    Gold markers on Bezel? New model?

    Interesting. Its either gold or faux aged lume on the dial. Certainly gold markers on the bezel.

    I like the strap/watch combo.

    Who’s wrist is it? Is it Craig again?

    Perhaps Omega's homage to the old Goldfinger Submariner. Looks like a 007 Seamaster with aged lume and a domed acrylic crystal. An undersized NATO would be a nice finishing touch.

    Looks too small for SMP. Unless it's mid size?

    Does not look like a Nato to me, looks more like a two part strap.

    Hadn't thought of that...does look a bit small for the current 42mm unless the wrist is huge. Mybe its a new size. hands and dial are SMP, HEV...possibly lyre lugs... case looks SMP to me but its not clear...oh...no date?

    That what it looks like to me.

    The watch looks tiny, like sub-40mm! I don't suppose it is, though.

    Consensus on the Bond forums is that its a new smaller size and will most likely be a limited edition that will be launched just before the movie like Omega did for SPECTRE

    Is there even a date window on it?

    Perhaps it's a $10.00 phoney he picked up on his hols?

    Craig was wearing what looked like some sort of Speedmaster during the announcement interview, but the sound was so awful and the questions so terrible I didn't stick around long enough to get a better look!

    Looks like the recently updated SMPc on mesh but looks like a no date version.

    Drat! Thank you for the correction though - I really liked the look of the bracelet.

    Meah, IMHO. Typical Omega rehash of an old model. Like an ageing Hollywood starlette looking more hideous after each facelift.

    I first thought about the steel and sedna gold bezel version but the outer edge of the bezel, hev and crown all appear steel to me. At most it's the numbers on the bezel that are coloured.

    There does look like a triangle something at 6 o'clock but it could be text, co-axial chronometer, 300m/1000ft normally appears there I think.

    I know it’s not but the ‘thing’ above the 6 marker could almost be the Citizen Promaster logo

    New James Bond Watch on set

    I do hope it’s a pheon- that would be a cool detail. But only if the navy used/uses a pheon, I don’t recall.

    I have this watch and absolutely love it. Dress up dress down it just works.

    They used to at one time:





    It seems to have been replaced on the dial by the tritium (T) marker by the time the Milsub and others came along.

    Could it perhaps be a GMT model - with a short fat, Rolex Exp II style GMT hand?

    Or a Lemania 5012 style 24 hour / am/pm indicator?

    Yup - thats the general consensus on the Bond forums. Another SPECTRE type Ltd edition in a bloody big box

    The Bond watch thing is sooooo old now isn’t it? And the naffest brand association. Just don’t get it. I think I’d avoid anything worn in a Bond movie in case people thought I was playing ‘spy dress up’ every time I put it on!
    I think the 60’s Sub thing was done I quite an innocent way with the wrong width NATO strap etc, since then it’s been a bit silly. But clearly some love ‘em?!

    I had to google "pheon" and really like the idea with the British military property association.

    Its hard to imagine that the movie company would have gone to such lengths and detail though - unless the watch plays a bigger role in the story and has some of Q's 'special features'. I appreciate the commercial benefits of whatever Bond wears though.

    I wasn’t sure if it was only army or the entire MOD supply that had pheon markings.
    Guess it was MOD wide then.

    It’s been a sign of state property for hundreds of years.

    First proper Bond 25 teaser on 007.com

    Looks pretty stylish. Have faith Fukunaga is going to deliver something better then recent ones!

    If The Blond Scouser's almost total transformation into Sid James doesn't mean Bond 25 is called Carry on Bond, I shall want to know the reason why.

    #Not a Scouser. More Chester, closer to Wales . In a Scousers eyes a million miles away from Liverpool - so more of a Wizard.
    Agreed though he does resemble Sid James in what someone referred to as a 'Norman Wisdom' suit.

    A spy wearing a clearly identifiable item associating him with a national government sounds like a good idea.

    Yes it does , sporting an expensive timepiece really helps with the anonymous part.

    But would a spies foes initially associate Omega with the British Government?


    More to the point , what watch brand would a spy choose for no affiliation to any particular government? Casio , Sunnto or something even more non-descript?

    Off the top of my head I can’t think of any issued divers watches with the crows foot on the dial. - but I digress...

    Back on topic - If there is a broadarrow / crows foot on the dial it will be a bit naff in my opinion.
