Actually, the James Bond character wears the Planet Ocean model...not the Seamaster. Two very nice timepieces you have though. Both competent, durable and prestigious... I'm partial to the Omega though.
@Woupy111 I know nothing about them actually. I know vintage models can be very expensive. I'm into Ball watches right now, and I'm always browsing other off brands that are making a quality product for less money than the mainstream. That said, I still want a Rolex Submariner.
@Woupy111 I haven't looked at Oakley prices, but I'd never pay more than $500 for a quartz watch with certain Breitlings being an exception. You can get a tough-as-nails Seiko automatic diver for less than $300, or if you're spending $1000 or more I'd look at a Ball. If you want a super tough watch that's automatic look for a preowned Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon. All Ball's have tritium indicators that glow constantly no light needed, like Luminox but much nicer.
Like the knowledge friend, you know your stuff. i'm looking to buy a seamaster 300m auto chrono, just interested what you said about the chrono part. I've not heard of any problems with these which you said there was. i prefer the look of the chrono but you've put a bit of doubt in my mind.please explain.......
@mba2ceo well put, it's one of few pieces of jewelry that we can appreciate let alone, keep for a lifetime and more, unlike a purse. i love my seamaster professional. and i'll be buying my breitling superocean gmt soon!
very good review only person on youtube who says the release valve is a stupid feature which it is. i do feel these watches are overpriced. i havea hamilton khaki
automatic which i purchased for £360 in the uk. its a beautiful watch with a 25 jewell
Very nice review! The only thing: you said that Omega seamaster doesn't have AR whereas Breitling does, but seamaster actually has AR but it's on inner side of sapphire.
Nice... I would like to get a decent swiss-made watch in the future. I tend to have similar tastes - no gaudy looking "bling" watches. No chronographs and timers. I'm not timing horse races. I just want a nice, high quality watch. Even if I could afford a Rolex, I probably wouldn't get one because people will always wonder if it's a fake, or real. Your comments on the quartz movement are interesting. I didn't know that it's the most accurate movement. I may as well just get a Seiko...
@mscmatt I have a Seiko quartz its great, they make decent automatics too. Depends on whats important to you, looks or accuracy. Side by side any Swiss watch is much much nicer.
@mscmatt Seiko makes good watches. A lot of their diver watches would be mistaken for either of the watches shown in this video by the lay person. And that's for a third or a quarter of the price.
Nice watches. I have an Omega myself and love it. There is one thing I would like to say and I am not sure if someone said something already or not; Omega was founded in 1848. It is actually an older company than Breitling. You did not say Breitling was the oldest nor that Breitling was older than Omega; but you sort of gave that implication. I just wanted to let you know as an FYI though. Good video anyway.
I'm thinking about selling my Breitling Steelfish XP (almost the same as your Superocean) for an Omega PO 42mm. But it's a tough choice. Got the quartz version Seamaster as my everyday wearer, and love it. Thanks for the juxta on those two watches!
Great watches. Omega Co-axial is my absolute favorite. Your conversation is easy to understand and you presented it well. My only criticism is the camera which is unable to close focus or macro zoom.
@turbo311 i was just being stupid i know the co axial because ive worked on them and i dont think the co axial really makes a diferance to the escapements accuracy
@UltraViolence14 oh I see. If you've worked on them you should know it's not intended for accuracy but longevity. From what I've heard it basically doubles the service interval from every 5 years to every 10, less wear from half the friction.
@turbo311 yes thats true but they take a good 30-40 mins to oil and if not oiled correctly youl need to service the co axial more regularly dont get me wrong tho Omegas are awesome watches and own a speed master my self
@damthatriver09 Depends on which movie and when. In every Pierce Brosnan 007 he wears the blue one. When it's Daniel Craig, he starts out with a Planet Ocean then switches to the Seamaster and I can't remember if it's blue or black.
@schmutzgreiffer I don't like replicas no matter how accurate they are. I like authenticity. Not gonna get it anytime soon. Going to have to wait a few years to find the new Sub on the used market.
@schmutzgreiffer yeah true. I get annoyed with all these people who think they need it or have actually used it. There's a reason the Rolex Submariner still doesn't have one. And I know everyone thinks Rolex is snobbery and typical, but I like the Sub, especially the new one!
