Since 1962 and Sean Connery opposite James Bond as Doctor Noah, the 007 saga will count no less than 25 films on the big screen. After Rolex and other brands, since 1995, Omega watches have joined the wrist of Her Majesty’s most famous spy. He now wears the Seamaster Diver 300M, a stylish diver’s watch worthy of an officer in the British Navy. In celebration of this 60th anniversary, Omega introduced two new Seamaster Diver 300Ms, one given to Daniel Craig. “Bond and Omega’s love story began 27 years ago. And what’s funny is that I was already there, at Omega. recalls Reinald Eschlimann, Omega’s current president. The passion to create the next James Bond watch is the pinnacle of our teams’ careers. But doing it with Daniel Craig’s advice to go one way or another was more motivating. I wanted to thank Daniel for that because he made the watchmakers even more proud of their work and the product and the watch. Even today, it is one of the most sought-after watches in Omega’s collections.”

“I’m very proud to wear it”, said Daniel Craig as he placed it on his wrist at 007’s farewell party in London. After all these years, what will be his fondest memory as James Bond? “I think I will spend the next 20 years of my life sorting through all the memories from that time.– he assured. I’m thinking of the opening scene of Spectre, with Sam Mendes leading a party of the dead that wasn’t set in Mexico City, but is now. We had 600 actors ready every morning and it was phenomenal.”
