Name something more iconic than James Bond and Omega (besides Michael and Christian...HA kidding! ZING!). There are few brand pairings as legendary as these two (to be honest the runner up is probably the Speedmaster and the moon). However, when celebrating Bond's 60th anniversary Omega may have made one of their biggest mistakes ever. Well...kinda. Find out today!

Thought I’d share this…first the rainbow dial Seamaster is very limited. I think 300. The yellow and green stones are a nod to the Jamaican flag. Why Jamaica? The first Bond film, Dr No, took place in Jamaica 60 years ago! Constructing a Milanese mesh bracelet in white gold is no easy feat. Those pieces are already allocated I’m sure. 🍸🍸
Will Brosnan get one? Hmmmm
Ian Fleming's house, Goldeneye was in Jamaica. He wrote most of the books there and that is why Dr. No. was set in Jamaica, not far from Fleming's house.
@@rhysgriffiths9269 True. I’ll toast a Vesper to that 🍸
Correct. I like the color and the nod to Jamaica. Ian spent a lot of time here writing the 007 books. Also, Live and Let Die and No Time to die were filmed in Jamaica. Bond and Jamaica have plenty of history together.
I figured they would have done their homework before posting this. I wonder if they even know the back Bond moves and animates?
This video would've been so different if these guys would've known that these watches have an amazing feature on the caseback.. an actual animation of Bond walking in the gun barrel.. truly mesmerizing!
I don’t know what rock they’ve been under.
@@complicatedtime I know! Makes you wonder if they even did any research before making this video.. that's really weird considering these guys love and are Omega fans..
I agree, I personally think the case back is freaking cool
@@anthonyoquendo5197 I think a lot of watch channels like this do a disservice by reviewing watches they are NOT even holding in their hands. Also, Michael Kristy has no pedigree in this industry that justifies his POV or voice - he should remain “behind the camera” in this business. When he speaks, it reminds me of this: ua-cam.com/video/5hfYJsQAhl0/v-deo.html
@@complicatedtime😂
Great video guys!! I feel you forgot to mention that the caseback of the new Omega 60th anniversary bond watch has an actual animation of Daniel Craig walking in the gun barrel and NOT a hologram like the Seiko has.. IMHO I think it's freaking awesome! Keep up the great content guys🙌⌚️😃👍
@OfficialTheoAndHarris Thanks for messaging me back guys! Love your channel and it would be cool if you can do another video on the 60th anniversary Bond once you have hands-on especially the steel and blue dial, to see if your reactions and perspective on this piece would be the same or drastically change.. or just make a quick follow up video to mention all the small details you forgot to describe like the 60 min marker on the bezel and what it means, animation on the caseback, caseback locked down with screws, domed crystal, and a little more on the movement specs.. that would be so awesome and your subscribers especially the Omega Bond fans would definitely appreciate it.. thanks again boys!🙌⌚️😃👍
The gems represent the color of the Jamaican flag, where Fleming wrote the novels. The dial color is supposed to represent the sand color near Fleming's villa, the Goldeneye.
Hence, the James Bond caseback.
Then it is an Ian Fleming watch, not a Bond watch, but I get it. The Bond branding sells more
Not picking up on the "60" instead of the pip on the bezel of the non gem set watch, not picking up on the tie to Jamaica on the gem set watch, not picking up on the animation effect on the casebacks. What's going on boys? I'm used to more attention to detail from y'all!
Totally correct Sir.. they forgot all the key details that make the blue one a subtle beauty.. looks like they didn't do any research before making this video.. a true disservice to an iconic and technical masterpiece..
Love starting off my mornings with a t&h video keep it up guys 🔥
These videos are 70% paid promotions and watch shop plugs, and the remaining 30% is just Theo and Michael showing stock photos of watches whilst talking in the background. Enjoy the reading boys!
Love watching you both as always. Enjoyed how raw the show was. Thank you for making it. I have to say that I’m a little disappointed that you both didn’t know the real story behind the watch. I‘ve become accustomed to a deep dive. Regardless, I do appreciate you making the video. Thank you.
100% agree about the Speedmaster aluminum bezel. I truly wish (for myself) that they would release a aluminum bezel/hesalite Seamaster!
