The Omega Seamaster is one of the most well-known dive watches in the world.
In 1948, Omega released the first Seamaster watch to celebrate the company’s 100th anniversary. The Seamaster was inspired by the military timepieces Omega delivered to the British Military of Defense during WWII, and Omega marketed it to civilians as a water-resistant watch designed for an active lifestyle.
By far Omega’s most popular line is the Seamaster. Within this core Omega watch collection, however, there are various sub-collections providing unique models with different looks. While the Planet Ocean, Aqua Terra, Diver 300M, and Railmaster are all quite distinct watches in terms of style and functionality, they are all part of the Seamaster collection.

In this post, we collected watches that resemble the look of the Diver 300M, in other words, the James Bond watch.
The Omega Seamaster is a wonderful choice whether you’re a seasoned diver, a James Bond fan, or simply a lover of high-end luxury timepieces.

The Phoibos Wave Master diver watch has all the features a classic dive watch should have.

Classic dive watch design, with an exciting pop of color that is still subtle enough to be appropriate as your everyday watch. It can worn with a casual Polo, or you can dress this timepiece up with a dark suit. The clean inner-workings of the Depthmaster Heritage are showcased in an exhibition caseback.

High visibility is a must when it comes to good dive watches, and this one delivers with the contrasting cream colored hour markings.

TAG Heuer Aquaracer
Specs:

The Aquaracer has a special place in our hearts. The 43 mm case size makes it a very comfortable wear, yet due to its clean design the dial remains perfectly readable at a glance. The stainless steel rotating bezel has a slightly angular shape, which gives it a very cool, masculine look.
At 3 o’clock, the angled date aperture is enlarged.
