I suspect I'm missing some dial variants for this model: the previous-generation ceramic-bezel 41mm Seamaster diver in stainless steel. ...Am I? I've come up with 5, but there must have been others..?

1) The standard black dial variant: 212.30.41.20.01.003
2) The standard blue dial variant: 212.30.41.20.03.001
3) The James Bond 50th black dial variant: 212.30.41.20.01.005
4) The James Bond "Commander's Watch white dial variant: 212.32.41.20.04.001
5) The 2012 Rio Olympics black dial variant: 522.30.41.20.01.001

I love the Commander Bond SMP. So legible and unique for an SMP with the white dial.

I like the real-world pics I’ve seen in ads for that watch more than the official Omega render above. (Definitely recalled by the new Americas Cup no date release.)

It’s just a shame about the silly 007 seconds hand counterweight.

What soured the Commander release a little is that they included in the box a medal bar for the owner. False valour is actually a crime in some jurisdictions such as Australia so it strayed over the line a little from fun film tie in into something rather more silly and needy. A nice enough watch but most of the Bond themed stuff has been a bit naff IMO.

The ribbon did not copy any actual Royal Navy or British military medal. That's not "false valor." If they had included a ribbon for the Victoria Cross or something like that it could be considered false valor. Thinking it was silly and unnecessary is fair criticism though.

So there’s also the Ref 212.30.41.20.01.006 Which is the 1/92 Australian SASR Limited Edition, which is the second generation ceramic bezel version of this one:


There’s an 18K White Gold Ref 212.62.41.20.04.002 version of the Bond Commander’s watch 1/1

There’s an 18K Yellow Gold Ref 212.62.41.20.04.001 version of the Bond Commander’s watch 1/7

That should be all of them though

Here, for the sake of making this thread "complete," are pics of the remaining three that Ash just mentioned. (The unique-piece white gold Commander's watch is indistinguishable from the steel one, as best I can tell, though I imagine the metal shines a bit differently in the hand, and it's got to be heavier; likewise, the SASR watch seems identical--at least on the dial-side--from the standard-issue one.)
