I think they’ve got right. What do you think? 

Here are my justifications:

1) Grade 5 (not Grade 2) titanium
2) Symmetry of dial (date is at 6 o’clock)
3) Sandwich dial indices
4) Proprietary rubber strap with micro-adjusters
5) High water resistance for a non-diver. 300m

About the Omega Ref. Diver300M

The Seamaster Diver 300M is a core offering within Omega's contemporary sports watch collection, recognized for its robust construction and technical specifications. This particular reference maintains the established design language of the Diver 300M series, characterized by its distinctive wave-patterned dial and helium escape valve, positioning it as a capable and recognizable diver's watch within the brand's extensive catalog. It represents a modern iteration that continues the line's design evolution.

This model features a stainless steel case, typically measuring 42 mm in diameter, which houses a self-winding mechanical movement. The movement, often a Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber, provides a substantial power reserve and is visible through a sapphire crystal case back. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides protects the dial, ensuring legibility in various conditions. The watch is engineered for significant water resistance, suitable for professional diving.

For collectors, the Seamaster Diver 300M appeals to those seeking a technically advanced and durable timepiece from a major Swiss manufacturer. Its availability in various dial colors, including black and steel, offers choices for different preferences. The consistent updates to its movement technology and material science ensure its relevance in the competitive landscape of luxury dive watches, making it a staple for both new and established collectors.

Interesting release from GP

Can we say this is some kind of "time only RO Offshore" cousin? I like it and the dial seems quite elaborate. Rubber strap makes sense and keeps price acceptable. Solid execution anyways! Anyways, size makes it too large for me - 44mm and 14.7mm height

Yes indeed I fully agree

My wrist is too small for a 44mm. If they did a 40-42mm it will be goldilocks size for smaller wristed chaps like me. Not to forget, with these rubber straps, they arch out a little, making a 44mm even larger to wear.

Yes 230 pieces each I’ve read

Should sell out quite quickly, due to the small numbers. Which colour do you prefer?

Black is timeless, the others are here today gone tomorrow.
