As a long-time Breitling collector, with 3 Omegas in my collection, I cant stop wearing this 007 Edition. I have the Milanese and Nato straps, and swap between the both. My only criticism was the cost of adding the Nato strap! Haven't stopped wearing it for the past 2 weeks of ownership. Love it!
I just got one and love it. It is absolutely stunning. The color and finish is quite unique and the titanium and thinner case increase the wearability. The boutique threw in both straps which should be standard at this price point.
Bought the milanese version a few days ago. My wife, after seeing it on me at the AD, insisted that i buy it - much to my surprise. My panerai watches she could care less about but this one sparked her interest. I think it's Omegas best watch ever.
This watch captures the essence of the 007 experience having been released to coincide with Daniel Craig's final performance as 007 and ironically the same year of Sean Connery's passing. My purchase of this watch was to commerate the great movie memories that both provided. Thanks for the memories!
Stunning watch a future classic for sure. I think the Nato strap is perfect. The titanium one is too bulky because of the way the deployment clasp is setup.
Worth every penny. It's much better in person. Go try it on. Currently, the most exciting diver in the collection. Super light, but heavy enough to know it's there. With the slimmer case, it beautifully slides under the cuff. The titanium bracelet is comfortable and stunning. The NATO strap is also a must. Most likely your boutique won't carry it. I purchased the strap at an Omega store. This edition is a welcome deviation from Rolex (nothing there to compare). Extremely balanced and the domed crystal looks incredible, especially from certain angles. Omega at its finest.
@@tomorrowcomestoday1621 I'll pay more when mine comes with a laser cutter and zip line built in. Otherwise, this should be in the 5k MSRP neighborhood.
As I own several automatic watches, I actually have come to appreciate the "no date". First of all it is a simpler, cleaner look. 2nd I do not have the hassle of setting the date when watch has not been in use, and 3rd I wear the watch more as "jewelry" than function - so if I need more than the time, I will just check my phone. The original idea of leaving out the date is that a secret agent/Navy officer with a mission already knows the date, and the life and death info is the TIME. (No time to die ;)
Definitely on the Milanese bracelet all the way. I tried both models and both are super light, but also and as usual, I would most of the times suggest to purchase any high end time piece with its metal (whatsoever) bracelet rather than its original NATO or leather strap, unless obviously, comes either with these last 2 original/manufacture’s straps -you can further buy the OEM NATO and/or leather strap(s). Lastly but not the least, great vid content including the commander’s inputs for the making of this unique watch for his last film in the 007 franchise, which definitely will make this time piece one of the most iconic divers in time.
Being an omega lover, I’d love them to do away with the helium escape vale and have a built in one similar to Rolex. Yeah I know omega have watches that don’t have any valve, but with the seamaster I think it would look good without it.
Yes - I have this watch and that escape valve is just plain silly. I like this watch does not have "007" plastered all over the front/sides, and only very discretely on the back. I feel the same with the escape valve - no real function but to "show off", nobody goes deep sea diving with it and the valve can be hit away (like w Rolex) anyway - if they really think the watch need it.
Just picked this up today with both straps, NATO and TI. Fantastic watch! Love the weight and especially the lumes on the chocolate dial/bezel. Definitely a Collector's Watch! Thx.
Did you purchase the bracelet watch and then order NATO or purchase NATO watch and then order bracelet? And what did the price look like to add the second bracelet/strap option?
I started following you after a concert in Torroella de Montgri in 2016 (a few years ago), and now knowing that this is your favorite watch you have just convinced me ;)
Maybe the best Ω watch ever is the classic Speedmaster but in diver section the new 007 I think is the best diver ever. Simplicity is always more preferable. This watch is definitely much much better on NATO strap. Looks more tactical as it should.
The $8000 price tag may seem high for now...in a few years we all wished we had purchased one...like the Omega Speedmaster Tintin and the Alaska Project...
@@echodent2360 I really want to buy one but I’m scared for the future value. The only omegas that increase in value are special editions and this isn’t. I’ve seen some for $7,650 and $7,990 for new. With tax and once you add in a titanium bracelet you’re looking at $9,700..
I think the previous Bond watch looks better: The Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial Spectre edition (with Lollipop second hand). Or even the classic non-Spectre. More dressy-vintage-simple design. Yes titanium is a plus but the vintage-yellow color is too much. This could have been more subtile on that vintage touch.
Personally, I think they have taken influence from the Tudor black bay fifty eight following its success. Just an opinion! Either way, it's a great looking watch!
1:26 Toughness of titanium is laughable on this one. Some have already broken their titanium mesh bracelet where it meets the endlinks and as such, Omega has redesigned the endlinks of the titanium mesh on the more recent batches for sale. More info about this over at the Omega Forums.
