Comprehensive List Of All The Omega Watches Worn By James Bond In His Films

“Bond, James Bond”.

Hardly anyone hasn’t heard this character line from the famous secret service agent in the history of cinema. James Bond is a legendary character who has fascinated multiple generations worldwide with his suave roles, adventures and daring stunts. Ever since he first appeared on the Silver screen, Bond has always donned an impressive selection of luxury watches.

To which many claim it is Omega that Bond has remained loyal to for ages.

But has Bond always worn OMEGA?

Guess not. Until 1995, the 007 spy pledged his allegiance to no single watchmaker and was spotted wearing everything from a TAG Heuer to a Seiko, as well as the Rolex Submariner in the earliest movies. In fact, the first Bond movie to feature an Omega was ‘GoldenEye’, released in 1995, which saw Pierce Brosnan wearing a handsome Seamaster. And this is how the legendary association began.

Here, we’ll explore all the different Omega models that James Bond has worn on screen over the years, giving you a comprehensive insight into his long-term alliance with the brand.

Let’s go!

Complete List Of Omega Watches Worn By James Bond In Films

1. Goldeneye (1995): Omega Seamaster Professional 300M

The Omega that kickstarted Bond’s decades-long relationship with the brand was a Seamaster Diver Professional 300M Quartz Ref: 2541.80.00. Bond was portrayed for the first time by Irish actor Pierce Brosnan, and the watch was so important in the movie that it gave this specific model its nickname, the “Bond Watch”.

About the watch:

This watch had a helium valve, which doubled up as a laser cutter in the film. Aside from this fictional detail, there are other perks in this quartz reference. It requires no winding to maintain accuracy, boasts nearly 42 months of battery life with an end-of-life indicator, a robust 300m water resistance, and a practical date display at 3 o’clock. The Omega looks rugged yet relatively compact in a 41mm steel case, featuring the emblematic wave pattern on its blue dial with a matching aluminium insert on the bezel. The watch is worn on a 5-link steel bracelet and has a screw-down crown with protective guards.

2. Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) & Die Another Day (2002): Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Professional Chronometer

Just two years after the 1997 movie ‘Tomorrow Never Dies’, James Bond was seen wearing the emblematic Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Professional Ref: 2531.80.00, an automatic chronometer-rated version. In the third James Bond movie, ‘The World Is Not Enough’ (1999), Pierce Brosnan as James Bond was seen wearing the same model once again. The watch was also portrayed by Pierce Brosnan in his 2002 action-packed movie, ‘Die Another Day’.

About the watch:

In terms of appearance, the Seamaster 2531.80.00 resembles the earlier Quartz version, with a slight difference visible at 6 o’clock, where instead of three lines of text, four lines are displayed, including the mention “Chronometer”. Otherwise, the specifications are identical, featuring a signature blue wave dial, blue aluminium bezel, 300m of water resistance, a helium escape valve, screw-in crown, and a date display at 3 o’clock. But, this Seamaster Diver 300M ticks an automatic Calibre 1120 movement and is equipped with a 44-hour power reserve.

3. Casino Royale (2006): Omega Seamaster Diver Professional 300M Co-Axial Chronometer & Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Chronometer

In 2006, the producers cast Daniel Craig as the world’s most famous on-screen spy in Casino Royale. In the movie, Craig as Bond wore not one but two Omega models from the Seamaster line. Casino Royale is often described as a complete reboot of the Bond franchise, as the character was made closer to the description as given in Ian Fleming’s books. James Bond here becomes more human, edgier and shows more feelings and emotions. The overall style, including the watch, becomes more realistic and slightly dramatic.

About the watch:

The 41mm Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Co-Axial Chronometer Ref: 2220.80.00 is a dive watch with an automatic movement. It features a stainless steel case, 300m water resistance, a 48-hour power reserve, and a sapphire crystal. The bright blue dial features luminous hour markers and hands, as well as a date display at 3 o’clock. It is powered by the Co-Axial Calibre 2500.

The other Omega model – the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Ref: 2900.50.91 made an impact with its 45.5mm steel case and comes on a sporty black rubber strap. The addition of a rubber strap added to the feel of the movie. At 600m, this model is twice as water-resistant as the other, making it twice as durable compared to the standard Seamaster. It also runs on the Co-Axial Calibre 2500.

4. Quantum of Solace (2008): Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Chronometer

Bond opted for the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M for his 2008 movie, ‘Quantum of Solace’, which was largely a sequel to ‘Casino Royale’. Daniel Craig is someone who appreciates collecting watches himself, and for Quantum of Solace, Craig had a strong involvement in selecting the watch that Bond should wear.

About the watch:

This rugged and sport-inspired Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Chronometer ref. 2201.50.00 s crafted in a versatile 42mm size and worn on a stainless steel bracelet. It is smaller than the previous Planet Ocean from Casino Royale and features a matte black dial with a matching black aluminium bezel and an anti-reflective crystal. This one is also powered by the Co-Axial Calibre 2500. Apart from this, Omega also introduced the limited edition Seamaster Planet Ocean “Quantum of Solace” Ref. 222.30.46.20.01.001 for commercial release. Limited to 5,007 examples, this collectible model incorporates exclusive design elements that honour the movie. It had ‘Quantum of Solace’ inscription etched on to the underside of the crystal, and the case back came embossed with the iconic 007 logo. The dial also had a Walther PPK grip structure pattern, a nod to James Bond’s favoured weapon.

