Omega seamaster Bond Quartz 2221.80 review

[@JJ-rp2df]

Perfect size, proportional and precise, still serving me well in 2024. Great review thanks

[@gbtriumph3216]

The Seamaster Professional (SMP) cal 2500 co-axial Auto version had issues. The quartz is/was more reliable. I agree that the thinness is QUITE a selling point as the newest are always larger, less elegant, less versatile. The bracelet is the prettiest (and maybe most comfortable) of all SMPs. Previous versions had hands from the small (36mm) versions on the larger 41mm. Really looks awkward once you notice it. All issues on previous versions of the wavy dial were fixed on this version. Therefore, this particular one: 2221.80.00 is the perfect one and it will not be made again. Good work on the video! Well done!

I own an automatic (no co axial...first james bond modell since end of 998 years i have not issues)

[@mikeseeck8479]

Used to own a 2561.80.00, so the smaller version of this exact watch. Top notch quality as expected from Omega, 4+ years of battery life and more accurate than any COC certified automatic (which is not surprising). Had it for nearly ten years and then sold it. Missed it and ordered a newer and bigger 2221.80 now. Get them as long as they are still around at reasonable prices.

Man you’re spot on. I have the 2264.50 and it gets more wrist time than my subbie and my other omega autos. Always accurate and can take a shock. The 2264 and my 2221.80 are my everyday pieces. Love your vids btw

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Audiman77 sounds like you have a nice collection. Thanks for watching and subbing .

[@tonyp1089]

I have exactly the same watch! The most comfortable watch I have owned! Best Regards from🇬🇧

I have the one with the silver writing where yours is red, and it is an amazing watch. My first luxury watch 20 years ago, and still looks as good as new! Great review.

[@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces]

Love how you can adjust the hour hand. Super handy for travel. Nice vid.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

TimeToGo Travel And Timepieces yes that's one of the features I love about this watch thank you

[@armandojuan64]

Mine is 26 years old and still works like it was new .

[@ajaxforever5473]

Love this blue Seamaster. For having one quartz piece in the collection this would be the perfect one. Great watch. For comfortable. I know because i have the 2554. These somewhat older Omega's are the shit.

[@ajaxforever5473]

Very* comfortable

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

AjaxForever yeah these older ones are the sweet spot . Thanks for watching

[@richdubbya]

There's low end quartz and then there's high end quartz....

[@ItsTimePictures]

It's a damn fine watch. VERY reliable and far more comfortable on the wrist vs the modern Omega monstrosities. Perfect for a NATO since the clasp on the official bracelet has no micro adjustments and can be a pain when your wrist swells in humid weather. I would say go for this watch if you budget is up to $1500. Plenty full sets on the market these days for less than that.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Matt Stevens my thoughts exactly Matt . It's hard to beat older omega models . Thanks for watching man

[@Shlomo8561]

you can also install the adjustable omega clasp

[@GunCollector007]

Looks great. Now I have to find my old speed master, lost somewhere in the attic.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

GunCollector007 yeah that's another great watch

[@archiepreston6503]

How do you lose such a nice watch hahaha

[@Willzforcebaby]

I love this watch although i got the mid-size version of this ; Model 2223.80 . The bracelet and the refinement in this watch are something i loved ever since i put it on. However the downside is the bezel is extreme hard to use. Other then that and being a quartz , i love it. In the end it tells the time well in luxury.

[@carlstoffels5476]

I have the same watch still works like a champ

[@garyk4017]

I love the wave dial and skeleton hands. Thanks for the video.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Gary K yes very attractive watch . Happy you enjoyed the video

[@stauffer65]

Great vid and great to see this watch!! They are classic kick ass pieces. The bracelet is so beautiful and love the hour hand adjustment! Thanks for that one!!

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Best watch I’ve ever owned best wishes from 🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

[@lucaschifferle3355]

My Daily Rocker and -2 Seconds a Month is unbeaten. Not even my Rolex or brand new Speedmaster can touch this level of accuracy

[@silverstone3228]

when this was made,? is it out of stock and how's it worth? my local store here offering me one brand new (new old stock) should i get it ?

[@michaelm1326]

Great video. Can I ask how loud the ticking is? Considering a quartz, but concerned about incessant ticking.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Michael M not very loud, automatic ticks louder

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Michael M btw thanks for watching 👍

[@michaelm1326]

Really appreciate the reply. I'm on the lookout for one of these now, though in the midsize.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Michael M nice 👍 you will love it

[@ryanfritz8903]

Did you measure out the 11.8 for thickness? Cause I have this one and I am now hearing the original 2541.80 is even thinner and now I'm trying to compare.

[@neuromancerXL]

Love this watch.. I agree that dial pattern is fantastic. Shame Omega did away with it

[@varunkanth11]

agreed!!... I wish they still sold this watch

[@imranbecks]

What the heck. I had no idea the quartz of this has the adjustable hour hand for the date change. I have the Co-Axial 2220.80 model and it doesn't have the hour hand date change.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Imran Becks yes very nice feature on the quartz model

[@yusakufudo367]

Hey man what’s up I have a question will those dials fade in time? Like the older omega seamasters

[@andrewfitzgibbons3492]

Proprer accurate movement lovely iconic watch but keep it on the bracelet that's when it looks real sexy.

[@ΠαῦλοςΠαυλίδης-χ7θ]

The bracelet its the 50% of its attractiveness

[@אבינועםהרטל]

i love quartz' but this watch fan work 50 years?

[@Aj_98]

Looking to buy my First Luxury watch and had a question there are the 2221.80 and 2541.80 both listed as Bond whats the difference ? And are there two types?

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Mr Aj the 2541.80 is the original bond and the other is newer upgraded with applied markers and better lume

[@Aj_98]

@@ChrisMarshall1978007 thanks which one in your opinion is better, or worth the money more

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

Mr Aj I like the newer model better but they are both a great watch

[@cont5111]

Great watch!! Perfect allrounder

[@zillsburyy1]

i like the seamaster 2264.50 model best

[@sologamer8004]

I have a seamaster aqua terra 150m quartz would you consider it a luxury watch ?

Its a beautiful quartz id like to have too because i hace the newest co-axial version!!!!

I sold this watch

[@emmanuelgarcia1504]

Hey! Is your watch the same reference? I noticed most references start with 89XXX or 9XXXX. Just bought it used and it starts with 58XXX Im wondering if it's not legit. Thanks!

The best! have one exactly like it!

[@johnsanabria3279]

Not a watch snob,but you're right. Quartz movement watches have their place...... .....on the lower end where Casio and Timex exist. MHO.

[@ChrisMarshall1978007]

I respect that

[@johnsanabria3279]

@@ChrisMarshall1978007 Just wanted to add that I have 2 Casio watches that I wear when I work(I work outside),so I'm not against Casio. I also have a replica SMP with a Miyota movement that I enjoy wearing every chance I get. There is something about hearing a movement tick along nicely that one can't get with a quartz watch.

[@markg9653]

Best sea master ever

[@satansonion2104]

I am here to knock it because it's a quartz.
