Today, we'll be going over an Omega Seamaster Diver 300 meter Chronograph at 41.5 millimeters in diameter. Entirely out of steel with a blue dial. Reference number 2225.8080.00 Now keep in mind that if you're familiar with any Omega Seamasters of the current generation, you'll note that this is actually quite a discontinued watch. It was in production in the very early 2000s at the latest. So you're looking at a timepiece that is nearly 20 years old as of the making of this video. All right, so we'll be going over the case, bezel, crown, the dial, bracelet, and the movement. And I'll be giving you my thoughts on these as we go over them. So between lugs, we have 20 millimeters, again, 41.5 millimeters in diameter. This entire thing is made of steel. The sides, a very nice satin finish with high polish on the very edges there. If I can zoom in for you, high polish on the very edges there. As you go down to the bottom of the case back, it has a helium escape valve for when you do those deep dives. Chronograph pushers above and below the crown with crown guards and a case back with the Seamaster seahorse on the back. All right, so close case back. You can't see the movement, but that's okay. All right, so the crystal is a domed anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, sapphire. No fear of suit threads potentially damaging it. This bezel also made of steel with very nice satin brushing on the bezel on each surface, giving it a very nice texture, a very good diffuse look. So you don't wanna blind any sea creatures as you go down 300 meters, right? Which is the water resistance for this watch, 300 meters or a thousand feet below sea level. This bezel is unidirectional rotating. So you can actually use it as a good timer to time your decompression stops when you're underwater. For most of us, if you're more of a land locked human, you can actually use this as a timer to set to match your minute hand, and simply just wait until the minute hand reaches, you know, whatever part it happens to be pointing on the bezel. And that's how you manage to keep time using the bezel. All right, it is unidirectional because you don't want to estimate in the wrong direction when you're doing those decompression stops underwater. All right, if we look at closer at the inner part of the bezel right where the dial meets the bezel, you have those minute markings permanently set. So if your bezel is rotated about and you're measuring, you're using a timer, not using the chronograph, then you can actually use that inner bezel as well to keep track of your minutes. All right, when in reference to the 12 hour mark where it says 60 at the very top. Note that this dial is a very deep blue. It's very hard for it to show up on camera without actually blowing it out, but finding a light just right, you can actually see those waves very reminiscent of the ocean, right? And you can actually see the tiny print with Omega's logo behind those skeletonized hands. Loom markers with the applied index markers for all of the non 12, 6, 3 and 9 hours. And note that the chronograph also has its own little tiny luminescence there, and the sub registers are actually a different configuration from what we see today. These configurations are, you know, as I said, discontinued with the 30 minute and 12 hour sub dials for the chronograph and the small seconds at the nine o'clock position. Balanced out by the date window at the three o'clock position. Again, comparing this to the newer Seamasters, the date aperture is actually at the six o'clock position. It sort of cuts into that bottom dial. So I prefer this layout specifically because you have nothing overlapping each other. It's all spaced out very nicely and very well balanced. The newer generation with the date window at the six o'clock, yes, it does feel balanced, but when you're looking at just that sub register, it looks a bit jarring, actually. it's a bit jarringly big. This is a very good layout, very good presentation for the Seamaster. And while we're here, we can actually talk about how this works. When you unwind their watch, it actually has this very light clicking sound to the very first position at which you can then wind the watch if you're at a complete stop. About 20 to 25 winds, all you really need to get to full power. Pull it out to the next position, and you can actually advance the date as you can see, very clearly behind that minute hand there in the date aperture window. The throw is very sensitive so if you need to advance the date, say from February 28th to March 1st, be very careful. It takes about an entire rotation to do so. Pull it out to the final position and note that the seconds hand has actually stopped. I've hacked the second so now I can actually move the minute hand as I need for precise timekeeping. Press the crown all the way back in. Be sure that it is screwed in tightly to maintain that 300 meter water resistance. All right, so what makes all of this work is the caliber 1164 made by Omega. It is a 13 and one quarter round lines with 7.9 millimeters thick. With the ability to have the hour, minute, seconds hands, and all those chronograph features. As you can see, I press the top chronograph button to get the chrono hand started. You can have it stop. No sudden starts, no slowdowns anywhere. Consistent movement. You can stop it and then you can reset it as well using the bottom pusher. It has a total of 25 joules allowing for up to 44 hours of power reserve, right? And altogether keeping this altogether, we have the framing here with the bracelet. Five pieces across intermediary links have those high polished flanks with the matching satin finish down the center of those intermediary links. All the way down to the clasp here, which is a double button push clasp. When you open it up, it is a single fold over clasp. All right, and while we have it open, I can try it on. Give you some more of my thoughts as well. All right, putting it on my wrist, it has quite a heft to it and that is, you know, not surprising given that this is a diver's watch. It's made to stay water tight, and it's made to do everything that it's meant to do. Keep time while you're under water. And also looks very stylish in the right lighting. Definitely out in the sun, you can see the dial very clearly. High contrast with all the hour marks with those skeletonized hands makes it a very, very nice presentation. A little bit difficult to see in a light box, but hey, that's what it is. So enough of what I think, what do you think about this watch? Let us know down in the comments below.
