OMEGA has released two limited edition Seamaster Diver 300M to commemorate the 50th anniversary of one of the James Bond movie franchise.
Fifty years have passed since the release of Dr. No, starring Sean Connery as Her Majesty's Secret Service agent 007. SKYFALL, out on 23 October, marks the 23rd film in the franchise.
To celebrate fifty years of James Bond in the motion pictures, OMEGA is releasing a update of the Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond watch which was worn by 007 in movie GOLDENEYE and the next four films.
The James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector's Piece has been created in two sizes, 41 mm and 36.25 mm.
A lacquered black dial features a 007 monogram. The 41 mm version has 11 applied indexes while the 36.25 mm watch has ten with a diamond index at the 7 o'clock position, something we have seen before. Its screw-in case back is stamped with a gun-barrel design. There is a "bullet" decoration on the rotor that can be viewed through a central sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
Both versions feature OMEGA's calibre 2507 self-winding movement fitted with the Co-Axial escapement.The watch has a unidirectional rotating bezel and helium escape valve allows helium atoms to escape during decompression, particularly necessary for professional divers operating from diving bells. As its name suggests, the watch is water resistant up to 300 meters. The 41 mm versions production run is limited to 11,007 pieces. The 36mm version is limited to 3,007 pieces.
