HANDS-ON: Seriously fun, the gold and steel Omega Seamaster 300M Diver
I’ve got to say, for a watch born in the middle of the ’90s, the Omega Seamaster 300M Diver is looking pretty glorious. Partially that’s down to the fresh facelift and major internal upgrade, but it goes deeper than that. The SMP - as it’s known - knows what it is, and revels in that … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Seriously fun, the gold and steel Omega Seamaster 300M Diver appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Anyone else ever play this game?
