I have seen it, and tried on all variations - on stainless steel bracelet - including the silver dial and the two-tone models. They are all gorgeous. In the end, if I were to get one, it would either be the blue or black dial, all stainless steel.
Omega has really done very well with this model. I am constantly surprised, though, that I usually see each variation in the display at the local Boutique. I would have thought they would be pretty scarce by now. Very difficult to beat this watch in all aspects, and even at full MSRP I feel it is a great value. Cheers, Carl

Here are a few shots in the sunshine on Saturday. Really enjoying this watch and loving the various shades of blue - from dark blue almost black to lighter blue in direct sunlight at the perfect angle.

Good Choice on the blue. I recently purchased the gray dial, and did not work for me. The gray dial is more of a silver high polish than a gray like shown in pictures.

Just a heads up for anyone interested. I've been waiting for this strap to be back in stock on Omegas website for weeks and today I noticed it finally is. IMO it's one of the best looking nato straps they make. Should look really good on the black 300M!

I own an Omega leather strap for my Speedy. It was wildly overpriced. I bet the NATO is overpriced, also.

Just be advised it's leather lined, which is great, but pretty hot and not entirely comfortable in the warm weather... ; )

Are you sure - website says it’s just nylon, and it’s priced same as other natos on website and pic doesn’t show any leather at all... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Mine was leather lined. Perhaps they changed it...? I bought it two years ago.

Me too! Actually I get the mod to make a title change. It's not an incoming thread anymore. Agree with all you said. Despite my large collection, this watch has the most wrist time in my entire collection. And that's saying something.

When I set the date on all my automatic watches I roll the date over by advancing the time so I know it's Am, I advance it to 6 AM, I then quickset the date to the day before the correct date, then roll it over to correct date manually and set time. Works for me.

Sorry, didn't read it correctly. I don't have my printed watch manual with me now. So maybe someone else here can help.
