Later this year the 23rd film in the James Bond franchise will be released, called Skyfall, 2012 also marks the 50th anniversary of James Bond movies. To celebrate this milestone, Omega has released a special edition of the James Bond watch, also known as the Omega Seamaster. The British spy has been wearing Omega watches in all the movies since Golden Eye in 1995.
The limited edition Omega Seamaster James Bond 50th Anniversary watch comes in 41 mm and 36.25 mm cases. The 41 mm version will be limited to 11,007 pieces while the 36 mm version will be limited to 3,007 pieces and comes with a diamond at the 7 o’clock index position.
The watches come with stainless steel cases and feature a black ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel with the 50 minute marker in red to emphasize the 50th anniversary. The lacquered black dial features a 007 monogram, I’m not too sure if this looks cool or cheesy? Other than that, the dial is pretty simple with three hands, a date window at the 3 o’clock position, and indexes with Super-LumiNova applied to them. The case back is designed to look like the barrel of a gun and the rotor has the design of the back of a bullet, visible through a small sapphire window.
The Omega Seamaster James Bond 50th Anniversary watch is powered by OMEGA Calibre 2507 co-axial self-winding automatic movement and it’s water resistant to 300 meters. No word on pricing yet.
