Re: Bond Watch?

In Response To: Bond Watch? ()

: My question is: Is this model considered a
: "Bond Watch"?

Now that Omega has introduced a second style in the Seamaster line, most of the skeleton-hand Seamaster Pros are being called the "Bond" watch. So, yes, close enough.

: I preferred the ss bezel and black face, so I
: had to special order it.

The face is not truly black on that model. None of the skeleton-hand "Bond" style models have ever been made with black dials.

It is actually a wave pattern of navy blue and dark blue-gray. It looks pretty black, but is exactly the same color dial as on the blue/blue "James Bond" model 2531.80. On that watch, the dial appears bluer because the blue bezel highlights the blue tones in the dial.

In a way, it is better than a true black, because it will look like whichever color is closest to what matches the clothes you are wearing!
