Actor Daniel Craig in his role as 007 and the ‘No Time To Die’ producers have collaborated with OMEGA to create the latest James Bond timepiece.
With the recent release of the 25th official James Bond film, 'No Time To Die', OMEGA has unveiled the new timepiece that is worn by 007 in the film. As well as appearing on screen, this non-limited watch is now available in OMEGA's current collection.
The new Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition has been built with military needs in mind, and was designed with input from actor Daniel Craig and the 007 producers. OMEGA remained in close contact with Craig throughout the design process, referring to his superior James Bond knowledge to understand the types of special features that this model of the timepiece might require.
Craig's influence and advice played a majorrole in the final result. “When working with OMEGA, we decided that a lightweight watch would be key for a military man like 007,” states Craig. “I also suggested some vintage touches and colour to give the watch a unique edge. The final piece looks incredible.”
The 42 mm timepiece has been crafted from Grade 2 Titanium, which is used for the case and it has a titanium mesh bracelet with an innovative adjustable buckle. This material is strong and lightweight, making it perfect for an undercover agent.
To further decrease the weight, OMEGA used “tropical” brown aluminium for the dial and the bezel ring. These elements have been given a classic look, thanks to the vintage Super-LumiNova, which fills the diving scale, blackened hands and indexes.
On the caseback there is a series of numbers, which follow the format for genuine military-issue watches. 0552 is the code number specified for Navy personnel, with 923 7697 being the number for a divers' watch. The letter ‘A' is a code used to signify a watch with a screw-in crown, while ‘007' is of course James Bond's iconic agent number. Finally, the number 62 marks the year of the release of the very first James Bond film.
The new watch is completed by a NAIAD LOCK caseback, which keeps all of the engravings in correct alignment. Inside, it is driven by a particularly impressive movement – the OMEGA CoAxial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which has achieved the industry's highest standards of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance.
The watch is now available in OMEGA boutiques on the striking titanium mesh bracelet, or on a striped NATO strap in dark brown, grey and beige with ‘007' engraved on the loop. The watches are presented in an exclusive brown fabric pouch and make for the perfect accessory or gift for die-hard Bond and watch fanatics.
