Notwithstanding, the 2541.80 Omega Seamaster watches worn by Mr. Brosnan here have bracelets that appear to have been sized to allow for an inch or two of play up and down about his wrist.

Note how his watch moves when he motions Xenia Onatopp to pass his vintage Aston Martin DB5 in her Ferrari as bicyclists approach.

It also slides down his wrist when he lifts a camera to photograph the Manticore.

In bed with Natalya Simonova, the 2541.80 drops down his arm as he reach up to hold her.

As we've seen with past timepieces, 007 wears this Seamaster under virtually all circumstances. Remarkably, his Omega and a pair of swim trunks are all he has when attacked by Onatopp and her henchman in the steam room.

The Arkangel Chemical Weapons Facility mission 2541.80 with leather strap was likely a gadget watch of some sort.

Remember the scene where Trevelyan takes Bond's contemporary Seamaster, compares it to his earlier issue, then disarms the remote detonator for explosives? Yet earlier, when he seals James Bond and Natalya Simonova into the train car, Trevelyan seems unaware of the laser-cutting feature (via 2541.80 bezel marker).

The quartz Omega Seamaster 2541.80.00 appears in only one James Bond 007 feature. For his next three films, beginning with Tomorrow Never Dies, Mr. Brosnan is appointed with the 2531.80.00 automatic chronometer.

I've owned both and can honestly say that the choice is almost totally a matter of preference.
