OMEGA Seamaster James Bond Watch 2006 Limited Edition
Launched in 2006, this OMEGA Seamaster James Bond watch was a limited edition of 10’007 pieces in stainless steel.
Carrying on the tradition of the OMEGA Seamaster James Bond watch, this model carries the spiral motif embossed on the dial as seen in the opening credits of the films as well as the diminutive 007 numerals at the end of the seconds hand. This was also one of the first James Bond watches to incorporate the technically advanced Co-Axial Escapement.
This exclusive Seamaster has more Bond features than previous models. The James Bond Limited Series adopts the classic design features such as the distinct case design, the curved horns and contrasting polished and brushed surfaces as well as the blue “Bond” bezel and dial.
In true Bond style, eye-catching good looks are combined with a high specification precision machine. The James Bond Limited Series meets with the requisites of a professional diver’s watch as well as passing the rigorous COSC tests that assure its precision as a chronometer. Water resistant to 300 metres (1,000 feet), it features a helium escape valve positioned at 10 o’clock.
Other features that distinguish this as a professional diver’s instrument are the screw-in crown and screw-down case back, the unidirectional rotating bezel featuring a luminous dot and the highly visible hands.
The skeleton hour and minute hands are coated with the luminous material SuperLuminova and the seconds hand has a red tip.
The 007 logo at the end of the seconds hand sweeps across the spiral motif embossed on the blue dial, making this the most “Bond” of all the Seamasters to date. It also features applied hour markers with luminescent application, and a date window at 3 o’clock. The domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment ensures optimum clarity.
The 41mm stainless steel case of the OMEGA Seamaster James Bond Watch 2006 Diver 300M watch houses the Calibre 2500 self-winding movement with a 48-hour power reserve.
It is also one of the first of these robust watches to incorporate a Co-Axial escapement. This proprietary Omega technology considerably reduces friction in the heart of the watch mechanism and offers improved long-term reliability and accuracy. The free-sprung balance allows for more precise adjustments of the watch. The mechanism is sealed into the case by a screw-down back.
The steel case-back also spotlights the limited edition series number and an embossed 007 gun logo. This James Bond Limited Series watch edition 2006 comes with a comfortable brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet featuring a safety clasp with the engraving of the 007 logo.
