Are you a modern Bond? Omega Seamaster 300

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-00:56

Are you a modern James Bond? I say modern because we all know in the earlier movies Bond wears something else.... These days, Mr Bond wears the Omega Seamaster 300. The classic lines from the 1990s, early 2000 are there, but in a modern version. I like it...

I could see it in the metal last week, and I was not much impressed. I must be an old Bond. But I saw some watches from the current collection which really impressed me... 2, to be precise. [nt]

The inevitable question:

By: agyzace : October 23rd, 2018-05:18

Which ones? Could I dare speculate the Railmaster 60th Anniv. makes part of them two? I am super keen to know which ones these two are. All the best my friend, Alex

Not even! You will see! [nt]

By: amanico : October 23rd, 2018-08:42

Please tell!!!

By: agyzace : October 23rd, 2018-10:09

Ok I will behave and wait for the write up 😊👍🏻

I was surprised as I didn't know these two... Very impressed. But I am learning when it comers to Omega. This is a brand I don't know very well. [nt]

By: amanico : October 23rd, 2018-10:12

So so curious...

By: agyzace : October 23rd, 2018-11:19

Can’t wait to learn new things as well!

End of this month or early November, promised. [nt]

By: amanico : October 23rd, 2018-11:58

Old Bond ... Why am I not surprised... [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:22

I like the color scheme a lot.

By: zabreg1 Mr White : October 23rd, 2018-01:19

The waves are cool. I guess I'm a new Bond, even though there is only one real Bond for me, and it is Connery. You will appreciate the vintage Bond, I'm sure.

Yes, Connery is the real Bond! ;)

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:23

But these new SM are very nice, I especially like the Blue/Rubber model. Best Blomman

So often “Original” is best ..,

By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2018-02:13

It’s an easy decision for me. Original Bond is best !

;) [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:23

You know it makes sense :)) [nt]

By: Cpt Scarlet : October 23rd, 2018-11:52

Yes [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-23:43

At least, my basement is not flooded ...

By: Marcus Hanke : October 23rd, 2018-02:28

... so I assume I am an old-fashioned Bond with good home insurance. Modern I am as wearer of the most recent "Bond" edition of the Seamaster 300, which was released with "old" non-METAS movement: Marcus ...

Very different from what we are used to see!

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:24

I like the colours here! Best Blomman

do you think the rubber will fit on the 2531.80?i hope so [nt]

By: Passionata_george : October 23rd, 2018-02:52

Not sure if they have the same width between the lugs... Let's hope! [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:26

Definitely a new Bond for me!

By: Greenwatch : October 23rd, 2018-03:41

I’m waiting this piece to appear at the OB and try it on. So nice and a winner in my book especially the blue wave dial.

Yes, the blue dial would be my choice as well! :) [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:26

I like the spectre

By: traineract : October 23rd, 2018-04:19

I'm a huge fan of the spectre movie. Sadly couldn't get it.

Possible to find one on the second hand market? [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:28

It's possible

By: traineract : October 24th, 2018-02:10

But I would have preferred to get it new as I will keep it

Then it's more tricky... [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 25th, 2018-12:30

Too much going on on the dial to be a classic beauty IMO. I do not like the perforated hands either. What a contrast to the 1957 edition! [nt]

By: anaesdoc : October 23rd, 2018-04:54

+1. The 1957 edition is a wonderful (for me, perfect!) watch:, no frills here! [nt]

By: massi. : October 23rd, 2018-05:07

Hard to compare the two....

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:32

One is a modern watch with a modern look... One is a modern watch with a vintage look... Even if same model name, they play in different categories! Best Blomman

You are absolutely in the right! What I personally don’t like is the waving pattern on the dial: in this case, I’m more close to the older version... [nt]

By: massi. : October 23rd, 2018-15:00

Thatbis why I prefer the blue dial of this new version [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-23:44

Classic beauty? No, that I agree on!

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-09:31

But I think it has a new fresh look which will hopefully give new life into the line! Classic old-school... Is hard to beat! Best Blomman ...

This is a monument. [nt]

By: massi. : October 23rd, 2018-14:55

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-23:44

Well

By: Seamaster2254 : October 23rd, 2018-10:28

.. i will keep my 2531.80

You should never let go of old loved once! [nt]

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 23rd, 2018-23:46

I'll be visiting our local Omega boutique next week . . .

By: Dr No : October 23rd, 2018-13:01

. . . for a Seamaster exposition. I'm sure there will be a few vintage models from the museum alongside the current collection. As for Bonds: actually, I'm a pre- Bond guy. [photo credit: Omega Forums] Sensible mid-size option (38 mm), no helium valve, co...

Tough question

By: Baron - Mr Red : October 25th, 2018-09:25

Take out the radiation issue, and it’s easy

I liked bicolor (steel/rose gold). Nice watch. I'm thinking about buying -- great tool watch.

By: Dmitriy : October 31st, 2018-04:02

...

Looks great on your wrist!

By: blomman Mr Blue : October 31st, 2018-04:10

Personally I am not a big fan of two tone cases, but this one looks great! Best Blomman

I’m an old fashioned Bond for that matter.

By: Arie - Mr Orange : November 1st, 2018-14:26

Connery & Moore for me. The Daniel Craig serie is too ‘seriously’ filmed imo. Bond needs a bit of self-mockery.

+1! :)
