James Bond Seamaster Omega 300m

James Bond and The Seamaster Omega Watch relationship started in 1995 with Pierce Brosnan, the 007 agent in GoldenEye.

Take note, this was a bold change from the Rolex watches, worn by the prior James Bonds; played by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, and Roger Moore.

The change was based on a decision made by Lindy Hemming, James Bond’s costume designer in GoldenEye. Unlike in the 1960’s, Hemming thought the Rolex became too common and not distinctive enough for James Bond. Lindy made an executive decision and switched things up to Switzerland based watch manufacture,The Omega. This gave our new James a more ‘Euro’ and sophisticated look. The aim was for a newer and minimul British Gentleman, a persona necessary for Bond.

In GoldenEye, James Bond wore The Omega Seamaster Pro, model number 2541.80.

Now in Bond’s next three films, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day, Brosnan made a slight change and worn a different watch, the Omega Seamaster Professional Automatic, version model # 2531.80. A Blue Bezel, Steel Bracelet Professional Chronometer.

There are very subtle and minor changes in the two watches, one being that the Omega worn in GoldenEye was a battery operated Quartz, while the next three had the Automatic technology, but besides that, nothing very noticeable (though a ~$400 price difference). Both watches did sport the blue Bezel and a stainless steel bracelet.

In 2006 James Bond premiered in a new film, Casino Royal. This came with it new actor, Daniel Craig, and with him a new Seamaster Omega Watch.

The Seamaster Pro was replaced with the Omega Semaster Planet Ocean Big Size 2900.50.91 model. This watch has a 45.5 millimeters diameter and for the first time in the Omega / James Bond relationship, Bond wore a rubber strapped Seamaster Omega.

The second watch in Casino Royal was the 2220.80 300m. This was a smaller size, a case diameter of 41mm compared to the Planet Ocean’s 45.5mm.

The 300m, Ref# 2220.80, is also a stainless steel bracelet version, while the Planet Ocean, Ref # 2900.50.91, had a rubber strap.

Notably, The Omega Men’s Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Watch #2900.50.91 has received nothing but the best of reviews.

Yet in James Bond’s 2008 move, Quantum of Solace, Daniel Craig sports a brand new never before seen Seamaster Omega Watch model. This Omega is still a Planet Ocean; The 600m Co-Axial Chronometer #2201.50.00 model, with a blank dial and steel bracelet.

If you are a Bond fan or an Omega enthusiasts, you will know this is the first time 007 has worn a stainless steel bracelet with a black dial. Bond has been wearing stainless steel Seamasters the feature the classic blue dials since 1995. The Seamaster Planet Ocean in Quantum of Solace is a big change for James Bond

Most of the models mentioned above do come in a Limited Edition. Omega limited these Seamasters to 10,007, making them instant hard to find collectors items.

Seamaster Omega Planet OceanPersonally, I’m a fan of Omega Seamaster Watches, first seen to the world in 1948.  I created this page for your own, and my, personal resource for anything pertaining to the Seasmater Omega Watch.

Though the Seamaster brand has been represented by celebrities; including James Bond, Dhani Jones, and Cindy Crawford, the Seamaster is made for diving, hence the name “Sea-Master.”

Omega was the first to create a water-proof or water resistent watch.

These watches have always led the conquest of ocean depths.  One feature this timepiece has that very few other “Diving Watches” incorporate is the helium release valve.  Built right into the case, this allows Seamasters sustain critical level of pressure during diving.

Seamasters use a man-made Sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating applied to undercoat, and in some model even the top side.  The Sapphire crystal makes the Omega faces virtually scratch resistant, while the AR coating improves visibility.

The clasps of the Omega SMP’s watches use a familiar two-button deployment type clasp, which is both extremely study and easily opened.

For whatever reason you have come to this page looking for a Omega Seamaster Watch, I hope to have provide you with some great resources for your journey.

Historical achievements of The Omega Video:

OMEGA started its history back in 1848 in Chaux-de-Fonds, by Louis Brandt and later along with his son, Fils.

In 1932 OMEGA became the official watch of the Olympic Games, becoming the ‘Official TimeKeeper Of The Olympic Games‘  No other watch brand has ever been entrusted with such a monumental sporting event.

In 1969 Omega beat out Bulova, in a space-race, being the ‘First Watch To Land On The Moon‘ and commonly known as the “Moon Watch.”

Since then Omega watches were not only standard issued to all astronauts, but the watch of choice, passing all of NASA’s rigorous testings.  As the only watch to ever be associated with any of space exploration, Omega continues to be the leader in technology advances.

In 1999 the famous watch company launched the revolutionary Co-Axial movement.  This was developed with the brilliant British watchmaker George Daniels.  A hallmark in the 20’s Century of watchmaking innovation.

The Co-Axial system reduces sliding friction and thus establishes greater accuracy over long periods of time.
