OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M – 60 Years of James Bond

In 1962, one of the most iconic characters in cinema made his on-screen debut. Since that first mission, the James Bond franchise has spanned an incredible 60 years, captivating audiences across the globe.

We all have our own favourite instalment, but for OMEGA Watches a particular fondness exists for GoldenEye, released in 1995. Here, we first saw James Bond gracing the screen in an OMEGA timepiece. This mission was the beginning of an innovative and stylish partnership that has continued up until this day. The ultimate mission partner.

Just as James Bond has evolved throughout his time on screen, so too have the OMEGA watches he has worn on his wrist.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the James Bond franchise, OMEGA has released two new watches, crafted to mark the occasion. Each one pays homage to the world-famous spy through innovation and impressive materials – with a touch of film magic infused within the design.

Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond – Stainless Steel

Inspired by the very same Seamaster on Bond’s wrist in GoldenEye, the new Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond is a 42mm timepiece in stainless steel that creates watchmaking magic through its film-themed caseback. Replicating the famous 007 opening sequence, with Bond in silhouette and a spinning gun barrel design, the dynamic scene plays out beneath the sapphire, decorated with micro-structured metallisation.

The patent-pending “moiré” effect animation is linked to the running of the lollipop central seconds hand, so the action never stops.

Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond – Canopus Gold™

OMEGA’s own 18ct Canopus Gold™ has been used to craft this special 42 mm watch, released in celebration of the 60th anniversary of James Bond. Canopus Gold™ is an exclusive white gold alloy, noted for its brilliant shine and long-lasting effect.

In a nod to the beautiful sands of Ian Fleming’s Jamaican home GoldenEye, the dial has been made from natural grey silicon. Thanks to the crystallites, the pattern on each one is totally unique, guaranteeing the wearer that no two dials are ever alike. As a beautiful reference to the Jamaican flag, the bezel is circled with a paving of green and yellow treated natural diamonds in 10 different tropical shades, which range from extra dark forest green to cognac, passing through olive, yellow, gold and gold/ cognac.
