The Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition was worn by Craig in No Time to Die, and that model’s bronze gold alloy is back, encasing the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 Few dive watches are as embedded in pop culture as the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M. First made famous in 1993, when it appeared on Pierce Brosnan ’s wrist during his turn as James Bond, the watch has seen updates over the decades – and as Daniel Craig succeeded Brosnan as 007. Throughout, it has stayed true to its identity: wave-patterned dial, skeletonised hands, distinct bezel and numerals, time-only design to preserve symmetry and a helium escape valve at 10 o’clock.

The full release of the stainless steel models now includes one with a black aluminium bezel and dial, alongside another with a grade 5 titanium bezel and brushed PVD stainless steel dial. Both are available on mesh bracelets or rubber straps.

Taking inspiration from the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition worn in Craig’s last turn as Bond – No Time to Die – the brand released two more versions using their unique bronze gold alloy, evoking the patina and tropical accents of that earlier version. {"@context":"https://schema.

5 per cent gold, and enriched with palladium and silver, the alloy imbues the watch with a soft pink hue. The alloy resists corrosion and verdigris oxidation – a kind of greening that is common with bronze, as seen on large sculptures like the Statue of Liberty. Instead, the bronze gold present in the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M references from this release patinates gracefully, beautifully and uniquely to the wearer.
Both bronze gold versions come with striking dial and bezel colours, and house the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806 within the 42mm case with its domed sapphire crystal and oxalic anodised aluminium bezel ring. For those looking for more bronze gold, look to the burgundy bezel with black dial. The matt black tone of the dial comes from sandblasted aluminium, and is accented with PVD 18k bronze gold hands and blackened indexes.

The addition of titanium – a material often used in aircraft and spacecraft – allows the watch to withstand extreme temperatures..
