| - Omega has been associated with James Bond movies since 1995. That year, Pierce Brosnan took over the role of James Bond and wore the Omega Seamaster Quartz Professional (model 2541.80.00) in the movie GoldenEye. In all later films, Brosnan wore an Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer (model 2531.80.00). The producers wanted to update the image of the fictional "super-spy" to a more distinctly sophisticated "Euro" look. The main reason for the switch to the Omega Diver 300 for the Bond franchise is because of Lindy Hemming, a British woman in charge of costume/wardrobe for the new movies. At the time she thought the Seamaster looked the part of a rogue special operative who also need the ability to dress up. She recognized the history of Omega Seamasters in the Royal Military (importantly SBS like Bond and SAS) which furthered her decision. Hence the choice of the Seamaster Diver by Prince William. For the 40th anniversary of James Bond (2002), a commemorative edition of the watch was made available, model 2537.80.00 (10,007 units). The watch is identical to the model 2531.80.00 except the blue watch dial had a 007 logo inscribed across it and also machined into the case-back. The band also had 007 inscribed on the clasp. Daniel Craig, the current James Bond of Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, also wears the Omega Seamaster: the Seamaster Planet Ocean and Seamaster Diver 300 M in Casino Royale, and even goes so far as to mention Omega by name in the film when questioned by Vesper Lynd. In connection with the launch of the film, Omega released a 007-special of the Professional 300M, featuring the 007-gun logo on the second hand and the rifle pattern on the watch face, this being a stylized representation of the gunbarrel sequence of Bond movies. Omega released a second James Bond limited edition watch in 2006. This was a Seamaster Planet Ocean model with a limited production of 5007 units. The model is similar to what Craig wears earlier on in the film; however, it has a small orange-colored 007 logo on the second hand, an engraved case-back signifying the Bond connection, and an engraved 007 on the clasp. In Quantum of Solace, Craig wears the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean with a black face and steel bracelet (42 mm version). Another limited edition was released featuring the checkered "PPK grip" face with the Quantum of Solace logo over it. The Seamaster Professional Diver 300 M and then later the 600 M Planet Ocean was worn by James Bond in five Bond movies. These Seamasters are made of stainless steel on a stainless steel bracelet, fitted with a blue dial, unidirectional rotating bezel with blue ring and a sapphire crystal.
- Die Omega Seamaster Reihe ist eine Serie hochwertiger Armbanduhren der Swatch Group. Bond trägt seit "GoldenEye" ein Omega Seamaster Professional 300 Modell in blau. In "GoldenEye" mit Quarzwerk, seit "Tomorrow never dies" ein Modell mit mechanischem Werk. Die Uhr ist 300 Meter wasserdicht und verfügt über ein aufschraubbares Heliumventil (eigentlich für den Einsatz in Taucherglocken und Dekompressionskammern gedacht) welches von Q gerne als Gadget genutzt wird. So kann die Uhr Bomben fernzünden und ein hochbelastbares Seil abschießen. Es gibt 2 Sondermodelle mit Bezug auf Bond von Omega. Das erste Modell wurde parallel zu "Die another Day" herausgegeben und hatte kleine "007" ins Zifferblatt graviert, während das "Casino Royale" Sondermodell einen Gunbarrel auf dem Zifferblatt hat.
