Awesome watch, substantial weight, illuminated hands work well in dark and timer permits monitoring allkinds of activities.Sweep second time important when setting time to escape. Had it shortened one section by a jeweler for $3.00

Omega never lets me down. When I got this watch, I was so excited. Everything seemed so wonderful.

I've had this watch for two years now and love it. It looks like a quality instrument but not ostentatious like a Rolex. I use all the features (timer, bezel)(not the helium pin which, for 99.9% of people, is a waste) routinely - if you don't, you could spend a lot less and get a similar watch without these features. Recently, my watch started losing time when I didn't wear it for 24 hours or more. I contacted Amazon and got a repair authorization without a problem. I shipped it to Swinford Jewelers in Kentucky. It took about 5 weeks to get it back (instead of the 2-3 promised) but it's working beatifully. They shined up the band and told me how it's possible, when you're not wearing an automatic watch, to prime the mechanism by rotating the stem so you don't lose the time.
You do have to be careful with the band. It doesn't take that much to scratch it. And since this is a BIG WATCH (heavy and thick), it sticks out more than some others. Also, I once took it off and put it in my pocket without closing the latch. When I took it out of my pocket, it wouldn't stay closed. The little pin that holds it closed somehow got off by a fraction of a millimeter when it was in my pocket. The band is not covered by the warranty but I was within the grace period so I returned it. Other than the above, (and maybe it would be nice if it had the day as well as the date), I can't fault the watch much (although I had the same problem with the first watch of its losing time if you don't wear it for much more than 24 - 36 hours)

This is an excellent watch. We bought it for my father in law and he loves it.

Bought this watch about 1 month ago. I literally wore this watch on one wrist and the submariner on the other wrist at my jewlers for about 1 hour trying to decide. Comfort, readability and style all won out and I bought the Omega Chrono Diver. This watch has an automatic movement with a 44 hour power reserve. Love the blue face and the skeleton hands are very unique and make using the chronograph a breeze and reading time very easy. This watch is very substantial/heavy so if you have small wrists it may not be the watch for your. Has great weight and balance to it. The watch looks classic, I wear it to work (dress slacks and button up shirt) and with jeans and a T-shirt it still goes well.I believe that for the price you would be hard pressed to do much better.

It is a beatiful watch, elegant and with a lot of personality. It has the right size and weight (the automatic one is heavier)
I recommened you to go first to a jewerly and see it by yourself; on person it is much better than the picture. Then if you like it buy it on internet; you can easily save more than $400 doing so.

One correction: this watch is not part of the James Bond series. Other than that, it is a beautiful piece of watchmaking. The photos on this page do not show the fine attention to detail Omega puts into this watch. Accurate to 99.99% (it will gain or lose 4 minutes/month), this is one truly classic watch. It is indeed heavy, but although it is 41 mm diameter it looks very sleek. I bought mine through Amazon, and delivery and service were great. Mine actually has the blue rubber strap, which I think looks better than the metal band. As a diver, it is great under water, where it is still very visible. The only other watch that I would put close to this one is the Rolex Submariner, which would be its peer. At half the price, the Omega is a great quality watch which, with a little care, will probably outlive me. My nephew has already requested it as inheritance, and with its classic, timeless look, I am sure he will be a proud owner once I pass it to him.

Well, I guess I was supposed to have this watch. I had always wanted a Seamaster Cronometer Automatic, but never saw myself spending this kind of money, not to mention the price at an authorized dealer. Amazon sent me an email a week or so ago that had special 12 months no interest on select watches. I looked and looked and finally pulled the trigger on this fantastic blue face large size automatic. Actually, I ordered on July 31, 2009 and for $6.99 extra with Amazon Prime had it at my door before 10:00 a.m. this morning. It's a good thing I took advantage of the offer, because as of today, the "12 months" offer is no more and the price has actually gone up!
I had somewhat of a concern by ordering a "gray market" watch, but I had ordered a Luminox ETA automatic from Amazon about 4 or 5 years ago and had good luck with it and also saved about $200.00.
I read all of the reviews here on Amazon and even went to watch forums such as www.timezone.com and read reviews. The folks on timezone appear to only purchase through authorized dealers. Fortunately by going to a forum I learned about some very important things surrounding the watch such as serial numbers and a little "red dot" that Omega applies to watches out of the factory. I had concerns about this and thought that if I saw anything suspicious that I could just return the watch to Amazon. Man was I happy after inspecting it! Sure enough, all of the serial numbers were there from the multiple cards that come with the watch to the little "medallions" that are tied to the watch upon opening. The watch itself has the laser engraved serial number in the appropriate place also. I had heard that some "gray market" watches do not come with everything, from what I have seen, my purchase from Amazon did. I realize that it can only be covered under warranty through Amazon, but by saving hundreds if not close to a "grand" that's fine with me.
Now to that little "red dot". Sure enough it is there and it acts as a tiny little "bridge" between the case and the screwed on case back. It tells you if anyone has opened the case since it came from the factory as the little dot will break upon opening the case. I guess if someone really wanted to take the time they could "paint" it back on, but it would be difficult as I'm not sure it's exactly paint.
This is the new "007" watch with the Co-Axial movement in it and it is super quiet! If I didn't know that it was an auto, I'd think it was a quartz. You can't feel it moving around either on your wrist.
The fit and finish of the watch is second to none. I'm really not sure why Rolex charges as much as they do, the Omega seems like a bargain actually, even though it's still an expensive watch. So far, as I write this review at 4:31 p.m., it seems to be keeping fine time. I'll have to wait and see how it is tomorrow. When I received my Luminox I had to take it and have it calibrated as it was way too fast upon arrival, it keeps perfect time now. I'm hoping that this Omega Chronometer will not need adjusting. You'd think since it is a "certified chronometer" that you would not need it, but I've read of several people having to have theirs adjusted, even folks that bought from authorized dealers.
I can see why this model is so popular, it's just a really fine time piece. Those luminous hands and hour markers as just as stated, they glow bright and for a long time!
I know that some say that they would NEVER buy "gray market", but I've always had excellent service with Amazon and since I had no issues with my first watch from them, I'm sure glad I took advantage of their offer and purchased this fine time piece! All in all, for the savings it was worth it and I'll continue to purchase my time pieces from Amazon.
Hope this review helps anyone with reservations about purchasing an expensive time piece from Amazon.
Take care
