Omega is expanding its Bond-themed dive watches with a six-piece 'Seamaster Diver 300M' collection inspired by James Bond and Spectre motifs. The lineup offers fans a choice between stainless-steel core models and numbered two-watch sets, all powered by the same movement. It keeps the spy connection alive even without a new film tie-in.
The stainless-steel editions come in blue or black. The Bond watch uses a grade 5 titanium bezel, while the Spectre version pairs a black ceramic bezel ring with a blackened grained finish. The numbered sets are capped at 77 boxes each and include a stainless-steel model and a platinum-gold counterpart, plus extras like a NATO strap and a travel pouch. That mix turns the watches into collector's items as much as wristwear.
For collectors, this means Omega can extend the franchise link beyond a single premiere cycle. The brand is serving the Bond audience with pieces that read as both wearable memorabilia and high-end mechanical watches.
