You can’t get much more toolier than a Blue Angel.

There are watches that I research, think about, try on several times and eventually decide belong in my collection. This was NOT one of those watches. 😂 You all know by now I am a BIG Omega Fanboy! When Omega released this Seamaster Diver 300M in Bronze Gold with the burgundy bezel, it was one of those very rare occasions when I saw a watch and immediately thought, “I HAVE to have that!” and was fortunate enough to be able to get one, and I haven't regretted it for a second. Part of what grabbed me was simply the combination of colors. The warm Bronze Gold case, burgundy aluminum bezel, matte black dial and vintage-colored lume just work beautifully together. On the black rubber strap, it also tones down the precious-metal aspect enough that the watch still feels like a proper Seamaster rather than a flashy gold sports watch. Somewhere along the way my friend at Omega told me it was nicknamed “Ironman” because of the red, gold and black combination…and now I can't unsee it. 😂 The Bronze Gold itself is pretty fascinating. It isn't conventional bronze. Omega developed its own alloy using 37.5% gold along with palladium and silver, giving it the warmth of bronze while greatly resisting the green oxidation associated with traditional bronze cases. It is designed to age slowly and develop a much more subtle patina over time. Underneath all of that color, however, this is still a serious Seamaster Diver 300M: 42mm case, 300 meters of water resistance, no-date layout, domed sapphire crystal and Omega's Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, with a 55-hour power reserve and METAS certification. This generation also takes some of its design cues from the No Time To Die 007 Seamaster, particularly the more vintage-inspired dial, aluminum bezel and crystal treatment. But specs really aren't just why I love this one. For me, collecting watches is usually a fairly deliberate process. I enjoy learning the history, understanding the movement and figuring out where a watch fits within the collection. Every once in a while, though, a watch completely bypasses the analytical part of my brain.
