Is this a "fake" NATO strap? I mean: is it a two pieces strap?

Anyway, this watch is reeeaaaally fat!

Hard pass. I would buy another NTTD first. I sold mine because the bracelet did not work on my tiny wrist and I hate straps. Or a 60th anniversary.

I can’t wait until the 300M gets its update. Guessing it won’t be in 2026 with this release.

Seems like they're just throwing whatever they have in the spare parts bin together thesedays.

I mean... we've already seen this. There's really nothing new here except the back of it, and the whole thing is pretty lame IMO. Although, given that book Bond spoke about using his watch as a knuckle duster, this absolute unit is the perfect watch for the job!

Omega lists it on the website as a NATO strap so I suspect this might just be a little photography trickery to show off the Bond branding on the sapphire caseback, it's likely a one piece.

Not for me either... USD 9'400....
Dude I’m still not used to seeing Seamasters over 8k especially the base models 😭. But you figure they would had taken the opportunity to update it with a new design.

My goodness that's a big watch.

Isn't this just a color-scheme on the existing Seamaster Diver Chrono? Everything else looks identical, and the site keeps it under the same heading.

Actually not a price increase at least, looks to be within-shooting-distance of the same price as the rest of the Steel Seamaster 300m chronographs. Looks like all of the bracelet models are 9600 (so I guess you're 'paying' bracelet prices for a NATO strap?!).

Yeah it’s just another variant of an existing model. And we’ve already seen the variant months ago from the games promo materials.

Agree. It's probably the same size as what already exists. I just haven't looked at any of them for a long time. Now I remember why!!

In my opinion, at 44 mm case, 17.20 mm thickness and 52.80 mm Lug-to-lug it needs to be paired with a stainless steel bracelet and they throw-in the a NATO Strap, especially for that price point.

Is this the first time they etch the name of a movie/game on the watch? I’m curious to see if the next movie version will feature the same 😬

Movie no, there have already been Bond editions that have done this. Game yes. Actually I think it's Omega's first game cross promotion ever, right?

The N64 GoldenEye watch was inspired by the movie SMP, but really looks almost unrecognisable and certainly had zero input from Omega.

It's just wild they finally made a video game James Bond watch, could you imagine if they did a homage seamaster colors, to the N64 one back in the day!?
