Omega Seamaster 300M No Time To Die
James Bond (Daniel Craig) once again wears an Omega Seamaster watch in No Time To Die (2020). The watch is worn by James Bond as well as Nomi (Lashana Lynch) in several scenes.
The new timepiece that is worn in the film is a non-limited watch, available in Omega's collection from February 2020 and is available with a titanium Mesh Strap (worn by Bond, also known as a Milanese strap or the Shark Mesh strap) and with a striped NATO strap in dark brown, grey and beige with 007 engraved on the loop (worn by Nomi). The watches are delivered in an exclusive brown fabric pouch.
The exact model name and number is the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer 42mm 210.90.42.20.01.001 (Mesh Strap) and 210.92.42.20.01.001 (NATO Strap).
The recommended sale price (VAT excl.) is $10,000.00 for the model with titanium bracelet and $8,900 for the model with NATO strap.

James Bond wears the watch in London (Whitehall, MI6 Headquarters, Thames scenes) and in Jamaica when he drives a Land Rover Series III in Jamaica, meeting his old friend Felix Leiter. He also wears the watch with his Commando outfit (N.Peal blue sweater, N.Peal tactical pants, white henley shirt, Danner Boots) when he's on a mission with fellow agent Nomi.
Q adds a gadget function to Bond's watch during the film.
Nomi wears the watch in the London office scenes, she can at least be seen wearing the watch with Nato strap in one of the promotional stills from a scene in MI6, when she's standing next to Madeleine Swann. But when she wears her Commando Outfit, she swapped the watch for an Aqua Terra 38mm.
The new Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition has been built with military needs in mind and was even designed with input from Daniel Craig and the 007 producers. Omega remained in close contact with the actor throughout the design process, referring to his special James Bond knowledge to understand the sort of features the watch might require.
Craig’s influence and advice played a big role in the final result. He says, “When working with OMEGA, we decided that a lightweight watch would be key for a military man like 007. I also suggested some vintage touches and colour to give the watch a unique edge. The final piece looks incredible.”
The 42 mm timepiece has been crafted from Grade 2 Titanium, which is used for the case and titanium mesh bracelet with its innovative adjustable buckle. This material is strong and lightweight, making it perfect for an undercover agent.
To further decrease the weight, Omega has used “tropical” brown aluminium for the dial and bezel ring. These elements have been given a classic look, thanks to the vintage Super-LumiNova, which fills the diving scale, blackened hands and indexes.
On the caseback, you’ll find a series of numbers, which follow the format for genuine military-issue watches. “0552” is the code-number specified for Navy personnel, with “923 7697” being the number for a divers’ watch. The letter “A” is a code used to signify a watch with a screw-in crown, while “007” is James Bond’s iconic agent number. Finally, the number “62” is the year of the very first James Bond film.
The watch features a triangle icon or logo just above the 6 o'clock indicator, which is the 'broad arrow' symbol used by British Armed Forces and visible on some vintage watches, issued and owned by the British Ministry of Defense (especially the W.W.W. watches from the Second World War).
The new watch is completed by a NAIAD LOCK caseback, which keeps all of the engravings in correct alignment. Inside, it is driven by a particularly impressive movement – the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which has achieved the industry’s highest standards of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance.
