The Omega Men’s Seamaster Blue Dial Watch makes its statement with a sporty deep blue dial with luminous hands and hour markers, and a calendar window that sits at the 3 o’clock. This timepiece also features quartz precision movement with rhodium-plated finish for greater precision, stability, and durability of the movement, a stainless steel case and bezel, and a stainless steel band. The blue bezel is offset with white markers and Arabic numerals. The watch also features a domed [Read More...]

This 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. The watch offered here carries on the James Bond style without the limited edition price tag.
This style of the James Bond watch first appeared in the movie ‘Golden Eye’ (1995) and is still available as the full size gents automatic chronometer model 2531.80.00 and the same in a quartz model 2541.80.00. The new 2006 quartz model 2221.80.00 has several refinements that you should consider over the previous (but still available) 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. This watch is also available in an automatic chronometer with the new Co-Axial escapement movement as model 2220.80.00.
If you desire a James Bond series watch at an affordable price, this is the one.

A true piece of art trumps price
Like the title says, a true piece of art trumps price, every time. This watch is the perfect mate of beauty, class, craftsmanship and usefulness.

I second that. This watch is an absolute beauty. I got the Quartz version myself, purely because I’m an accuracy nut but I can see why people would want an automatic version. This watch screams class, but not in an overt way like a Tag (held in smaller esteem by watch connoisseurs) might. It’s nicely heavy, and its refined workmanship makes you realise what a joyous piece of jewellery you’re wearing. This is my first step into “expensive” watches, and I am more than happy with the choice I made.
If you’re thinking of buying this watch, and like me, have scoured the net endlessly in search of reviews and pictures, then just take the plunge and buy it. This watch looks 100 times better than any picture out there, official ones included.

Can also negotiate with local dealer
I was looking at this watch about a month ago and it was for sale for @$1,200. I went down to the local authorized dealer and got the watch for $1,500 + $91.00 tax.

I have this watch for 3 years now. It has excellent built quality and is highly accurate. My watch drift less than 15 seconds a year. The power reserve is mentioned to be 36 months but the battery lasted longer. However I changed the battery after 37 months just to be on the safe side. The battery change and water pressure check cost me singapore dollars SGD$30.00 (done at Swatch SEA service centre). I wear it almost daily and scratches are evident on the bezel and the bracelet. I left it at that as it look more personalized.
Specifications of the watch: stainless steel case and bracelet. Sapphire crystal, Date, 300M water resistance, 3 hands movement

Long time owner
I’ve owned the quartz version of the James Bond Omega since the first year it was introduced. I think I bought it more than ten years ago.

Great for what it is
The 2008 James Bond movie (still to be launched at time of writing) will feature agent 007 wearing a Omega Seamaster with black dial.

Very poor quality and no customer support
I purchased a Seamaster and it stopped working in 6 months. The US service center said they would not fix it because I didn’t save the warranty card.
