Omega Commemorates 50 Years Of James Bond

To celebrate fifty years of James Bond films, OMEGA is releasing a special update of the popular Seamaster Diver 300m James Bond watch that has been worn by 007 in every adventure since GoldenEye. The watch has been around since 1947, with the classic timepiece synonymous with James Bond in his later years/movies, when it replaced the Rolex Submariner. According to the  write-up for the limited edition watch, it 'uses a '007 theme' on the black lacquer dial with '50' filled in with red on the outer bezel. The watch also offers Omega’s caliber 2507 co-axial movement, with the winding rotor designed to look like a bullet. It's also inscribed with '50 years of James Bond.' The limited edition Seamaster is being sold worldwide in an edition of 11,007 pieces, with a shelf date of 'some time early this year'. No mention of price as yet, but as both a classic watch and a limited edition, this is unlikely be one of the cheaper watches on the market.
