I opted to review this reference 210.30.42.20.01.001"steel on steel" model using all the dark ceramic dial and bezel because in my estimation is represents the original, core appearance of the what the Seamaster 300M is to me personally. Originally released in 1993 if Jean-Claude Biver was Omega Seamaster Replica, the Seamaster 300M hunted for a competitive alternative to the Rolex Submariner... that didn't immediately look like a Rolex Submariner. About 25 decades later I think many people would agree that the hand set along with hour markers continues to assist the Seamaster 300M stand apart from the competition. The opinion also offers pricing on its own side when judged together with the Rolex Submariner. The retail cost of the specific steel Seamaster 300M is under $5,000 and approximately $3,500 less than the Rolex Submariner. With that said, rivalry from the luxury dive watch space is very fierce and consumers today spending $4,000 in a sports dive watch are mostly looking for prestige and status as opposed to usefulness and style. The newest Seamaster 300M now includes a new variant of the ceramic bezel as well as a ceramic dial, which is laser-engraved using the well-known wave motif; on this particular model, that's the fundamental steel variant with a rubber band, the numerals on the bezel are filled with white enamel. From a technical standpoint, there are of course significant advantages to ceramic as a material for the bezel of a diver's view -- that the substance will not fade and it's for all intents and purposes scratch-proof. Clearly not one of us worry about scratching our watch dials (if you do happen to do that you probably have other, bigger issues from a case-integrity standpoint) but the colorfastness of ceramic is certainly a plus for this application too. In all honesty, a Rolex Submariner might have done the trick as well, but in the time the gap in price was substantial (as it is now again actually ) and my heart was closer to Omega Seamaster Replica already at that time as well, on account of the family affair I have with the brand from Biel. About 3000 Dutch Guilders milder (being a student, which was worth an entire summer of work), I left the Omega dealer in 2000 with a new Seamaster 300M. It became my companion on several trips for the next few years. Sooner or later, I offered it, as I began to proceed with my collection and wanted the capital to make an additional purchase. Then, I bought one back a couple of decades later, simply to maintain it again for a particular period. You are able to elect for some fancy Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer watches right now with 18k Sedna or yellow gold accents and a ceramic and titanium model. The collection is guaranteed to be upgraded with more Omega Replica versions such as the popular ceramic Seamaster 300M watches of the past. As a late lover of their original Seamaster 300M watches I admire Omega's professional capability to remake their ancient 1990s brand success using a much better version of the first. What Omega didn't do yet was put the Seamaster 300M into today's generation of watch lover in terms of relevancy or place of differentiation. While the 1990s was not long ago, in a real sense that this is another"retro-refreshed" version by best omega seamaster replica. A lot of collectors desire that by the brand and we admire their tenacity in doing this. What Omega has to do is fill the emptiness they have which is"what is our diver's view of today?" Maybe that's just the World Sea, but with its higher-prices such a piece will not appeal to watch lovers who want a diving watch equivalent of the Speedmaster. |
