hroughout the past 20 years, the colour orange has become a signature part of Omega’s dive watch designs, helping to improve visibility and safety underwater. The emblematic orange shade has added vibrancy and unique aesthetic appeal across multiple Seamaster collections, and this year, it is introduced into the iconic Diver 300M range, giving customers the choice between two distinctive models in stainless steel.

The entire Seamaster Diver 300M collection recently underwent a comprehensive revamp, with new mesh bracelets, domed sapphire crystals, and oxalic anodised aluminium bezels. These latest models continue that same design theme, while establishing their own identity through a black and orange colourway.

Each 42 mm timepiece is distinguished by its black aluminium dial, with rhodium plated skeletonized hands and indexes that are filled with white Super-LumiNova for a blue glow in dark conditions. Most notably, the central seconds hand is coated with an orange varnish, along with the indexes at the four quarter positions. There is also an orange Seamaster name, located beneath an Omega logo that is transferred in white.

Importantly, Omega has retained all of the Diver 300M’s legendary features, which have remained a defining part of the collection’s design heritage since 1993. These include the helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, the scalloped bezel and protruding crown guards, as well as the diving scale on the bezel – added in white Super-LumiNova for these editions.

This new orange style has been delivered in two different expressions. Either on a brushed mesh bracelet with clasp, or with an integrated orange rubber strap with foldover clasp.

Inside, each watch is driven by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, visible through the caseback’s sapphire crystal. Excellence in precision, performance and magnetic resistance is guaranteed by the Master Chronometer certification, with tests certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