I don’t think you should question the strength of the material here but the processing of the bracelet done by Omega or their supplier. Anyway, Omega reacted and the weakness should be no problem any more.
My local AD has one in its window. It doesn’t really do much for me, the standard Diver 300m is nicer. It may not be a limited edition but apparently they are limiting its availability like the Snoopy speedy.
Love this watch - the input from Craig is important! I think the subtle changes makes it a future classic. I originally preferred the nato, but the titanium strap is stunning and I am not surprised that 80% prefer it! Anyone can grab a nice aftermarket nato for adding some variety!! Great video, great watch!!!
What is the case size? Is it back to the 41mm or still 42mm? and is it still a 8800 caliber with 55 hour power reserve or improved power reserve ? James bond have a wild night life and sometimes he too needs to wear his watch after a hard earned weekend 😉😄
It's one thing for me to wear a fauxtina-equipped homage watch to, say, Connery's Rolex from Goldfinger. But for the Bond-character to be wearing a retro-looking watch with fauxtina on it? Not too sure about that. And while I'm still not sold on the Omega/Bond relationship in general, I think I still prefer him wearing the Aqua Terra or the Planet Ocean. Those just fit Craig's version of the character way better, IMO.
So I have a situation. I have been offered a straight up trade for this watch on the nato strap for a 2020 rolex air king 116900. I can't decide what to do. Any thoughts from the community
@@_baller not at the poker table but he did fight the terrorist in the same outfit he was wearing at the poker table. And went from dinner to chasing Vesper in a car chase. Good thing he had a seamaster on😂
If I wanted to spend that kind of money on an Omega, I would pick the Speedmaster Blue Side of the Moon with aventurine dial. Full ceramic blue case, chronograph with date and moon phase and a watch that looks way more special.
I think it’s a very well executed watch but it’s way too expensive. In terms of specs it’s very similar to the Tudor Pelagos which costs considerably less and even has a matte ceramic bezel which I wish Omega had used for this model. Also with the Pelagos you get both a rubber strap and a very well made bracelet. In my opinion this watch shouldn’t cost more than 25% more than the regular Seamaster 300 does on a bracelet and and they should include both the nato and the bracelet for that price.
Its baffling to me how people don‘t like the bracelet. When I saw the watch up close in the Omega boutique I was like „what is THAT“ . I didnt even know its the 007.
I'll never get used to that helium esc valve......and on this particular one: that vintage inspired fake patina is a bit 'in your face', not very subtle
Thank you for your accuracy on it NOT being a limited edition... For this reason, and watches of switzerland telling me otherwise... I will NOT - consider its purchase at this price point - and will look somewhere else...
This is really a beautiful watch. It has a lot of character and feels great. I personally like the NATO strap as it captures all of the colors of the case. Simply well done and a must have in any timepiece collection.
Interesting thought, however, there is no comparable Rolex. No Rolex diver or any Rolex for that matter uses titanium. Also, Omegas movements are superior to Rolex. With that being said, I do love both brands. I do agree though that this particular Omega is overpriced and ALL Rolex’s are grossly overpriced.
@@tonyrome655 I would agree with you ! Particularly when it comes to Omega’s new calibers. I was thinking in particular a railmaster or the limited edition 1948 seamaster compared to a Rolex Explorer I . And how would you compare Omega’s 2500 caliber or new 8000 series caliber to Rolex Your thoughts?
I dislike 2 things. I’d rather have a coin edge type rotating bezel cause the one on this watch will be hard to turn with wet or sweaty fingers, and also the pressure release knob is distracting.
Not a fan of mesh, I’m getting the NATO version. Picking it up today. Even though this piece is comparable in price to a Submariner I think its popularity and eventual discontinuance will make it a classic collectible. I own a circa 1997 Sub and an older “roulette date wheel” DateJust. Always been a Rolex fan. UNTIL I bought my first Seamaster 300. I now own a 41mm Seamaster 300, 45mm Titanium Planet Ocean 600M (LOVE IT) and a 41mm Aqua Terra with white teak dial. Omega, in my opinion, is a far superior timepiece. Rolex has gone down the millennial road with gaudy, tacky and over polished pieces.
i think it is the most beautiful watch omega ever made
You re absolutely right 👍great and beautiful watch 👍
Nah, this sucks. It is the James limited edition that stands out the most.

I love the all brushed look.
An instant classic. Really bummed that they did not use a movement with the jump-hour feature like heritage Seamaster 300!

The strap is a callout to a rolex he wore in goldfinger.
