FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
For a No Limit game of poker in Casino Royale or, for that matter, anywhere else in the world, this novel limited edition has everything it takes to score a winning hand.
Since the 1995-release of GoldenEye, Omega has been adorning the wrist of the most famous British secret service agent for all his cinematographic missions. This year, for his new adventures in No Time to Die, a Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Platinum Gold joins the collection of the 007-engraved timepieces. Although, at first glance, the model may look just like the previous creations, it does however stand out through the material used for its 42 mm-diameter case: platinum gold. Its black-enameled dial features a spiraling gun-barrel design which is, this time round, fashioned in white gold. The openworked hour and minute hands hover over large rounded indexes and the Bond family coat-of-of arms at 12 o’clock. These elements are coated with luminescent material gifting the watch with perfect readability under any light conditions.
The timepiece, ever-so elegant just like our favorite adventurer, is always on cue to brave any danger with its ability to dive to depths of 300 meters. Its ceramic unidirectional bezel decorated with a relief-style platinum scale secures any underwater excursion. Inside this case, tailored like a tuxedo, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8807 caliber reigns supreme. This self-winding movement delivering a power reserve of some 55 hours resists magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.
This limited edition is worn on a leather strap clasped by a buckle crafted in the same material as the case. It comes presented in an exclusive Globe-Trotter® suitcase accompanied by a second rubber strap.
