Omega Seamaster 300mm alternatives?

[rico]

I'm finding myself drawn to the 'big triangle' vintage 300mm divers but I won't be paying north of £5k for a vintage model. Therefore i'm wondering what more modern alternatives might there be? I hesitate to use the word 'homage' but in this case, I will make an exception.

Thank you!

Search for the Omega Seamaster Peter Blake, model numbers 2264.50.00 is the quartz, while the auto is 2254.50.00. It’s a 41mm diver that isn’t as thick as the current vintage.

The alternative in aesthetics is a first generation Planet Ocean.

The seamaster you mentuion will be significantly cheaper then a gen1 PO and good POs are not that easy found now. Expect to pay up to £3.5k.

I’d go for a cwc

I would agree
I have both and the CWC is the best everyday wearer obviously

Same I have both also not the big triangle version of the omega but the 166.024 version, the cwc is a fantastic watch

Which cwc model?

As do I, a Watchco style but not actually from Watchco except the dial. I've had a half dozen CWCs. Nice watches.

I am very happy with this CWC RN AUTO DATE MK2 (RN300-MT AS120-D):

Lots of different variations quartz and automatic probably best to look on the the silvermans site and see what grabs you

Here is mine with the omega for comparison

I had a couple of Seamaster 300's made up with movements sourced from vintage Omega's when the dial and handsets were made available for a while by Omega. Sold both. Now have a CWC 1980 reissue in c3 Lume which I think is a great watch. Not disimilar, both have similar bezels

With respect the CWC isn't much like the SM300.

Eddie needs to re-make the PRS-14 asap.

Oh I don’t know
The SM was the inspiration for the DefStan
The CWC follows that DefStan
I think the connection is quite clear

dial, sword hands, bezel, polished case

This is a good point, though.

Sure, I was thinking more of the Monnin case vs the lyre lugs. They wear very differently, the CWC is chunkier.

I like the CWC but I love the SM300.

I wanted the look of the SM300 but didn't fancy the price of an original or the WatchCo version. Picked this one up from SC.