@chronodiver300 Yeah I know but that's what makes the Breitling cool its the underdog, one of many, I miss it a lot. I usually hate bling, but I miss that tasteful full polish case and bracelet.
@kcmo208 I don't know the model number I'm pretty sure its the 2008 model year, last before they changed it. Most of the changes I can see are just the hands and face. I'd be happy with either. I miss mine now that it's gone.
This is the second time I watched this review. It's funny, you and I both have the same taste about watches. These two are the ones I've been most interested in the last years and I also don't like chronographs.
This week I'm picking up a brand new Co-Axial Seamaster with the black dial. Nice detail: It has anti-reflective coating on the inside.
@airborne101st45 what's down that deep that you're diving for? And explain to me how if you're at 100m and your watch is submerged in water with you, that helium or any gas is penetrating the crystal....?
@airborne101st45 What type of underwater environments are you looking at? Compressed helium is not present in a watch case until it penetrates the edges of the crystal in a compressed air environment like a dive bell. It then needs to be vented when decompressing in a hyperbaric chamber. Water pressure cannot dissolve gases into the watch, but will only compress whatever gas is present when submerged, which doesn't need to be vented when decompressed because the volume remains constant.
yeah dats a good option. ur watch seems to be in very gud condition. i can get it if u r willing to sell it.. can u tell me details abat it..i mean cards,box etc etc.. and how much u want for it?? thanx :))
one thing to ask?? i want to get a seamster pro 300m in blue.. u said it retails around 3000 usd..so do u get any discount on it ?? i mean how much discount should i expect if i buy it from a retailer??
I don't know but yes I'm sure you could get a discount. I financed mine same as cash through Tourneau so I had to pay retail price. I'll sell you mine if you want.
I really love your review. Your really good at it. We get and lot of information, and we really get to the watches. i would really like if you could make some more reviews of some of your other watches. That would be REALLY great !!!!
Thanks! I've been getting some nasty posts on here about it. I know I made some erroneous statements and I should edit or redo the vid, but I'm too lazy. I just delete the jerks.
He wears my watch now. Omega seamaster co-axial chronometer professional. Cool watch. Love it dearly.Certified for 600m/2000Ft wich is ridiculous for anybody, but an interesting peice of knowledge.
@turbo311 Yes my dad had it for about a year because he's inlove with the movies and gave it to me and ended up getting a rolex... maybe I will get that one too. :) nice watches
I was correcting you. I thought you said in the movt in the Seamaster is the NEWER co-axial movt. You may not have been talking about the Cal 8500. Sorry if I made a mistake.
You are wrong my friend. The Co-Axial movt is not a modified ETA 2892 A2. First off, the Breitling uses a modded 2824-2 which is a much lower end movt than the one that Omega used when it WAS using the ETA 2892 A2. ETA claims the 2892 A2 is by far the best movt they have ever produced. Yes,Omega modded the ETA movt but it is so modded that it can surely be called an in-family movt rather than in-house. Now, the cal. 8500 co-axe is an ih-house movt, it is not a rebadged ETA movt.
nice. i've got the "saphire sandwich" omega speedmaster professional. great watch. up next is the seamaster planet ocean chronograph. saving the pennies as i type.
thanks. Raymond Weil is like a Lexus. Regular people think they're the tits, but the enthusiasts know it's no BMW. I'd spend extra for a true Swiss automatic, not quartz.
8500 performance updateA few people asked me to report back in a few months after breaking the watch in. So I have two quick updates:
(1) This watch keeps PERFECT time, over a long period of time. I started wearing it again after a brief hiatus two weeks ago. It has neither gained nor lost a single second since then. The 8500 movement appears to be more accurate than quartz.
(2) My "collection," such as it is, contains two very popular, more expensive, superficially more prestigious models
i,ve had my Omega seamaster for 9 years, wear it every day for work,sports diving,it never let me down,keeps good time, and still looks great..i,ve owned other high spec watches in the past and all have let me down apart from the Seamaster..best watch ever for me.
Am I? I'm sure that youtube is the closest you will ever be to a watch that isn't available at a local target or walmart. Enjoy your collection of blue light specials and feel free to continue to make the most of youtube, which in your case is broadcasting yourself as a moron.
