Love Omega Watches Nov 18, 2008
This is a beautiful watch, as are all watches made by Omega. Amazon sells them for 20% cheaper than any place I know of locally.
Torneau at the mall had it selling for list price, while amazon has it for $500 less. Great deal here, and no tax! All watches sold BY Amazon directly are genuine and authentic.
Make sure when buying such an expensive watch that the seller is reputable. I would highly advise buying these only from Amazon directly, and not through the Z shop. If you buy it from amazon, there is a 2 year limited warranty. I have copied and pasted the amazon warranty for everyone's convenience.
"The Amazon.com Two-Year Limited Watch Warranty
All of the watches from the Amazon.com Collection are genuine and authentic with serial numbers intact. We work hard to bring you high-quality products at competitive prices. Amazon is an authorized dealer of many brands of watches. As an authorized dealer, we can offer you a watch with the manufacturer's warranty in place. Amazon also buys watches from other authorized dealers, distributors, and other established lines of distribution within the watch industry. A benefit of buying through these alternative channels is that we are able to offer you a highly competitive price. The manufacturer's warranty on these watches may not be valid. In the case that the manufacturer's warranty is not valid, Amazon.com offers an industry-leading 2-year limited warranty to cover your watch.
What the Amazon.com Limited Two-Year Warranty Covers Our warranty will cover the watch in the event that it stops moving due to a defect in the watch's movement mechanisms. Before you try to service the watch, make sure that the battery hasn't died. Your watch will come with a warranty card listing the terms and conditions (as stated below) of the Amazon.com 2-Year Limited Warranty.
Warranty Terms
Duration and scope of the limited warranty: This limited warranty lasts for two (2) years from the date of purchase and covers watches purchased from Amazon.com LLC in the continental United States of America, Alaska and Hawaii.
THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE WE ARE NOT AN AUTHORIZED RESELLER OF THIS WATCH. THIS WARRANTY IS THE ONLY EXPRESS WARRANTY COVERING THIS WATCH AND WE DISCLAIM ANY LIABILITY UNDER THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY.
What is covered?
Amazon warrants that the internal movement mechanisms of the watch are free from defects.
What is not covered?
This warranty is limited and does not cover any damage to parts not used in the movement of the watch, including, without limitation, watch bracelets, straps, crystals, finish, batteries, crowns/stems, or cases. This limited warranty does not cover any damage (1) if there is evidence of excessive wear and tear, (2) if there is evidence of intentional or accidental misuse or abuse, including, without limitation, abuse related to servicing not carried out by authorized service centers, or (3) if used under conditions which exceed the watch manufacturer's water resistance guidelines.
Exclusions and conditions:
CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES ARE NOT RECOVERABLE UNDER THIS WARRANTY OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
In order to have coverage under this warranty, the serial number imprinted on the watch casing must be clearly legible and no part of the original watch back or original number has been removed, changed, altered, replaced, erased or defaced.
IF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS LONGER THAN THIS TWO-YEAR EXPRESS WARRANTY, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY IS LIMITED TO THE TWO-YEAR PERIOD OF THIS WARRANTY. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
How state law applies:
THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS, WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE.
What Amazon.com will do:
At Amazon.com's choice and cost, Amazon.com will have your defective watch repaired or replace your watch, or refund the amount that you paid for the watch to you.
How to get service:
To obtain instructions on how to obtain service under this warranty, contact customer service at 1 (866) 548-0880 or visit www.repairnow.com/amazonwatch. You are responsible for postage charges and any insurance for shipment to the service facility. The repaired watch will be returned to you at our cost if the return address that you provide is in the continental U.S., or Alaska or Hawaii, or at your cost if you provide a return address located outside the continental U.S., or Alaska or Hawaii. When you send the watch to the service facility, please include a brief description of the problem. "
The watches are much "prettier" in person. Keep in mind you will need to service these watches every 5 years (10 for the automatics), and service costs about $200+.

Fantastic watch, great build quality... Nov 11, 2008
This is a fantastic watch. Beautiful, great build quality - subtle & understated luxury. Not gaudy or flashing like some of the other luxury watches. The watch fits my wrist well. I really like the push button style clasp. I was very apprehensive about buying this watch from Amazon, but decided to give it a try due to all the positive customer feedbacks. I'm so happy that I did. I saved a bundle. The watch arrived the next day - all documentation was there - including the Omega certificate. I took the watch to my local watch shop and had the bracelet adjusted. Cost $15. All in all, I am very happy with this watch and with the Amazon buying experience.

James Bond is Back in Casino Royale Feb 25, 2007
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. The new 2006 model 2220.80.00 has several refinements that you should consider over the previous (but still available) model. 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 quartz version as model 2221.80.00.
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 with a true Swiss movement, this is the one.

Doesn't get much better than Omega Jan 16, 2007
The four true luxury watch companies (in my limited, but somewhat informed opinion) are Breitling, Cartier, Rolex and Omega. If you want a true luxury watch, buy a Omega! The 2220.80.00 is commonly known as the "Bond Watch" (as seen in the past four 007 movies). This Seamaster 300m Co-Axial Chonometer is a great luxury watch, stylish and manly. Be careful to learn about Authorized Dealers vs. "Grey Market" watches. ALL Omegas sold online are "Grey Market" since Omega does not allow internet sales, hence your warranty will probably not be honored by Omega directly but by some watch company (beware!). Want to learn more about luxury watches check out Timezone.com before buying to make sure you get the right watch. I got the watch for my 40th Birthday (Thanks Steve!) and I love it!
