Omega Men’s Seamaster 300M “James Bond” Automatic Chronometer Watch #2220.80.00
I’ve owned this watch for about a year now and I’ve been a bit disappointed. I purchased it brand new and it already broke/malfunctioned once, as I was winding it. I didn’t wind it too hard or too much but at some point the watch stopped working. I thought I had overwound it–which it’s not supposed to be possible with self winding, automatic watches–so I left it to rest for a few days and lo and behold the watch started to work again! However, I’ve noticed that the crown has a lot more resistance than before plus it recoils a bit when being wound. Yes, Omega makes one heck of a product but I’m disappointed of the 2500 C caliber. It’s basically an ETA-based model. Although heavily modified, the ETA movement that Omega based its 2500 caliber on is only worth about $129 retail! Granted, Omega turns this movement into a COSC-certified chronometer–and I must say a very accurate one (it runs only 4 seconds a day fast, which falls perfectly within the COSC specifications). Other than the movement though, the quality of the case, dial, hands, and bracelet is unmatched! I just wish Omega would have matched this model with a slightly higher quality caliber. All in all, it’s a beautiful time piece to look at. You’ll never get tired of looking at it–even when it doesn’t work. As I once read on a quote, with this time piece “time is just an excuse.”

Mine is a bit older so it is not the co-axial movement. It is the older mechanical movement, I’ve had it 5 years and it keeps very good time. I probably wear it 60% of the time. I feel complexity reduces reliability so I chose this over watches with more funtions. It will initally feel a bit heavy but you adjust to that very quickly. I have had absolutely no issues with it. The rotating Bezel does require more force than you expect. I’m sure that is by design. The glowing hands are great for the movie theater.
Omegas are a bit different. Other Omega watch wearers will say things to you about it. There is sometimes an expectation that you know something about your watch and other watches if you wear an Omega. Not a lot but it happens. People who are just interested in the Jewelery tend to go another way.

Without spending three times as much for a Rolex, this is the best statement that you’ve made it.

I purchased this one from Amazon direct, not one of their associated merchants. The watch arrived on time with all of the proper packaging and documentation. The Omega warranty registration cards were included, but not dealer stamped. As covered in other reviews, you get an Amazon warranty – not an Omega warranty. I had the bracelet adjusted by an Omega dealer in Atlanta for $35.00, they had the same watch for $600.00 more. One thing that did seem odd was the back case was not screwed down squarely with the rest of the watch – i.e. the seahorse is not straight up and down. Maybe this is typical of these watches. The other thing I noticed was the clasp on the bracelet seems to scratch rather easily. It keeps accurate time and has the quality look and feel. Overall – I’m glad I bought it.

My wife bought me this watch as a gift, and since the other reviews give plenty of detail regarding the quality and finish of the watch, I’ll give some insight into buying it from Amazon. First, my watch shipped from Amazon, so I can’t vouch for watches that come from Amazon’s partner websites. In short, the watch arrived as I expected new in the original box with all docs including the warranty card and operating instructions. As others have mentioned, Omega might not acknowledge the warranty on this watch because it was not purchased through an authorized dealer. Instead, Amazon provides a 2-year warranty. I decided the price difference between amazon.com and an authorized dealer was significant enough to justify going with Amazon. The watch is 100% real with serial numbers intact. Overall, this is a beautiful watch; I’ve even received compliments on it from strangers. If you are looking for a full sized sports watch, I’d recommend this Omega; you won’t be disappointed.
