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!”

Sweet!
Finally catching one early!
Thanks Tim for introducing some astonishing pieces, again. Those two black FPJs would be favourites of mine
Tim taking one for the team here…pitching watches instead of W&W insights.
Thanks for the episode, Tim
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.
Well, I've just been amazed with discovering your chanel. Thanks for your most in depth content and enthusiasm.
Just can't get into modern Seamasters but the vintage Omega Seamaster.Big triangle and Seamaster 120m are just soo awesome 👌
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. 🤔
Tim, well done episode! I have to say you look in outstanding shape. What is your exercise routine, and are you on any special diet (like Brady 12)?
Seven makes great bikes! Good choice
wow that bike is unreal, I need to make it out to Philly for a ride!! All the best to Tim and the Team!!
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.
Nice bike Tim…. Enjoy!
Finally someone speaks about Roth-era Breguet. My wife wears a 3337BA. If only my wrists were smaller to wear it myself…
My guy, Saleen fox body is cool. And rhe cobra
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🥃🥃🥃
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.
looking forward to the collector's conversation with Kate solo!
tantalum smp is 🔥🔥🔥
Only 241👍??? Come on ! Tim desserves more.
@7:50 You get it, Tim! 👏
More of this format! Also, why does DeBethune always give me Star Trek vibes? That vague shape in their watches and movements screams trekkie for me
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!
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.
Nice frame Tim! Stay upright on that swaggy unobtanium!