5. Skyfall (2012): Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M & Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M

Once again, for the 2012 movie Skyfall, we’ll see two different Seamaster watches portrayed by Daniel Craig. Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall was a movie destined to succeed, and that success extended to the watch choices made in the film as well. Bond opened the movie wearing the Planet Ocean 600M and one of the scenes really resonated with the watch aficionados, where Bond hijacks a military tank wearing this sporty piece. Later, he swaps this model during his meeting with M, played by Judy Dench.

About the watch:

The first watch – the steel Omega Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Chronometer Ref. 232.30.42.21.01.001 comes at 42mm and provides the same features as the other Planet Ocean models from the previous two films, with its black ceramic bezel and dial, and is worn on a stainless steel bracelet. This model is driven by the enhanced Co-Axial Calibre 8500, an upgrade from the Calibre 2500, equipped with automatic winding in both directions. The other Omega timepiece worn by Craig was the Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Co-Axial Chronometer Ref. 231.10.39.21.03.001, which differs from the rugged look of the Planet Ocean by being compact in a 38.5mm steel case. This model features a vertical teak-pattern blue dial that resembles the decks of luxury yachts. One can admire the Calibre 8500 inside through the open case back.

6. Spectre (2015): Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M & Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Chronometer “Spectre Edition”

It seems Bond caught up with the Aqua Terra obsession after his first encounter with the model in Skyfall. In his 2015 film ‘Spectre’, Bond marks again with two watches: one a classic and elegant model and the other created specifically for the movie. In the first half of the movie, James Bond is seen wearing the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Ref. 231.10.42.21.03.003 and the second watch to appear is the Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Chronometer “Spectre Edition” Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001, which is far more special.

Bond’s Omega Seamaster 300 ‘Spectre Edition’ provides more than standard time display. It features a bomb and a countdown. Once activated, the hands return to the 12 o’clock position and the hour markers turn red, indicating the remaining time before the explosion.

If you look closely, there’s another Omega that peeks into the scene in the film alongside Bond’s driving gloves. Fans believe it to be the Omega Chronograph Calibre 321 Ref. ST 101.010, the only vintage model in James Bond’s Omega catalogue.

About the watch:

The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Ref. 231.10.42.21.03.003, featuring a 41.5mm case, blue dial, and Calibre 8500, is part of the ‘Master’ generation, meaning it is capable of resisting strong magnetic fields. The watch is worn on a stainless steel bracelet.

Next, the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial Chronometer “Spectre Edition” Ref. 233.32.41.21.01.001 (later available as a limited edition of 7,007 pieces) is based on the classic Seamaster 300 model introduced a few years ago, but it has been updated with several unique elements. It has a black ceramic bezel with a 12-hour scale instead of the 60-minute scale seen in the diver’s version, and the black grained dial features recessed pointy markers (seen on the 1957 Seamaster 300), a specific ‘Ω’ logo at 12 o’clock and a lollipop seconds hand. Omega gives the luminous markers a vintage-looking appearance.

Additionally, the 41mm stainless steel case is paired with a black and grey 5-stripe NATO strap, popularly called the Bond NATO strap. Inside the case operates the brand’s in-house Master Co-Axial Chronometer Calibre 8400 – a movement that provides a 60-hour power reserve and is resistant to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. For the limited edition model made available to the public, the watch also includes a stainless steel bracelet in the presentation box.

7. No Time To Die (2021): Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Master Chronometer “007 Edition”

Lastly, in Daniel Craig’s final film, ‘No Time To Die’, Bond sports an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M “007 Edition”. He has returned to the classic Omega Seamaster Diver 300M watch, but in a slightly different and updated version, with a watch produced specifically for the movie, and also available as a special edition for the public. This Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial Master Chronometer “Edition 007” features a long list of special characteristics that make it unique, and the best part is that Daniel Craig helped design it.

About the watch:

Made of Grade 2 titanium, this 42mm watch is lightweight and comes with either a mesh titanium bracelet or a NATO strap. It has a tropical brown dial and a unidirectional aluminium bezel, giving it a nice retro look. On the dial, the hands and markers have vintage-coloured luminous material, and there’s the British Military of Defence Broad Arrow symbol at 6 o’clock, as homage to Bond’s work in intelligence. It also has a domed sapphire crystal.

The case back is engraved with the 007 logo –a feature that rightfully excites Bond fans. Additionally, the watch is powered by the self-winding Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which is anti-magnetic and offers a 55-hour power reserve. Despite the model being a special 007 edition, it is not a part of any limited run, allowing fans to own the exact model their favourite on-screen spy wore in his blockbuster movies.

To End With..

Now you know Omega’s partnership with James Bond is storied. Each Omega watch worn by James Bond in his movies is iconic, a true symbol of style, sophistication, and cutting-edge technology. All the watches not only served as exceptional tools but also reflected the enduring appeal and evolving persona of the world’s most famous spy.

No Time To Die (2021) was the last appearance of Daniel Craig as James Bond. So, now we wait with bated breath to see who will be the next 007 and what will be the watch on his (or maybe her) wrist? Well, all we can anticipate is that the franchise’s 26th movie will undoubtedly be another banger.

Till then, whether you’re a die-hard collector or an enthusiastic fan, savour every on-screen Bond moment and let each Omega inspire your own luxury watch journey.
