Amanico's original post offers a detailed visual and critical assessment of the 2022 Aston Martin Vantage 007 Edition, inviting fellow enthusiasts to share their impressions. His candid review highlights specific design elements, from the manual gearbox and interior details to the controversial front and rear lights and prominent grille. This article synthesizes community feedback on the car's aesthetics and the broader implications of brand collaborations.
The Omega Seamaster 007 Edition, reference 210.92.42.20.01.001, distinguishes itself within the Seamaster Diver 300M collection through its specific aesthetic and material choices. This particular reference offers a distinct interpretation of the Seamaster Diver 300M, setting it apart from standard production models with its unique dial and bezel execution, and the use of lightweight titanium for both the case and bracelet. It represents a focused design within the broader Seamaster lineage.
This edition features a 42mm case crafted from grade 2 titanium, paired with a domed sapphire crystal that enhances its vintage-inspired appearance. The watch is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, an automatic movement certified to meet the industry's highest standards of precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance. It offers a power reserve of 55 hours and is water-resistant to 300 meters.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Seamaster Diver 300M with a specific material and color palette. Its cohesive design, from the tropical brown dial to the titanium mesh bracelet, creates a unified presentation. The absence of a date complication further contributes to its clean and symmetrical dial layout, a detail often appreciated by enthusiasts.
I've had lots of Astons in my time, from DB4 to V12 Vantage. There was always and overriding aspect of discrete elegance. I dont have any issues with the style or technical performance but why spend all that money on a car with go-faster stripes and more critically, the James Bond connection? Weak.
why do Aston keep on marketing this naff-ness? Are they trying to keep up with Omega?
They do an 007 line as does Omega and yet for the most part I am extremely skeptical of items badged with that logo (Omega was smart IMO to downplay this on the latest Craig watch which is awesome) regardless of how good the over all design is…and yet there always seems to be “collector demand” for these badged items. This is almost a topic for a separate thread…like the car well enough…do not like the packaged OO7 presentation and logo treatments….ps I feel the same way about watches branded wi
No tire-killing jacks, does the license plate flip... does the passenger seat eject? How much weight does bullet-proofing the car add? And, who will be owning the company ten years from now? I love AM, but they jumped the shark.
99%, except for the rear lights (or should I say light cover) which I think is cool (although not quite as cool as the older generation ones LoL). Great pictures, thanks Nico, Filip
...do we take the Escalade, the Range Rover, or the Aston Martin?" : )
