Omega adds to its line-up of Bond watches with a special piece in platinum-gold
Few on-screen icons are as renowned for their style as James Bond and, since 1995,he spy has sported the Omega Seamaster as his timepiece of choice. To celebrate the upcoming release of the latest film in the series, No Time To Die, the watchmaker has created the new Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Numbered Edition, joining other mission-ready models in its James Bond collection.
This bold watch has been crafted from platinum-gold, from the 42mm case and side plate, engraved with the watch’s unique number, to the polished-brushed buckle of the black leather straps. The contemporary look continues with the black ceramic bezel ring complete with platinum diving scale, and complementary black enamel dial featuring a distinctive spiralling gun barrel motif in white gold.
There are a number of other special touches sure to appeal to fans of the franchise. Those paying close attention will spot a hidden number 50 within the Super-LumiNova of the 10 o’clock index, a subtle nod to the anniversary of the film On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Meanwhile a 007 logo is featured at 7 o’clock on the white enamel minute track, as well as a Bond family coat-of-arms at 12 o’clock.
Flip the watch over and a second coat-of-arms is revealed, laser-engraved into the sapphire crystal caseback before being filled with platinum. Through the glass you can watch Omega’s renowned Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8807 in action that, just as the rest of the watch, has been meticulously finished to the highest standards.
In keeping with Bond’s adventurous spirit and penchant for glamourous travel destinations, each watch comes presented in its own Globe-Trotter suitcase secured with NATO strap-inspired fastenings.
