And my vote is for the steel version.  Generally I like watches with blue (I wear a blue dial almost daily) but the black diver just looks better in my opinion, it is more versatile, and it's a couple thousand dollars less expensive.

Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial: Black Steel or Blue Titanium?!

 
 By: LinsBarroso : February 8th, 2015-07:16
I've decided to buy the amazing new Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial, but I am not sure, what would be the best choice: The Black Steel Edition closer to to original from 1957 or the Blue Titanium, lighter and more sophisticated, but much more expensiv...  

If you are a diver, there are no questions.

When diving, watches are easily scratched by corals, going into wrecks and climbing the ladders back to the diving boat. Titanium can take it, steel can't. If you are not a diver but need the Seamster for desk diving, both are equally suitable. Best, Kari...

I'd go for the steel. I like this black dial a lot. While I am not sure I would not get

Rid of the Titanium blue... Best, Nicolas

Well, I Think We Could Both Agree, This Is...

Not Helpful :-). When are you coming to the States, Sir Nicolas? - Scott

Easy question ...

Even considering that the SM 300 Master is not a true reedition, I choose the black dialed SS because of the general looks. I could consider the Ti version if it was black dialed with a black bezel. In all cases, a strap is mandatory, IMHO. Cheers, Nilo

For me it is black v.s. blue not stainless steel v.s. titanium...

...I may be inclined to get the titanium if it is in black! Right now I would choose for you the black version in stainless steel as it is truer to the original and less expensive as you say. Ruckdee

well, I bought the steel one this weekend

Although I liked the weight of the titanium one, and the color of the metal, it seemed to me that the indices were more orange than "aged". So in the end an easy choise. Cheers, dirk

Blue, hands down

Well, at least for me. A no brainer. For its durability, for its lightness, for its colour, but more to the point for it is breaking away from being a mere tribute watch. Thing about it this way: yes a SM300, but with liquid metal, with in house-coaxial, ... 

You got it, finally? [nt]

Still deciding!

 
 By: LinsBarroso : February 9th, 2015-14:28
It is been very hard to decide. The Black in Titanium Grade 5 would be perfect! The Blue is special, but not vintage,... but much more expensive, but much more exclusive! The Blue Titanium price enter in the Rolex territory with the same price of the Subm... 

Why not ...

One black, in SS and one blue, in Ti. In this way, you have a nice set. Just to make you a little more undecided, here is my black SS reflecting a blue sky: Cheers, Nilo ...  

you will be amused to hear......

THE BLACK STEEL! I went to the Omega Boutique today and saw again the black one. It is really very nice and its price is still in the Omega's real world. We know in 15 years with their in-house Master Co-Axial calibers,Omega will be very near of the brand... 

Pictures ???
