Mr Bond ....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 4th, 2019-11:52

Identical to 007's watch in No Time To Die this 42mm Seamaster, in strong yet lightweight Grade 2 Titanium, sports a brown tropical aluminium bezel ring and dial.

Engraved on the caseback is a series of numbers, which follow the exact format for genuine military-issue watches, including the number 62, which refers to the year of the very first James Bond film, Dr No.

Slightly slimmer than the standard Diver 300M models thanks to the doming of the sapphire-crystal glass, it is presented on a Grade 2 Titanium mesh bracelet with innovative adjustable buckle.

The 007-edition Diver is powered by OMEGA's Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8806, which has achieved the industry’s highest standards of precision, chronometric performance - and of course - magnetic resistance.

Looks great but the price?? A little steep in my view. [nt]

Rocks!

I'm not sure about this one.

I know I will like it because of its lightness, but the blend of faux patina with the classic Seamaster look, hmmm, I'm not sure about it. Let's wait to see it live for a definitive opinion. 



Vte

I’ll report back as soon as possible 😉 [nt]

Unless they have developed woven Sedna titanium, that is not a titanium bracelet [nt]

I just came back from the boutique and saw images with the bracelet or a striped grey/beige NATO (for a good bit less money). I forgot to ask how many will be made. Wonder if its going to

Lots of things to like here, but faux lume and price are deal killers for me. [nt]

Good looking watch, ridiculous price

 
 By: Boris : December 4th, 2019-18:45
I like that they made this watch in titanium, which makes the beefy 42mm diameter / 13mm thickness much more wearable. I also really like that they did away with the date, and I can even live with the faux patina. Not a huge fan of the milanese bracelet at the best of times, but I assume that the rubber strap of the regular 300M would fit on this one as well. Which would be my preferred configuration.

But the price is absolutely ludicrous. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever that the use of titanium should make this watch almost 80% more expensive than a regular 300M.

At the price it is at, the regular 300M is great value for money. This 007 version is less than mediocre value for money in my book.

Omega has really decided to treat their customers like fools. Too bad.

I share your sentiments NT [nt]

Objectively, one can criticize pricing of any commodity. And your point is well taken. Manufacturers, though . . .

 
 By: Dr No : December 6th, 2019-20:18
. . . price according not just to cost of production, but product perception and market tolerance as well.  

I wouldn't blame any manufacturer for pricing its goods at the upper end of a production/demand curve.

Cordially,

Art

Very well explained Art...

I concur with your analysis. 

Let me criticize.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : December 7th, 2019-13:08
It's one thing to "price...at the upper end" of some theoretical range but charging $9000 for a $5000 watch because it is linked to a movie is beyond that nebulous standard. This is a company milking loyal customers. And it seems to be in Swatch's DNA when it comes to Omega. "Olympic" watches and "Bond" watches always carry a hefty premium.

I've been criticized . . .

 
 By: Dr No : December 7th, 2019-15:25
. . . since the second grade, so I'm used to it, Padj.

It's not you I'm criticizing, agent of S.P.E.C.T.R.E.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : December 8th, 2019-06:13
My criticism was and is directed at Swatch. Unless, of course, you have insidiously slinked your way into Omega's "Price Committee"... Have you? Guess I'll have to prepare for a thorough interrogation of you when next we meet.

Nothing you say can possibly . . .

 
 By: Dr No : December 8th, 2019-08:24
. . . phase me.  I've been prepared by the sternest interrogator of all time.
