James Bond and Omega celebrate a 50th anniversary
Omega marks 50 years since the release of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” with a Seamaster Diver 300M, replete with references to Bond, James Bond.
Omega’s new 42mm Seamaster Diver 300M in stainless steel is limited to 7,007 pieces and features a black PVD on black ceramic dial with a spiral-brushed gun barrel design and 9mm bullet head at the center. On the side of the case, Omega has placed an 18K yellow gold plate engraved with each unique Limited Edition number. 18K yellow gold has also been used to create the hands and indexes, including the index at 12 o’clock, which is inspired by the Bond family coat-of-arms. On the 7th day of each month, the number 7 on the date window uses the same font as the 007 logo. There is also a hidden ‘50’ on the 10 o’clock index, which appears by night as a secret signature within the Super-LumiNova.
Presented on a black rubber strap, Omega’s new Bond watch is Master Chronometer certified and housed in a stylish black box with gun barrel patterns and bullet head buttons. Omega has been worn on the wrist of James Bond since GoldenEye in 1995, when the spy was first seen on screen wearing his own Seamaster Diver 300M.
