Omeag Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial 41mm 'Spectre' Limited Editi
It's OMEGA and James Bond – what's not to love? The partnership between these two touchstones of culture and style has stretched over 25 years, nine films, and a wide range of commemorative watch releases in the Seamaster family.
Unlike other watch partnerships that feel forced or inauthentic, the one between OMEGA and James Bond simply works. It's a genuine relationship that goes back to the desires of the costume department on "GoldenEye," in 1995, who requested a watch that would reflect Bond's military background. Given OMEGA's historic relationship as a supplier to the British Armed Forces, the brand was a natural fit, and a Seamaster has adorned the wrist of James Bond from Pierce Brosnan, in 1995, all the way up to Daniel Craig, in the upcoming "No Time To Die."
A limited edition of 7,007 (get it?) pieces released for "Spectre," 2015's James Bond film du jour. Worn by Daniel Craig in the film, we appreciate this model's lollipop seconds hand and bidirectional 12-hour bezel. Riffing on OMEGA's Seamaster 300 platform from 2014, the overall design of this model resembles the very first dive watch to be a part of the Seamaster family, originally released in 1957. Its revival in 2014 was highly anticipated, and it's an ideal fit for anyone looking for a dive watch with old-school spirit but more than enough performance readiness, plus a dash of super spy charm.
This Omega Seamaster 300 "Spectre" Limited Edition is in overall excellent pre-owned condition, which indicates that there are signs of very light wear, possibly some small scratches on the case or bracelet. The case has been professionally refinished. The clasp of the bracelet and keeper on the additional NATO strap feature the "007" James Bond branding. The watch is numbered out of 7,007 pieces on the caseback. The rear of the seven o'clock lug is marked with the case serial number. During our quality control check, any necessary adjustments are made to ensure the watch is functioning as intended.
In 1894, La Generale Watch Company developed a system for interchangeable movement parts, which it marketed as the OMEGA brand from La Generale Watch Company. This brand proved to be very successful, and in 1903, OMEGA was spun off into its own company. In the following decades, OMEGA went on to become not only one of Switzerland’s largest and best-known watchmakers but also one of the world's most recognizable global brands. The most pivotal period for OMEGA came in the 1960s when America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) chose the OMEGA Speedmaster for the Apollo 11 mission to the Moon. This achievement, paired with its regular timing of both the summer and winter Olympic Games, has bestowed upon OMEGA a global reputation as a maker of precision timekeepers trusted to perform when performance matters most.
