Replica Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition “No Time To Die”
Replica Omega has been wearing James Bond’s wrist since 1995 and has done so with 12 watches, all with very different looks. The latest 007 edition, orologi replica
offered in a non-limited edition, has distanced itself more than the others from the current Seamaster collection.
But without wasting any more time let’s go and discover together the peculiarities of Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition which appeared in the film “No Time To Die”.
Replica Omega Seamaster 007 review
Due to the pandemic this Omega 007 is like the movie, and many other events that were to take place in 2020,
postponed by a year. After filming in 2019, and with the watch unveiled in early December again two years ago,
the production postponed the release of No Time To Die to September 30, 2021 and consequently Omega the placing of the watch on the market.
Cash desk
The first point that makes this watch different from other Seamasters is the choice of materials. The Seamaster Diver 300M 007 features a 42mm case in unpolished, rather raw Grade 2 titanium.
Titanium timepieces are known to be light but very robust at the same time. Titanium, which is nothing new to the Seamaster line,
has contributed a lot here to soften the incisive shapes of a watch that make it look more like a military watch than those of a diver. The light alloy, increasingly used in watchmaking even for classic models, is also highly anticorrosive.
Waterproof up to 30 bar (300 meters) the Seamaster 007 Edition No Time To Die is completed by a NAIAD LOCK case back that keeps all engravings correctly aligned. The curved sapphire crystal features a double anti-reflective treatment. Nevertheless, the thickness of 13.15 mm remains below the average of diving watches with similar characteristics.
The caseback of the movement, which is not visible,
is engraved with a series of numbers typical of military watches. The digits “0552” refer to a numerical code of naval origins, while “923 7697” is the code for diving watches. The letter “A” code indicates watches with a screw crown, while “007” is obviously the iconic James Bond code. Finally,
the number “62” refers to the year of the very first agent film born in 1953 from the fantasy of the English writer Ian Fleming.
Clock face
If titanium were not enough, the dial and bezel are there to immediately make clear the warlike origins of the latest Replica Omega 007.
But here military means anything but crude.
The dial disc is made of aluminum. Powder coated, it has a uniformly porous surface with a color very similar to the so-called tropical dials in which the brown comes from the original black tint after years and years of exposure to the sun.
The graphics are very measured in both appearance and size. The color of the logo, the Replica Omega writing,
as well as Professional, Coaxial, Master Chronometer and the water resistance of 300 m / 1000 ft takes up the beige of the indexes, and apart from the Seamaster name in red, the “Broad Arrow” arrow is also beige here at 6 o’clock – an unmissable symbol in a genuine military watch of British origin.
The applied indexes, which in shape resemble those of the classic Seamaster 300 M,
are very thick, therefore generating an evident and pleasant three-dimensional effect.
As for the former,
the spheres made with a matte finish are filled with an ecru / beige luminescent substance for a vintage effect. The small parts and numbers that appear on the aluminum bezel are of the same color.
As in all the latest Seamasters, the elements with luminous inserts light up blue at night,
while the minute hand emits an intense green light to stand out from the rest.
Movement
And we have come to describe the engine of this Special Edition. The Omega caliber 8806 is currently Omega’s most advanced three-hand automatic movement,
and – albeit for once not visible – is decorated with careful finishes.
As usual, its heart is regulated by a Co-Axial escapement and a spiral spring of the free balance wheel with silicon escapement: two solutions that go in the direction of effective friction reduction,
as well as the second is also an incredible protection against magnetisms and impact strength both not obtainable from any other alloy, even proprietary.
There is only one barrel capable of delivering 55 hours of power reserve.
Master Chronometer
At the beginning of the year Omega declared that in 2021 with new movements also the Speedmaster line would reach the prestigious Master Chronometer certification and it did. However, it was out of the question and for more than two years that James Bond’s latest Seamaster had had it.
What is Master Chronometer? It is a double certification of accuracy. After the movement passes the tests to obtain the chronometer certificate issued by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres), it must undergo the 8 severe tests performed by METAS, the Swiss Institute of Metrology.
These tests are so transparent that the owner of each Seamaster Diver 300M 007 can with the Master Chronometer certificate number in hand see online how he has passed each test.
