Since Golden Eye’s 1995 release, James Bond, the legendary spy, has given his preferance to an Omega Seamaster watch. Fans of Secret Service agent 007, along with afficionados of fine timepieces, wait enthusiastically to the launch of each new version of the Omega James Bond watch.

The recently developed Omega James Bond 007 Collector’s Piece strikes with its irresistible visual appeal. The polished, lacquered black dial of the Omega watch spotlights black gold plated hour markers filled with white Super-LumiNova. The luminous hour and minute hands are plated with black gold. The watch features a centeraly-positioned seconds hand with a red tip and a red 007 logo designed as a counterweight and creating a distinctive contrast with the black dial. The Omega Company will produce only 10,007 pieces of this exclusive Seamaster model.

The Omega distinctive polished and brushed stainless steel case measures 41 mm in diameter and is equipped with a scratch-resistant, anti-reflective domed sapphire crystal. The watch is secured to the wrist with a specially-designed James-Bond-series bracelet that makes it recognisable at a glance.The Omega James Bond 007 Collector’s Piece impresses not only by its aesthetic features but also by the most advanced technology meant to correspond to the most rigid demands worth James Bond’s name. Just imagine the secret agent’s disappointment if his timepiece proved to be not really reliable - it could even cost him his life. The Omega James Bond watch houses the brand’s calibre 2500 self-winding movement that applies the ground-breaking Co-Axial Escapement, the mechanism responsible for reducing friction while providing improved long-term accuracy.The certified chronometer watch encompasses functions to reflect the needs of professional divers. As suggested by the name, the Omega watch boasts 300-meter water resistance. The construction of the case has incorporated the screw-in case back featuring a 007 medallion and stainless steel screw-in crown embellished with an Omega logo.The unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with a distinctive black aluminium ring.

The presentation case is crafted from black leather, with the black interior reminding the lining of the tuxedos, an essential feature of James Bond’s image along with the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m watch adorning the spy’s wrist. Omega in James Bond Movies
The Omega Seamaster Professional Diver is sported on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan (also an Omega ambassador) in all four of his James Bond movies. It was the stainless steel version with blue face and blue bezel, coupled with a stainless steel bracelet.

It is remarkable that other models of the Omega Seamaster have been used as movie tie-ins. For example, you will see an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronograph on the wrist of Alec Baldwin in The Edge released in 1997. The timepiece becomes involved in an exciting plot complication.

The latest James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for EON Productions, directed by Marc Forster and starring Daniel Craig, James Bond since 2005. The international premier of the 22nd movie in the Bond series will take place in November 2008.

In the late 1950s, having built a prestigious reputation in the field of producing watches for masters of the skies, Breitling concentrated its attention on the production of timepieces for those conquering the maritime depths.

Master watchmakers of the company developed the Superocean, a professional diver’s watch that over time became highly demanded among fans of leisure diving. Since the introduction of the first Breitling Superocean, the horology world witnessed the appearance of successive Superocean models that advanced in their technical level, providing remarkable water resistance - to depths of 500, 1500 and 2000 meters.The Breitling Superocean ‘Heritage’ line pays tribute to the initial model, having inherited its spirit and aesthetic characteristics. It has recently been joined by the new Chronographe version.

The same as the dial of the timepiece produced 50 years ago, the dial of the new model spotlights the Breitling signature with the stylized 18-K gold letter B above it.

The Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronographe also features another distinctive detail - the luminescent triangular-tipped hand shows the hours - the same hand provided unequivocal read-off even in complete darkness at great depths.

Besides the original design, the Breitling Superocean Heritage Chronographe is characterized by supreme performance. The timepiece features an imposing steel case, 46 mm in diameter.

The sturdy construction is equipped with a screw-locked crown, unidirectional ratcheted bezel, and cambered sapphire crystal. It boasts 200-meter water-resistance.

The model is equipped with Breitling Caliber 13, a high-precision self-winding movement, beating at 28800 vibrations per hour, officially chronometer-certified by the COSC, the same as all the movements produced by the brand. The movement provides the following functions: 1/4th of a second chronograph, 30-minute and 12-hour totalizers, and calendar.

