A classic reimagined

Caseback replicates the 007 opening sequence.

In GoldenEye, James Bond sports an Omega Seamaster 300M Quartz installed with a laser used to cut an escape hatch in the floor of Alex Trevelyan's train.

The high-tech watch has been reinterpreted as the stainless steel Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond, while the second commemorative model pays tribute to Jamaica and Ian Fleming's estate named after Operation Golden Eye during World War II.

A nod to the beautiful sands of his Jamaican home, the Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years Of James Bond Canopus Gold boasts a dial made from natural grey silicon, with the crystallites rendering a unique pattern.

A tribute to the Jamaican flag, a paving of green and yellow treated natural diamonds in 10 different tropical shades circles the bezel, with clear diamonds set at 12 o'clock. The bezel sparkles against the case in Canopus Gold, an exclusive white gold alloy with a brilliant shine.

Omega also looked back at the very first James Bond film, Dr No, starring Sean Connery as the charming protagonist and Ursula Andress as Honey Ryder. The soundtrack includes Underneath The Mango Tree from a scene that has Bond meeting Ryder, who emerges from the sea with rare shells on Crab Key.

This iconic scene is celebrated by the presentation of the Canopus Gold edition in a mango tree box adorned with mother-of-pearl marquetry.

The stainless steel 60 Years Of James Bond watch features a dial and bezel made from blue oxalic anodised aluminium. The dial is decorated with laser-engraved waves and the bezel features a diving scale filled with white Super-LumiNova. The traditional inverted triangle has been replaced with 60 to mark the anniversary.

The film-themed caseback replicates the famous 007 opening sequence with a silhouette of James Bond and a spinning gun barrel. As the lollipop seconds hand moves, this dynamic scene plays out beneath the sapphire crystal, decorated with a patent pending micro-structured metallisation, known as a moiré effect animation.

The mesh-style bracelet recalls the Omega watch in No Time To Die. Omega has also fashioned sailing bracelets and cuff links, inspired by models in the latest instalment and Quantum Of Solace to co-ordinate with the commemorative watches for an even more secret agent style.
