When the Omega Seamaster was first introduced in 1948, it was one of the premiere diving watches. Featuring a water resistance of 1200 meters and the design that accompanies Omega’s sensibilities in diving sophistication, the watch garnered fans quickly. However it wasn’t until Omega officially joined forces with James Bond that its Seamaster scored a major coup; it dethroned the Rolex Submariner as the official watch of 007.
Pierce Brosnan first wore a Omega Seamaster Quartz Professional before upgrading to a Professional Chronometer. In 2002,to capitalize on/commemorate the release of Die a Another Day and celebrate 40 years of Bond, Omega introduced the limited edition Omega Seamaster James Bond.
This gorgeous watch features a considerable 44mm stainless steel case with a bold brushed blue steel tachymeter bezel. The navy blue dial itself depicts the swirl of a (spy) camera shutter behind luminescent markers. The second hand depicts the trademark 007.
The watch’s bracelet is a stainless steel, tightly woven “James Bond” bracelet secured with a double locking deployment clasp, engraved with more James Bond regalia.
Of course, the caseback itself is also engraved, so should you be unable to answer “Bond, James Bond” when someone asks your name, don’t worry. Your watch will be imprinting your agent number the entire time.
