Amazon.com Product Description
Set a course for adventure with this classic Omega Seamaster 300M stainless steel men's automatic chronometer watch, part of Omega's James Bond collection. You'll be able to negotiate all manner of adventures and still look stylish in the boardroom or at the baccarat table. This highly accurate, self-winding timepiece is also a great diving watch, with water resistance to 300 meters (984 feet) and a helium escape valve, which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn in highly pressurized environments (such as long-term underwater work evading the bad guys). The large silver rhodium-plated case measures 41mm wide (1.61 inches) and it's complemented by a handsome stainless steel bracelet band. A blue elapsed time unidirectional bezel frames a wavy blue dial that includes luminous dotted hour markers, luminous-tipped skeleton hands, and a date window at 3 o'clock. Other features include a 48-hour power reserve and scratch-resistant and glare-proofed domed sapphire crystal. It's powered by Omega's break-through Co-Axial escapement. Developed in conjunction with master watchmaker George Daniels, it's based on double co-axial escape wheel, a lever with three pallet stones and impulse stone on the balance roller, together with a free sprung-balance. The Co-Axial escapement system reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement and thus ensures greater accuracy over time. This watch also features the Omega 2500 caliber automatic movement, which has been certified as a chronometer by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Control). Only 3 percent of watches produced in Switzerland are "chronometer-certified." To achieve this highly coveted certification, the movements are subjected to numerous tests over a period of 15 consecutive days and nights, in five positions and at three different temperatures.

Great watch, great service, great value June 10, 2010
Clark Jennison (New york, NY)
I received this watch for my graduation from an amazon seller called Timepiece Trading, and the service was incredible. The customer service was very helpful, they insured the Omega international warranty (which was very important to me) and everything is perfect. The watch itself is gorgeous: the blue waves are great looking, the luminescent hands and markers work even in the daytime and the bracelet is extremely comfortable. I highly recommend buying this watch especially from timepiece trading, because they are the only online dealer that actually has the OMEGA warranty, not some BS of their own.
one of the finest watches May 24, 2010

The automatic chronometer is one of the best watches ,I have bought.It has a co-axial movement and is chronometer certified a and hardly loses a few seconds in a month and automatic watches anyways are in vogue these days.This watch looks and feels gorgeous.highly recommended.
James Bond. My Choice March 1, 2010
Mr. Know all (MD, USA)
I have been looking at this watch for quite sometimes now. I was having difficulity deciding between the Automatic and Quartz versions. The advantage of this one is that I do not need to replace the battery every 1-2 years. Amazon seems to be out of stock for this one for quite sometimes now and I do not trust the third party sellers since buying from the internet void the Omega warranty.
I went to a local jeweler one day and it happens that they are having a sale. The local jeweler can be found as an authorized dealer on Omega and fully cover by the Omega warranty. I decided to bite the bullet and bought it. I am glad I did. Here are a few thought on the watch.
- The watch is very solid and robust
- The watch seem a little bit heavier then my previous watches
- The watch is very accurate so far. only 1 -2 sec runs faster then the atomic clock every day.
- The color and style stands out and it can be wear on any occasion. causal/dress suite
- This same exact watch worn by James Bond in Casino Royale when he was playig poker at the casino ( the beginning of the movie he was wearing the Seamaster Planet Ocean with rubber strap)
- According to omega you only need to service it every 4- 5 years for normal use.
- Bracelet has a quick extension feature to accomodate diver wetsuit.
a few things to keep in mind - note these are not negative thoughts
-Like any automatic watch it will not be always accurate. Many owners on the Internet have reported their Seamasters often far exceed COSC standards in daily use. Be prepare to adjust the time every now and then. In reality we have the adjust twice a year for day light saving time anyway. I do not mind at all
- May need to manually wind it if you dont wear it for long period of time. I recommend buying a watch winder for people who wear the watch occasionally.
- the helium relief vaulve is useless in my opinion even with the any form of normal suba diving. but it is a unique feature to the watch so I dont mind.
- may be expensive to service the watch and may require sending it to authorized omega repair center.
Over all this is an excellent watch. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a watch in this price range
 Nice watch but a bit overrated caliber. October 31, 2009

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."
Solid simple Mechanical Watch no Lasers October 5, 2009

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.
