OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond 007 50th Anniversary watch

This special update of the popular Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond watch which has been worn by 007 in every adventure since GOLDENEYE is available in two sizes: 41 mm and 36.25 mm.

OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Watch Gent’s 41mm, Reference 212.30.41.20.01.005
Gent’s Version, Reference 212.30.41.20.01.005

Measuring 41mm or 36.25 mm in diameter, the stainless steel case features ceramic bezel ring with diving scales in matt chromium nitride with the number “50” in red as a reminder that the watch is celebrating a very special anniversary.

Each version of the watch comes with a classic brushed and polished OMEGA-patented screw-and-pin stainless steel bracelet.

Lady’s Version, Reference 212.30.36.20.51.001

The lacquered black dial features a 007 monogram. The 41 mm version has 11 applied indexes; the 36.25 mm watch has 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. Moreover, there is a date window at 3 o’clock. Both versions feature OMEGA’s calibre 2507 self-winding movement with the revolutionary Co-Axial escapement.

The watch is a certified chronometer. Its screw-in case back is stamped with a gun-barrel design. There is a “bullet” decoration fixed on the rotor that can be viewed through a central sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating inside.

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 300 metres.

The 41 mm version is a limited edition of 11’007 pieces and the 36.25 mm version is available in a limited edition of 3’007 pieces.

In 2012, EON Productions will release SKYFALL, the 23rd film in the franchise, with Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond.
