In the James Bond books by Ian Fleming, Bond wore a Rolex but for the past few movies, Bond's been an Omega man. Pierce Brosnan wore an Omega Seamaster Professional Diver in his James Bond movies (Brosnan was also an Omega spokesperson). Omega has released two James Bond watches before and the one shown above, the new Omega Seamaster James Bond Limited Edition is one of the first James Bond watches to be equipped with the co-axial escapement. The 41mm stainless steel watch uses the automatic Omega caliber 2500. The dial features the James Bond logo and the second hand has the 007 gun logo on one side. The watch is a "limited edition" of 10,007 pieces. I wonder if this means that Daniel Craig will be sporting an Omega in the new James Bond movie.

The dial is a bit much for my taste.

hmm... i agree christopher, too busy. I've also never been a fan of colored dials in general. I love my speedmaster, but I tend towards the understated models. next watch may be a broad arrow, still thinking about it. first omega watch purchase I thought long and hard about since I was never a big watch guy, even though I needed one constantly, went through one after another... best purchase I made in a long time, this one is sticking, wear it all the time.
