Black Black Seamaster
I realize everyone has an opinion about all-black or "blacked out" watches, but I miss my Hublot Ice Bang purchased in 2007 and sold several years later to make room for another watch. I've never owned an Omega and was clamoring for a different black watch that was within budget and went beyond my G-Shocks. I owned a Sinn U212 and enjoyed it, but this Omega does things with material science that was unthinkable in 2007 and most others couldn't offer at this price today. The ceramic finishing is incredible. The unique and robust movement was another plus.
All in all, I'm really happy with my new watch. It's surprisingly legible as Omega notes, but there are a few foibles. The lume could be stronger, but it's not a dealbreaker to me and I wish the width of the rubber strap was 22mm, not 21mm. Beyond that, I have no complaints. The rubber strap is actually the nicest one I've owned and feels both stronger and softer than Hublot's.

Hello Docfink!! Beautiful watch! I like its stealthy looks so much!
I’ve never considered to get a ceramic case watch till I viewed this new version of Seamaster and I now feel this will be my first ceramic case watch. Very interesting and good looking timepiece. You say this is your first experience with Omega and I’m su...
Congratulations!
You would be correct in how omega pushed the envelope (back then) on material science. Ceramic dials. Ceramic cases with different finishing. Etc etc. It’s no secret that I’m a huge omega fan. In spite of having a Sinn U50S (all black PVD), I’m pining aft...
Beautiful piece
It is the first time I’ve seen the lume on this beauty. Thanks for the review.

So I’m just going to say it (IMO of course) Omega is the king of Ceramic…their ability to texture it is amazing…I own the GSOTM as well. I think (the lume on my DSOTM is minimal as well) they make a point about the lume in all black models. Enjoy my frien...
Great photos of this piece... Would love to this in the metal now..
Huge Seamaster fan and still have to add a 300M and a 300; this could be a contender!! Thanks for sharing. -D-
