The Omega Seamaster 007 Edition, reference 210.92.42.20.01.001, distinguishes itself within the Seamaster Diver 300M collection through its specific aesthetic and material choices. This particular reference offers a distinct interpretation of the Seamaster Diver 300M, setting it apart from standard production models with its unique dial and bezel execution, and the use of lightweight titanium for both the case and bracelet. It represents a focused design within the broader Seamaster lineage.
This edition features a 42mm case crafted from grade 2 titanium, paired with a domed sapphire crystal that enhances its vintage-inspired appearance. The watch is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, an automatic movement certified to meet the industry's highest standards of precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance. It offers a power reserve of 55 hours and is water-resistant to 300 meters.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Seamaster Diver 300M with a specific material and color palette. Its cohesive design, from the tropical brown dial to the titanium mesh bracelet, creates a unified presentation. The absence of a date complication further contributes to its clean and symmetrical dial layout, a detail often appreciated by enthusiasts.
Thanks for the great series of pictures. Did you have any favourites from the watches you tried? Did you get to see the new IWC Portuguese perpetual calendars? They have piqued my interest. All the best, Jon
My favorites are the 1815 Up/Down, the CdV 1955, and the Reverso Tribute Chronograph, which is borderline almost too long for my wrist. It’s also quite thick. I love that Laureato Chrono as well. But it wears large due to the manner in which the lugs flare out. Eventually, I will add the white dial Speedy. They did have the IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendars in the display case. I remember seeing the Dune color. But I was laser-focused on seeing the new Portugieser Automatics. Cheers, Jon!🥂
I never realized the touches of red and the sky blue color on the dial. They’re very subtle, but work quite remarkably well! The 1815 Up/Down has been a dream for too long. I may have to address this! Merci, mon ami!🥂
