Co Axial Movement Appraisal

Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Co-Axial

This is a luxury stainless steel diver's wristwatch, specifically an Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Co-Axial Chronometer. The watch features a black 'wave' pattern dial, which is a hallmark of the 212.30.41.20.01.002 reference or similar era models from the mid-to-late 2000s. The dial is protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and houses skeletonized luminescent hands, a date window at the 3 o'clock position, and circular hour markers. The unidirectional rotating bezel is black with a minute scale for diving. A key distinguishing feature is the helium escape valve located at the 10 o'clock position on the brushed and polished 41mm stainless steel case. The watch is presented on its characteristic five-link 'Bond' style stainless steel bracelet with a folding deployment clasp. Notable text on the dial includes 'PROFESSIONAL CO-AXIAL CHRONOMETER 300m/1000ft'. In terms of condition, the piece shows visible signs of regular wear, including light scratches and scuffing on the bracelet links and the bezel edge. The crystal appears clear, though the lighting suggests some surface thumbprints or oils. The craftsmanship is high-tier, indicative of Omega's Swiss manufacturing, featuring a precision mechanical movement with a co-axial escapement designed for reduced friction and improved longevity.
