c. 1999 Omega Seamaster 300M 36mm “Bond” Ref. 2561.80.00 – Box & Papers – Unpolished

Info

The Omega Seamaster 300M ref. 2561.80.00 stands as one of the most balanced and refined expressions of the Swiss brand’s iconic dive watch line. Featuring a 36 mm stainless steel case, this midsize version retains all the technical strength and visual appeal of its larger sibling – the renowned Seamaster “Bond” 2541.80 – in a more compact format, ideal for those seeking a sporty yet understated timepiece without compromising on character or prestige.

The design, made famous by Agent 007 in the film GoldenEye, remains unchanged: a unidirectional blue bezel, wave-patterned blue dial, and applied luminous hour markers that ensure perfect legibility in all conditions. Skeletonized hands, the helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, and the seahorse-engraved case back all underscore the watch’s professional diving heritage.

Inside beats the Omega 1538 quartz caliber, praised for its exceptional precision and its End-of-Life (EOL) indicator that signals when the battery needs replacing. It’s a smart choice for those who want a reliable watch for daily wear, with no compromises on quality.

The stainless steel bracelet, featuring brushed and polished finishes and a deployant clasp with diver’s extension, offers both comfort and durability. Its sporty yet elegant design makes it equally suitable for casual or formal occasions.

The 2561.80.00 reference is, ultimately, an often-overlooked gem in the Seamaster collection: compact, robust, precise, and infused with the unmistakable “Bond look” that defined an era. Perfect for slimmer wrists or those who appreciate well-balanced proportions, it remains a timepiece of substance and style, ready to be worn with quiet confidence.

Case, Bracelet, Dial & Glass

The stainless steel case of the Omega Seamaster 300M Quartz ref. 2561.80.00 is in good overall condition and has never been polished, preserving its original character. It shows noticeable signs of wear from age, but these are far less visible when the watch is on the wrist, maintaining a pleasing overall appearance. The blue aluminum bezel, a hallmark of the model, also shows some signs of wear, but again, these become much less noticeable when worn.

The Omega 1502 bracelet with 824 end links is composed of 14 links and has not been polished. It shows natural signs of aging but remains structurally sound, with virtually no stretch. It fits wrists up to approximately 18.5 cm in circumference.

The wave-pattern blue dial, a signature feature of this reference, is in excellent condition. The surface is perfectly preserved, with applied hour markers and hands that retain their full original brilliance.

The sapphire crystal is also in excellent condition, with only light superficial marks that are not visible to the naked eye.
