Swiss watchmaker Omega will launch in November a collection of six Seamaster Diver 300M timepieces inspired by James Bond and the criminal organisation Spectre, characters from the British secret agent film franchise. The collection comprises two individually sold versions and two limited edition sets, each numbered with 77 units.

Omega has maintained a partnership with the James Bond franchise since 1995, when Pierce Brosnan appeared wearing a Seamaster in GoldenEye. Over more than three decades, the collaboration has produced numerous dedicated editions, but this marks the first time the Swiss brand has brought Bond and Spectre together within a single collection.

The new line will be available at Omega boutiques and on the brand’s website. All six watches share a 42-millimetre case and are fitted with the Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8806. Differences between models lie in materials, dials, bezels, and finishes. Omega presents the two characters as representations of distinct sides of the same story: James Bond is associated with duty, discipline, and loyalty, while Spectre embodies independence, self-interest, and freedom from the same constraints.

“Omega has been James Bond’s watch for more than thirty years, and this is the first time we have brought James Bond and Spectre together in a collection. They are both part of the same story, and our customers have always known both sides of it. Now they can wear both,” said Raynald Aeschlimann, President and Chief Executive of Omega.

Steel, Titanium, and Ceramic

Two stainless steel versions will be sold individually. The James Bond model (ref. 210.30.42.20.03.004) combines a grade-5 titanium bezel with a blue aluminium dial featuring a laser-engraved wave pattern.

On the James Bond version, the blue aluminium dial carries a laser-engraved wave pattern and a grade-5 titanium bezel.

The Spectre model (ref. 210.30.42.20.01.023), meanwhile, features a black ceramic bezel and a black dial with a granular finish.

The Spectre model pairs a black ceramic bezel ring with a black dial in a granular finish.

Both watches come on a brushed mesh bracelet and display, on the rotor, the emblem corresponding to each character. On the James Bond model, the decoration is inspired by a gun barrel, while the Spectre version bears the criminal organisation’s logo.

Numbered Sets

The James Bond kit includes two watches, an extra NATO strap, cufflinks, and a blue travel pouch.

The collection also includes two limited edition sets — one dedicated to James Bond and one to Spectre — each comprising 77 numbered units. The sets pair a steel watch on a mesh bracelet with a Sedna gold-finished model on a leather strap. Both models are sold exclusively as a pair.

On the steel version, each unit’s number is engraved on a plate positioned at the nine o’clock mark. All four watches in the sets feature a polished and brushed case back with Omega’s characteristic wave-edged design, protected by the Naiad Lock system. On the Sedna gold-finished models, the bezel is in polished ceramic and the diving scale is rendered in platinum. The dial, crafted from 18-carat white gold with a PVD degradé finish, presents different visual elements across the two characters.

The James Bond model (ref. 210.83.42.20.03.001) combines blue tones with a gun barrel-inspired pattern, while the Spectre version (ref. 210.83.42.20.01.001) features a dark grey dial bearing the image of an octopus. On both watches, the rotor emblem is produced in 18-carat Moonshine gold.

The limited Spectre set, comprising 77 units, brings together steel and Sedna gold watches, cufflinks, a magnifying loupe, and a black travel pouch.

Each set is presented in a box that includes an additional NATO strap, a strap-changing tool, cufflinks, a cord bracelet, a travel pouch in leather, a card holder, and a certificate of authenticity.

In the James Bond set, the strap pins bear the engraved number 007 and the travel pouch is blue. The Spectre set includes pins bearing the organisation’s emblem, cufflinks, and a cord bracelet with visual references to the group, along with a black travel pouch.
