 Omega Men's Seamaster Chronometer Watch #2531.80.00 By: Omega Average Rating: 5.0 Total Reviews: 13 More Information Cool, awesome, excellent quality, well worth the money  On: 2007-08-30I have now had this watch for 10 years exactly. For the first eight years I hardly ever took it off. I wore it going sailing, swimming, working around the house, in the gym, just about everywhere. I have a couple of other ones, less expensive ones, and I am amazed how much this watch can take as far as abuse compared to the less expensive ones. Since I took it everywhere, its been dropped, scratched, abused etc. This watch, as all Omegas, will go where ever you go and always tick. It wont let you down. After all these years, it runs 1 minute slow per week. I need to bring it to a qualified shop to lube the "joints". You already know that a real Omega will look great on you. Its expensive, yes, but its so worth it. Treat yourself, you deserve it. It will last a lifetime. ! , !! On: 2007-04-26! , ! , ! , ! PS: YOU WILL NEED A 007 DECODER TO READ THIS REVIEW. HINT: (TRY RUSSIAN) :) ENJOY!! Don't Sleep On the Omega On: 2007-01-08An absolute amazing watch, hands down one of the best bangs for your buck. An amzing piece of machinery at a great price. Not to mention, its James Bonds first choice. Christmas present viewing guide On: 2007-01-08This was my Christmas present. Since then its only been off for rinsing in soapy water (use a toothbrush on the band) after snorkeling, and for letting the jeweler adjust and engrave the band. It loses less than a second a day, so next Christmas I will unscrew the crown and pull it to position 3 to set it ahead 5 minutes. It is more accurate than my battery fueled wristwatch which requires a new 5 year battery every 2 years. Position 2 is used for setting the date (should be done between 2am-8pm). Position 1 is used for winding and from here press the crown then screw in for watertightness. The helium escape valve is only used during decompression to prevent the diffused helium of the diving bell from pushing out the sapphire crystal. A spring and 2 gaskets allow the gas to escape as the interior pressure becomes greater than the exterior pressure during decompression. You can hold it next to your ear and shake your head to hear and feel the selfwinding mechanism. If you happen to be James Bond this valve, the rotating bezel and crown have additional functions. For the best closeups here is a viewing guide: 1) Goldeneye DVD 1:51:07 006 and 007 compare Seamasters. 2) Tomorrow Never Dies 1:41:24 bomb/detonator, title sequence shows inner mechanism. 3) World Is Not Enough 1:04:29 shoots hook and wire 4) Die Another Day 3:20 and 8:36 bomb/detonator 5) Casino Royale - No lingering closeups, but plenty of screen time with the stainless steel band and also an excellent rubber wristband. This movie resembles Flemings characters and plot more than any other. I must be getting old because I find myself staring at the Seamaster instead of the Bond girls. Next time an Aston Martin rolls into a beach restaurant parking lot and sends Pierce Brosnan in to stand behind us and order fish I will feel like a secret agent also. Previously I had a prejudice opposed to people with a penchant for jewelry and tattoos, but a mere watch has changed all that and I have acquired a tolerance for those with different beliefs and appearances and an understanding of the virtue of acceptance of others. Excelente producto On: 2006-12-15Tengo dos años de tenerlo, perfectas condiciones, no falla, el cristal de zafiro lo hace practicamente irrompible. la mejor compra Amazing!!! On: 2006-07-22I just got my Omega Seamaster and I am very happy about it. I am a 007 fan and just love watches. I was wondering about an Omega and this fits my wishes! If you have the money do not think twice! Amazing!!! On: 2006-07-21I just got my Omega Seamaster and I am very happy about it. I am a 007 fan and just love watches. I was wondering about an Omega and this fits my wishes! If you have the money do not think twice! Awesome Watch, but Buyer Be Ware On: 2006-07-15Ive owned the Omega 2531.80 for two years now and love it. My first week owning it, I accidentally scraped the face against a cinder block wall and not even a tick. I was amazed!! Just be careful where you buy. If you read the fine print here, you do get a great price, but the warranty is from the seller, not Omega. Omega will only warranty watches they know the source of through authorized dealers. Excelente reloj, muy hermoso On: 2006-07-06Mi Omega Seamaster 2531.80.00 lo compre hace ya seis años, y sigue siendo igual de espectacular que cuando lo compre. Realmente es un bello reloj. Lo uso todos los dias. Lo unico es que despues de mas de 30 horas sin moverse el reloj se detiene, por el asunto del pulso. Pero si es mejor que tenerlo con bateria. Tambien despues de varios años, el reloj tiene un atraso de varios segundos por dia. Igual me lo compraria otra vez. Me encanta el modelo.

A fine crafted time piece On: 2006-06-12Ive always wanted a fine watch, not just something that kept good time but a piece a craftsman had put his skill into and would be proud of. A friend who works with watches recommended an Omega and in particular an Omega with an automatic movement. The Seamaster fills all those recommendations. A beautifully crafted time piece rugged enough to work with me everyday and cool enough to hang at the club while dealing chemin de fer. Excellent piece for any Omega fan On: 2006-03-08Have had this timepiece for a year now. It sustains accuracy of -1 sec per day. Sometimes it is -.3 sec a day. Beautiful piece. Excellent tough movement, one of the best non-coaxial movements Omega customizes. I personally do not know who actually cares for the release valve. You will be dead diving that deep before you use that thing :-) but I guess it adds beauty to the design. Great watch and one of the most affordable Omega pieces. Where beauty and quality meet On: 2006-02-25The Omega Seamaster Chronometer is an extremely handsome watch. I love the classic design as well as the compliments I receive while wearing it. For those debating on this watch and quartz version, I recommend the automatic over the quartz for the simple fact that you dont need to send the watch to Omega to replace the battery and I like the "sweeping movement" of the second hand compared to the "ticking" movement of the quartz. While the watch is a lot of money, it is truly an heirloom I can proudly pass to my son someday. Excellent watch On: 2006-01-06This is an excellent watch. If you have the money and you need a heavy duty watch for diving, this is the one. It also happens to be the one James Bond uses in the last 4 movies. An added plus if you are a James Bond Fan. Chronometer for sure. On: 2005-06-05Not only is this a beautifully finished watch, its accuracy is outstanding, mine averaging about -.5 seconds per day or less. The bracelet has a wonderful fine jewelery quality finish and a very solid click when it locks closed. The divers extension is well executed. The case finish is also outstanding with a nice blend of brushed and high polish. The subtle Geneva wave dial adds interest without busy-ness and the red tip on the second hand is just the right accent. Luminosity is quite good, although not up to the Seiko almost-need-sunglasses brightness. If you want a quibble, the bezel rotation is a little tough due to the rounded edges on the outside offering no good gripping surface. Overall, for finish, style and timekeeping the Seamaster Pro with the 1120 movement would be a strong competitor for the Rolex Submariner even if their prices were reversed Chronometer for sure.
