Connery was wearing a Submariner 6538 (the slim one, with a straight case but with an oversized crown). On his wrist was strapped a proper tool watch with a real military feeling – something totally appropriate considering the guy’s job. What makes this Omega Seamaster 300 SPECTRE Limited Edition so special, compared to all the previous watches made by Omega for James Bond 007 movies? First, we have to remember the early instalments of the films, when Sean Connery was playing the main character. Why? Because this watch goes back to basics, back to the idea we have of a proper James Bond 007 watch. But admittedly, having the opportunity to seat in one of the most iconic DB5 was great, especially as it was used in Goldfinger, and it’s certainly the best place to shoot the new Omega Seamaster 300 SPECTRE Limited Edition. We’ve only been allowed to sit in the car, which doesn’t prevent us from enjoy a bit of the mystery from the movie. Hey, Wakey Wakey, switch-off the dream-mode. And then you find the small pusher in the gear shift… the iconic gadget for some, but the one you know to be the best weapon, actuating the ejection seat… Then, you look down at the dashboard and immediately you are reminded the main goal of your secret-agent life: chasing villains – and for that, you can rely on the finest technology Agent Q has to offer, with an extremely sophisticated navigation system and even an integrated phone, multiple tools (that some dare to call gadgets… ignorant!) including machine-guns, retractable bullet-proof screen and bumpers and these so-useful central-locking device on the wheels to eliminate potential assailants. Even before you start the straight-6 4 litres engine, you know that something magical is about to begin. So how does it feel to wear a James Bond watch in his very own car? The minute you slide into the sumptuous seats, smelling the aroma of the vintage leather, you grasp the soft warm wooden steering wheel, you have the beautiful view of the long sweeping bonnet when looking through the windscreen and then you realise you are in something special, very special. For the latest instalment of the 007 adventures, Omega has just launched one of the most inspired James Bond watches ever, which goes by the name Omega Seamaster 300 SPECTRE Limited Edition – and we had the opportunity to play a bit like James Bond, by strapping this watch on our wrist together with bond’s usual black suit and a way-less-than usual Aston-Martin DB5, the actual car from the Goldfinger movie. Since 1995, the franchise has partnered with Omega Watches and it gave us as a result many different editions (that we all explained here). Furthermore, we’re also big fans of all things related to James Bond, and we guess there are a lot of you here also interested in 007. You know us, we’re huge fans of watches here, at Monochrome (thankfully, because that’s our daily job). The James Bond story has always been strongly linked to watches – and not the worst watches to be fair. As the next instalment of Bond will be released tonight, we thought it was the perfect time to share with you our exclusive photos and feelings about the watch – and we hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did, w hen we felt like James Bond (sort of…). Well, not entirely, but at least we had a slight feeling of what it is to be James Bond, while wearing the brand new Omega Seamaster 300 SPECTRE Limited Edition and getting to shoot it in the actual Aston Marin DB5 used in Goldfinger. Who among us has never had the dream of being bond, James Bond? No! Really? What is there not to dream about with the fast cars, beautiful women, the stylish elegance and the action… everything in the 007 movies are what every man has ever wanted to do and be (I know I have).
