Seamaster Diver 300M

For Dr. Michael Hayoun, winning an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M was the perfect addition to his growing watch collection. It was an especially exciting win for a longtime James Bond fan.

“I’m a pretty big James Bond fan, and the Seamaster is clearly the James Bond watch. That was one of the main reasons I wanted it .”

Originally from New Jersey, Dr. Hayoun is an emergency physician and medical toxicologist. He spends much of his time working in the emergency room, treating everything from heart attacks and strokes to chest pain and other medical emergencies.

He also specializes in managing poisonings, overdoses, medication interactions, and other toxicology cases.

Outside of medicine, Dr. Hayoun enjoys travelling, cooking, taking classes, and exploring new experiences. A recent trip to Japan played an important role in developing his interest in watches.

“I was going to Japan and ended up buying a Grand Seiko while I was there. When you start looking for watch content on social media, you naturally begin seeing even more of it.”

While researching watches and learning more about the hobby, he came across Wolf Watch Club.

“I looked into it, watched one of the YouTube live competitions, and thought, ‘Okay, let me give it a try.’”

Before entering, Dr. Hayoun took the time to learn more about the process and watch previous competitions.

“It seemed like a very transparent process, which I appreciated.”

After entering the competitions for several weeks, Dr. Hayoun joined the live stream on competition night. When his name was announced, it took a moment for the news to register.

“I heard my name and thought, ‘Wait, what? I’m here! I’m here!’”

The excitement was immediate. Not only had he won a watch closely connected to one of his favourite film franchises, but it was also a piece that perfectly matched his personal taste.

“I like a nice watch that isn’t too gaudy. It’s something that people who know watches will recognize, but it isn’t just about showing off.”

Dr. Hayoun’s interest in watches began with a custom piece created by an Australian watchmaker. The watch featured a design inspired by his career, including the word “Toxicology” and a skull logo he helped create.

“That was my first custom watch. It says ‘Toxicology’ on it, has a skull, and uses the colours and logo I wanted.”

His Grand Seiko followed, and that was when his appreciation for watches truly began to grow.

“That’s kind of how the bug got me. I thought, ‘This is a really nice watch.’”

Now, the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M joins his collection as his biggest watch win yet.

For a doctor who spends long hours helping others through emergencies, the win offered an unforgettable moment of excitement before another busy stretch of shifts.

“I work a lot. I had a shift starting shortly after our call, and then I was working five nights in a row.”

From discovering Wolf Watch Club through his growing interest in watches to hearing his name announced live, Dr. Hayoun’s experience came together in a way he never expected.

For a James Bond fan, it is hard to imagine a more fitting watch to win than the Omega Seamaster.
