The Omega Seamaster James Bond Edition is an excellent value for the money. Make sure you purchase it at a licensed Omega Watch Dealer or your warranty will not be valid.
The Seamaster has a steel case and steel bracelet. The crystal is a scratch proof sapphire crystal. After 3 years of owning the watch, it does not have a scratch. The crystal is coated on the inside to protect the dial. I have worn it daily in a variety of activities, including up in the mountains in snow, bodysurfing on sandy beaches, and trekking through dusty terrain. The steel case and bracelet have some scratches but still appear very sharp. The bracelet is solid and closes extremely well with a push button clasp.
The watch has a rotating bezel. The bezel is unidirectional and somewhat difficult to turn compared to other watches. My bezel has faded slightly after much time in the sun. If the bezel stops turning or is extremely difficult to rotate as mine was after a trip overseas (in very dusty conditions), you can take it to a watch shop and have them lubricate it. Do not try this yourself - it is messy and if you use the wrong lubricant it will coagulate and cause you more problems than you started with.
The Seamaster has a date window, second, minute and hour hand. I find that my watch (the Automatic with Chronometer) will lose a few seconds every day. I have to update the time for an approximate 5 minute discrepancy every month. The dial has luminous markers which are clearly visible at night. The dial also has a very pleasing wave pattern.
The back of the watch has the Seamaster logo and the wave pattern. This unique design prevents slipping when you wear the strap a little loose like I do. I have never used the helium release valve, but hope to soon.
This watch is discreet enough to not attract the wrong kind of attention. Also the watch is waterproof to a 1000ft, I've taken it to a fraction of that and found it reliable and easy to read underwater.
I would highly recommend this watch. It is casual enough to wear with shorts and a T-shirt and fits just as well with a Tuxedo.

I've owned this watch for 12 years, it actually first appeared in Goldeneye and not Casino Royale as previously stated by another reviewer.
I have worn this every single day for those 12 years and have twice sent it in for a replacement battery and a pressure test. It has never failed me in anyway whatsoever and although the case and bracelet are a little scratched up the sapphire crystal and face still looks the same as the day I bought it. It's on the small side but this watch is probably the best bang for your buck you'll find amoungst the swiss range of watches.
