According to Omega, "OMEGA’s sporty Seamaster collection is a tribute to the brand’s maritime legacy. This exquisite example of our renowned watchmaking pays homage to OMEGA’s dive watch heritage and our adventurous pioneering spirit."
This newer style 300m, ref. 2285.80, has the bolder dial with large luminous markers. Unlike the James Bond watches it has an embossed polished bezel.
The case measures 30.5mm in diameter including the guards but excluding the crown.
Its large luminous hands and hour markers against its black dial make it easily legible at all times, and the rotating bezel and helium escape valve are designed for true diving uses. It was originally designed to be water resistant to 1,000 feet.
It has a quick-setting hour for easy changing of the time zone and date.
Powering the watch is its original Omega precision quartz movement with end of life battery indicator.
In its pre-owned form, it's an excellent value, providing greater quality and attention to detail than is often found in watches in this under $2000 price range.
It is all original and presents in gorgeous condition, at nearly new levels. The case is just short of perfect mint, and the unpolished bezel still retains all of its original factory applied satin. The bracelet is essentially as tight as new.
Our photos couldn't do it justice.
As a whole, it presents as about a 9.5 or 9.6 out of a perfect 10 with very light remnants of wear underneath the lugs. On the wrist, it presents like new.
A Master Watchmaker has performed any needed servicing and replaced the battery. For the finishing touch, it has been meticulously detailed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a new two-year C.O.T. international warranty on the movement and its function and a C.O.T. Certificate of Authenticity.
