SEAMASTER DIVER 300M CHRONOGRAPH OMEGA 007 FIRST LIGHT
O
Omega’s long-running partnership with James Bond enters a new chapter with the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light. Rather than drawing from one of the films, the new watch is based on the 007 First Light video game, bringing the in-game timepiece into Omega’s James Bond watch collection. Created with IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios, 007 First Light reimagines Bond as a young Royal Navy air crewman beginning his journey into MI6. Within the game, the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph serves as one of Bond’s essential tools, equipped with fictional gadgets, including a hacking device and a laser-equipped strap. Those capabilities remain virtual, but Omega has recreated the watch’s distinctive design, marking the first chronograph to join Bond’s Seamaster Diver 300M collection. The 44 mm steel case pairs a black ceramic bezel with matching black ceramic chronograph pushers, an unusual feature within the Seamaster Diver 300M range. The polished black ceramic dial retains the collection’s laser- engraved wave pattern, while the chronograph register at 3 o’clock is finished with a PVD bronze gold ring that echoes the chronograph hand. Hands and indexes filled with white Super-LumiNova ensure legibility, while the red “Seamaster” script adds a dash of color. Through the sapphire caseback, the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 9900 appears beneath a black-metallized 007 First Light logo. Omega pairs the watch with an exclusive black, gray, and beige NATO strap inspired by the visual language of 007 First Light . While the colors recall the strap worn in No Time to Die , the pattern is unique to the game and features a special Seamaster buckle along with “007” and “First Light” engravings on the keepers. Six additional game-inspired NATO straps are also available separately. A presentation box modeled after the case used to transport the watch in the game completes the package.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 First Light Ref. 210.32.44.51.01.002, 44 mm steel case, black ceramic bezel, black ceramic laser-engraved wave dial, automatic movement, black, gray and beige NATO strap.
