For James Bond Day, Omega has released six Seamaster Diver 300M watches, split between 007 and his old enemy Spectre, including two 77-piece sets with platinum-gold models.
Omega has supplied the watch on 007’s wrist in every Bond film since GoldenEye in 1995. Every special edition it has made since then has backed the good guys. That changes today. For James Bond Day, Omega has released a Seamaster Diver 300M collection that gives Spectre, Bond’s criminal nemesis, its own watches for the first time.
There are six watches in total. Three carry Bond symbols and three carry Spectre symbols. Two steel models are sold individually, and the other four come in two limited-edition sets.
Same Watch, Different Allegiance
All six watches use the Seamaster Diver 300M No-Date, which Omega launched in 2024. Its lineage goes back to the Seamaster Professional 300M of 1993. So which side should you pick? Mechanically, it makes no difference. The two steel editions share the same specifications and differ only in how they look.
Both use the familiar 42mm steel case, which measures 14.23mm thick and 50mm from lug to lug. They also share the lyre-shaped lugs, the helium escape valve at 10 o’clock and a box-shaped sapphire crystal. Each is water-resistant to 300m and comes on a brushed steel mesh bracelet.
Inside is Omega’s Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. This automatic, co-axial movement resists magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss and holds 55 hours of power reserve. Both COSC and METAS certify it.
Blue for Bond, Black for the Bad Guys
The Bond edition has a blue aluminium dial with laser-engraved waves, a nod to the Seamasters of the 1990s. A coat of arms marks 12 o’clock. The bezel is grade 5 titanium with a raised diving scale. Turn the watch over and you’ll find a rotor shaped like the famous gun barrel.
Spectre, fittingly, is darker. It has a black grained dial and a black ceramic bezel insert, and its hands and markers are the standard Seamaster items. The real flourish sits on the back, where a blackened rotor takes the shape of the organisation’s octopus logo. Nice.
Both steel models are non-limited and go on sale today through Omega boutiques and online. Each costs EUR 8,500 including taxes, or USD 8,600 before taxes.
The Platinum-Gold Sets
Omega is also making 77 sets for each side. Every set pairs a numbered steel watch with a version in Omega’s platinum-gold alloy, which is about 95% platinum. The precious-metal watches come on alligator straps and have polished ceramic bezels with platinum diving scales.
Their dials are solid white gold with guilloché patterns. On the Bond watch, a blue gradient coating covers a gun-barrel motif. On the Spectre watch, a grey-to-black gradient covers an engraved octopus pattern. The rotor emblems are in 18k Moonshine Gold.
Each set also includes cufflinks, a loupe, a NATO strap, a cord bracelet and a leather travel pouch. The watches are not sold separately. A set costs EUR 88,500 including taxes, or USD 89,800 before taxes.
A New Angle on a Long Partnership
Omega’s last Bond special edition marked the franchise’s 60th anniversary in 2022. Under the dials, this collection doesn’t change much. What’s new is that buyers can now choose a side. For the cost of a steel Seamaster, Spectre fans finally get an octopus rotor of their own.
