Omega Seamaster Ceramic Thickness

More than half a century later the seamaster 300 is reintroduced in a completely upgraded and enhanced form prepared to equip a new generation of adventurers on land and in the oceans.

Omega seamaster ceramic thickness. The case of this 43 5 mm model is crafted from black ceramic and grade 5 titanium and includes a black ceramic bezel with a white enamel diving scale. Omega always does a good job but it s easy to see here why this model has remained a classic and has also remained largely unchanged in design for years. It comes on a black rubber strap with a buckle in black ceramic. Oh and they killed the date window.

And here the 39 5mm omega seamaster planet ocean 600m makes a lot of sense. While the core collection of the seamaster diver 300m comes with a 42mm case this one is listed at 43 5mm. An omega seamaster 300m was the perfect candidate. But of all the various iterations over the decades the most recent example with a polished ceramic dial ceramic bezel and co axial caliber 8800 may be the one that s finally found its footing.

The omega seamaster diver 300m in one form or another has been around since 1993. You ll wear this watch on holidays during trips to the seaside at the beach at the club or even for professional meetings. So all of this to say i am extremely impressed by the omega seamster 300m in ceramic. Today s modern collection has embraced that famous ocean heritage and updated it with omega s best innovation and design.

What does it mean. To compare a 41mm wide seamaster professional at the time would have been about 12mm thick. Since 1993 the seamaster professional diver 300m has enjoyed a legendary following. The newest generation of seamaster 300m watch is slightly larger than the outgoing generation with a 42mm wide versus 41mm wide case.

The 42mm version of the first generation planet ocean doesn t approach this level of thickness at 14 5mm thick but the 45 5mm model is a hefty 17mm thick. In all honesty a rolex submariner could have done the trick as well but at the time the difference in price was substantial as it is today again in fact and my heart was closer to omega already at that time as well due to the family affair i have with the brand from biel. Water resistant to 300 meters the case is about 12mm thick and has a roughly 50mm lug to lug distance.
