The Omega Seamaster 2531.80 is the blue-wave-dial automatic that accompanied James Bond from Tomorrow Never Dies onward—though the similar watch in GoldenEye was quartz. Its skeleton hands, scalloped bezel and five-link bracelet give it a character all its own, while the relatively slim case makes this full-size diver surprisingly easy to wear.

Early examples used caliber 1109; most have the closely related 1120, from before Omega introduced Co-Axial escapements to this line. The more visible choice is between earlier tritium dials and later Super-LumiNova versions: tritium can develop warm coloring, while Super-LumiNova is the better choice if useful nighttime glow matters. On an older example, look for crumbling luminous material in the skeleton hands and mismatched aging between hands and dial. Give the scalloped bezel a turn, too: its shallow grip is part of the design, but stiff rotation makes it particularly awkward to use.

What owners love

The blue wave dial changes noticeably with the light: sometimes dark and subdued, sometimes bright blue with the waves clearly visible. It gives you something to enjoy without making the dial feel busy.
It wears flatter and more comfortably than the 41mm diameter might suggest. The relatively slim case and flexible, multi-link bracelet are a big part of why owners keep wearing it daily.
The bracelet feels solid but drapes nicely, and its alternating polished and brushed sections suit this particular watch. Owners who like the design often find that putting it on a strap loses some of its character.

Common Criticisms

The scalloped bezel can be frustrating to grip, especially with wet fingers. Its shallow recesses give you less purchase than the appearance suggests.
The bracelet clasp has no quick micro-adjustment, so accommodating a wrist that swells during the day isn't straightforward. The bracelet can be very comfortable once fitted, but getting that fit right is a recurring gripe.
