The new OMEGA Seamaster Professional 300m

Reference 2230.50.00 - Steel on steel with white gold bezel

Reference 2236.50.00 - Mid-size steel on steel with white gold bezel

The huge popularity of the limited-edition Seamaster watch produced for the America's Cup 2000 has led OMEGA to include this elegantly styled Seamaster in its standard collection.

It features the self-winding calibre Omega 1120, enhanced with circular-graining and "côtes de Genève" decorative patterns and a rhodium-plated finish; chronometer certificate issued by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Authority (COSC). Its case is water-resistant to 300 meters and fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel featuring an 18-carat white gold ring with raised markers. Screw-locked setting crown and case back. Helium escape valve. Anti-reflective, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Black, wave-patterned dial featuring with large, luminous hour markers. Skeleton hands coated with a luminescent compound. Available with a stainless steel bracelet with safety clasp or with an integrated rubber strap fitted with a steel deployment clasp.

The US model number for the full size is 2030.50.00 and does have the old style "Bond" bracelet. Cost is $2695 MSRP, same as the America's Cup.
