watches . I have a Omega Seamaster. But Seiko make great watches ⌚️ especially Grand Seiko's New titanium spring drive with 5 days power reserve being released

IMO Rolex wins in almost every aspect of this comparison but one - real life wearability. I feel that the brand has now become so synonymous with wealth that wearing a sub daily is likely to put a big target on my back. At least with an Omega you have the freedom to enjoy it on the wrist anywhere, anytime…

Good review! Just a little comment on the production of the video. The recording of the sound… at times, it is loud and sharp echo sound and then at times it sounds like a studio sound. Preferable to hear studio sound throughout. Once again, great review!

Great watches I owned both in the past the sub wears more comfortable , If I had to choose I would go for the sub

Great video Harrison , whilst the Rolex Submariner is undoubtedly an outstanding watch, I personally feel this omega is definitely the sub killer, I’ve a Rolex sea dweller 4000 which is 31 years old and it’s still outstanding to this day, but the omega is a step for me personally above Rolex. I’ve the white version on a red rubber Zealande strap and it’s forever getting compliments Omega wins.

The Omega is the better watch hands down.

I like both watches, but on the Omega I dont like the left crown, sure wave dial is nice. I dream of Rolex since I was young watching bond movies so that is my prefered option.

I have the sub. I love it. Classic looks, but I think the Omega looks great with the red. I went for the Sub for the understated look it has. As an investment it is a good buy. I wear it primarily for work. In meetings I occasionally get a nod and it is instantly recognisable. Both watches look great in a business suit or jeans. Some top brands are either or sometimes. It’s very much personal taste at this great level. But Omega kills it for the price which is surprisingly good value for what you get. Unfortunately the scarcity of the Sub has made the price ridiculous. Perhaps that’s the idea Rolex? The thing I love the Sub for is the speedy adjustable bracelet which gives a perfect fit and easily changed in hot weather when your wrists can swell slightly. Great review. New sub.

I love the Omega for how authentic and unique it is. The Rolex is probably going to last longer aesthetically but this Omega is going 30 years strong now and Omega’s are starting to become collectors in the vintage world now. I think these Seamaster’s will become vintage collectors as well. I have a Seamaster Diver and love it, but I’m a bracelet guy and they really should either taper it or change the design. Just on the bracelet. I think it’s coming too, they have a changed the bracelet on a lot of their popular watches lately and I think this SMP diver is next.. I wouldn’t change anything else besides maybe case size

I have both. The Omega is a better looking and more comfortable watch.

I have a rubber strap blue Omega and for the price Its just better
