Looks wise … the Seamaster 300, like so many modern dive watches, walks a fine line between dressy and functional. And while I liked the security of the bracelet, I was a little less keen on the non-standard 21mm width and the polished centre links. The weight goes a little way to mitigating the top-heaviness of the fairly tall 41mm case.
Also, this was the first time I’ve tried the Seamaster 300 on a bracelet, and I’ve got to say I quite liked the added bulk the bracelet adds. In fact, if it felt anything but bulletproof I’d be mildly disappointed.

For all its handsome good looks, don’t forget that this watch is a professional diver, with a truly exceptional modern movement and one of the best build qualities for the price. Especially on a watch as tough and action-oriented as this Seamaster. And while these marks all might impact the resale value and cause particular readers to wince in pain, I’m pretty into them. Buckles, one of the main points where your watch meets the world, quickly gain a unique, swirled and dented character all their own, and the watch behind tells a tale of the life it’s lived, like the big scratch on the bracelet where my buddy took a fall to prevent his kid taking one. The watches I review typically come in box-fresh condition, but that’s not what happens in the real world. Which is something I don’t get to see too much. My first impression was … jeez, he really wasn’t joking about not being precious - this watch is well-loved.

Several coffees and much amiable watch banter later, I walked off with the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial (to give it its full name) buckled onto my wrist.
“Don’t worry,” said my mate, “I’m not precious.” Somewhat comforted by these words, I made my way to a local cafe to complete the hand-off. Now, I’m typically hesitant to do this, as I would hate something to happen to the watch when it’s in my care. Now, unusually for me, this wasn’t a PR sample or anything, but an actual real watch, that I borrowed off a mate who wanted to try one of my watches on for size.
