Hehehe... something I got myself for Hari Raya...
If one needs a reason to buy watches, plenty can be found.
Contrary to the title, No... I did not take the watch from 007 himself, I bought this with cold hard cash...
Yup... it's the Seamaster 2220.80
From what is reported from the latest Baselworld, this particular model will get a change of design that will eliminate the blue wavy dial and replace it with a plain matte dial... so, this is the time to get these as the wavy dial is on the way out.
Powered by the 2500C which is essentially a 2892 modified by Omega to house it's Co-Axial Escapement.
Chronometer Certified and beats at an unconventional 25200bph... which is 7 beats per second.
It does show when you look closely at the sweeping seconds hand.
The dial is the updated with raised markers with lume encircled in silver.
3D look is the way to go.
The previous model has the dial painted with lume markers.
Some like painted, some like raised... for me, raised markers looks more classy and sophisticated as a whole.
No exhibition caseback for a diver rated 300m WR...
Nicely etched and surprisingly, when worn, feels flat... which is good.
Does not leave a mark when the watch is taken off the wrist.
The Omega globe etching is said to deter fakes... I dunno man, what is so hard about etching a globe on the caseback?
Screw in crown signed with an Omega logo and helium escape valve at 10.
Skeleton hands are unique to this model.
Makes looking at the time a breeze.
Wrist shot.
Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy it.
