 James Bond Style at an Affordable Price February 24, 2007

I received this watch 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.
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 model 2531.80.00 and mid-size model 2561.80.00. The new 2006 models 2220.80.00 and 2222.80.00 mid-size have several refinements that you should consider over the previous (but still available) models. Most notably, the automatic movement now has the newly designed Co-Axial escapement. The Co-Axial Technology reduces sliding friction compared with the lever escapement in the previous model and ensures greater accuracy over time. More importantly, it doesn't require servicing for 10 years versus 2-3 years in the previous model. Servicing a luxury watch like Omega can be expensive. 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 a less expensive quartz version as model 2221.80.00 and mid-size 2223.80.00 offered here, which is the watch I purchased.
The other big change 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.
If you desire a James Bond series watch at an affordable price, this is the one.

Not only is the watch very sturdy and good looking, but if I ever spend three days in a diving bell breathing helium, I'll look forward to experimenting with the helium release valve during my ascent to the surface. It will be good to be sure that such a nice watch will not get the bends and pop its crystal. Very nice watch. Very highly recommended.

I've owned this watch for 12 years, it actually first appeared in Goldeneye and not Casino Royale as previously stated by another reviewer.
I have worn this every single day for those 12 years and have twice sent it in for a replacement battery and a pressure test. It has never failed me in anyway whatsoever and although the case and bracelet are a little scratched up the sapphire crystal and face still looks the same as the day I bought it. It's on the small side but this watch is probably the best bang for your buck you'll find amoungst the swiss range of watches.
 Omega says this watch sold online is not Genuine/fake December 30, 2009

I bought this watch recently sold by Amazon...I was curious to check the authenticity of the watch and sent the serial no to Omega watches. They replied back saying that this might be fake and there is no record of this bought or sold in U.S. So basically say this is fake...I am contacting AMAZON support now