Am I the only one that sees that rainbow seamaster bezel and thinks of the health meter in goldeneye on n64… can’t be a coincidence
I am so excited to get my vintage Felca as first purchase from T&H that is an homage to my grandfather. Keep doing your thing guys, Cheers 🍷
Yes to making curved mesh bracelets. And preferably ones where the mesh goes all the way. Hate the ones with the tube on the end..
Can’t they make a mesh nato?
How can you not like the moving bond animation ??
Christian. I hope you know you can never lose Michael! You two are the perfect duo!
When Michael speaks, he reminds me of this: ua-cam.com/video/5hfYJsQAhl0/v-deo.html
That is SO true!
Timothy Dalton is a very underrated Bond
Timothy Dalton?!?? Dont ever disrespect your dad like that again 🤣🤣🤣
Christian, recognizing your excitement on the GS lion on the crystal caseback in your footage, I wonder if you MAYBE once should have a look at the back of the watch, you’re actually wearing here. 😂 You might be surprised.
Love the chaos of this. Great show.
@theoandharris. The bezel (especially if turned 90 degrees clockwise) is the life and armour bar from the golden eye n64 game which is displayed on James bonds watch !!!
I may be wrong but goldeneye was on n64. On GameCube was nightfire and agent under fire
Website is missing a hyperlink on the description. Was actually trying to look up your watches for sale. I saw it last week and I was like damn, this is a cool curated collection for solid prices.
Fuck yeah, I immediately drop what I'm doing when a Theo and Harris notification comes up
22.38 dad comes in..best part of the video. I'm the baby of 10 kids, we picked names for years. My parents are 90. Well done 👏 ✔ love it. Thank you for keeping it in.~me 48, dad of daughter buying baller watches.
The side-by-side comparison makes the Seamaster's gem colors feel so much more sophisticated and intentional as opposed to the Daytona's. I can see why this watch is so polarizing but it definitely has potential for future iterations.
I agree with you on the old style bracelet. I’ve never really liked them.
Christian can you please share the buy link/brand page of your eyeglasses?
Always love your quality content by the way Theo & Harris
The one point where the Rolex gem gradient doesn’t stand up to me is the yellow to green it’s pretty abrupt while the other stones mix better. The omegas green and yellow mix is better but that’s all they focused on. I am sure they saw the same thing I did. 100% I have seen this watch and have said that. That was my take away actually that the yellow to green isn’t as prefect on the rainbow as all the other transitions are
Please remember your talking about treated stones with Omega versus Rolex
“Goldeneye on GameCube?” Literally unwatchable.
*N64
After discovering the James Bond stamp maybe you'll rethink the abrupt transition of jewel colors at the 3 and 9 positions? The problem is that the abruptness isn't abrupt enough. It would've been better with a smooth transition of colors to take away any doubt.
I got the older 90s omega seamaster professional 300m it's been amazing and been everywhere with me. Even when I was sent across seas when I was in army to Iraq. And I didn't take it off and it's still in amazing shape ;) their extremely tough watches and beautiful. Their not cheap by no means 4k to $7900 and above isn't cheap by anymeans. But their worth every penny and if you want a Rolex sub but don't wanna spend the ridiculously high price for it. Pick up the seamaster they look very similar both amazing and the omega can be got at a lower price atm.. now in the future they most likely will cost much more then they do now. So best time to get the omega seamasters is now I wouldn't wait ;)
the "Bond on the back" moves, look at it in motion before your final judgement.
100% agree, the back of this Seamster ref is absolute trash.
Michael is Dean Martin, Christian is Jerry Lewis. NUFF SAID 💯
Midnight in Australia. New video is a good way to spend some time.
Not sure about anyone else - but, I’m kinda over Omega’s obsession with James Bond and 007. They have amazing technology and design components that stand on there own. It’s cool the watch was featured in Bond movies (and I’m sure they saw the returns on their product placement) - but the Seamaster is so much more than that as a sports watch.
Come on guys. Research this stuff. Whether you like the watch or not, all the nods to Bond geeks - like the Jamaican flag colors, is already widely disclosed.
Maybe the stone colour jumps are to aid the readability of the time when you turn the bezel
Mostly agree. Std one is very nice, beautiful blue, bracelet looks fantastic, much better than their usual ones. $170k LE doesn’t work; stones don’t go with the dial color.
12:50 Woah what’s with that Swatch?
