To everyone’s astonishment, Swatch’s Bioceramic MoonSwatch series is a massive hit. Even discerning watch enthusiasts are looking for new releases to grow their collection. Despite the highly positive reception of this collaboration, OMEGA never ceases to release magnificent timekeeping instruments. One of the latest additions is the SEAMASTER DIVER 300M in Bronze Gold and Burgundy.
OMEGA’s SEAMASTER lineup caters to various styles and occasionally features precious metals with gemstones. This new reference, meanwhile, is deceptively simple yet surprisingly elegant. “Bronze Gold is OMEGA’s one-of-a-kind alloy, enriched with noble elements such as 37.5% gold, hallmarked as 9K, as well as palladium and silver,” according to the press release.
It then continues: “The material offers incomparable corrosion resistance without verdigris-oxidation, therefore aging slowly and retaining its natural and beautiful patina over a longer period.” Each SEAMASTER DIVER 300M in Bronze Gold and Burgundy touts a 42 mm Bronze Gold case. Next is the oxalic anodized aluminum bezel ring with a bold shade of burgundy and Bronze Gold diving scale.
A sapphire crystal covers the matte black dial adorned by baton and round applied hour markers. Skeleton sword hands for hours and minutes alongside a stick seconds hand in Bronze Gold sweep across the dark backdrop. OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 is in charge of timekeeping functions.
The self-winding movement has a 55-hour power reserve and is viewable via the exhibition case back. The only embellishments on the case band are a screw-down crown with guards and a helium escape valve. Lastly, OMEGA ships the SEAMASTER DIVER 300M in Bronze Gold and Burgundy with a Bronze Gold mesh bracelet on a foldover clasp or a black rubber strap with a pin buckle closure.
