Really hoping that ZF or ORF rep this quick since VSF has always let me down with their off-white lume! I’m curious whether the regular bond bracelet would fit this case..

Although for my personal preference I’d swap the non-painted seconds hand from the green SMP rather than the lollipop..

Ok, yes, the blue one is awesome, a great looking dive watch.

But I'm surprisingly digging this diamond bezel white gold version that was also announced.
Now thats a circus watch, if Ive ever seen one. 🤣

No offence mate, we all have our kinks, no judgement here, just silly jokes!

What Im dissapointed by is the bracelet, well in particular the very… lets call it unfortunate… way they handled the clasp and ”rest of the bracelet” fold onto each other, makig it very uncomfortable to wear at any desk.
And I cant imagine this being on anything but a bracelet…

It's not the NTTD. It's the 60th anniversary Bond watch. Basically the watch has past Bond Omega details added into the watch such as the mesh of the NTTD, lollipop seconds hand of the Spectre and the waves dial of the past Bond SMP.

I like the colour and the return of the rose engine cut dial.

Hate the Bond graphics and ‘DIVER 300’ on the back.

It's at the back. At least it's not in your face and on the dial like on most of the other Bond editions before this one. Nice and subtle especially with the 60 on the bezel instead of shouting "007 60th Anniversary" all over the dial.

I know it’s at the back, but it still looks like a dogs breakfast. Dots, a swirly swoosh, 60, 007, and a Bond silhouette - it’s a complete mess. Looks like it was done by a kid in art class. They should have carried some of the sensibilities and restraint they used on the front over to the back.

All the design elements of past Bond Omega's integrated into the design. When the classic waves SMP makes out with the Spectre and NTTD Omega, boom, you get the 60th Anniversary watch!

I arrived to the same conclusion yesterday.
Im calling this Seamaster - The greatest hits.

And Im fed up with Omega milking each succesful model to the bone, so Im not quite yet sure, if I like this one…

By far my favorite modern seamaster but the nearly 50mm lug to lug them kills it for me, wish they made it more reasonable for the sub 7in wrist crowd.

Looks like it is an easy job for VSF to rep this since they have all the components in their drawers already. Just a small mod to the SMP case, a new insert and a new caseback then it is ready for the market.

what's with the extra thickness of both of these, the blue one is about 1mm thicker and the white gold is about 1.5mm thicker than the regular 300
