Explore the Icon at W. Kodak Jewelers
For over 25 years, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M has been one of the most iconic timepieces in the world of diving watches—and for good reason. Fusing Swiss precision with sleek, modern design, the Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 42mm (Ref. 210.30.42.20.01.001) offers more than just underwater reliability—it delivers timeless style, heritage, and innovation.
At W. Kodak Jewelers, we proudly offer this standout timepiece, a symbol of bold adventure and uncompromising craftsmanship. Let’s take a closer look at why this Seamaster continues to make waves.
Legendary Design with a Modern Edge
First introduced in 1993, the Seamaster Diver 300M was Omega’s answer to professional divers and design aficionados alike. The current 42mm version enhances that original design with clean, modern lines while staying true to its roots.
Crafted from stainless steel, the case exudes durability without sacrificing elegance. Its size—42mm—is the perfect middle ground for a commanding wrist presence without overwhelming the wearer. This reference features a polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet and case, which adds subtle depth and dimension as it catches the light.
The black ceramic bezel is not only visually striking but also engineered for functionality, featuring a white enamel diving scale that ensures high resistance to fading. Turn the unidirectional bezel counterclockwise, and you’ll feel the precision with every click—built for reliability under pressure.
A Dial Made to Impress
Omega’s signature laser-engraved wave pattern makes a stunning return on the glossy black ceramic dial. The pattern isn’t just decorative—it nods to the Seamaster’s maritime heritage and sets it apart from more minimalist competitors.
The skeletonized hands and raised hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova, glowing blue and green respectively in the dark, enhancing legibility at all depths. A discreet date window at 6 o’clock blends seamlessly into the dial layout, keeping the aesthetic clean while adding everyday functionality.
The sapphire crystal is domed and anti-reflective on both sides, making it easy to read in full sunlight, under the ocean surface, or anywhere your travels take you.
What’s Inside: The Master Chronometer Calibre 8800
The beating heart of this Seamaster Diver 300M is Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800, certified by METAS for both accuracy and magnetic resistance. This movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss—a critical feature in today’s digital world where electronic interference is everywhere.
The 8800 movement boasts a 55-hour power reserve, meaning it will keep ticking through the weekend without needing to be reset. It’s visible through the transparent caseback, offering a view of Omega’s signature Geneva waves in arabesque—a nod to the brand’s meticulous attention to both mechanics and aesthetics.
Built for Adventure
With a water resistance of 300 meters (1,000 feet), this timepiece is ready to go from boardroom to beach without missing a beat. The helium escape valve, a key feature for professional divers performing saturation dives, is thoughtfully designed in a conical shape—both functional and beautiful.
The screw-down crown ensures the watch remains sealed against moisture and debris, while the ceramic bezel’s scratch-resistant properties make it a reliable partner for years to come.
The Omega Legacy: Worn by Icons
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M has long been associated with one of the world’s most iconic secret agents—James Bond. Since 1995’s GoldenEye, the Seamaster has adorned 007’s wrist, chosen for its rugged sophistication and advanced technology. Though this specific model is not a limited-edition Bond version, it carries the same DNA that links it to a cinematic legacy of danger, elegance, and style.
