Seamaster 43.5mm Ceramic
This one has caught my eye as of late, but don't see many reviews or pics of it. Anyone here own one? Thoughts on how it wears, lug to lug measurements, more pics?
Thanks in advance! |

I have seen one in person and I think they are stunning, very high quality feel and the perfect size, one of Omega’s best looking Seamaster’s for me, this guy agrees judging by this interesting review.

I've got a couple, great watch. Wears small for its size but retains a strong wrist presence. The 8900 movement puts Rolex to shame for its accuracy over time.

It’s my favorite SMP but it wore too big for me. Catch and release. It basically wears like a 44. My wrist is 6 3/4.

It's luck if the draw. Mines about +4 a day, just inside METAS specs

I think it’s a great looking watch- best bang for your buck on the secondary market imo

Tried on this watch a few months ago at an Omega boutique. A nice piece and my favourite from the Seamaster 300 line but unfortunately I found it way too large for my 6.5 in wrist.

I tried it on at the boutique a year ago, but decided not to purchase. I knew it would be larger than the current SMP wait 44mm - but what caught me off guard was the weight. While wearing it, I could swear it was almost as heavy as the current stainless steel SMP 300M. Ceramic and titanium is supposed to be lighter right? It was as thick as the current SMP 300M - but the weight just didn't make sense to me.

Plus it’s on a rubber strap so it’s crazy that it even felt close to as heavy as the current smp 300m on a bracelet. The black on black is growing on me though Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I like the looks of them but I was disappointed in how thick it was when I tried one on.

I was comparing the rubber strap on both 300M. Bracelet would definitely be heavier...regardless, the weight was comparable to SS case on rubber strap.
