Omega Seamaster 300 Master Chronometer iN Summer Blue

Moving on with our look through the “Summer Blue” collection, created by Omega to celebrate their Seamaster models, leads us to another classic re-envisioned with this charismatic hue. We’re referring to the original Seamaster 300, which was first introduced in 1957 as part of OMEGA’s “professional” trilogy (along with the Speedmaster and Railmaster). The key selling points back then offered wearers an easy-to-read display and exceptional water-resistance. More than a half a century later that all remains true, plus it now comes in blue (rhyme fully intended).The 41 mm is made out of stainless-steel with a near fully polished finish, except for the moment our view reaches the integrated bracelets central links. It is a break in aesthetic flow, but it's also an ingenious way of claiming more visual space. A case study (pun not intended) about increasing size through design.On the flip-side is a stamped commemorative Seamaster logo depicting a trident-bearing Poseidon and two seahorses. This was OMEGA’s 1956 original design which the brand has currently reinstated.Mounted to the case a blue ceramic bezel with a light blue diving scale, while a riveted circumference enhances its grip ability and provides a coin-like, urban style.It comes equipped with a knurled screw-in crown and those long protruding lugs for a comfortable wrist fit. All topped by a domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides. Despite this “Seamaster” not including a helium escape-valve, water-resistance is still capable of reaching up to an impressive 300 meters (1000 feet).Time is told on Omega’s “summer blue” color with a sandwich-style dial with recessed hour markers, and the open Arabic numerals (3, 6, 9, and 12), while a minute ring of thin silvery white indices follow along intercalated.This varnished dial seems to reflect a deeper level of blue, as if to correspond with its prowess in terms of water depth capability. A subtle Omega logo is recessed on the upper-half of the dial, while the lower-half exhibits the “Seamaster 300” inscription in cursive font. The rhodium-plated central hands and wedged hour index markers, and Arabic numerals have all been fitted with a unique light blue Super-LumiNova coating, for an enhanced legibility. Except for the central minute hand which shines in green, just like the 12 o'clock dot on the bezel.
