Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition (Ref. 210.92.42.20.01.001): a Bond watch for the 21st century
Even today, April 9, 2025, in vibrant Prague, the fascination with the world of Agent 007 continues unabated. James Bond is a symbol of style, action and state-of-the-art technology. Since 1995 and the film Golden Eye is an integral part of his equipment and the Omega watch brand, specifically the Seamaster model. The special edition Seamaster Diver 300M, reference 210.92.42.20.01.001, created for the film No time to die (No Time To Die), is a unique combination of a film legend, the demands of Daniel Craig himself and top Swiss watchmaking.
Omega and James Bond: Bond of Steel (and Titanium)
The partnership between Omega and the producers of the James Bond films is one of the most successful in the world of marketing. The Seamaster watch on Bond's wrist has become an iconic element, symbolising the agent's resilience, elegance and ability to handle situations under pressure - whether underwater or on land. While previous models were often based on standard production with subtle 007 details, the edition for No time to die she went one step further.
Watch for "No Time to Die": model detail 210.92.42.20.01.001
This reference features the watch worn by Daniel Craig in his final film as James Bond, and its design and materials were developed in collaboration with him, with an emphasis on military functionality and lightness.
- Material: The 42 mm case and the distinctive mesh bracelet (mesh bracelet, or "Milanese pull") are made of Titanium Grade 2. This material is lightweight, extremely corrosion resistant and has a characteristic matt grey appearance.
- Dial and Lunette: The dial and the insert of the unidirectional lunette are made of aluminium in brown "tropical" shadewhich evokes the look of an old watch whose black face has acquired a patina with time and the sun. The indices and hands are filled with Super-LumiNova luminescent material in a vintage (yellowish) shade of "fauxtina". A distinctive feature is the absence of a date window, which underlines the purposeful "tool watch" character.
- The Broad Arrow symbol: On the dial and the dagger there is a symbol Broad Arrow, the traditional name for the property of the British government or army. This gives the watch the authenticity of a military instrument.
- Glass: Significantly domed sapphire crystal contributes to the vintage look while providing excellent scratch resistance.
- Ding: The full titanium die is equipped with a system NAIAD LOCKwhich ensures that all engravings are always aligned correctly. The engravings contain a series of numbers inspired by real military watches: "0552" (code for navy), "923 7697" (code for diving watch), "A" (code for screw-down crown watch), "007" and "62" (year of the first James Bond film - Dr. No.).
- Helium valve: The characteristic conical shape of the helium escape valve at the 10 o'clock position remains.
Top technology: the Kalibr 8806
The watch is powered by a manufacture movement Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806.
- Master Chronometer: This certificate, awarded by the Swiss Federal Institute for Metrology (METAS), guarantees the highest standards of accuracy, performance and above all resistance to magnetism up to 15 000 gauss.
- Co-Axial Escapement: The innovative Co-Axial step reduces friction, increasing mechanical efficiency and long-term machine accuracy.
- Other features: Automatic winding, running reserve of approx. 55 hours, free-sprung flywheel with silicon thread (Si14) for better stability and durability. The machine has a luxurious rhodium plated finish with Geneva stripes.
Signature Agent 007 design and military style
Thanks to the direct involvement of Daniel Craig, the watch has a very specific character. It is light, robust and its design evokes military diving watches of the past, but using the latest materials and technology. The combination of titanium, a "tropical" dial, vintage luminescence and military codes creates a unique and authentic look.
