Why buy this watch which has been in production since 2000 when you can buy the new 2006 edition for a few more bucks?
The 2006 edition of the famous James Bond watch made its debut in the movie Casino Royale. Actually, there are two Omega watches in the movie; the limited edition Omega Seamaster Plant Ocean Big Size 2907.50.91 and the limited edition Omega Seamaster Chronometer 2226.80.00. This style of the James Bond watch first appeared in the movie ‘Golden Eye’ (1995).
The new 2006 quartz model 2223.80.00 has several refinements that you should consider over this model. Most notably is the appearance of the watch face. The blue wave dial is a deeper shade blue with a more distinctive wave pattern and the Seamaster script is a subtle red. More apparent is the hour markings are now encased in stainless steel mountings instead of painted on as in the previous model. This alone cleans up the watch face and makes it look like it costs thousands more.
Bear in mind that any Omega watch purchased on the internet voids the International Warranty, so read the seller’s warranty terms carefully. Some watches offered by Amazon carry Amazon’s 5-year warranty which surpasses the 2-year Omega International warranty. This watch is also available in an automatic chronometer with the new Co-Axial escapement movement as model 2222.80.00.
I received the 2223.80.00 as a gift from my wife for my 50th birthday. It is a beautiful example of a luxury watch at an affordable price. The mid-size case is smaller in diameter than the full size gents watch (36.25mm vs. 41mm) and is a comfortable fit for my thin 6-1/2 inch wrist.
If you desire a sharp looking luxury watch with the James Bond movie fame, check out the 2223.80.00.

The watch looks great, HOWEVER beware of durability issues.
First, on the bracelet the little pins that hold the bracelet together regular become loose or fall out and have to be replaced. In the first year I owned the watch I had to have it repaired three times for this problem, finally I asked for a brand new watch and the problem occurred all over again. It is not like I wore the watch doing construction work either, I am an office professional! Very frustrating.
Also, the WHITE dots on the face of the timepiece, which have a substance in them to illuminate the face in darkness deteriorate over time and turn BLACK (within one year)! Again this happened to me with two separate watches.
This watch will frustrate and disappoint both cosmetically and functionally. As a timepiece this watch quickly falls out of accurate time unless you constantly wind it tightly by hand. Beware!
