Re: Which Seamaster Pro?
In Response To: Which Seamaster Pro? ()

: I am going to buy a Seamaster Professional
: Chronometer in stainless steel with steel
: bracelet...and nothing else; however, there
: are a few variations out there (dial,
: markers, bezel and bracelet). I look at the
: newer style and Bond style all day and I
: still cannot come to a proper decision. I
: like the metallic colour of the newer style
: but I am not too sure about the markers, I
: don't like the bezel though. The Bond
: version seems more elegant with more subtle
: markers, but it doesn't have that cool
: metallic face. My gripe with the Bond model
: is that the minute hand doesn't touch the
: "minuterie".

: Can anyone please help me with this decision?

Hi Evan,

2 years ago I bought the Bond model (2531.80). It's my special occasion watch. 2 weeks ago i upgraded my normal everyday watch to the new black dial/black bezel with rubber band omega seamaster chronometer (2954.50.91) I like it very much. It's more low key than the Bond model and you don't get as much attention as with the Bond model but it's more like the classic seamaster 300. You can't go wrong with either one. The european version of the new black dial/black bezel with stainless steel bracelet has the speedmaster bracelet. The US version has the same bracelet as the Bond model.
