I bought this watch and love it. And this video by Tim was a big factor in selling me on the watch. By the way, I ran into Tim at the Patek Phillipe show in NYC a couple of months ago and he couldn't have been nicer and more informative. The man is walking, talking watch encyclopedia.

How is it running after all these years ?

This is the watch that can beat the Sub, they should keep this, continue the line and improve it over time.

Saw this watch on your website the other day and had to have it. Was my first time buying a luxury watch and Nicholas (I think that was his name) made it a very easy experience. He answered every question without having to ask a supervisor. Even answered questions outside of his area when I asked about how Affirm worked. Will definitely call again for my next watch and would recommend Watchuwant to anyone looking for a luxury watch. The only bad thing which is not really bad because it protects both parties is when they get a watch they hold it and monitor it for 3 days to ensure it is working correctly. I bought this watch so soon after it was placed online that I have to wait out the three days before it ships. I was told however, it will ship overnight express by Fedex. They will treat you right so check these guys out.

Fantastic review Tim! Definitely one to add to the collection.

+Mudgeeey Thank you! I think this is a great candidate for any collection. It's rare to be able to buy a watch that you *know* will be just as relevant, stylish, and devastatingly cool in fifty years. With this and the Speedy Pro, I'd say Omega now has at least two such watches in its catalog, and that's two more than most of today's manufacturers can boast. Best, Tim

I love this piece....another great video Tim!

+logwind It's a great movement both aesthetically and technically. From a visual standpoint, Omega did a great job of differentiating the 8500/8400/9300 from the mass of machine-finished calibers on the market. Even more impressive, they imagined a distinctive finishing style that sets the Master Co-Axials apart even from the million different ETA calibers being sold within the Swatch Universe. And from a technical standpoint, the 8500 (launched 2007) and its progeny (like the 8400 here) are regarded as the movements that forced Rolex into a serious reality check towards the end of the 2000s. I guarantee you that Rolex upgrades like Siloxi, the new 70-hour 3255 Day-Date, LIGA gears, and other major mechanical innovations were launched or accelerated specifically in response to these ETA/Omega monster machines. Best, Tim

How did you get the watch with brushed center links? I can only find this watch with polished center links other than on the spectre edition.

Great review. Omega does make high standard watches.

@the1916company

8 жыл бұрын

+Stutz Edward They offer value that nobody matches. The quality of these Master Co-Axial Seamasters is the best in the industry for the money. From a feature standpoint, nobody offers more in this price range. In terms of real technical innovation, ETA's muscle and sophistication is unstoppable when Swatch chooses to unleash it. If Richard Mille launched a 60-hour *amagnetic*, free-sprung, co-axial escapement, twin-barrel, COSC-chronometer, hacking, automatic movement, it we'd be talking about a six-figure watch. And that's before adding the princely bracelet and clasp quality, the ceramic bezel, and the huge array of accessories that Omega ships with some of these watches. High standard watches, and a great value compared to anything out there. Best, Tim

How do you size this bracelet? It looks like most of the links do not contain screws to remove them?

I'm right now planning on getting this if i can't get the Spectre Seamaster 300...

Great review! May I ask why you chose this one instead of the trilogy seamaster?

Contemplating moving my Pelagos LHD for one of these. Decisions, decisions...

Hi Tim, cool info on the different kinds of lume - haven't seen that mentioned in any other review. Hands down and not considering the price difference, would you prefer this one or the Blancpain Bathyscaphe (the model you reviewed)? Cheers, Dan

+Daniel T. Müller My guess is that you'd go for the Omega. :-) In the Bathyscaphe review I sensed you like the Cadillac FF better.

is the bracelet fully brushed ?is this an spesial edition vs the one with polished centerlinks ?

Being a dealer of Omegas, can you help with the question of why the heck Omega refuses to incorporate micro adjustments in their clasps? I love Omega watches but this is a point that bugs me to death.

did you like this one more then spectre version?

brushing those links is a disastrous disservice to this once beautiful watch formally finished by Omega

5:06 Technically its stage left or camera right. Always great reviews though.

Best watch on the market

I like the diver 10 minute increment bezel better than the Specter one, which does not have any practical usage. But I like the Bond Specter lollipop hand better. Can't have it all ...

The markings on the dial resemble that of Railmaster

Tim, enjoying the vids. Thx. I'm very concerned about magnetization of my mechanical movements. My opinion, based on research and a background in engineering, is that (1.) these watch movements contain some paramagnetic,non-ferrous materials which do indeed become magnetized, and (2.) the Gauss unit of measurement is measuring something different altogether from the Ampere/meter (A/m) unit used by other watchmakers. It's not something that can be explained here, but if you look into it, Gauss is the wrong way to measure magnetic resistance.

+SteamPunk Thanks, SteamPunk. Are you referring to the eternal battle between H, B, standing, induced, and the ultimate definition of anti-magnetic watches? This is a serious matter that deserves a very specific, technical answer, but the best I can do in short is to assure you that at the very least, Omega has evaluated this watch against both electronically induced and permanent magnetic forces. Whether the ultimate marketing pitch of the watch references Tesla, A/M, Oersted, or Gauss, the assurance I've received from those close to ETA is that the >15,000 Gauss watch has been proofed *generally* against a broad range of magnetic threats. The marketing language has been simplified, and the technical lingo has been chosen to conform to the ISO specifications describing an anti-magnetic watch (764 specifies A/M), but the new Si14 Omegas truly are best described as *amagnetic* and resistant to any form of magnetization. There are ferrous materials in portions of these movements, but the ferrous elements have been eradicated from components that could have a material impact on timekeeping. Best, Tim

You're not gonna get a more antimagnetic watch anywhere else dude. Like, this is the peak of the pyramid on that front regardless of your concerns. The watch is certified for over 15,000 gauss, there was a conference in Florida where they tested it against all other antimagnetic watches, hands down after all tests it was the last one still standing, and it even withstood almost 80,000 gauss (an MRI goes up to 30,000). So if that's not good enough then just don't wear a watch at all.

Does anyone know if this style Seamaster will get an updated movement like the new Seamaster 300?

Thinking of getting this as my first ever omega watch. May i know what price range is the best bargain that i must try to find? Thx for the info

This watch is almost a perfect watch, in my opinion. The only problem is the lugs... They just jut straight out instead of curving down to wrap your wrist. Watch looks insanely goofy on a smaller wrist. If they fixed that, or if the blackbay 58 had a ceramic bezel. That would be the king watch.

+jakobus Maximus For what it's worth, the rate deviation results that this watch got in a WatchTime magazine a few months ago was absolutely insane. Something around +/- 1 second a day average through all positions (maybe even a little less). It's one thing when someone tells you their watch only gains a second, but when a machine/publication verifies it, its pretty impressive.

@the1916company

8 жыл бұрын

+1989osu This is true, and that WatchTime sample watch wasn't a ringer. We test every watch that we receive for proposed purchase before we choose to add it to our inventory, and no family of movements has come close to the Omega cal 8400/8500/9300 family. These movements routinely run deviation rates of less than one second per day. That's for watches testing in *six* positions, not the cakewalk 3-position test that some watchmakers use. Well-tuned Rolex movements tend to run +2-4 seconds per day, and only hyper-exotic pieces (JLC Master Tourbillon are one example; the AP Escapement is another) tend to test in this range. Best, Tim

Patek using decade(s) old Lemania movements up until very recently, Rolex using basically the same movements for decades with very minimum improvement.
