This is the quartz Seamaster 300M, and it is the watch that Pierce Brosnan wore as James Bond in GoldenEye (1995). Coming with its original box and papers, this 1998 example is a neo-vintage classic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design holds up completely. Conceived in the early 1990s by a team that understood the Seamaster's heritage while building something genuinely new, the 300M brought together a twisted lug case architecture, a wave-pattern dial, and a scalloped unidirectional bezel that together created an instantly identifiable silhouette. The deep blue dial — its surface textured with a subtle undulating wave pattern — catches light at every angle, and the skeletonised sword hands are immediately recognisable. A helium escape valve at 10 o'clock and crown guards flanking the screw-down crown reinforce the professional diving credentials without being decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 41mm case wears beautifully — broader than many of its contemporaries but balanced by the twisted lugs that curve naturally to the wrist, and by a case thickness that feels genuinely svelte for a 300-metre rated dive watch. The Hippocampus seahorse on the screw-down caseback has been a part of the Seamaster identity since 1958, and its presence here connects this watch to a lineage that long predates Bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHAT'S INSIDE:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 2541.80 is powered by the Omega Calibre 1538 — a 6-jewel quartz movement based on the ETA 255.461, delivering reliable, low-maintenance accuracy with a battery life of approximately 42 months and an end-of-battery-life indicator.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFIVEFORTYFIVE SIX MONTHS \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWARRANTY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53407922323729,"sku":"24315","price":5250.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/5332\/7960\/files\/Omega-1998-Seamaster-300M-2541.80243151-7.jpg?v=1777081561","url":"https:\/\/fivefortyfive.nz\/products\/omega-1998-seamaster-300m-2541-80-00","provider":"FiveFortyFive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
