Design
- Movement
- The timepiece is driven by the self-winding Omega Calibre 2500 movement. This movement is noted as the brand's first widely produced Co-Axial caliber. Developed from the escapement design by George Daniels, the movement aims to reduce friction during operation. This technical adjustment is intended to improve long-term reliability and permit longer intervals between required service cycles for the watch. The adoption of the Co-Axial escapement in this movement marks a significant development in the series. As one of the early production watches to incorporate this technology, the Calibre 2500 is presented as a component of the evolution of the Seamaster Professional lineage, transitioning from previous movement designs to the modern Co-Axial configuration.
- Case and Dial
- The case is fitted with a unidirectional rotating dive bezel in a matching blue finish. A distinct helium escape valve is positioned on the side of the case at the ten o'clock mark, a feature designed for professional diving use. The timepiece is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, ensuring durability. The dial is presented in a rich blue hue featuring a signature wave-pattern design. Legibility is provided by oversized luminous hour markers and skeletonized hands, which allow for visibility in low-light environments. A date aperture is located at the three o'clock position on the dial. The overall aesthetic maintains the established visual identity of the Seamaster collection while housing the movement within a 300-meter water-resistant housing.

- Bracelet and History
- The watch is paired with a stainless steel multi-link bracelet that features a foldover clasp. The clasp assembly includes a diver's extension, allowing the bracelet to be adjusted for fit over a wetsuit. This component is consistent with the watch's designation as a professional dive instrument. The reference 2220.80.00 is linked to the 2006 film Casino Royale, serving as the watch worn during the introduction of Daniel Craig as James Bond. This association with the film franchise is highlighted as a significant element of the watch's identity, marking an era for both the actor and the series. Beyond its cinematic context, the watch is positioned as an evolution of the Seamaster Professional model range.
