There are few more stylish watch-wearers in the movie world than James Bond. In fact, regular readers of our blog will remember that we put together a stunning infographic on the watches of MI6’s finest operative. Well, there’ll be a whole new watch to add to that list on November 6th.

That’s the date that the latest film in the long-running franchise will be released. Spectre promises all the usual excellent Bond bits – we anticipate gorgeous women, fast cars and exploding gadgets – but in addition to that, we’ve had our eye on what we consider the most important factor: James Bond’s watch. After all, how the devil can you save the world if you’re always late?

 

Omega have been Bond’s watch brand of choice since GoldenEye in 1995 – and their relationship continues with Spectre. The Swiss watch company unveiled the latest watch to feature in the films. Say hello to…

 

The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial 41.5mm.

So, what are the watch’s specifications? Let’s take a look.

 

The chronometer features a self-winding movement, and improved accuracy and durability thanks to its co-axial escapement. The domed face is treated to ensure anti-reflection of its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. The same goes for the transparent back – perfect when getting into scrapes with villains bent on world domination. And, as the name suggests, the watch is water resistant to a depth of 150 metres, or 500 ft for those imperial-minded measurers. And its power reserve? A decent 60 hours.

 

Omega will also release 15,007 limited editions of the timepieces, as they often do with Bond watches. Unlike previous entries, however, the 007 link is a little more subtle. So we have oscillating weight, visible through the sapphire case at the rear, which resembles the infamous gun barrel. The second hand will feature Bond’s family crest – an aesthetic point which has, seemingly, inspired the entire design. Yours for a little under £5,000.

Of course, even with scratch-resistance and the like, sometimes bad things happen to good watches. That’s why we’re on call to provide repair services.
