The official 007 website has revealed today that a new Omega Seamaster 300 “SPECTRE” Limited Edition watch will be going on sale in September.
The same model is worn by James Bond in SPECTRE and features a bi-directional, rotating diving bezel made from black, polished ceramic, LiquidMetal 12 hour scale so that time can be kept with any country in the world and comes with a 5-stripe black and grey NATO strap with 007 gun logo engraved on the strap holder.
This special timepiece comes with a unique serial number and SPECTRE logo on the back. Only 7,007 pieces will be produced.
Slight correction, since I’m a Bond and wristwatch geek. The bezel is a GMT one, designed to rotate so that you can read the time in a second timezone. The standard model Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial has the 0-60 minute diving bezel on it. Not a bad one, this, but I’ve long felt that Omega have released too many of these Limited Editions to tie in with the films.
That is the description provided on 007.com, so presumably by Omega. Being a diver I wouldn’t have called it a diving bezel ;)
I don’t mind this particular model, but I must admit that I’m a little tired over just how many commemorative Bond models Omega has released since 2002. Speaking as both a Bond fan and watch collector with numerous Omega watches.
Agree. This is the second special edition Bond watch this year. Enough is enough!
