Omega’s new James Bond watch, a tie-in to the forthcoming No Time to Die, has been officially announced. This represents the end of an era, of sorts, for Omega, as it’s Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond. The brand has released a special edition watch for every Bond film going back to 1995’s Goldeneye (the first Bond film to star Pierce Brosnan as the superspy) and over the years these timepieces have developed into something of a mainstream sensation, as far as watches go, anyway. Even folks who are not collectors or watch inclined will easily identify Daniel Craig’s Bond as an Omega guy, so prevalent are the advertisements, and conspicuous the product placement. The films themselves seem to be more hotly anticipated than ever as Craig’s star power has grown, and directors with real cache have flocked to the series (Skyfall and Spectre were helmed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes, and the new film is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, perhaps best known for directing all eight episodes of the first season of True Detective). All of that is to say: Bond is huge, Omega is huge, and people have been hotly anticipating this watch all year. So without further delay, let’s get into it.