By what definition?1.) I could careless where you are from. 2.) From reading your comments, I notice you just try to argue, you have no valid standpoints which brings me back to my original point I made to you, that you are an arrogant moron. 3.) Its not that Americans do not know where Norway is, it is just that Norway is of little significance to a country like America. Unless you have something other than try again for any of the 3 reasons I listed that you should just shut up, don't comment.
USA is not exactly one of the smartest countries in the world. But however I am not trying to argue you, I just find it suprising how senseless you are by the remark that "fag with limited vocabulary".
I am not an arrogant moron, I just find people like you to be stupid, and I am sure I'm not the only one.
I wont even go into the whole "Norway is of little significance to the mighty and powerful US of the A" thing but I am glad that you chose the right president this time.
Senseless? you who jumps into a conversation without reading the entire dialogue. If you go back, notice that I wasn't the one who called him a fag. I added that he has limited vocabulary for making the notion that "only fags where omega". Secondly, Americans may not be the smartest, but it is your country spending 1.2 billion on a new satellite when you have close to a million infected by swine flu. Oh yea, and for handing out 60 more million for our "right president" to receive the Nobel.
yo dude i am thinking of giving myself a "university" present (im in grade 12 right now) but when i graduate im thinking of getting a breitling seawolf do you have any experiences or thoughts on the watch? BTW im going to Michigan university................
No experience with that one. Go to a store that has a good selection and spend some time looking at them and decide what you can afford and what you like the most. You may end up liking the Navitimer more in person than the Seawolf or the Seawolf will be confirmed your favorite. Best of luck with school.
I mean I don't know why people make a big deal out of expensive watches. They hold their value really well, and, compared to some womens jewlery which can also cost 1,000s and have only short term asthetic value, the watch will always hold value
SuperLuminova is proven to be more luminous than Tritium. Luminova will give you that sorta blue glow in the beginning. Only tritium lasts a lot longer but is not as bright, just go to their website RC tritec
Sorry, one more thing. Tritium hands were available on watches decades ago. Rolex used it too. The tritium was PAINTED on, and while really bright for long periods of time, a 12.3 yr half life, meant poor longevity. It was replaced with Luminova, then Super Luminova. While not as bright, or long lasting at night, can still recharge for many years. Tritium TUBES are returning in Ball watches and are very bright, and colorful. In tubes they stay bright longer. Sorry for being longwinded.
I have the same SuperOcean, sans the Pro II bracelet. Absolutely love it. Just order the Pro II bracelet to dress it up a bit. It came with the rubber strap with is comfy too. Great watch looks good on leather, rubber, and metal. I am looking to get a Seamaster, but the non-Bond Pro (2254.50). Didn't mention the screw pins on the Breitling bracelet, with I thing are a bit of a step up from pins. Just My $.02. Thanks.
I like the Seamaster more and the hands are particularly beautiful. Lol, Omega have released the Ploprof Seamaster which goes to 4000 feet!! It's got the 8500 inhouse movement and is stunning in its own way
You say that you are a sensible guy, and for whatever reason, I believe you. That's why I'm going to tell you that, as regards Rolex, familiarity will breed contempt. You have been warned
The Omega co axail is a fantastic timepiece. It feels amazing on the wrist, perfectly weighted, the bracelet in itself is a work of art - just so comfortable.
I have the verison with the black face. I love it because it's descreet - it does not try too hard like a Breitling, it does not have the pretention of a Rolex and it is everything a Tag would like to be.
well said i love my seamaster.I have the blue face older version (pre co ax) movement and there is no other watch i would love more it is simply magical
yep omega all teh way, omega sea master is one of the most beautiful watches ever made not even the rolex tag heuer or breitling, (in this category of watch) are better in my opinion
You cannot possibly compare the Breitling and Omega to a cheap quartz watch. Quartz's may be more accurate, but that ultimately depends on what quality movement the watch is running on. For example an automatic Seiko 7S26 movement has a lag of 7 minutes every month, but a watch with an ETA 2824/2 is within seconds.
very informative,thank you.

