Master Chronometer Co-Axial Movement
Possibly the most impressive feature of the Omega Seamaster 300m 210.32.42.20.04.001 is the master chronometer co-axial Omega Calibre 8800. The co-axial escapement is ground break technology in the watch world. This breakthrough almost eliminates the need for lubrication and increases the longevity of the movement.
On top of that the Omega Calibre 8800 for reference 210.30.42.20.01.001 is extremely durable due to it’s “Master Chronometer” status. Essentially the 8800 movement provides superior accuracy in the most rugged environments. To pass the master chronometer certification, a movement must pass accuracy tests in extreme temperature conditions and magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.
Ceramic Dials & Bezels
There are many variations to the 300m collection. Reference 210.30.42.20.01.001 features either a white, black, silver, or blue ceramic bezel and dial combination. Ceramic bezels aren’t new and in today’s world mostly expected for a dive watch. What’s not expected is a ceramic dial. Omega has executed this perfectly and has gone even further by adding a laser etched wave pattern. The combination makes the white, black, blue, or silver dial on the 210.30.42.20.01.001 one of the best.
Seamaster 300m Stainless Steel Bracelet
A stainless steel bracelet is included with the Omega Seamaster 300m 210.30.42.20.01.001. The stainless steel bracelet is considered to be very comfortable. There are multiple Omega manufactured bracelet options as well. The 4 choices are a silicone strap, metal bracelet, leather straps, and nato straps. If the reference you purchased doesn’t come with the exact bracelet you desire, Omega can provide an additional one for an extra cost. Personally, our favorite is the metal bracelet because it has the class style to it and has a well built quick release extension.
