While Bond fans eagerly await the world premiere of No Time to Die starring Daniel Craig, watch brand Omega has been adding to the hype surrounding one of the essential accessories worn by Agent 007 — his watch.
Although the film was initially set to premiere in April, it has now been put back to November. Yet Omega has not fallen behind schedule, as the watch manufacturer began its appeal to fans of the stylish secret agent last fall. The stainless steel Seamaster Diver 300M was released in September to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which was followed by a secret suitcase set in November, containing two case models in stainless steel and yellow gold. Then finally, in December, Omega presented the one and only Seamaster that will be shown on the big screen. There was another surprise in store for Omega and 007 fans this summer — the 42 mm Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Numbered Edition in a platinum and white gold alloy case. Each of these precious metals solo in some of the decorative details. For instance, the diver scale in positive relief on the black ceramic bezel ring is made entirely of platinum.
In contrast, the black enamel dial has been given a spiraling gun-barrel design in white gold. The design of the new watch mirrors the Bond look down to the last detail: there is a 007 logo at 7 o'clock, the Bond family coat-of-arms at 12 o'clock, and a hidden number 50 marking the OHMSS anniversary in the Super-LumiNova of the 10 o'clock index. The watch is fitted with the in-house Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8807, which has received METAS certification. You can see all the details of its finishing thanks to the see-through sapphire glass on the caseback.
