Well, I finally received the call from the OB that my Seamaster James Bond 60th Anniversary had finally arrived!


This was unveiled on November 23rd  last year, the day before Thanksgiving. I requested one from the OB the day after Thanksgiving. So, we’re looking at 11 months!


During a visit to the OB back in June, they had told me not to get my hopes up when I inquired about my allocation status. They responded that I probably wouldn’t receive my piece until next summer. So, it was truly shocking when I received the call (email) the other day!


I’m quite surprised that these don’t seem to be arriving at a faster pace. My guess is that Omega may be having challenges with the animated caseback. But, that’s only a guess!


Box was a bitch to open!😩


Omega doesn’t mess around!


Even Ozzy was excited!😁










I already knew this would be an issue. The mesh bracelet leaves an annoying gap on the inboard side of my wrist due to the long clasp. I will probably mount this on the standard bracelet in the not to distant future!


Overall, I’m quite fortunate and pleased to have added this to my collection. I much prefer the aluminum dial to the ceramic dial, which I previously owned:

 
Thanks for looking! HAGWE!🥂


About the Omega Seamaster Ref. 007Edition

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.
