OMEGA SEAMASTER DIVER 300M 007 JAMES BOND ON BRACELET:
In the year 1848, Louis Brandt founded a watch company called La Générale Watch Co. The company began making pocket watches using locally sourced material in Switzerland until 1894 when the founder's sons opened an in-house part manufacturing plant. Under this company, Omega began making its first sets of watches.
Based on Omega's watches' success, the mother company – La Générale Watch Co – finally allowed it to roll out as a brand on its own in the year 1903. Since then, the Swiss company has created millions of watches that meet different people's daily needs in several fields of life.
Omega, as a brand, has always been involved with sports societies and different games. They are involved in the regatta sports, diving, and even the Olympics. Based on their relationship with these brands and sports, Omega began creating watches with these games in mind.
Among such watches is the new Omega Seamaster Diver 300m. As its name implies, it was designed with the diving sport in mind. Based on its striking resemblance to James Bond's watch in the movie, No Time to Die, the watch is also known as the Bond Seamaster 007 edition.
EXTERIOR:
Since its inception, Omega has ensured that only quality materials are utilized in fabricating their watch’s parts and that the design is always superb. This tradition is upheld in the Seamaster Diver 300m 210.92.42.20.01.001.
The 42mm case is made from titanium. Titanium is the perfect material for sports watches because it is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and resistant to corrosion in saltwater, making it the ideal material for this diver's watch.
It has a unidirectional rotating bezel made from tropical aluminum and a strap made from fabric (NATO straps.) The strap is based on the original British ministry of defense design used in wartime. The nylon composition of this strap provides stability for the wearer, and it is also very durable.
The dial's glass covering is made from a domed sapphire crystal that is chemically treated to be scratch-resistant and anti-reflective.
In summary, superb materials were used in making this watch to ensure its durability while not taking away from its sleek 007 design.
SYSTEM:
The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 210.92.42.20.01.001 007 edition runs on Omega’s co-axial escapement caliber 8800. This caliber system employs the use of 35 jewels and vibrates at the rate of 25,200 per hour. It is an automatic, self-winding system.
The Caliber 8800 offers a staggering 55 hours power reserve, which is a plus feature of this watch.
DISPLAY:
For a watch that has been compared to the one used by James Bond in the movie, No Time to Die, one would naturally expect nothing less than a superb display. The Seamaster Diver 300m 210.92.42.20.01.001 lives up to the hype by excelling in the display department.
Set on a beautiful matte tropical brown dial are luminous hour makers. The luminous property allows for the checking of the time in the dark and also underwater. The display also features skeletonized hour and minute hands with aged luminous fill for easy view underwater and in the dark. Finally, the bezel features a luminous chronograph diving scale.
FUNCTIONS:
One thing that stands out about James Bond’s watches is the numerous features that come with it. The Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 210.92.42.20.01.001 mirrors this quality, combining its superior design with many functions to help it perform its duties.
As a watch designed for divers, one of the major functions intended for the watch is water resistance. To ensure that this is met, a helium escape valve is located at the 10 o’clock mark on the case. This valve ensures that a balance is maintained between external and internal gas pressure when diving in a saturated environment. This prevents damage to the watch's inner working mechanism that naturally would have occurred if diving were to take place without a helium escape. The Omega Seamaster Diver 210.92.42.20.01.001 stays water-resistant up to 300 meters.
Another notable function of this watch is the magnetic resistance feature that enables it to stand a magnetic force of 1.5 Tesla (15,000 Gauss). This guarantees the accuracy of the watch when used in or around magnetic fields.
Another function of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300m 210.92.42.20.01.001 is its chronograph function.
