I'm a huge fan of the skeleton hand Seamaster, and even love the Bond/Omega connection, but this is pretty terrible. Not only is this aesthetically unappealing to me, it's commemorating what exactly? The 50th anniversary of the 5th Bond movie? Wtf is that?
I heard the same thing. The one he wears in the film will be offered near film release and will not be a limited edition. As strap-works stated the limited will be black dialed and have the spiral dial design and be released first. At least that is what the OB here stated.
As far as I know release of new Bond movie is expected on November 8th, 2019. Which should mean we are to expect the themed Seamaster any time soon!
Actually, the current expected release date is April 8, 2020.
Not sure if he was allowed to or not, but Ben from Hodinkee just confirmed on today's podcast (Ep. 59) that the new screen-worn watch is cased in titanium, and has a more 'military feel'. If true, and the milanese is also titanium, and if it's got an 8900-series movement, I'm not sure I'll be able to turn this one down.
