    Was at my desk when I saw the way the watch looks when the sunlight hits it right.... Beautiful!

    I love how the dial on my SMPc changes its color in different lightings. It goes from bright blue, deep navy blue to black and even purple depending on the light :)

    I wear my SMPc EVERY DAY. Totally agree with @Slazenger7 ! The way it captures and reacts to light is gorgeous!

    Still waiting to hear someone say they’re excited for the “new” Bond/Omega partnership 25th anniversary watch. https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-seamaster-diver-300m-omega-co-axial-master-chronometer-42-mm-21093422001001

    $51,900.00 is a lot for a watch...........
    01001-l.png

    The price is madness and I'm really not a fan of any of these cheesy Bond limited editions with the 007 seconds hand or gunbarrel on the dial etc. I much prefer the actual Omega models Bond wears on screen.

    +1.

    100%

    I brought my Omega Aqua Terra 41.5 on the basis that I loved the watch. The fact that Bond and Craig personally wear it was an additional benefit.

    Speaking of the Aqua Terra, it's being hailed as the unsung hero of the Craig Bond era.. And rightly so. Many weren't even aware Bond even wore it due to the lack of publicity from Omega themselves..... Check out the latest video below with regards to Bond and the Aqua Terra.

    [VIDEO]

    Yes, I watched this review. Seems I was ahead of the pack. I tend to notice these things, for example whether a girl is blonde or brunette.

    I've seen him walking out of Omega stores with brand new bags. He buys them, I think. Maybe he has some sort of ambassador's discount?

    This second pic is just funny, IMO.

    You would think he gets them for free ?
    He probably has every one released since he started being bond ?
    I remember he gave one away on Jonathan Ross's show for charity.

    And another one to a kid on Ellen's show. Or to Ellen herself. I can't remember.

    Edit: He gave it to her.



    Bloody hell, and another one to the kid ;)

    It's all good old publicity for the brand. Hey what if they gave on to all forum members at Mi6? I'd say that'd be a good Opera-like stunt ;)

    Love them. The Last Waltz is incredible, and so is Scorsese film.

    Oh, you mean the band on the watch? I'd rather have the Nato one Daniel is sporting in the B&W pic :)

    And it fairs well in the Milanese.

    Nice pic, @matt_u. I remember this watch took a bit of warming up for many, because of the brown, but I loved it on first glance. Still not a fan of that tapered HEV though, however it's a minor niggle.

    Thanks. I have to say the bracelet is very high quality and is a lovely match for the titanium construction. It feels amazing. I also like the dial and bezel, made from an Omega-specific form of lightweight anodized aluminum, that easily sets itself apart from the standard colorway and polished finishing of its Seamaster siblings. I wonder how those aluminum elements will fade over time.