Breitling has coupled the timepieces from the Heritage line with exclusive woven steel straps, including the Ocean Classic woven steel bracelet that greatly resembles the one that accompanied the initial model, having contributed to the original visual appeal of the watch.

The timepieces are also available on Ocean Racer rubber strap that enhances the model’s resolutely sporting appeal. The rubber strap offers the choice between three colors matching the color of the dial and bezel - blue, black, and bronze.

~~~~ First Pages of History
The first pages of the Omega history were written in 1848 when established a watch assembly workshop in La Chaux-de-Fonds. In 1877 Louis Brandt’s business was joined by his eldest son. Together they founded Louis Brandt and Fils.One of important moments in the early history of the company took place in 1894 when it introduced the Omega 19′ caliber. The mechanism was based on the innovative principle of interchangeable parts that was then gradually adopted by other watch manufacturers.The brand’s Omega name was officially registered in 1894. In 1903 it was added to the company’s name that became called Societe Anonyme Louis Brandt and Frere - Omega Watch C. Since 1982 the company was simply named Omega S.A.The story of the Omega Company’s development was marked by a lot of highlights. It introduced numerous innovative horological decisions and achievements that significantly influenced the entire world of matchmaking. Look through the brand’s historical outline:

1892: Omega developed the first minute-repeater wristwatch.

If you are a fan of sailing, and the famous America’s Cup in particular, what timepiece would you choose for the regatta’s participants? Omega Seamaster is probably the best answer one may think of!

The legendary Omega Seamaster watch line has been recently completed by a new chronograph model created specially for Emirates Team New Zealand, with Omega chosen as the team’s official watch. The timepiece bears the name of the boat that won the prestigious regatta in 1995.

Dean Barker, skipper of Team New Zealand and OMEGA Ambassador, took part in the development process of the timekeeping novelty.

The new OMEGA Seamaster NZL-32 Chronograph is an elegantly designed timepiece of utmost functionality. The watch was specially developed for the regatta and represents a high-precision instrument that is able to measure performance to one-eighth of a second.

The latest Omega Seamaster is characterized by appealing aesthetics and extreme readability. It is specially destined at America’s Cup fans and those overwhelmed by the adventurous and challenging spirit of the regatta.

The creators of the Seamaster NZL-32 Chronograph paid meticulous attention to the major needs of the skipper and his crew. They managed to make the watch most useful and comfortable to use while the crew members are involved into a regatta.

The timepiece is provided with ’start of the regatta’ function that clearly indicates the ten minutes prior to the starting signal with help of a special five-dot indicator. The peculiarity of the indicator is that the dots gradually fill with a different color as each successive five-minute period comes to the end, beginning with blue color followed by red. The new Seamaster is equipped with OMEGA calibre 3602 self-winding movement, the mechanism that guarantees chronometer-certified precision and offers a 40-hour power reserve.

The dial created in the combination of silver and black features applied, facetted hour markers, provided with luminous dots above each. The dial’s indexes are rhodium-plated, while its external black zone has white minute track. The Omega watch’s wearer will surely appreciate a clear overview of the total minutes that have elapsed. The minutes are displayed by the recessed black counter surrounded by silver at 3 o’clock. The designers opted for blue and red markings used to indicate the two five-minute periods leading up to the start.As for the smaller hour counter, it is positioned at 12 o’clock, while a discreet small seconds counter is found at 9 o’clock. To provide maximum readability so important for the regatta competitors, the skeleton hour and minute hands are Super-LumiNova-coated, and the chronograph counters’ hands are distinctively red. The stainless steel 42.20 mm case of the new Omega Seamaster NZL-32 Chronograph watch is finely polished and brushed. It has inherited the distinctive shape and horns of the brand’s iconic Seamaster line. You will also notice the push buttons on the left side of the case at 8 and 10 o’clock, the design peculiarity that adds to the chronograph’s balanced, harmonious appearance.The start/stop function is activated by pushing the button at 8 o’clock. The case of the watch is equipped with a screw-in back and crown to ensure 150-meter water-resistance. The case back of the Omega watch is stamped with a seahorse, the symbol of the Seamaster collection.To add a final touch to the bold and equally elegant watch, the new Omega Seamaster goes on either a brushed stainless steel bracelet or a black rubber strap, provided with white stitches and a fold-over clasp.
