The James Bond 007 50th Anniversry Collector's Piece Seamaster Co-Axial 300meter
OMEGA has released two Co-Axial versions of the storied Seamaster Diver 300M to commemorate the 50th anniversary of one of the most successful movie franchises of all time.
To celebrate fifty years of James Bond in the motion pictures, OMEGA is releasing a special update of the incredibly popular Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond watch which was worn by 007 in GOLDENEYE and the four following films.
The James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector's Piece has been created in two sizes, 41 mm and 36.25 mm.
The James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector's Piece is aesthetically dazzling. Both versions feature OMEGA's calibre 2507 self-winding movement fitted with the revolutionary Co-Axial escapement, the component that has driven a revolution in mechanical watchmaking since it was launched in 1999. The watch is a certified chronometer. 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.
The watch also has a unidirectional rotating bezel. A 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 30 bar (300 metres / 1000 feet). The 41 mm version was produced in an edition limited to 11,007 pieces; the smaller watch was created in a limited edition of 3,007 pieces
The lacquered black dial features a 007 monogram.
The 41 mm version has 11 applied indexes; The 36.25 mm watchhas ten with a diamond index at the 7 o'clock position - a reminder that this watch was created to honour the film history of agent 007. The indexes are coated with white Super-LumiNova with a blue emission, allowing ease of reading in all light conditions. There is a date window at 3 o'clock.
While some of the advanced features will appeal particularly to divers, the James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector's Piece will prove irresistible to fans of 007 and to anyone interested in elegant, distinctive timepieces.
The Seamaster Diver 300M is a core offering within Omega's contemporary sports watch collection, recognized for its robust construction and technical specifications. This particular reference maintains the established design language of the Diver 300M series, characterized by its distinctive wave-patterned dial and helium escape valve, positioning it as a capable and recognizable diver's watch within the brand's extensive catalog. It represents a modern iteration that continues the line's design evolution.
This model features a stainless steel case, typically measuring 42 mm in diameter, which houses a self-winding mechanical movement. The movement, often a Co-Axial Master Chronometer caliber, provides a substantial power reserve and is visible through a sapphire crystal case back. A domed sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides protects the dial, ensuring legibility in various conditions. The watch is engineered for significant water resistance, suitable for professional diving.
For collectors, the Seamaster Diver 300M appeals to those seeking a technically advanced and durable timepiece from a major Swiss manufacturer. Its availability in various dial colors, including black and steel, offers choices for different preferences. The consistent updates to its movement technology and material science ensure its relevance in the competitive landscape of luxury dive watches, making it a staple for both new and established collectors.
For the marriage and for the 007. Cheers, Nilo
