Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Owner Review : Comfortable, surprising and luminous

I once owned a Seamaster Bond—it dates back to 2005, bought at the Gold Star for those who knew it—a blue bezel with a black background and fine waves, equipped at the time with a good old, indestructible and cheap-to-service ETA 2824 "from the family," barely revised and corrected by Omega. Then, the rotating collections: a desire to refocus, to make changes, to stand out (literally and figuratively!). I don't remember the reasons, mostly bad ones, that made me get rid of it for a ridiculously low price when you look at the market (as crazy as it is today). I wanted to come back to it recently, and it's often the opportunity that makes me... Yet I didn't want "waves" on the dial, and not "those waves." I wanted a Peter Blake, then it passed me by, wanting a lacquered black background without a magnificent wave! And I was indecisive without finding the right opportunity at the right time. The opportunity arose when I wanted to resell a 45mm Panerai Radiomir... which I hardly wore anymore, and for me, a watch in the safe or in the dorm, frankly... anyway, I resold my Radiomir as part of a deal that was more profitable for me. In the meantime, I had been to Omega for a courtesy visit (always be courteous, you never know :-D)... and I spent 45 minutes trying on various things and enjoying the petits fours too... And then this version of the Seamaster arrived. A diver's watch with a pearly white background and a luminous case that seduced me for its originality. I was a bit hesitant about the 42mm diameter, but its thickness is controlled, and after all, my Speedmaster also has this diameter... Incomparable, of course, but there you go. I began to appreciate the waves on a white background, tone on tone: invisible depending on the angle, reflective depending on the lighting, they deserve a black and white photo!
