This. Brown looks all kinds of wrong to me on that.

Here's its cousin in black sharkskin (an excellent option IMHO).

How much did you pay for this?

Oddly enough, yesterday a friend of mine showed me a identical watch he had been offered. I believe it had that exact bezel.
Is it an America's Cup variant?

No - it would say "America's Cup" on the dial if it was. This is the so called "non-AC" model that has applied markers and Omega logo/lettering.

It is a 22305000 - bezel insert is white gold.

Cheers, Al

Never seen that bezel.
A aralph
Oops meant to say bezel not dial. Me either. Resembles a Rolex Yachtmaster.

Hi guys! As Archer said, mine is the 2230.50, AKA the Non-AC Seamaster with a white gold bezel insert and applied marker dial. The latter is a popular mod for those looking to fancy-up their 2254s. This variant has turned out to be pretty hard to come by nowadays; I paid $1600 a few years ago IIRC.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like the darker brown strap. I may just be a sucker for the dark brown strap and black dial/bezel watch combination.
