Save $600 - Omega Midsize Seamaster Quartz "James Bond" Watch #2223.80.00 Review

Presenting a classic design fused with innovative details, this Omega Midsize Seamaster Quartz Watch #2223.80.00 features a rich blue dial face, which is encased and protected by a scratch-resistant-sapphire dial window. Bringing easy readability, an alternating series of indexes and index beads adorn the dial, and a handy date calendar rests at the three o'clock position. Indexes and Arabic numerals grace the unidirectional, metal bezel, for an eye-catching contrast, and the 36.25-millimeter case is made of stainless steel. The band, also stainless steel, comes equipped with a fold-over-push-button clasp to ensure easy wearability. Built tough to accommodate your adventurous lifestyle, this striking timepiece brings your sporty style a sophisticated twist. Powered by Swiss-quartz movement, this watch is water resistant up to 984 feet.
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.
