Bonded with Omega
Since GoldenEye in 1995, James Bond (the world’s most famous secret agent), has been wearing an Omega watch. If you are an avid Bond fan, you will have seen these watches on his wrist in Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, , Quantum of Solace and Skyfall.
To commemorate this lasting partnership with Mr. Bond, Omega release several limited edition watches that honor the man and the legend. Let’s take a look at two of these special timepieces.
SEAMASTER 300 M Chronometer
After the success of the Die Another Day limited edition watch in 2002, Omega designed a Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axil 41mm after the movie Casino Royale. This watch featured the 007 and gun logo, and a spiral watch face resembling the barrel of a gun. This design was inspired by the iconic opening credits wear James Bond faces the camera and shoots.

The 007 logo is featured along the whole watch face in a diagonal pattern, with the 50 seconds featured in red. The back of the watch is the coolest part.
