The calibre 2500 co-axial escapement movement features a self-winding chronometer with a rhodium plated finish that has a power reserve of 48 hours. The Diver 300 movement begins with a base ETA 2824-2 movement and is fitted with George Daniel's co-axial escapement to reduce friction and increase service times through a 25,200 Hz.
The 41mm case is water resistant to 300 metres and features a screw-in crown, a uni-directional ceramic bezel, a helium escape valve located at the 10 o'clock position and a scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Unlike current tastes, the Diver 300 does not incorporate a display case back and retains the Hippocampus symbol.
This is everything you would expect from a Seamaster professional series, although the helium escape value is not required for non-commercial diving operations. The screw type helium release valve isn't too large that it distracts from this timepiece.
Technical specifications aside, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300 is a serious watch and I would certainly like one one on my wrist if I am able to secure the necessary discounts from retailers. This takes a fair degree of negotiation but they have a little latitude to move on price and they want to make the sale.
