Price:
$1,435.00 USD

🧭 Character
The Omega Seamaster Professional 300M has been a mainstay in the brand’s lineup for decades, celebrated for its distinctive wave dial and rugged dive-ready build. The 2561.80 offers all the style and presence of the automatic model but in a slimmer, ultra-reliable quartz configuration — perfect for those who value grab-and-go precision.

With a 36mm stainless steel case and 300m water resistance, it’s as capable underwater as it is comfortable under a cuff. The rich blue wave dial, luminous sword hands, and scalloped bezel make it instantly recognizable as a Seamaster — a design that’s aged flawlessly since its 1990s debut.

This example is in good pre-owned condition, keeping precise time, and comes watch only with the bracelet sized for a 7-inch wrist.

🧑🎤 Celebrity Provenance
While this mid-size quartz version wasn’t the exact model worn on-screen, it shares the same case design and dial details as the Seamaster Professional 300M famously worn by Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in GoldenEye and the following three 007 films. It’s a more discreet way to wear a Bond watch without the added bulk.

🕵️ Story
The mid-size quartz Seamaster 300M was designed as a practical yet stylish alternative to its automatic sibling. Offering the same helium escape valve, screw-down crown, and robust build quality, it became the go-to for travelers, professionals, and divers who valued Omega heritage with the convenience of battery power.

Case #0033 is a strong, good-condition example that retains the full Bond-era Seamaster look — an accessible entry point into the Omega dive watch legacy.
