3 Things You NEED To Know BEFORE Buying The OMEGA Seamaster James Bond Watch

[@FirstGenMD]

I just got one and love it. It is absolutely stunning. The color and finish is quite unique and the titanium and thinner case increase the wearability. The boutique threw in both straps which should be standard at this price point.

[@mrbrightside3771]

how much did you pay for it?

[@thecomedian6920]

Bought the milanese version a few days ago. My wife, after seeing it on me at the AD, insisted that i buy it - much to my surprise. My panerai watches she could care less about but this one sparked her interest. I think it's Omegas best watch ever.

[@mohammadhamdan9129]

[@aztan2819]

[@wingyuheung8398]

[@johnwelsh2152]

As a long-time Breitling collector, with 3 Omegas in my collection, I cant stop wearing this 007 Edition. I have the Milanese and Nato straps, and swap between the both. My only criticism was the cost of adding the Nato strap! Haven't stopped wearing it for the past 2 weeks of ownership. Love it!

[@bsnk46yt]

Probably you are not mistaken.

[@jamesledbetter7998]

This watch captures the essence of the 007 experience having been released to coincide with Daniel Craig's final performance as 007 and ironically the same year of Sean Connery's passing. My purchase of this watch was to commerate the great movie memories that both provided. Thanks for the memories!

[@penepatitenor]

This is my most favourite watch. When I received I knew, that this would be mine forever. What a great watch.

[@Beckmesser84]

I started following you after a concert in Torroella de Montgri in 2016 (a few years ago), and now knowing that this is your favorite watch you have just convinced me ;)

[@flynnjp19]

I am a Rolex person, but this is definitely the most beautiful Seamaster ever, great collector potential

[@Dudeshootsdove]

This is the best Seamaster Omega has made up to date. The colours and titanium mix beautifully. Great review 👍🏼

[@bajamedic]

I love the all brushed look.

[@BennyRivera]

Worth every penny. It's much better in person. Go try it on. Currently, the most exciting diver in the collection. Super light, but heavy enough to know it's there. With the slimmer case, it beautifully slides under the cuff. The titanium bracelet is comfortable and stunning. The NATO strap is also a must. Most likely your boutique won't carry it. I purchased the strap at an Omega store. This edition is a welcome deviation from Rolex (nothing there to compare). Extremely balanced and the domed crystal looks incredible, especially from certain angles. Omega at its finest.

[@ewoo]

An instant classic. Really bummed that they did not use a movement with the jump-hour feature like heritage Seamaster 300!

[@Ronald-g3z]

My new dream watch!! Love it.

[@imranbecks]

1:26 Toughness of titanium is laughable on this one. Some have already broken their titanium mesh bracelet where it meets the endlinks and as such, Omega has redesigned the endlinks of the titanium mesh on the more recent batches for sale. More info about this over at the Omega Forums.

[@stackhouse22]

I don’t think you should question the strength of the material here but the processing of the bracelet done by Omega or their supplier. Anyway, Omega reacted and the weakness should be no problem any more.

[@genos245]

Just picked this up today with both straps, NATO and TI. Fantastic watch! Love the weight and especially the lumes on the chocolate dial/bezel. Definitely a Collector's Watch! Thx.

[@andrewharper4296]

Did you order the NATO strap at the same time? Just curious.

[@123ClassicRock]

Did you purchase the bracelet watch and then order NATO or purchase NATO watch and then order bracelet? And what did the price look like to add the second bracelet/strap option?

[@ithehappy1]

Great watch. Excellent design. Not so sure about no date thing, but above all exorbitant pricing.

[@bena2591]

As I own several automatic watches, I actually have come to appreciate the "no date". First of all it is a simpler, cleaner look. 2nd I do not have the hassle of setting the date when watch has not been in use, and 3rd I wear the watch more as "jewelry" than function - so if I need more than the time, I will just check my phone. The original idea of leaving out the date is that a secret agent/Navy officer with a mission already knows the date, and the life and death info is the TIME. (No time to die ;)

[@GhostWolf141]

Being an omega lover, I’d love them to do away with the helium escape vale and have a built in one similar to Rolex. Yeah I know omega have watches that don’t have any valve, but with the seamaster I think it would look good without it.

[@bena2591]

Yes - I have this watch and that escape valve is just plain silly. I like this watch does not have "007" plastered all over the front/sides, and only very discretely on the back. I feel the same with the escape valve - no real function but to "show off", nobody goes deep sea diving with it and the valve can be hit away (like w Rolex) anyway - if they really think the watch need it.

[@crodo123]

The strap is a callout to a rolex he wore in goldfinger.

Maybe the best Ω watch ever is the classic Speedmaster but in diver section the new 007 I think is the best diver ever. Simplicity is always more preferable. This watch is definitely much much better on NATO strap. Looks more tactical as it should.

[@TheRamonio]

Definitely on the Milanese bracelet all the way. I tried both models and both are super light, but also and as usual, I would most of the times suggest to purchase any high end time piece with its metal (whatsoever) bracelet rather than its original NATO or leather strap, unless obviously, comes either with these last 2 original/manufacture’s straps -you can further buy the OEM NATO and/or leather strap(s). Lastly but not the least, great vid content including the commander’s inputs for the making of this unique watch for his last film in the 007 franchise, which definitely will make this time piece one of the most iconic divers in time.

[@ivo2635]

I think it’s a very well executed watch but it’s way too expensive. In terms of specs it’s very similar to the Tudor Pelagos which costs considerably less and even has a matte ceramic bezel which I wish Omega had used for this model. Also with the Pelagos you get both a rubber strap and a very well made bracelet. In my opinion this watch shouldn’t cost more than 25% more than the regular Seamaster 300 does on a bracelet and and they should include both the nato and the bracelet for that price.

I think the previous Bond watch looks better: The Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial Spectre edition (with Lollipop second hand). Or even the classic non-Spectre. More dressy-vintage-simple design. Yes titanium is a plus but the vintage-yellow color is too much. This could have been more subtile on that vintage touch.

[@Chris_BQ]

I'll never get used to that helium esc valve......and on this particular one: that vintage inspired fake patina is a bit 'in your face', not very subtle

[@1SaG]

It's one thing for me to wear a fauxtina-equipped homage watch to, say, Connery's Rolex from Goldfinger. But for the Bond-character to be wearing a retro-looking watch with fauxtina on it? Not too sure about that. And while I'm still not sold on the Omega/Bond relationship in general, I think I still prefer him wearing the Aqua Terra or the Planet Ocean. Those just fit Craig's version of the character way better, IMO.

I now own a 41mm Seamaster 300, 45mm Titanium Planet Ocean 600M (LOVE IT) and a 41mm Aqua Terra with white teak dial. Omega, in my opinion, is a far superior timepiece. Rolex has gone down the millennial road with gaudy, tacky and over polished pieces.
