Another way to tell the Diver 300M and Seamaster 300 apart is the former’s date display. Its design is also much more modern. The bezel’s wavy edge, in particular, gives this timepiece a special appearance. Omega offers this watch in sizes ranging from 28 to 42 mm.
Which Omega watch holds the world record for freediving?
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. It came shortly after Omega had launched this watch alongside a chronograph edition. Both models were the first Omegas ever to feature a helium escape valve and, thus, qualify for saturation diving.
What is the Omega 1128 watch caliber?
Thanks to the automatic Omega caliber 1128, you can set the hour hand independently of the minute, second, and 24-hour hands. This is especially practical when traveling across time zones. Omega developed this movement based on the ETA 2892-A2. The 1128 has a 44-hour power reserve and is a certified chronometer.
What is the caliber of the Omega model 2628?
It uses Omega’s Co-Axial caliber 2628 – a modified version of Omega’s first movement with a Co-Axial escapement, the caliber 2500.
How many Diver 300m models are there?
In total, there are 17 new Diver 300M models, including 8 in stainless steel, 8 in a mix of stainless steel and gold – and a model in Sedna™ gold. Each model is presented on an integrated black or blue rubber strap, or a traditional metal bracelet (with a new ergonomic design and a patented extendable foldover rack-and-pusher with diver extension).
How can I tell if my Diver 300M is metas certified?
Turning the watch over reveals a wave-patterned edge on the caseback, as well as sapphire crystal, through which you can see the METAS-approved Master Chronometer Calibre. In total, there are 17 new Diver 300M models, including 8 in stainless steel, 8 in a mix of stainless steel and gold – and a model in Sedna™ gold.
What makes the Omega 300m watch so special?
Operated in a diving bell, one of the 300M’s most important details has always been its helium escape valve. For the new models, the valve has been given a conical shape and has been patented by OMEGA with an ingenious technology, meaning the watch remains water-resistant to 50m even if the valve is accidentally opened underwater.
