Once again the choice timepiece Maison of British Secret Service agent James Bond presents an exquisite collection of handsome horologica­l pieces that radiate the brand’s superior craftsmans­hip and exceptiona­l legacy. OMEGA’S Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition is another hit for the debonair agent’s loyal fans as well as watch collectors all over the world. Only 257 of the sets were created, making it an extraordin­ary addition to any horologist’s priceless assemblage of pieces. A Globe-Trotter™ suitcase, bound by black and grey NATO-inspired straps, contains the two precious timepieces.

The first watch features a stainless steel case and black rubber strap. An 18K yellow gold plate, engraved with each Limited Edition number is set on the side of the case. The bezel is black ceramic with a white enamel diving scale. The second model is just as impressive, with a black rubber strap and an 18K gold buckle. The Limited Edition number is set on the case plate in 18K white gold, with the black ceramic bezel featuring a diving scale in OMEGA Ceragold™.

A spiral-brushed black ceramic dial with a special black PVD coating can be found in both pieces with a laseren-graved gun-barrel design. Other features include 18K yellow gold hands and indexes a marker at 12 o’clock, inspired by the Bond family coat-of-arms. This crest is also metalized in gold and black on the sapphire crystal of each watch’s case back. And to celebrate the golden anniversar­y of the cinematic premiere of On Her Majesty’s

Secret Service, which starred George Lazenby and Diana Rigg, the hidden number 50 is placed within the SuperLumiN­ova of the 10 o’clock index. As well as having the superb precision of the Master Chronomete­r Calibre 8806/8807, owners will receive an additional stainless steel bracelet, as well as a NATO strap for each model, with buckles in matching materials.