12:54 And the 3x priced Jellyfish
Lol no one’s gonna mention Michaels “smell the seat covers”😂
So at first the NTTD Seamaster was considered overpriced and now it turns out to be the best deal 😄
This one was super funny, hell yeah!! 🙌
I like them I like the bezel on both of them I don’t like the disruption of the case back but I do like the gems way to go to get up to the next level!!! Go Omega
21:25 Human rights have no borders
What kind watch is Michael wearing? Looks like a Zenith a3818 but black?
Enjoyed the plot twist! I love Omegas and I enjoyed listening to fellow Omeganites dishing and bitching. Comments of this video is very illuminating as well! The comment that the bezel harkens to the Jamaican flag was very insightful.
Would love to buy one.....I did have a seamaster and felt I had to sell it to use it for some bills. Womp womp. One day I'll get another.
too much talk .
Why don't you guys put a link to your website in the description? Also did you hear about the Jamaica connection?
guys please see above @theoandharris
You guys make me laugh. Thanks !
GS have been doing that for years. My SBGR061 that I have owned since 2016 has the same hologram style caseback marking. I love it as it is there when you want it and not when you don´t, Oh and there is only one Bond, Roger Moore. He camped it up and they were funny. Crap now they take themselves too seriously.
Leave the nonsense behind, this watches are gorgeous 😍, the diamond one is so beautiful in person, that dial 😍 u are just reviewing the render, gold canopus with natural silicone dial, and green diamonds, the caseback ufff in my omega AD there is waiting list for at least 10 of the new one. U need to review this in person.
You are right on the money Sir!! I think this video would've had a different perspective on these watches if these guys would've known that the caseback has an amazing animation of Bond walking in the gun barrel.. which they didn't mention.. that feature is freaking cool and worth the premium.. 🙌⌚️😃👍
@@anthonyoquendo5197 this are BOND anniversary watches, what do they expect? Speedmaster? Lol, the caseback is so hot 🔥, and if u don't like it at least is in the caseback, u don't need to see it unless u grab ur watch and turn it over, but what's not to admire? Is easy to critizes a render pic, u need to see the real deal in person, grab it with ur hands look at it, feel it, and admire it, easy as that.
@@impoautosguatemala9847 so true bro.. I've got the NTTD titanium and the new Green Seamaster and I'm on the waiting list for this 60th anniversary.. you can imagine how excited I am.. i can't wait and i haven't even seen it in person.. i can imagine that it's spectacular.. the perfect 3 Seamaster watch collection 🔥🔥🔥
@@anthonyoquendo5197 wow 😍 😱 I also have the NTTD and is my favorite watch, and the seamaster black black and I'm also on the waiting list for the new one hahaha I'm also trying to get that trilogy 😀 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
@@impoautosguatemala9847 Congrats bro! Awesome collection! The Black Black is 🔥🔥🔥.. I'm considering that one too.. maybe after I get the 60th Bond.. 💪⌚️😃👍
Goldeneye on GameCube? Real OG's played it on Nintendo 64.
Spring Drive. Is your first ride, after removing your ❄️ snow tires in late March . 🤔 !
I want one....in 18 months! I love it!
You guys are nuts. Omega knocked another out of the park.
Particularly liked the special guest appearance from the godfather with his postit note
We currently live in a world of really well-preserved 2000s Seamasters for under $3k. With rose-milled wave dials and non-skeletonized hands. No need to spend any more for a gorgeous watch.
Joe’s Ashley now knows who their Secret Santa is.
It’s a 60 anniversary of James Bond watch, it’s not so bad to have the James Bond case back. It’s also a toy watch, so, it’s a 160K omega toy Bond watch. I think it’s very cool. I like it way more that the Daytona. Cleaner.
Omega gemset Perfectly matches Christian's sweater
I myself prefer aluminum bezels love the character they develop and tell a story when having the watch for many years. Ceramic is overrated especially the shiny ones
Do you get a James Bond action figure, playing cards or bubble gum with that hokey Seamaster. Omega going overboard on the 007 marketing as usual.
Gamecube?? Nintendo 64... this guy is getting everything wrong.
There is GoldenEye: Rogue Agent on Gamecube
@@EthanRom where's golden eye known for? Gamecube or 64?
