Omega has been the choice of James Bond since 1995’s GoldenEye, in which the spy wore a Seamaster. With 2017 marking the 50th anniversary of You Only Live Twice, the 40th anniversary of The Spy Who Loved Me and the 20th anniversary of Tomorrow Never Dies, Omega is releasing a special edition timepiece called the Commander’s Watch, paying tribute to the British Royal Navy and of course the Commander himself.
The Seamaster has been updated with additional 007 touches with subtlety. The central seconds hand features the 007 gun logo counterweight. The number 7 in the date window is coloured red while all other numbers are in blue. At the back of the watch there are three stripes linking to the Commander’s naval insignia and the 007 logo once again appears. The watch is matched with a NATO strap and presented in a special box containing a stainless steel bracelet with the 007 logo, a changing tool and a “naval pin” that mirrors the design of the NATO strap.
The Commander’s Watch is available in two options: stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. The stainless steel model is limited to just 7,007 examples and the gold version to just seven examples.
