The OMEGA Seamaster is the most popular gents watch in the world, originally famous due to the association with the 'James Bond, Goldeneye', it has established itself as a cornerstone of the OMEGA catalogue. This gorgeous reference takes all the DNA from the larger 41mm examples and packages it in a classic 36mm case, refined and in traditional gentleman's proportions. This specific reference is highly sought after because it features the updated Co-Axial chronometer movement with the classic pre-ceramic 'wave' dial. Now discontinued, this rare reference is a collectors favourite. 

 

This OMEGA Seamaster boasts a classic 36mm case, the same size as the coveted Rolex Datejust, the watch is sleek enough to fit under a shirt cuff while still bringing a defined wrist presence. My wrist is 6.5 inches and the photographs display how those dimensions work with this watch and convey how it works on a smaller wrist. If we cast our eye to the sleek black dial, it contrasts with the red Seamaster writing and applied OMEGA insignia. Looking closer, the sharpness of the hour markers and hands remain - this facelift dial features updated luminous plots such that they don’t patina with age like previous models. On the periphery of the case lies the scallop edged unidirectional rotating bezel, which turns with a crisp and satisfying click. Within the case itself beats an OMEGA Cal.2500 Co-Axial self-winding chronometer rated movement, which is supremely reliable and accurate - it will run for years without a second thought. Affixing the head of the watch to the wrist is the classic ‘Seamaster’ bracelet that shows no stretch whatsoever, secured to the wrist with a double-pinch release deployant clasp that fastens with a reassuring snap. There is a utilitarian date window, and a sapphire crystal glass for added peace of mind. Being a divers watch it can withstand depths of up to 300m, and is just as reliable in the boardroom as it is on the beach. 

 

As for the condition, it is excellent. There are signs of wear commensurate with gentle use, but the photographs speak for themselves. On the wrist it looks stunning. I have checked the timekeeping over 24 hours, and it is excellent. This piece was just routinely serviced and as such mechanically everything is working as it should.
