A New Timepiece Born from the Collaboration Between Daniel Craig and the "007" Production Team
Omega watches have been favored by James Bond since the 1995 film "007 GoldenEye." To mark the release of the highly anticipated 25th installment in the "007" series, "007/No Time to Die," scheduled for April 2020, Omega has unveiled the new "Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition," worn by James Bond, as portrayed by Daniel Craig. This timepiece will not only appear on screen but will also be available as a standard model in Omega's iconic collection starting February 2020.
The new "Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition" is designed with a military aesthetic, incorporating ideas from the film's star, Daniel Craig, and the production team. Omega worked closely with Daniel Craig during the design phase, delving into his extensive knowledge of the James Bond character to determine the most suitable design for this watch.
Daniel Craig commented, "In discussing the design with Omega, we concluded that a lightweight watch would be key for a man like 007, who has a military background." Reflecting this insight, Grade 2 titanium has been used for the 42mm case and the mesh bracelet with its innovative adjustable buckle. Grade 2 titanium's high strength and light weight make it an ideal material for a timepiece worn by an agent on secret missions. For further weight reduction, "tropical" brown aluminum has been employed for the dial and bezel ring.
Daniel Craig's suggestion to "add a distinctive edge to the watch with a vintage design and color" has also been incorporated. The combination of a diving scale, black hands, and vintage Super-LumiNova® applied to the indices creates a robust, classic aesthetic.
The case back is engraved with five numbers reminiscent of military watch details. "0552" is the code number for naval personnel, "923 7697" denotes a diver's watch, the letter "A" is a code for a screw-down crown, and "007" is the agent number of the universally known James Bond. The final number, "62," represents the year the first James Bond film, "007/Dr. No," was released.
Furthermore, a Naiad Lock case back ensures all engravings are perfectly aligned with the 12 o'clock position. Inside, it houses the "Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806," boasting industry-leading precision, watchmaking performance, and magnetic resistance. This timepiece can be chosen with a titanium mesh bracelet or a striped NATO strap in dark brown, grey, or beige, each featuring "007" engraved on the loop. All models come with a special brown fabric pouch.
