The watch doesn’t look fake but the picture looks heavily edited. It appears to be the wave dial like James Bond is so famed for wearing but the picture just looks extremely doctored.
It might be just bad lighting.
It’s the weird electric blue face. I’ve seen it in person, and it’s almost iridescent. Even looking at it on Omega’s page you can see the gleem around the edge.

It is real, it is the electric blue face. Quite interesting looking, unique. Definitely will turn more heads than the standard Bond Seamaster.
It is the electric blue dial model. It was in production around 2000/2001.

It’s a 2255.80 – same as the one on my wrist now.
I am on my second one, the first I got grey market on the web, of course, and sold at close to a $300 profit. I hope to do a bit better with the second one. Nice hobby. Omega rocks, and even though Rolex, PP, El Primero, etc., are up there and better than Omega/Swatch, Omega is the poor man’s (spelled upper middle class, if it still exists) watch. The ETA 2892A2/Omega 1120 23-jewel chronometer movement is quite good, within COSC specs, and I’ve never seen it gain or lose more than 2 seconds per day. Not a co-axial, but sufficient. You want accuracy, buy a Seiko with a 7T62 chrono-alarm movement. The Omega SMP has the Speedy SS band and the ‘electric blue’ with silver bezel is awesome, for young and old alike.
