In SKYFALL, to be
released in autumn of 2012, James Bond will take to the screen for the
23rd time with Daniel Craig again assuming the role of the world’s
favourite secret agent. And once again, 007 will wear an OMEGA
Seamaster.
To
celebrate its seventh performance in a supporting role in a Bond film,
OMEGA is launching the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M”SKYFALL” Limited
Edition watch.
Like every Planet Ocean, the
new watch is ready for underwater adventure. Equipped with a
unidirectional rotating diving bezel and a helium escape valve, the
watch is water resistant 60 bar / 600 metres / 2000 feet.
The
watch has a 42 mm brushed and polished stainless steel case and a
matching patented screw-and-pin bracelet whose divers’ clasp is engraved
with “007”. The rotating diving bezel is distinguished by its matt
black ceramic ring with a chromium nitride diving scale.
The
applied indexes on the matt structured black dial are coated with white
Super-LumiNova emitting a blue light as are the polished, facetted
rhodium-plated hands. The exception is the minute hand which emits a
green light, as does the dot on the diving bezel. This feature makes it
easy for divers to keep track of their time at a glance. At the 7
o’clock position is a 007 logo and at 3 o’clock, there is a date window.
The
Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M SKYFALL Limited Edition is powered by
OMEGA's exclusive new Co-Axial calibre 8507. SKYFALL 007 is on its rotor
in black-varnished engraving. The movement is visible through sapphire
crystal in the brushed screw-in caseback.
Along
with OMEGA’s industry-changing Co-Axial technology, the watch is
equipped with an "Si14" silicon balance spring. The combination is so
stable and reliable that the Planet Ocean comes with a full four-year
warranty.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M
SKYFALL wristwatch is being produced in an edition limited to 5,007
pieces and is delivered in a special presentation box.

Sorry I just don't like the "cubed" dial. Omega has a penchant (some would say a compulsion) to issue variant-after-variant of its classic, basic models, all in the name of maximizing appeal (translation: "revenues"). I say leave well enough alone: the ba...
One of the reasons why I was unable to go beyond the speedy pro and the smp300. I used to like the Aqua Terra design. Simple enough to be a default go to watch but then they introduced that teck(?) dial design. Was the old original design too plain? I don...
I'd be embarrassed to be wearing a watch with 007 all over it. Don't get me wrong, big Bond fan, I just get sick of all the marketing bulls&^t, They put out so many of them that I don't think they'll be investments either.
...but I'd never buy a movie logo'd watch. Omega is so all over the board these days. Trying to be too many things to too many people. It's no wonder I stick with vintage.
