FOR YOUR EYES ONLY

For a No Limit game of poker in Casino Royale or, for that matter, anywhere else in the world, this novel limited edition has everything it takes to score a winning hand.

Since the 1995-release of GoldenEye , Omega has been adorning the wrist of the most famous British secret service agent for all his cinematographic missions. This year, for his new adventures in No Time to Die , a Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Platinum Gold joins the collection of the 007-engraved timepieces. Although, at first glance, the model may look just like the previous creations, it does however stand out through the material used for its 42 mm-diameter case: platinum gold. Its black-enameled dial features a spiraling gun-barrel design which is, this time round, fashioned in white gold. The openworked hour and minute hands hover over large rounded indexes and the Bond family coat-of-of arms at 12 oclock. These elements are coated with luminescent material gifting the watch with perfect readability under any light conditions.

The timepiece, ever-so elegant just like our favorite adventurer, is always on cue to brave any danger with its ability to dive to depths of 300 meters. Its ceramic unidirectional bezel decorated with a relief-style platinum scale secures any underwater excursion. Inside this case, tailored like a tuxedo, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8807 caliber reigns supreme. This self-winding movement delivering a power reserve of some 55 hours resists magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.

This limited edition is worn on a leather strap clasped by a buckle crafted in the same material as the case. It comes presented in an exclusive Globe-Trotter suitcase accompanied by a second rubber strap.
