SUMMARY

Launched in the mid-1990s, the Omega Seamaster 300M (REF: 2531.80.00) gained iconic status after it replaced the Rolex Submariner on the wrist of British superspy, James Bond. The watch measures 41mm in diameter and is the last version of Omega’s highly respected diver to be fitted with a blue aluminium insert bezel; its successor was fitted with a ceramic version. Meanwhile, the laser-etched blue bezel and skeleton hands give this highly capable diving tool an elegance seldom found on equivalent sea-dwelling timepieces.