one thing to ask?? i want to get a seamster pro 300m in blue.. u said it retails around 3000 usd..so do u get any discount on it ?? i mean how much discount should i expect if i buy it from a retailer??
breitlingboy2010 1 year ago
I don't know but yes I'm sure you could get a discount. I financed mine same as cash through Tourneau so I had to pay retail price. I'll sell you mine if you want.

Thanks! I've been getting some nasty posts on here about it. I know I made some erroneous statements and I should edit or redo the vid, but I'm too lazy. I just delete the jerks.

He wears my watch now. Omega seamaster co-axial chronometer professional. Cool watch. Love it dearly.Certified for 600m/2000Ft wich is ridiculous for anybody, but an interesting peice of knowledge.

You have one too? Mine is 300m/1000ft.
turbo311 1 year ago
@turbo311 Yes my dad had it for about a year because he's inlove with the movies and gave it to me and ended up getting a rolex... maybe I will get that one too. :) nice watches

hey here's a question: why does the second hand keep moving? I mean the watches ones I know always stop and then go and stop again...
therealbamlee 2 years ago
Quartz (battery powered) watches do the stop and go. These a mechanical, spring driven, so it's a continuous release of motion.

gotcha. Sorry about that.

I was correcting you. I thought you said in the movt in the Seamaster is the NEWER co-axial movt. You may not have been talking about the Cal 8500. Sorry if I made a mistake.
k0d0kan 2 years ago
I didn't mean newer of the coxail movements, I meant new coaxial period, the old movement being not coaxial.

Caliber:8500

Description:Co-Axial Escapement, Free sprung balance - 2 barrels mounted in series. In-House Manufacture Movement.
k0d0kan 2 years ago
You are wrong my friend. The Co-Axial movt is not a modified ETA 2892 A2. First off, the Breitling uses a modded 2824-2 which is a much lower end movt than the one that Omega used when it WAS using the ETA 2892 A2. ETA claims the 2892 A2 is by far the best movt they have ever produced. Yes,Omega modded the ETA movt but it is so modded that it can surely be called an in-family movt rather than in-house. Now, the cal. 8500 co-axe is an ih-house movt, it is not a rebadged ETA movt.

8500 performance updateA few people asked me to report back in a few months after breaking the watch in. So I have two quick updates:
(1) This watch keeps PERFECT time, over a long period of time. I started wearing it again after a brief hiatus two weeks ago. It has neither gained nor lost a single second since then. The 8500 movement appears to be more accurate than quartz.
(2) My "collection," such as it is, contains two very popular, more expensive, superficially more prestigious models

That's impressive. Mine will gain about a second per day which is COSC certified. I don't see how yours could be that much more accurate.

oh really? I just picked up my first emerson... a mini cqc7. kinda too small. Wat kinda emerson?
hulkbuster1026 2 years ago
It's a 2002 Specwar CQC-7. Looks very different from the production model. I'm pretty sure it's in my latest video but I could be mistaken.

Am I? I'm sure that youtube is the closest you will ever be to a watch that isn't available at a local target or walmart. Enjoy your collection of blue light specials and feel free to continue to make the most of youtube, which in your case is broadcasting yourself as a moron.

