Description
In the 1990s Omega’s popularity with the Seamaster 300M in large part hard to do with the collection’s very accessible pricing. By today’s standards the Seamaster 300M feels expensive – even though Omega has really upped the value proposition in terms of materials as well as the excellent in-house made caliber 8800 automatic movement.
Starting with a Co-Axial escapement, the caliber 8800 is also (virtually) immune to the effects of environmental magnetism, features a reliable silicon balance spring, and boasts Omega’s impressive METAS Certification seal (which also include COSC Chronometer certification). Operating at 4Hz, the automatic movement has a power reserve of 55 hours and includes the time along with a date window complication. The result is an accurate, reliable, and very resilient mechanical movement – exactly what you’d want in a diver’s style timepiece.
On offer today is an example from 2019, and is in Excellent with full box and papers.
