Can you handle this much black? I know I can – I just happen to have the ZRC GF 300 Black PHANTOM but here’s Omega’s take on the stealth look and very nice it is too.
The Seamaster Diver 300M goes full black on black or what Omega are calling “black black” you know, like you when teach toddlers the basics.
As you can deduce from its cute name, the Black Black (wtf this just sounds weird to me) takes the stealth look in its most extreme form – the monochromatic beauty has been executed entirely in black; from -
its blacked out dial that features black PVD indexes and skeletonized hands with black lume set against a black wave-pattern, to its high-tech black ceramic [ZrO2] case which is equipped with black components as well as a black rubber strap!
Only if you turn the watch over there are a couple of missed opportunities i.e. the Caliber 8806’s rotor as seen through the sapphire case-back and of course the red text found on it – shudda gone the extra mile and done a black rotor. Would have been killer!
The case btw measures 43.5mm in diameter and features all the typical Seamaster Diver 300M diving features such as its unidirectional diver’s bezel and the manually operated HEV which can be found at 10 o’clock on the side of the case.
Completing the look is an integrated black rubber diver’s strap with a black ceramic [ZrO2] buckle. MSRP in the US is 8'650USD.
Thoughts? This is pretty badass but with a black rotor it could have been better– what do you think?
What's a Pity !
