Standard edition models in stainless steel are even more affordable. Prices for an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M range from about 1,400 USD for a pre-owned watch with a quartz movement to more than 50,000 USD for special or especially rare editions.

Most calibers are also certified Master Chronometers, meaning they can resist magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss.Īll these features caught the attention of none other than James Bond, who first donned a quartz-powered Seamaster Professional 300M in 1995's "GoldenEye." A quarter of a century later, 007 was still wearing a 300M in the film "No Time to Die" – this time with a Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement and titanium case. These movements are not only chronometer-certified, but also have been equipped with Omega's co-axial escapement since 2006. However, Omega only uses mechanical calibers for more recent models. In the beginning, this professional diving watch was available with a quartz or automatic movement. A few models even come in cases of platinum or tantalum, a rare, highly corrosion-resistant metal with a graphite-gray color. Titanium, ceramic, gold, and two-tone variants in gold and stainless steel are also available. Omega offers this timepiece in various sizes ranging from 28 to 44 mm, most of which normally come in stainless steel. The Diver 300M also brandishes sword-shaped skeleton hands. The wavy edge on the bezel is particularly striking, and the dial, which comes in black, white, gray, blue, or – as of 2022 – olive green, features a distinctive wave pattern on most editions. In contrast to the Seamaster 300, the Diver 300M has a date display and a notably more modern design. Just like its famous sibling, the Seamaster 300, the Diver 300M is water-resistant to 300 m (30 bar, 984 ft). Both models were the first-ever Omegas to feature a helium escape valve and, thus, be suitable for saturation diving. It came shortly after Omega had launched this watch alongside a chronograph edition. In 1993, Frenchman Roland Specker set a new freediving world record of 80 m (262 ft) with the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M on his wrist.
