How many Omega Seamaster 007s were made?
1 Answer

Only 7,007 Omega Seamaster 007s were made. This watch featured in No Time to Die was designed with input from actor Daniel Craig, who portrayed James Bond in the film. An in-house Calibre 8806 automatic movement powers the model, and its details include a simple mesh band, a sleek titanium case and a black dial with a faux-aged patina.
In 1917, the British Royal Flying Corps designated Omega as an official supplier, and during World War II it became the principal watch supplier for the British forces and their allies. These commissions further strengthened Omega’s commitment to ensuring its products’ reliability under extreme conditions.
In 1948, Omega launched the versatile Seamaster. Developed as a dive watch, the Seamaster proved its durability at high altitudes and freezing temperatures, as well. While the Omega Seamaster is known as a dive watch, it wasn’t originally made for divers. Introduced in 1948, it was marketed as a dress watch for posh modern gentlemen and featured new waterproofing technology developed by the firm during World War II.
Thanks in part to its rugged reputation and Omega’s links to the British military, it became James Bond’s watch of choice in 1995, appearing in GoldenEye and every succeeding Bond movie; it returned in 2021’s No Time to Die. To commemorate the partnership, the firm created 007 editions of the Seamaster. Nevertheless, the most famous Omega by far is the Speedmaster, introduced in 1957. The first chronograph to display its tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial for easier readability, it was quickly adopted by engineers and scientists.
