Mission ready

In OMEGA’S first look at No Time To Die, 007 sports a ‘fairly strong’ timepiece on his wrist

-

For its TVC for the upcoming James Bond feature, the timepiece becomes a handy tool for the agent. The highly anticipate­d 007 film, No Time To Die, is set to reach world-wide audiences from September 30 in the UK, and as the anticipati­on builds, a new OMEGA campaign has been launched to reveal 007’s timepiece in action.

Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, No Time To Die is the 25th James Bond on-screen adventure. Daniel Craig returns for his fifth turn as Ian Fleming’s 007 agent. While it hits UK theaters by the end of the month, the EON Production­s and Metro Goldwyn Mayer collaborat­ed film will open in the US by the second week of October.

With a script and story penned by Fukunaga, Fleabag’s Phoebe Waller-bridge, and Skyfall writers Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the film has Bond off active serving and enjoying tranquil life in Jamaica.

His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help.

The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherou­s than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology.

HANDY COMPANION

The TVC captures a dramatic montage of clips from James Bond’s latest mission and includes thrilling glimpses of returning 007 characters, including Q and Moneypenny, along with the new double-o agent, Nomi.

Of course, at the heart of the excitement is the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition. As the new commercial shows, the grade 2 titanium watch proves to be a vital companion and serves Bond with typical quality and style. As Q simply puts it, the watch is “fairly strong.”

Although Q has given the watch some signature modificati­ons in No Time To Die, the real-life timepiece is now commercial­ly available with the same inspiratio­n, lightweigh­t design, and vintage touches.

The Omega Seamaster has been a part of 007’s attire since Goldeneye in 1995, when it was selected as the ultimate watch for

Commander Bond.
