Omega releases its latest Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, this time with input from Daniel Craig as he prepares for the release of his last James Bond flick.
We think it’s safe to say that many of us are waiting for the latest James Bond movie’s release in April. No Time to Die will see Daniel Craig sipping martinis and slipping behind the wheel of the spy’s classic Aston Martin for the last time so Omega, which has a long relationship with the 007 franchise, took the actor’s design input as it created its latest Bond-themed timepiece.

Available from February, the new Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition has been built with military needs in mind, with a lightweight body accentuated by vintage design cues.
The 42 mm timepiece has been crafted from Grade 2 titanium, which is used for the case and titanium mesh bracelet with its innovative adjustable buckle. This material is strong and lightweight, making it perfect for an undercover agent.
To further decrease the weight, Omega has used “tropical” brown aluminium for the dial and bezel ring. These elements have been given a classic look, thanks to the vintage Super-LumiNova, which fills the diving scale, blackened hands and indexes.
On the caseback, you’ll find a series of numbers, which follow the format for genuine military-issue watches. “0552” is the code-number specified for Navy personnel, with “923 7697” being the number for a divers’ watch. The letter “A” is a code used to signify a watch with a screw-in crown, while “007” is a reference to James Bond’s iconic agent number. Finally, the number “62” is the year of the very first James Bond film.

The new watch is completed by a NAIAD LOCK caseback, which keeps all of the engravings in correct alignment. Inside, it is driven by a particularly impressive movement, the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which has achieved the industry’s highest standards of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance.
The watch will be available on the captivating titanium mesh bracelet, or on a striped NATO strap in dark brown, grey and beige with 007 engraved on the loop.
