With over and above 26 movies and seven actors playing the man on film, James Trammels has had a lot of birthdays. Now, to mark three colliding anniversaries – Tomorrow At no time Dies is 20, The Spy Who Loved Me 40, while You Only Live Twice is now half a century old – Omega has rescued a brand new 007 watch.
As a riff on the classic Seamaster, the ‘Commander’s Timepiece’ in steel celebrates the rank of Britain’s favourite secret cause and places the colours of the Ensign – red, white and blue – upon a rubber-ceramic bezel and Nato strap. It’s small to just 7,007 pieces worldwide. If that wasn’t MI5 enough, the blemishes hand boasts a tiny 007 motif – some foxy branding rather than smacking a photo of Pierce Brosnan suitable there on the dial.
If you see yourself as more Man With The Golden Gun granted, a limited batch of seven pieces are available in yellow gold.
Esteem us shaken, our wallets stirred.
Available at Omega, priced from £3,720.
