What are People Saying About the Seamaster 300 M Chronometer?
Get the Skinny!
Before making a purchase it's always a good idea to find out what people are saying about the product. Here you can read some actually customer reviews from people that have bought the Seamaster 300 M Chronometer:Stays to within +1 second a day, even fully wound or near the 44-hour power reserve
limit (although I've seen it unwind fully in 48 to 50 hours, amazing). There is plenty
on the web concerning Omega watches, the Seamaster series, Omega caliber 1120, and the ETA
2892-A2 movement (with 23 jewels as modified by Omega). Not bad for a Swatch Group
watch! Don't let the Rolex's fool you; they're very good, but you get more bang for your buck
with Omega. The 'grey market' pricing through amazon is brilliant, and I have a local
jeweler who can service the watch as if it is under Omega warranty. The clasp does get
a bit scratched up, naturally, and the bezel is uniquely somewhat hard to turn,
but it works well when needed. This watch ROCKS!! and is a nice complement to a good quartz watch, like Seiko or Citizen.
My review is only of the watch, because Amazon have changed the supplier several times, so who knows how packaging and service may vary.
As for the watch, it is just stunning. The photograph does nothing to show the beauty of this classic timepiece.
Sadly Omega are moving upscale with their fancy Coaxial movements and higher prices. This particular watch is no longer produced by Omega, so when it's gone, it's gone.
Only got mine today, and still loving it. Think I will for many years to come.
It's not too big, not too small. Very comfortable, heavy but not stupidly so. The Super Luminova (glow in the dark) markings are very bright giving you perfect visibility of the time.
The movement is tried and tested, and has proven to be highly successful. So it's accurate, beautiful, and rugged. If you want a diver's watch with an interesting look, this is a great choice.
I purchased the 2255.80 directly from Amazon, not through a 3rd party. The watch is widely reviewed all over the net and is a masterpiece, so I'll comment only on the specific characteristic of purchasing directly from Amazon, something I debated at length (again, not through a third party, I bought directly from Amazon):
In a nutshell, the watch comes exactly as it would from an authorized dealer (AD) but does not come with the warranty card you'd get from an AD which allows the watch to be serviced by Omega should anything go wrong. Instead, you'd ship back to Amazon. I figured the probability of something going wrong with the watch within the first two years was incredibly low anyway, so it made sense to purchase from Amazon, where the savings was an order of magnitude greater than most ADs. The piece itself was flawless with all correct serial numbers and red dot intact on the caseback.
In the future I would again purchase a fine time piece from Amazon because the savings is incredible and the watch itself comes exactly as it would from any other AD source, just with different warranty characteristics you're unlikely to have to use anyway.