@@impoautosguatemala9847 I know what you're getting at, but it could be just that they played during the Gamecube, PS2 era since Christian and Michael are around 26-7 years old so their early childhood would be in the early to mid 2000s
I hate that helium release valve. Has it ever been used?
bring back the 90s seamasters
The aluminum bezel is a good start. Tritium on the dial would take it over the top. My Bond 2531.80 from 1994 has the best patina that I have ever seen in person. It will go to my grave with me hopefully in many many years.....
The competitor to that watch is NOT a Rainbow Daytona, in any form. 1st off the RBOWs sell for more than double to 4 times the price of that watch. And, of course that watch is not a chronograph. This would be more like a Rolex 126755SARU or some other blinged/iced out rappers "sport" watch. That being said, had I FU money I'd buy a 116599RBOW to pimp as well.
Timothy Dalton is the best bond as hes the closest to what Fleming envisioned in his books and both his movies are very strong. I love this new Seamaster but id have to sell my Tag Heuer Night Diver reissue(Dalton wore the original in The Living Daylights) and Tudor BB Pro and would still be short of the $7200 price tag. I see this being a $5600 watch and not the $7000 it is. I wish the current SMP300 used this wave dial and matte bezel
Timothy Dalton was awful lol
@@BourbonInhibitions lol gotta love when casual Bond fans or people who don’t keep up with the movies give their opinions on a topic they know so little about. Its like the people in the media who think Bond should be a woman
Serica has a curved end mesh bracelet for their dive watch model.
Jamaica, guys. Goldeneye. Dr No. Green and yellow.
agree
Coloured bezel is nice...grey dial is nice...but not on the same watch
Put the gold seamaster on a black rubber strap. Wicked.
Cough, N64.
What is Michael's watch today?
Probably a far stretch but I wonder if the green and yellow is a nod to the James Bond and Jamaica. As it is location which Dr No takes place and Ian Fleming loves Jamaica. They used green and yellow for the Jamaican flag.
exactly why
@@jimlittle5769 Holy crap I just now looked it up to confirm. Throughout that portion of the video I didn’t think of that until I saw the James Bond decal on the back. Omega did a great job in conveying that without telling me 😂
@@soulboxphoto Well, yeah, I'm not a fan of that watch overall (love the Seamaster 300M and the steel version of this watch), but I get why they made it with those colors. Like you said, it doesn't need to do the caseback like that to reaffirm it was a Bond watch.
@@jimlittle5769 as beautiful as the omega movement is, if they really want to show its a bond watch, I think metal case back with an engraved logo, maybe just 007 with the gun, would have been more tasteful than that ugly decal. Or maybe make it a Hunter style caseback so you can still see the movement.
The seconds hand is goofy.
There’s no red Seamaster on the dial.
The bezel is apparently not ceramic.
The bracelet looks tacked on.
Quartz controls the "balance wheel".
Waiting for China 1st copy with Seiko Movement in it. 😂😂
Ruined? Naw, I think it's a move in the new direction for the younger buyer. I honestly like them, but the price is 😥
Cannabis Gold? More like Bong Water Gold..
GameCube? You mean N64. Lol Shame!
You guys are hilarious 🤣 👍👍👍👍
Yep, was going on the Omega ride with you and then felt like I got kicked in the balls. WTF is wrong with Omega?? $165k?? Really?? What??
Omega is always steady swagger jacking Rolex.
completely disagree with caseback. The snoopy speedy is popular 100% because of that caseback. What omega does with their caseback on the new bond watch is original and fun.
nonsense is the best. keep it going bros
Are/is plural argument hahaha. As a native English speaker living in Sweden. I have had this argument multiple times. Christian is 100% correct
Christian are 100% correct*
@@TheoandHarrishahaha get outta here
A couple of genuine ding bats right here.
2 colors, green and yellow, / Jamaican flag / James Bond
Would $6,700 USD be a good price to buy a Rolex 1803 on a strap without box or papers ?
Goldeneye was on N64 not gamecube FYI
23:00 Godfather cameo?
GoldenEye on N64. Those were the days.
The coloured omega matches Christian's top
How T&H ruined their vids with inane sponsorship, products to which none of us punters are remotely interested 🤔 in. I'll give you a pass on square ⬛ 😉
Wish Omega would make a 40mm Seamaster 300m.
Women’s line?
I like them ...
Goldeneye came out for Nintendo 64, not GameCube
How ruined? for money, for money only😊.
