This is not a comparison of which watch is better, it's more of a design difference that 2 great watch companies have taken to hit the 300m mark.

Today I was deciding on what watch to wear, it was either the MM300 or the 2254, both on rubber and both look great on these sunny summer days. It was then that I noticed the clear big difference in the thickness when comparing them side by side, the MM300 is a handsome beast and feels so over engineered with a deep mesmerising dial, whereas the 2254 is a beautifully watch design, so light and detailed.

When you hold them together one feels like a 100m watch and the other like a 1000m watch, its hard to believe they are the same WR. Of course Omega use the HEV (helium escape valve) to get to this depth while the MM300 uses the solid case design.

I might do a more detailed review one day with better photos but thought it was interesting how both Omega and Seiko get to 300 meters.
