Creator Consensus

Positive

7 reviews: 7 positive, 0 mixed, 0 negative. 7 of 7 recommend it.

Every reviewer rates the design and dial positively. Most single out the subtle wave pattern that shifts with the light, and several feel dropping the date makes the layout purer. Several praise the mesh bracelet as luxurious and distinctive, yet most find its folding clasp thick under the wrist. All recommend it, some with caveats.

Where they differ. Value divides opinion: several call it a fair price for the watch, while some feel it asks more than date models with richer materials. The bezel is similarly split, with some finding its action hollow and hard to grip and one reviewer finding it satisfying to turn.

The New Dive Watch King? Omega Seamaster No Date 300M

Video, 15 minHands-on reviewAug 2025

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

Considers the No Date Seamaster an aesthetic triumph with an excellent movement, impressive build and far better value than the Submariner. The mesh bracelet proved uncomfortable and hard to size, and the bezel action and grip feel unrefined for the price.

Omega Seamaster No Date Review | The BEST Luxury DIVER Today?!

Video, 10 minHands-on reviewMar 2025

Very positiveRecommends

Calls this one of the favourite releases of 2024: the muted aluminium dial and bezel give a more tool-like look the reviewer finds almost better than the ceramic version. The only quibbles are the thickness, size for some wrists, and pricing above the date model.

Suits: Buyers wanting a tool-leaning luxury diver cheaper than a Submariner

Disclosure: Retailer stock

What they said, point by point

Designpositive: Appreciates the muted look that shifts the watch toward tool-watch character. 1:24
Finds it looks far better on the wrist than photos suggest. 6:43
Thinks the material downgrade somehow made the watch look nearly better. 8:10
Dialpositive: Likes how the waves are subtle and only appear when light catches them. 6:13
Feels the skeleton hands suit this watch perfectly. 2:22
Case & proportionsmixed: Values the domed sapphire crystal's vintage look over better anti-reflective performance. 8:10
Polished lugs and crown guards contrast well with the muted dial and bezel. 2:22
Suggests the thickness could be trimmed below 13mm. 4:47
Notes 42mm might be slightly large for some wearers. 4:47
Wearabilitypositive: Reports a great fit on a 7.5-inch wrist. 4:47
Crystal edge distortion makes the watch look slimmer when worn. 2:50
Functionalitymixed: Finds the bezel action and grip less than ideal, though acceptable for this use. 2:50
Fully lumed bezel makes it feel more purposeful than the original. 3:19
Personally doesn't need a fully lumed bezel but sees why it fits here. 6:43
Bracelet & strappositive: Sees the mesh bracelet as an ideal stopgap that gives the watch a different look. 7:12
Doesn't view the mesh as a permanent replacement for Omega's bracelet. 7:12

NEW Omega Seamaster - they are just getting better!

Video, 7 minHands-on reviewFeb 2025

PositiveRecommends

Sees the new no-date Seamaster as a step in the right direction. The matte, subtler dial and aluminium bezel are clear wins and the price is fair. Criticisms are the oversized mesh-bracelet clasp and the uninspiring black rubber strap.

Suits: Fans of time-only, purposeful dive watches who don't need a date

What they said, point by point

Dialpositive: Likes that the waves no longer busy the dial and it can look flat in some light. 2:27
Calls the move away from the glossy dial a major improvement. 2:27
Case & proportionspositive: Considers the switch to a matte aluminium bezel another improvement. 2:27
Values the 20mm lug width for the strap options it allows. 0:59
Designpositive: Feels the black version is being pushed toward a more aggressive, purposeful diver. 0:29
Prefers the simplicity of a time-only watch, finding it more purposeful. 3:27

Bracelet & strapmixed: Prefers the mesh bracelet's style to the traditional Seamaster bracelet, though admits it is less functional. 2:57
Finds the clasp far too large, overhanging a 16.5cm wrist. 4:54
Finds the black rubber strap on the black version uninspiring and unattractive. 4:25
Valuepositive: Judges the price fair for the amount of watch offered. 5:23
Argues it is more capable than the pricier Aqua Terra: more water resistance, a dive bezel and a more complex case. 5:51
Compared with: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra: Seamaster is more capable yet £100 cheaper; reviewer finds that puzzling.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (glossy wave-dial date version): New matte dial with subtler waves is a big improvement over the glossy one.

