First introduced in the 1990s, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M has evolved over the years while staying true to its modern and sporty character. Lately, though, Omega has been leaning into a more vintage-inspired look, with recent models embracing a subtle retro aesthetic in both design and materials. The latest addition for 2025, the Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy, takes this even further, pairing Omega’s warm-toned Bronze Gold alloy with a deep red aluminum bezel. It’s available on either a black rubber strap or a matching Bronze Gold mesh bracelet, offering a blend of classic style and contemporary performance.
The no-date version of the Seamaster Diver 300M first made its debut on the 07 “No Time to Die” Edition, worn by Daniel Craig in the 2021 James Bond film. However, it’s only in the past several months that this design has started appearing in standard-production models.
Omega revisited the no-date layout for the Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond watches in 2022, but the first core collection pieces didn’t arrive until late last year with two monochromatic stainless steel models—one with a black dial and the other in silver.
To close out 2024, Omega introduced a striking two-tone version featuring a green dial crafted from titanium and its proprietary Bronze Gold alloy. Now, for its first release of 2025, Omega has taken things a step further with a premium no-date Diver 300M, fully constructed from Bronze Gold and topped off with a rich burgundy bezel insert.
The new no-date versions of the Seamaster Diver 300M bring a subtle yet distinct vintage-inspired touch compared to the standard time-and-date models. By removing the date window, Omega achieves a cleaner, more balanced dial, while the addition of a more prominently domed sapphire crystal enhances the retro aesthetic. Instead of the usual ceramic dials and bezel inserts, these models feature aluminum components, further reinforcing their throwback appeal.
Another notable difference is the bracelet design. Rather than the traditional multi-link style, the no-date versions with bracelets come fitted with mesh bracelets with straight end pieces, giving them a sleeker, more understated look. While the Diver 300M’s signature wave dial and intricate bracelet design have been defining features for decades, they’ve also been somewhat polarizing among collectors. By contrast, the no-date models offer a more streamlined and approachable take on the Diver 300M, making them some of the most versatile and universally appealing additions to the lineup.
Before diving into the new watch, which, at its core, is a fresh material and colorway variation of recent Seamaster Diver 300M models. It’s worth taking a quick look at Bronze Gold itself. Omega’s proprietary alloy is made from 37.5% pure gold, which technically classifies it as 9k gold. Like traditional bronze, it contains a high percentage of copper, but Omega has elevated the formula by incorporating palladium and silver, creating a more refined, luxury-grade version of bronze that’s resistant to corrosion and rich in character.
The high gold content not only enhances its warm, signature hue but also slows down the patina process, ensuring a more subtle and elegant aging effect over time. Unlike traditional bronze alloys, Bronze Gold won’t develop verdigris oxidation (the bluish-green layer that often forms on untreated bronze), allowing it to maintain its refined, vintage-inspired look without the need for frequent maintenance.
Much like the two-tone and stainless steel no-date models introduced late last year, the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy retains the same 42mm case diameter, 13.8mm thickness, and 49.7mm lug-to-lug measurement, with the signature twisted lugs spaced 20mm apart.
What sets this model apart is its fully Bronze Gold construction, every external component is crafted from Omega’s proprietary 9k Bronze Gold alloy, with the only exceptions being the two sapphire crystals (front and back) and the deep burgundy bezel insert, which is made from oxalic anodized aluminum.
Aside from its unique materials, the watch stays true to the classic Diver 300M design, featuring a screw-down crown flanked by two crown guards at 3 o’clock, a manual helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, and the scalloped edges along the rim of its unidirectional rotating bezel.
Like the other recently released no-date models, the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy features a sandblasted black aluminum dial, designed to complement the warm tones of its Bronze Gold case. The dial’s tan-colored printing adds to the vintage-inspired aesthetic, while black-framed hour markers and hands finished in Bronze Gold PVD complete the look.
For visibility in low light, both the hands and hour markers are filled with beige Super-LumiNova, enhancing the watch’s old-school charm. Even those who typically prefer bright white lume might find it hard to object, as the entire design is intentionally limited to just three colors, black, Bronze Gold, and burgundy, giving it a cohesive and sophisticated look.
Like the other recently released time-only Seamaster Diver 300M models, the new Bronze Gold and Burgundy edition is powered by Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8806, the no-date version of the movement found in the standard time-and-date models from the Diver 300M lineup.
Operating at a 25,200 vph (3.5 Hz) frequency with a 55-hour power reserve, the Cal. 8806 is a METAS-certified chronometer, meaning it delivers -0/+5 seconds per day accuracy after casing and is resistant to magnetic fields exceeding 15,000 gauss, making it both highly precise and incredibly durable.
As for wearability, Omega offers the Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy with two strap options: a black rubber strap with a Bronze Gold pin buckle or a full Bronze Gold mesh bracelet, complete with a matching Bronze Gold folding clasp. Whether on the strap or bracelet, the watch stays true to its refined yet vintage-inspired aesthetic.
Since Bronze Gold contains only half the gold content of the 18k alloys typically used in watchmaking, Omega’s Bronze Gold watches are significantly more affordable than their 18k gold counterparts. That said, with pure gold making up more than a third of the alloy by weight, it’s still considerably more expensive than standard bronze.
For those considering this model, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Bronze Gold and Burgundy is priced at $13,900 USD when purchased on a rubber strap (ref. 210.92.42.20.01.003)—about twice the price of the stainless steel no-date versions and roughly one-third the cost of an 18k gold time-and-date Diver 300M.
However, for those who opt for the full Bronze Gold mesh bracelet (ref. 210.90.42.20.01.003), the price jumps to $27,900 USD, placing it in a completely different category of luxury.
