Omega continues its legacy in the world of James Bond by unveiling a new watch that appears in the action-adventure game, 007 First Light.
Designed in collaboration with the game’s creators IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios, Omega’s new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light allows 007 fans to play and dress as the iconic spy.
The 007 First Light Video Game was officially launched last month worldwide.
Developed by IO Interactive in partnership with Amazon MGM Studios, the game features a compelling original standalone story of a 26-year-old James Bond, diving into the character’s reimagined origin story with a fresh take on the franchise.
An Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph appears at the heart of the missions, fitted with a hacking device capable of disrupting electronic equipment besides a powerful laser strap, making it an essential tool for players as they earn their 007 status.
Now, Omega has brought the timepiece to reality, welcoming the design into its core James Bond watch collection.
Creating the watch
The new creation marks the first-ever chronograph in James Bond’s Seamaster Diver 300M history.
This is to match the watch’s appearance in the game, where the subdials have a functional role during play.
Sized at 44mm and crafted in stainless steel, the watch includes a polished black ceramic bezel ring with a white enamel diving scale – and is especially notable for the pushers in polished black ceramic.
The black ceramic dial appears with the Diver’s essential laser-engraved waves and is distinguished by a subdial ring at 3 o’clock that is finished in PVD bronze gold.
The same PVD bronze gold material is used for the central chronograph seconds hand, while all other hands and indexes are rhodium-plated and filled with white Super-LumiNova.
The Seamaster name appears in red and there is a date window at 6 o’clock.
Around the wrist, this Diver 300M also introduces an exclusive new NATO Strap inspired by the visual universe and design elements of the game.
The striped design features a black, grey and beige colourway – the same as the Omega watch worn in the film No Time to Die.
However, it is given a different pattern and is complemented by a special Seamaster buckle as well as 007 and First Light engravings on the keeper.
Alternatively, wearers can choose from six other NATO Strap choices, available separately within Omega’s accessories collection.
These are each modelled after the different strap versions that are playable within the game.
The watch is driven by the self-winding Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900, with a small seconds display at 9 o’clock and a 60-minute and 12-hour recorder at 3 o’clock.
Offering Omega’s highest standard of precision, performance, and magnetic resistance, the movement can be seen through the sapphire crystal caseback, which also includes a 007 First Light logo crafted in black metallisation on the underside of the glass.
Each watch is delivered inside a special presentation box – inspired by the suitcase that carries the Omega watches within the game.
