OMEGA releases the Seamaster Diver 300M Titanium Tantalum

OMEGA released the  Seamaster Diver 300M in Titanium and Tantalum.  It was the original Seamaster Diver 300M in 1993 that introduced the unique metal known as tantalum. Most commonly used in electronics and medical equipment, tantalum is a lustrous blue-grey metal that is more rare than gold, harder than steel, and highly corrosion-resistant. It is also particularly difficult to work with, adding to its rare use within the watch industry.
The distinctive colour of tantalum worked perfectly within the revolutionary Seamaster Diver 300M watch design and became a popular attribute of that original release. Today, OMEGA has reintroduced the metal for this special model limited to 2500 pieces.
Sized at 42 mm, the new watch includes a brushed case and bracelet built from grade 2 titanium. In subtle contrast, the blue-grey tone of tantalum has been used for the base of the bezel, as well as in the middle links of the bracelet.
The Limited Edition model also includes bold touches of 18K Sedna™ gold. This can be found on the crown, bezel ring, conical helium escape valve, bracelet links, indexes and hands. There is also an 18K Sedna™ gold plaque on the side of the case, which is engraved with each Limited Edition number.
