Orange has for a very long time been as a key color for diving watches, and Omega has now introduced touches of this extremely seen color to the Seamaster Diver 300M. The model has been on a little bit of a run during the last 12 months, bringing a brand new appear and feel to the Diver 300M line. Whether or not they’re giving us a luxe, full Bronze Gold and burgundy mannequin; mixing Bronze Gold, titanium and inexperienced in a really No Time to Die kind of means; or shifting the narrative with monochromatism and Milanese bracelets, the brand new search for this line has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. This new, date window-less aesthetic has been continued with Omega’s newest launch, the Seamaster Diver 300M Orange, a watch that feels good for this sweltering European summer season.

Whereas the phrase orange within the product identify would possibly recommend a extra drastic use of the color right here, Omega has determined to make use of the brilliant shade quite tactically. Highlights of orange have been added as a varnish to the centrally mounted seconds hand, the 4 cardinal utilized hour markers, and the Seamaster logomark that has been stamped on the dial.

The remainder of this watch may be very a lot as you’d count on from this new-look Diver 300M.

Omega hasn’t thrown the newborn out with the bathwater.

Inside we now have the trusted Omega calibre 8806, a METAS-certified chronometer motion outfitted with the legendary Co-Axial escapement. This calibre has a 55-hour energy reserve and might stand up to 15,000 Gauss of magnetic drive, a powerful feat that makes it robust sufficient for anybody to put on every day, particularly if you pair that with its namesake 300 metres of water resistance. Measuring 42mm throughout and 13.8mm thick, it’s not the smallest watch on the earth, however that hasn’t stopped it from being one of the crucial revered divers available on the market – and we expect this summery colourway will solely heighten its already broad attraction.
