if the price is too steep. But I am certain this watch is a hit for Omega and that they are selling many.
Did Craig have anything to do with it’s design ?
Found this on the web: “Craig, Aeschlimann added, is the first Bond to ever collaborate directly with Omega on his character’s watch. “[Craig] loves watches, he knows watches, he wears watches,” Aeschlimann said.”
This watch is definitely attention grabbing
I’m tempted to say I like it, and the truth is that I’m really intrigued and drawn to it for several reasons. However there are also some aspects of the watch that I question.
On the pros. I really like the concept of a lightweight titanium watch on Bond. Also the dome crystal is definitely a major plus point, and I find the anodized aluminum dial and bezel insert to be an interesting touch. It’s got that “weathered” feel to it. No date on the dial is perfect too.
On the cons. I would prefer 40mm on the case size, similar to most vintage Rolexs. I think that’s a great size for a sports watch. Second I am truly a bit skeptical of the arrow marking on the dial. It’s not truly a military watch per se so why put that on it? I have mixed feelings on this design cue. Lastly, and this is debatable. I have mixed thoughts over the faux patina. Do we really need it? I have no objections to it but again I question the need to have it.
And despite all that I have to say, I’m really intrigued by it, because Craig is my favorite Bond and I generally find the watch interesting

I like it and see it as...
A fantasy watch. For 007 and Craig die hard fans. And it is featured in the movie! The arrow is an obvious reference to military, which Bond is.
I don’t mind false patina if it’s done well, and this is. Love the color combo of titanium, lume and matt dial.
What I don’t like is the price, but I understand the positioning Omega is taking.
Whoever gets it, is going to enjoy it tons. I have the Planet Ocean that he wears at Quantum, and it feels soo good to have the same watch featured on the movie. I even wear it while I watch the movies...
Best.

I know why I shouldn’t but...
If Walter Mitty were a watch. Everything about it is an artifice: the story, the fauxtina, the bracelet. And I think it is perfect. I am not even bothered about that helium valve. Impressive.
