Introducing Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” 50th Anniversary Replica Watch
On Her Majesty's Secret Service was first released in 1969. Fifty years later, to commemorate On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Omega celebrates the 50th anniversary of the movie with the release of the Omega Seamaster 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service' 50th Anniversary watch replica. This time, Omega has incorporated a lot of elements in the watch that are related to the film. The most important one that catches the eye is the dial that refers to the opening credit sequence of all Bond films. The black ceramic dial is laser-engraved, depicts the view down the barrel of a gun, and the diameter of its center is exactly 9mm.
The second thing that struck me was that gun barrel swirl on the dial, which gives the watch a very James Bond-branded appearance. If that's a good thing or a bad thing, lies in the eye of the beholder. The only thing I can say about it; it’s got impact, it’s new and it's quite well-made.
The third and most prominent of all Bond details is placed on the side of the watch; the 18k gold plate with an engraving of the famous 007 logo. This really stands out, and together with that gun-barrel-dial it is very much a make-or-break detail.
The Details
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 50th Anniversary watch replica 210.22.42.20.01.004 has a thing that stands out immediately is the Bond family coat of arms that serves as the 12 o’clock marker. In the film, Bond is slightly obsessed with his family history, so it's a beautiful detail that relates to the story of the film and probably is the most appealing to die-hard Bond fans. The coat of arms is produced in 18K yellow gold that is also used for the hands, indexes, and the Limited Edition plate on left the side of the stainless steel case placed just underneath the helium valve at the 10 o'clock position. The number '7' on the date disc has been produced in the legendary 007 font so you will see that only once a month, and there is a secret signature number 50 hidden on the 10 o'clock index that lights up at night with the Super-LumiNova, referring to 50 years of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
