This 43.5mm black-on-black design features a matching black rubber strap. The Seamaster Diver 300M is a classic dive watch for professionals and has been the James Bond watch for over 25 years. It is powered by the OMEGA Calibre 8800 movement, known for its industry-leading precision. ICONIC DIVING TIMEPIECE: The famous Seamaster Diver 300M was originally released in 1993. It was one of the first OMEGA timepieces to feature the ‘Professional’ inscription on the dial and gained renown for being chosen by the James Bond franchise due to its military heritage, dry martini elegance, and action-packed durability. Maintaining OMEGA's long ocean heritage, the modern Seamaster Diver 300M collection is updated with cutting-edge technology, resulting in a luxury watch with industry-leading accuracy, timeless design, and modern materials. UNIQUE DESIGN: This black ceramic, 43.5 mm model features a black-on-black design. The case, bezel, wave-pattern dial, crown, and new helium escape valve are all made from the same striking material, giving the watch a very distinctive, sculptural look. Visibility in challenging conditions is vital for a professional dive watch. To ensure this while maintaining the unique aesthetic, OMEGA has introduced anthracite Super-Lumi Nova to the diving scale, black PVD indexes, skeleton hands, and the 12H dot. The watch is paired with an integrated, textured, black rubber strap with a black ceramic buckle. It is powered by OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 movement, officially certified by METAS to withstand magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. The black ceramic wave-edged caseback houses a sapphire crystal for a clear view of this incredible movement.

Its key benefit is its robust construction, exceptional accuracy, and iconic design, making it a reliable companion in challenging environments.
