Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Black Black
As the world continues to endure these dark COVID-19 times, we are greeted with a new Omega release dubbed “Seamaster Diver 300M Black Black”. The double “black” is not a typo, but actually an appropriate moniker for the monochromatic design that permeates this iconic models latest iteration. Previously we saw Omega release a blacked-out “Speedmaster” for the “Dark Side of the Moon” series, now we can opt for a “Seamaster” variation in an equally conspicuous “incognito mode”. The 43.5mm case is made of black ceramic with a transparent sapphire crystal exhibition case back, which allows to view the inner workings of the mechanical movement. The screw-on portion of the case back includes the patented OMEGA “NAIAD LOCK”, which ensures all the technical information and other engraving always synch back into the exact upright position.One of this models more original elements comes mounted to the case in the form of a unidirectional black ceramic bezel with a black ceramic insert that features a grained finish. It includes a 60-minute scale thats been raised in a positive relief and polished to enhance contrast. A nice finishing option obtained via a laser ablation process that brings some depth to its overall look.Even the setting-crown embossed with the Omega logo and the helium escape valve at the 10 o’clock position have been crafted from black ceramic. These componentes also assist in water-resistance on this watch being able to reach up to 300 meters (984 feet). All topped by a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides.Time is exhibited on a black ceramic dial with black round dotted hour index markers, single rectangle markers for the 3, 6 and 9 o’clock positions and a double rectangle marker for the 12 o’clock spot. Alongside the inner flange of the dial are portions of black printed railroad-type minute index markers, divided by single markers for every 5-minute increment.After that Omega doubles down just as the “Black Black” title foreshadows. Thus this black dials background is adorned by a black-toned positive relief wave pattern, which runs through all of its surface. The equally darkened central hands with hollowed out sections and all the hour index markers have been given a new anthracite Super-Luminova glow, which provides an enhanced legibility while keeping it as dark as it possibly can.
