Since we are on the topic of vintage 1:1 fake Omega Seamasters, I thought it would be a good idea to weigh the latest Seamaster 300 against another modern Seamaster in the Omega stable, as well as a vintage model. What I took for review were two icons of Swiss made replica Omega dive watch lore from completely different eras. One was a vintage Seamaster 300 from 1967 and the other a modern cheap copy Omega Seamaster Diver 300m, which takes its design from the iconic Bond Seamaster of the 1990s.
In many ways, the new cheap fake Omega Seamaster 300 is a combination of both watches. It takes much of its modern build and capability from the Diver 300m but does away with the modern design flourishes such as the wave dial, red text, and oh-so-’90s bracelet. In terms of the vintage super clone model, you can see where the new 300 took its inspiration, like the layout of the numerals and Seamaster 300 wordmark.
But again, it was Instagram which made me consider this comparison in the first place. The vintage perfect fake Omega 300 and the Professional 300m are mainstays of the social media platform. Watch influencers the world over have posted photos of these high quality replica watches since the very inception of the app. Considering that this new Seamster feels like an answer to Instagram, I just wanted to see how it stacked up.
The best way I can describe the new AAA fake Omega Seamaster 300 is as a vintage-inspired watch inspired by the idea of vintage-inspired design. Nothing about it is a carbon copy of a particular vintage Omega, but rather a distillation of the vintage ideal. It’s the kind of watch someone would see and just assume is based on an old Omega Seamaster replica for sale – only it isn’t. And in a way, that’s cool. Because, while it has all the faux-aging, and old-school charm, it’s also its own thing – more a design update of the outgoing 1:1 fake Omega Seamaster 300 model than a recreation of something old.
And it seems to be doing its job out there in the social media sphere. Like many watches today, the high quality replica Omega Seamaster 300 range, though released in early 2021, took some time to hit stores and therefore build momentum to reach the hype levels it’s at today. Only time will tell if that momentum can be sustained.
