    The Omega Seamaster is the eternal rival of the Rolex Submariner. But tonight, Tim Mosso recalls the time Omega gained the upper hand against the Rolex juggernaut. Tonight, Tim recalls the 1993 and 2018 Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Tantalum limited edition alongside a long roster of grail watches. This Omega dive watch fronts a collection of unimaginable luxury watches from the realm of fantasy. If you’re a luxury watch collector, this show is for you!

    2018 marked the 25th anniversary of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M. The so-called “James Bond” Omega rose to fame on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan during his tenure as Agent 007. This model’s enduring appeal spanned video games, multiple films, and even a change in casting as Daniel Craig was briefly associated with the model.

    To mark a quarter century of the Seamaster Professional Diver 300M design, Omega recalled the “tri-tone” Seamaster Chronograph of 1993. The tri-tone Seamaster Chrono was primarily constructed of titanium but also included rose gold and ultra-scarce tantalum. While not a precious metal, tantalum is a mystifying blue material that frustrates all attempts to work and finish it. By including tantalum in its Seamaster Chronograph, Omega elevated itself into the ranks of companies such as Audemars Piguet, Gerald Genta, and Jaeger-LeCoultre, all of which have built watches using tantalum.

    The 2018 Seamaster Diver 300M Tantalum features a 42mm case that’s water resistant to 300 meters and equipped with a helium escape valve for saturation dives. It includes a unidirectional diving bezel with 120 clicks, a full tri-tone bracelet with diving extension, and an elaborately decorated dial made of solid titanium. Omega equips this model – as it does all Diver 300M – with automatic caliber 8800. This movement, which is a Master Chronometer (METAS), includes a co-axial escapement, anti-shock and antimagnetic features, and a power reserve of 55 hours.

    The Omega Seamaster appears tonight with GRAIL watches from F.P. Journe, De Bethune, Vacheron Constantin, Parmigiani Fleurier, A. Lange & Sohne, and more!

    All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on “Watches Tonight!”

    1. Pfff. That's a nice frame. Can't believe my favourite watch guy is also a bike guy. And the same age. So relatable. Greetings from a Romanian in Belgium.

    2. I am struggling to understand the lack of W&W coverage. This is a miss by the platform that is best equipped to cover the event. I don’t know if this is a 1916 philosophy…but it really is a head scratcher. 🤔

    3. Great episode! I have the featured 2018 tantalum/titanium/Sedna gold Seamaster and it’s been my most worn watch of my collection over the last few years. Truly an underrated piece.

    4. Great show, Tim and Crew. I am not an FPJ fan, but wow! Those pieces were magnificent. DB? Beautiful… Thank you for the new bike video as well. Nicely done on the execution, Tim. 21🥃🥃🥃

    5. I feel like something is going on with the lack of W&W coverage from Watchbox. Is there a beef between you guys and the event organizers? I mean this is like ESPN not covering the Super Bowl.

    6. Hello everyone, as mentioned during the show, The 1916 Company now has a podcast hosted by Tim and Armand! The first episode is out now with the duo discussing some of their favorite chronographs. They will be covering their thoughts on this year's Watches & Wonders on the next episode coming out this Thursday, 4/18, at 7:00 AM.

      You can find the podcast on Spotify, Apple, YouTube, Audible, and most other platforms where you listen to your podcasts!

    7. Will definitely listen to the podcast, great show as usual Tim. I think FPJ pieces are getting more visible, maybe the last collectors negative experience with FPJ in the events are having some effect.
