GoldenEye (1995) did more than introduce Pierce Brosnan as the new James Bond – the film also marked the beginning of the film franchise’s partnership with Omega. Before this, the fictional British Secret Service agent has worn watches as diverse as Rolexes and Seikos. With this brand loyalty, however, Bond has had the opportunity to wear several Seamasters over the next seven films. Here’s a quick look at them.

Bond’s first experience with Omega watches came in the form of a Seamaster Professional 300M (Ref 2541.80.00), which had a quartz Calibre 1538 in it. 

For his second film as the spy, Pierce Brosnan upgraded to Ref 2531.80.00 instead. This Seamaster Professional 300M featured a mechanical chronometer movement in the form of Calibre 1120. James Bond would continue wearing this watch in 1999’s The World Is Not Enough…

…and for the third consecutive time in 2002’s Die Another Day. Despite the consistency of having a single watch across three movies, Bond’s hidden gadgets in his watch differed in each film. In The World Is Not Enough, his Omega Seamaster had an inbuilt remote detonator, whereas Die Another Day’s Seamaster came with a grappling hook. 

Casino Royale saw a change from Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig as Agent 007, and the upgrade of his watches to Co-Axial movement equipped ones, in this film Calibre 2500. 

Casino Royale also saw Omega’s release of the James Bond Limited Series, which features the spiral motif on its dial a la the rifling of a gun’s barrel. 

Quantum of Solace marked a change from the Seamaster Professional 300M to the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M, although the movement inside remained identical with Calibre 2500.

To tie in with the film’s release, a limited edition Quantum of Solace series of watches was released by Omega. The watch had a limited production run of 5,007 pieces, and had a black dial with a textured surface inspired by Bond’s trademark Walther PPK pistol’s grip.

Along with the Quantum of Solace Limited Edition, Omega also released the James Bond 007 Collector’s Piece, which had a limited run of 10,007 pieces. 

Skyfall was the most prolific Bond film in terms of Omega tie-ups yet. Bond himself wore the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M, with the new Calibre 8500 which was designed and assembled in-house by Omega.

Bond aside, the character Severine played by Bérénice Marlohe also wore an Omega, in this case a De Ville Prestige.

Bond’s associate Eve, played by Naomie Harris, wore a Seamaster Aqua Terra instead.

To mark 50 years of Bond in film, Omega released the limited edition James Bond 007 50th Anniversary Collector’s Piece, which came in either 41mm (11,007 pieces) or 36.25mm (3,007 pieces).
