Omega Seamaster Co-Axial Chronograph 42MM 2 extra straps 212.30.42.50.01.001 $4,600.00 CAD. 510-00229

Whenever we get one of these they usually don’t stick around for very long. The “James Bond” Seamaster 300 series has become one of Omega’s most iconic designs since it was introduced way back in 1993. Over the years specifications have changed but the basic format with that distinctive 9 segment link bracelet has been a constant. This example is the Seamaster co-axial chronograph 212.30.42.50.01.001. Our latest estate Seamaster is in very good condition. It appears to have only been worn occasionally as there are just superficial scuffs on the bottom of the bracelet, buckle, and polished sections of the case. It has never been refinished and remains in original condition. Powering this watch is Omega’s calibre 3330 and features co-axial escapement, column wheel chronograph with high tech silicone hairspring that is virtually impervious to strong magnetic fields. Screw down crown/case back, one way timer bezel, luminous hands/markers, calendar display, and of course a 12 hour chronograph should keep even a hardened watch geek entertained. When fitted with the original stainless steel bracelet the 42mm diameter watch weighs around 200 grams. The previous owner fit an Omega red rally strap to give it a more casual look and lighten the load a bit. With the rally strap in place the total weight dropped significantly to just 115 grams. If you’re a big guy or don’t mind a little bulk on your arm the Seamaster Diver 300 with the steel bracelet is definitely a watch you should check out. If addition to the rally this watch also comes with an Omega black and red nylon waterproof NATO strap. These straps offer the ultimate in security. The one piece design means even if you break a spring bar the watch stays attached to your wrist. The watch comes with an Omega travel capsule that is big enough to hold the 2 extra straps, original stainless steel bracelet, and plenty of replacement spring bars if you want to change the look while keeping everything organized. The jet black ceramic bezel is fade proof and many times harder than the old anodized aluminum inserts found on the early generations. A glossy black dial has replaced the old wave textured dial for a more sophisticated and mature look. Omega are still producing a Seamaster 300 Chronograph with a black dial on bracelet. They have returned to the wave dial making this model a little more unique. The current version is even larger at 44mm and carries a retail price of $12,200.00. Including Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers one year warranty and Omega box with instructions, the watch is priced at $4,600.00 CAD. Stock #510-00229.
