Omega Seasmaster 300 Two Tone

I’m strongly considering the blue and yellow gold Seamaster on bracelet and also picking up the blue rubber.

Do you guys have any pics? It seems to be tough to find a lot of real life photos of this piece.

Any thought or opinions are welcome as well! Thanks.

Black dial for me, but the blue is gorgeous too, IMO.

It's accurate, anti-magnetic, water resistant, and for a two tone watch, classy, yet sporty.

That looks fantastic! It seems like a great all around piece.

Any more thoughts or pics?

My biased thoughts...

Bezel action has improved significantly over older Seamasters.

Adjustable clasp and two half links allow you to get the perfect fit.

I like the fact that it's mostly brushed, rather than polished. Even the bezel edge is brushed gold. Bezel pip and insert markings are tastefully executed.

It's a hefty watch on the bracelet. But well balanced, not top heavy.

The crown is also larger than older versions were, so easier to operate.

Dial really pops and offers different effects depending on light.

Thin enough to fit under a sleeve. Really hugs the wrist.

It's a great watch, in any metal or dial combo.

Excellent photos and review! I’m pretty much sold on picking one up. I’m surprised that you don’t see more of them on the forums. The gold looks elegant but understated. I’m a big fan of the bluesy, but it’s just too flashy for my style. So when I saw this model, it just clicked for me.

Do you rotate yours with any other pieces?

Agreed. As far as two tones are concerned, this one is somewhat less in your face. Elegant is a great way to describe it.

I think two tones are typically less popular on enthusiast forums like this one. There are a few of us, however, I've seen the posts. I actually came across someone wearing a blue dial TT in San Francisco last year, but that's the only time I've seen one 'in the wild'.

Yes, I rotate watches often.

I have the blue/Sedna gold on rubber.

Today I received the all SS bracelet too from my AD. I love the new look and overall heft on the bracelet.

I considered getting the two tone bracelet but was about £2k more expensive that all SS.

It’s a great watch in my opinion and the gold adds that extra exclusivity as not many out there on the streets.

@j-rob, have you seen it in person? I have the SS blue one, and I concur with the opinions above, it's a smidgen flashy and very heavy on the bracelet. I wear it with a leather strap.

Just based on what I've seen here, I prefer the TT in black, but hey, it's your watch, not mine!

The blue won’t be a bad choice.

This is also on my list to get some day, I like both but would probably go blue.

I picked up the black/yellow gold on rubber about a week ago and have only taken it off to sleep since. It is an amazing piece. My only issue so far is that the strap is too long for my wrist (currently using the last hole). I ordered a shorter strap when I bought it, so this will be solved as soon as the new strap arrives.
