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dive watch, it wasn’t originally made for divers.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.
