Omega Seamaster No Time To Die - VSF v3
The Omega Seamaster is a watch with a long history and a number of fans, it's an iconic model for Omega, but I never liked it. Something in its design wasn't singing to me, I still can't identify it fully.
I was never a Bond fan either, and in general I don't like mixing watch brands with other brands such as movies or cars or football players and so on.
But then I stumbled on a pic showing this watch. It was a Seamaster. It had 007 written all over it. It even had the name of a movie... but what the hell it was an AWESOME watch, period.
To be totally honest, I liked the vintage inspired look of the spectre too, but this one is on another league imho.
It's contemporary, titanium gives it that rugged look that matches perfectly with the military inspired dial and it has patina lume. Plus it features a wonderful mesh bracelet that's just the icing on the cake, together with a nato strap that's perfectly matching the watches color scheme. Hats off to Omega for a flawless design, old and new perfectly blended together.
I won't go through the comparison with the gen, tbh I didn't even take the time to compare it myself, I just knew I wanted it.
I'll spend a word on the mesh bracelet though. In this v3 version the mesh bracelet is made of steel vs the case being titanium. The difference is there but not really noticeable imho, and I have more than a few watches in my collection. Of course a titanium mesh would be more desirable, but until there is one available this steel surrogate can do without the minimum issue.
For the rest the watch is top quality and it shows immediately. Attention to detail is incredible, check the brushed hands or the machining work on the bezel for instance.
Another fact that's worth to mention since I read it happened to others too is the loose caseback. Please guys check your caseback one you get the watch, it will likely need to be tightened. Nothing difficult, all you need is a 5 usd rubber ball you can find on ebay or amazon.
I already wrote too much, let the pics do the talking now.
I hope you liked the pictorial and possibly found it useful, see you soon!
