Limited Edition 007 Omega Seamaster
Dum diddle-ee dum dum dum… dum diddle-ee dum dum dum! Dum dum dum dum, dum dum dummmmm!
Omega just launched a limited edition 007 Seamaster for about $3,400. It has a 007 camera iris on the dial and a 007 co-branded case back, seconds hand, and band. Made in honor of the next Bond flick, This Franchise Is Forver, they’re only casing 10,007 of these, so act quick.
I love a good Seamaster, but I’m kind of non-plussed. I’m going to try to get non-watermarked pictures for you all, but you can check out the even images at some crappy photo hosting page that sucks.
Full specs after the jump.

I’m a big Seamaster fan, too, but this seems way too gimmicky to me. This is more something I’d expect to see on a Fossil than an Omega.
Now if it has a high-powered electronic magnet or a laser built in, then that’s another story.

The stated “camera iris” on the dial is actually the view looking down the barrel of a gun. Hence in every James Bond movie … you get the view of the baddie’s gun trying to kill Bond but got killed instead.

I just bought one yesterday. I was looking for a new Seamaster to buy and didn’t even notice this 007 edition till someone mentioned it to me. From a distance(4ft or more) it becomes very hard to distinguish this watch and a normal Seamaster Professional. I’m a big James Bond fan so I naturally had to buy the watch. The Camera iris/gun barrel is a very nice little touch.

Nice watch but I think Omega is watering down there reputation with all these variations of the Bond watch.
Also the spirals on the watch dial are supose to represent the ‘rifling’ (spirals) which in side a ‘handgun’ (high rate of twist) barrel. Anyway I think that was covered in a previous post…
