We've been waiting for this: OMEGA NO TIME TO DIE
No time to die, no time to waste, and no time for empty talk. Let's get straight to the action. Let's dive into the amazing world of James Bond and explore what the new film has to offer.
No Time to Die. The title of the new film featuring the intrepid James Bond has been waiting for its grand premiere for almost a year. Many detractors have already renamed it No time to see. But we are not detractors and we understand the seriousness of the circumstances that prevented our favorite agent from bursting into our cinemas, which makes us look forward to the premiere even more.
The title of the film makes it clear that Agent 007 is back in full force and more determined than ever before. No time to die, no time to waste, and no time for empty talk. Let's get straight to the action. Let's dive into the amazing world of James Bond and explore what this new film has to offer.
During the long wait for the twenty-fifth film from the world of the British secret service, we have already heard a thing or two about the agent and his new adventure. Rumor has it that he will retire (don't worry, just for a moment), that another evil villain will threaten the world, and that Bond will not let it go. He will sacrifice his rest and embark on a complex investigation full of pitfalls and dangers. Of course, he won't be entirely alone. Technical gadgets, weapons, fast cars, and brand new watches!
In the new film, Agent 007, played by the charismatic Daniel Craig, once again relies on the Omega brand and a model from the Seamaster Diver 300M series. At first glance, it might seem like a return to the Brosnan era and his legendary blue divers, but that's not quite the case. Although the new watches belong to the same series, they are completely different.
Modern, bold, extravagant
The only words that came to mind when I first saw them were: modern, bold, extravagant. Those are three words, I know. But the longer I looked at the watch, the more words came to mind. So let's try to make sense of it all. The very first thing Omega focused on was the weight of the watch. The case and mesh bracelet are made of grade 2 titanium. In an effort to reduce the weight of the watch to a minimum, the watchmakers went even further and made the dial and bezel from specially lightweight aluminum. Low weight was one of the comments made by Daniel Craig himself, who was involved in the development of the timepiece.
The mesh bracelet is an excellent choice that takes the watch to a whole new level. For me, it's a bull's eye. It fits perfectly on the wrist, and the folding clasp with an innovative bracelet size adjustment system is also worth mentioning. A version with a NATO bracelet in a gray-black color combination is also available.
The dial is black, as is the rotating bezel. The indices, hands, and numbers on the bezel are in an interesting color that Omega calls vintage Super-LumiNova. However, this phrase meant nothing to me, so I started researching and found that the color was called beige. It's more accurate than vintage shade of Super-LumiNova, but it still wasn't quite right. Honestly, the color of the indices reminded me most of the color of sand, so I decided to call it sand brown.
Whatever you decide, it must be acknowledged that this is another detail that makes the new Bond watches exceptional. Combined with dark titanium, it gives the watches a masculine and modern military look. The tip of the second hand and the SEAMASTER inscription are in contrasting red.
Also worth mentioning is the logo at the 6 o'clock position. The arrow-shaped symbol indicates property issued by the British government. The back of the watch is opaque. Instead of a view of the in-house caliber 8806, the watch offers us numbers. Lots of numbers. But surprisingly, none of them refer to the limited number of pieces produced. The new Bond watches are produced as a series collection, so the chance that they will adorn your wrist is much higher than with previous Bond models. But back to the numbers.
The ability, strength, and determination to move with the times
0552 is the code for maritime personnel, and 923 7697 is the designation for diving watches. The letter A is the symbol for a screw-down crown. The code 007 is clear to everyone, and the last digit, 62, refers to the year in which the first James Bond film was released. Just like on the dial, there is an arrow-shaped symbol on the back. All in all, the new James Bond watch looks very good. It exudes masculinity, strength, and the desire to keep up with the times. The high quality that is an integral part of the Omega brand goes without saying. We now know that No Time to Die is Daniel Craig's last film. I think the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition watch will be a worthy partner for his farewell to the exciting world of James Bond.
