A new piece for my collection to make company to my beloved NTTD Bond Omega Seamaster 300m: Jack the bull dog NTTD edition by Royal Doulton.

RD has offered the figurine of this charming bull dog in the past through several editions.

It had come to symbolize the determination of British character and specially those editions issued during WWII honoured the bravery and determination of military personnel and the UK Prime Minister, Winston Churchill.

This figurine of Jack the bull dog made appearance in Skyfall and Spectre Bond films and returns in NTTD.

It survives a big explosion with a few cracks on its face and charring of the Union Jack which covers its back.

The figurine repaired with glue is bequeated to Bond by her chief “M” and now is a prized object of 007.

This new edition of Jack released by RD after the new Bond film comes from the factory showing the “repaired” face of the dog as shown in the film and I felt it makes a charming beautiful company to my watch and a cute mascot on my desk!

Best cordial regards,

Abel

The 'Jack the Bulldog' figurine has multiple editions, with the 'Skyfall' version being 'mint' and subsequent editions for 'Spectre' and 'No Time To Die' depicting the 'repaired' state after the explosion. The 'Skyfall' edition is now a discontinued collector's item commanding high prices.
Pairing a watch post with tasteful items like art, tools, homeware, or ornaments elevates the presentation beyond mere product display, reflecting a higher level of taste and a 'living to eat' philosophy, rather than the 'boring and mundane' repetition often seen on social media.
The titanium construction of the Omega Seamaster 300m NTTD provides a unique color and makes it exceptionally comfortable due to its light weight, appealing to those who appreciate military-inspired watches.
While titanium offers aesthetic and comfort benefits, its aging process and the visibility of scratches can be a concern for some collectors.
The author expresses disappointment with Rolex's recent marketing policies, which have made it nearly impossible to find sport watches at official prices in boutiques, contrasting it with Omega's accessibility and quality.
The 'Jack the Bulldog' figurine is a significant prop in the Bond films, appearing on M's desk in 'Skyfall' and 'Spectre', and being bequeathed to Bond in 'No Time To Die' after surviving an explosion.

... But pandemia changed the plans of everybody around the World. The titanium gives an special touch of color which makes it attractive as a military watch it is presumed to be. It also makes it very comfortable on the wrist due to its light weight compared to a full steel watch. Of course if you are not fan of Ti it might not be your choice. I can well understand you. Best!