Neeh. I live in Norway, but I guess you are an american and by definition you cannot know where Norway is. You can wiki the country btw.
TeabagTore 2 years ago
By what definition?1.) I could careless where you are from. 2.) From reading your comments, I notice you just try to argue, you have no valid standpoints which brings me back to my original point I made to you, that you are an arrogant moron. 3.) Its not that Americans do not know where Norway is, it is just that Norway is of little significance to a country like America. Unless you have something other than try again for any of the 3 reasons I listed that you should just shut up, don't comment.
shiney87 2 years ago
USA is not exactly one of the smartest countries in the world. But however I am not trying to argue you, I just find it suprising how senseless you are by the remark that "fag with limited vocabulary".
I am not an arrogant moron, I just find people like you to be stupid, and I am sure I'm not the only one.
I wont even go into the whole "Norway is of little significance to the mighty and powerful US of the A" thing but I am glad that you chose the right president this time.
TeabagTore 2 years ago
Senseless? you who jumps into a conversation without reading the entire dialogue. If you go back, notice that I wasn't the one who called him a fag. I added that he has limited vocabulary for making the notion that "only fags where omega". Secondly, Americans may not be the smartest, but it is your country spending 1.2 billion on a new satellite when you have close to a million infected by swine flu. Oh yea, and for handing out 60 more million for our "right president" to receive the Nobel.

yo dude i am thinking of giving myself a "university" present (im in grade 12 right now) but when i graduate im thinking of getting a breitling seawolf do you have any experiences or thoughts on the watch? BTW im going to Michigan university................
gvsfgdf 2 years ago
No experience with that one. Go to a store that has a good selection and spend some time looking at them and decide what you can afford and what you like the most. You may end up liking the Navitimer more in person than the Seawolf or the Seawolf will be confirmed your favorite. Best of luck with school.

I mean I don't know why people make a big deal out of expensive watches. They hold their value really well, and, compared to some womens jewlery which can also cost 1,000s and have only short term asthetic value, the watch will always hold value

I have the Omega and I can safely say it will be the last watch I will ever need to buy, hence the investment.

SuperLuminova is proven to be more luminous than Tritium. Luminova will give you that sorta blue glow in the beginning. Only tritium lasts a lot longer but is not as bright, just go to their website RC tritec

monguspen 2 years ago
Sorry, one more thing. Tritium hands were available on watches decades ago. Rolex used it too. The tritium was PAINTED on, and while really bright for long periods of time, a 12.3 yr half life, meant poor longevity. It was replaced with Luminova, then Super Luminova. While not as bright, or long lasting at night, can still recharge for many years. Tritium TUBES are returning in Ball watches and are very bright, and colorful. In tubes they stay bright longer. Sorry for being longwinded.

I have the same SuperOcean, sans the Pro II bracelet. Absolutely love it. Just order the Pro II bracelet to dress it up a bit. It came with the rubber strap with is comfy too. Great watch looks good on leather, rubber, and metal. I am looking to get a Seamaster, but the non-Bond Pro (2254.50). Didn't mention the screw pins on the Breitling bracelet, with I thing are a bit of a step up from pins. Just My $.02. Thanks.

The Omega Does have an anti reflective coating, its just on the underside of the crystal. The Brietling has it on both sides.

I like the Seamaster more and the hands are particularly beautiful. Lol, Omega have released the Ploprof Seamaster which goes to 4000 feet!! It's got the 8500 inhouse movement and is stunning in its own way
You say that you are a sensible guy, and for whatever reason, I believe you. That's why I'm going to tell you that, as regards Rolex, familiarity will breed contempt. You have been warned

The Omega co axail is a fantastic timepiece. It feels amazing on the wrist, perfectly weighted, the bracelet in itself is a work of art - just so comfortable.
I have the verison with the black face. I love it because it's descreet - it does not try too hard like a Breitling, it does not have the pretention of a Rolex and it is everything a Tag would like to be.

You cannot possibly compare the Breitling and Omega to a cheap quartz watch. Quartz's may be more accurate, but that ultimately depends on what quality movement the watch is running on. For example an automatic Seiko 7S26 movement has a lag of 7 minutes every month, but a watch with an ETA 2824/2 is within seconds.
