This version of the Seamaster 300m has aesthetically refined an excellent tool watch. 
Take a look at the red used on the seconds hand it’s just the right shade. The bezel has an “industrial” finish that looks and feels purposeful. 

Good work Omega.

It also looks very cool on a rubber strap for the summer.

300M chrono too had a red/black edition back in 2013.

It is uncannily similar yes. I pulled back from the tantalum-titanium-gold version twice because the bezel construction seemed fishy. I still like it, but from afar. This is nice, I would buy it instantly if the case were also titanium, but they opted for steel for the case.
