Best Review on Omega 2201 50 00 Seamaster Automatic Chronometer
I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxury watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly under the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, especially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.
This said I will tell you that this particular watch is what I consider to be a "best kept secret" sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical - NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as used here is a measure of accurate timekeeping, not quality - a point often misunderstood - and is used mostly from a marketing point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER. This movement in THIS watch is actually EXCELLENT in terms of quality, time keeping ability, and construction - easily comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous manufacturers costing several times as much. This watch, properly serviced, will provide a lifetime of use - and probably more. Absolutely the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation.
All in all - and EXCELLENT choice - especially for those seeking their first QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.
Definitely recommended!

Initially I was a bit skeptical about buying such an expensive watch without a manufacturer's warranty. But knowing Amazon I went ahead as they are offering a 5 year warranty for this watch. Anyway I have no idea about how good their warranty really is and that could be the real deal breaker here.
The watch is by far one of the very best dive watches you can buy. Wear it on a jeans or a suit and it will never look out of place. It being a certified chronometer is well within its COSC specs of -4 to +6 seconds per day and I am loving it. it is also a very well made watch and a heavy one too. Buy it and trust me you will never regret it.
Beautiful when I got it. I have had it for 2 years and still think it is a beautiful watch. Still thinking of getting a second OMEGA watch...
I have just purchased this Omega watch and I am completely satisfied. This watch has everything that I was looking for, quality, workmanship, style at an exceptional price for the value. I had an extensive watch collection and had my home robbed, and they took everything I had. This is a start to my new collection, and having purchased the watch now, I find myself only wanting to wear this watch for all occasions. It works for work, going out for the evening or even a more formal affair. Hey George Clooney can't be wrong! Buy it, you will be more than satisfied.
This is my daily wear watch, and I'll just add to all the 5 star reviews. The 42mm planet ocean could be the perfect watch if there is such a thing.
#1-The quality and value are obvious, it's right at home next to more expensive luxury watches despite costing much less. (Looking at you rolex)
#2-It's a serious tool if you need one, screw down crown, helium escape valve, good to 600m.
#3-For 'desk divers' it's not awkwardly tall and fits much better under a cuff due to the bezel design.
#4-Accuracy, as mentioned in other reviews it's a chronometer. Very accurate day to day.
#5-It's the Jame Bond watch. ;)
#6-Classic style. No worries about this looking out of place 20 years from now, the same can't be said of many current luxury watches.
This watch will stay on your wrist and serve you well. And whether you care or not you'll get nods of approval both from 'watch guys' and regular folk alike.
I've owned this watch for approximately 3 months now and I'm totally in love with it, for the past couple of years I've been wearing automatic watches as I've come to appreciate the fine craftsmanship in them. I had my eye on this omega for about a year now and I finally got around to buying it I must say definitely not your everyday purchase however one that I will never regret. This is my second Omega watch my first one is a James Bond 40 year anniversary Seamaster with the 007 logo in several locations.
This watch is completely exquisite in every single details, my purchase was not done thru amazon but one of the local omega boutiques where I live truly an experience.
I highly recommend this sport watch to anyone interested is not to dressy for my taste but it's great watch for the outdoors for dressy ocassions I keep my Bond special edition watch, but I've been considering getting a Omega DeVille hmm maybe later.
Hope this review is helpful :)
This is my fourth Swiss timepiece and it has to be said, my favourite. I have also owned an Ikepod, Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow and a Tag F1, the latter of which I still own as it is just such a fun watch.
I basically swapped my Broad Arrow (BA) for the Planet Ocean XL (PO XL) and I'm glad I did (the XL is the one to go for not the baby brother version). The BA is a fantastic watch but I started to find it just a little too dressy for my taste. The PO XL on the other hand is a fantastic, great looking, chunky sports watch which grabs peoples attention without being too flash. It can be worn as an everyday watch but it still has the class and will look great on that special occasion. The PO is beautifully made and a pleasure to wear. I looked at the Tags (Aquaracer and Link) Breitling (colt) and some others in the price range and they just didn't come close to this one in my opinion. I have had it 6 months now and timekeeping is spot on as you would expect. I tend to get bored with my watches and sell them on and replace them after a few years. But I can honestly say that I might just settle down with my Planet Ocean.
