INDUSTRY NEWS - Omega Releases the James Bond Limited Edition Set
Thu, 21 November 2019 09:21
Limited Edition of 257 Sets
The recent release of Omega's Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition has proven to be an instant hit with 007 fans and watch collectors around the world. Now, to add even more choice to the collection, the brand has launched a special Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Limited Edition Set.
The sets, comprised of two unique watches inside a Globe-Trotter suitcase, includes black and grey NATO-inspired straps.
The first timepiece features a stainless steel case and black rubber strap. On the side of the case is an 18kt yellow gold engraved plate with each Limited Edition number, while the bezel is black ceramic with a white enamel diving scale.
The second model, in 18kt yellow gold, sports a black rubber strap with an 18kt yellow gold buckle. On this watch, the case plate with each Limited Edition number is done in 18kt white gold, and the black ceramic bezel features a diving scale in Omega Ceragold.
Both watches feature a spiral-brushed black ceramic dial with a special black PVD coating and a very distinctive touch: a laser-engraved gun-barrel design. There is also a hidden number 50 within the Super-LumiNova of the 10 o'clock index - a reference to the 50th anniversary of On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969).
Additionally, the watches include 18kt yellow gold hands and indexes, with a marker at 12 o'clock, inspired by the Bond family coat-of-arms. This crest is also metallised in gold and black on the sapphire crystal of each watch's caseback.
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.
Omega has been worn on the wrist of James Bond in every film since GoldenEye in 1995. For almost 25 years, the brand has been proud to equip the spy for his most famous on-screen missions.
