Since its debut in 1993, the OMEGA (omegawatches.com) Seamaster Diver 300M has been a cornerstone of the brand’s watchmaking legacy, celebrated for its blend of performance, durability, and timeless design. Now, in 2025, OMEGA adds a new chapter to this storied collection by introducing two models crafted in Bronze Gold—a material that nods to the past while embracing the future of high-performance watchmaking. Bronze is experiencing a surprising resurgence in the watch world, with its warm, vintage aesthetic appealing to collectors who appreciate character and patina. However, traditional bronze cases, prone to green oxidation, come with maintenance challenges. OMEGA’s proprietary Bronze Gold alloy solves this issue, offering superior corrosion resistance while developing a more refined, long-lasting patina. The alloy is composed of 37.5% gold, palladium, and silver, giving it a distinctive tone that will age gracefully over time. Inspired by the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition from No Time to Die, these new models incorporate familiar design cues, such as a fantastic mesh bracelet, an oxalic anodized aluminum bezel ring and dial, and a domed sapphire crystal. The 42 mm case in Bronze Gold is paired with a gorgeous deep burgundy anodized aluminum bezel featuring a vintage Super-LumiNova diving scale for enhanced readability. The matte black sandblasted aluminum dial is accented by PVD 18K Bronze Gold hands and blackened indexes, also filled with vintage Super-LumiNova. The OMEGA logo and other dial details are finished in light brown, lending a subtle warmth to the overall design. Two strap options are available: a brushed Bronze Gold mesh bracelet with a foldover clasp or an integrated black rubber strap with a Bronze Gold buckle. Powering both models is the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, a movement certified to METAS standards for precision, performance, and magnetic resistance.
With this launch, OMEGA not only reinforces the Seamaster Diver 300M’s legacy but also signals bronze’s return as a material of choice for modern collectors—blending vintage allure with cutting-edge innovation.