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

Considers the no-date Seamaster 300M a very decent, attractive release. The black wave dial and steel bracelet impressed in person. The reviewer wishes the case were about a millimetre thinner, finds the clasp bulky, and says Omega should have used its newest 8900-series movement.

Hands-On: The New Omega Seamaster Diver 300M With A Steel Dial And Titanium Bezel

ArticleHands-on reviewDec 2024Lex Stolk

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

Admits the mix of a 1990s case, 1970s-style mesh bracelet and a shifting steel dial is historically and functionally 'wrong'. Still finds it charismatic, stylish and vibrant on the wrist, with a superb bracelet but a thick clasp area.

Suits: Those who see it as a stylish desk diver rather than a dive tool

What the review says, point by point

Dialpositive: Finds the colourless dial impressively monochromatic and soberly chic.
Enjoys how light shifts the dial between grey and black, making it dynamic.
Notes the black dial text nearly vanishes against the metallic background.
Designpositive: Sees pairing a 1990s case with an older-era mesh bracelet as historically incoherent.
Feels the mesh bracelet aesthetically clashes somewhat with the watch.
Calls the full-metal watch charismatic and stylish overall.
Bracelet & strapmixed: Rates the steel mesh bracelet's quality as superb and luxurious.
Finds the three stacked steel layers at the clasp excessive under the wrist.
Functionalitynegative: Says it shows considerable flaws when judged as a dive watch.
Considers the shade-shifting dial distracting and thus not functional.
Frames it as a desk diver despite its professional specifications.
Wearabilitypositive: Feels the watch works on the wrist regardless of its conceptual flaws.
Compared with: Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Nekton: Shares case, bezel and movement; the dial is the key difference.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (Matthew Williams / 1017 Alyx 9SM): Similar fashionable fully integrated look with a brushed dial matching the case.

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date, Everything You Need To Know, And More…

ArticleHands-on reviewNov 2024Robin Nooy

PositiveRecommends, with caveats

The reviewer is quite satisfied with the No-Date and calls it an excellent take on an already very good watch, with a balanced design and a subdued matte wave dial. It is now on the reviewer's wish list, though the price and the mesh bracelet's clasp draw criticism.

What the review says, point by point

Designpositive: Considers no-date versions more balanced in design than the date models.
Finds the familiar look and feel reassuring for such an iconic watch.
Pleased that Omega stayed close to the established Diver 300M blueprint.
Thinks the watch looks amazing.
Dialpositive: The matte, fine-wave lacquered dial gives a subdued, purposeful appearance with less sparkle.
Judges the black dial slightly more legible than the grey version.
The green-glowing minute hand, contrasting with the blue lume, helps with reading the time in the dark.
Case & proportionsmixed: Wishes the crystal sat flush with the bezel as on the original Seamaster Professional.
Bracelet & strapnegative: Finds the folding clasp somewhat thick under the wrist.
Notes the clasp closes less tightly on the mesh than on rubber or leather straps.
Finishing & buildpositive: Considers it built to Omega's usual over-engineered standard.
Valuemixed: Points out it costs more than date versions that have pricier ceramic dials and bezel inserts.
Finds it odd that a model with fewer functions and cheaper materials is priced higher.
Tempers the complaint by noting the titanium No Time To Die edition was far pricier.
Compared with: Rolex Submariner: Submariner offers the same black dial with or without date; Omega forces dial changes.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (date, ceramic dial): Date ceramic versions cost less despite pricier materials and more functions.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M No Time To Die (titanium): The titanium NTTD edition was considerably more expensive.
Omega Seamaster Professional 300M (1993): The original's flush-mounted crystal would have been more fitting.
