Omega Men's 2221.80.00 Seamaster 300M Quartz "James Bond" Blue Dial Watch

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.

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.

Details: This watch is like any fine jewlery product. From the images posted on Amazon you cannot get a feel for how this watch feels and looks in person. All metal parts are either finely brushed or beautifully polished. This watch stands...Read more

Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Quartz Watch 2221.80.00

My wife bought this watch for me as a gift after I had researched and decided on this one. I received it September 3, 2011. I chose the Seamaster quartz model because of the accurate time keeping. Quartz watches simply keep time better than mechanical watches. I can check it when daylight savings time changes and not have to worry about its accuracy otherwise. The stainless steel bracelet and case will not show wear over time like gold plating will and is much less expensive and more scratch resistant than 18 karat gold. Other models are available in a Titanium case to save weight but be aware that Titanium is softer and scratches more easily than stainless steel. The stainless steel bracelet and case with a blue dial and bezel really gives this watch an understated classic look. It has a look of quiet elegance without being flashy.
