This is just my opinion but I think Omega would sell more "bond" watches if they stopped making them limited edition. I know I started looking at Omega after seeing the watch on a bond movie, but it was limited edition, over priced and more difficult to find. I never bought it.
Beautiful watch: the slimmer silhouette, the slightly domed crystal, the titanium shades... and that bracelet: it is a killer!
But... I don't like much the Tropical thing and hot temperatures...
I'm more a cold, ice person... what if they make a frozen version?
Anyone to chime in if he has a clue as to why Omega did it in Ti 2? I spoke to a friend of mine who is into metals and as of him Ti 2 might be even dangerous as it may set by itself sometimes on fire. Ti 5 is considered superior as it has Vanadium and Aluminium in its content.
In this line does anyone as well know what is the Ti quality of the bracelet and buckle?
so basically, a second Casamigos collab
According to the Hodinkee podcast, they sold 7007 of the 25th anniversary watches and had a waiting list of over 20000. That's at least 13000 unfulfilled potential sales. We see it from the "watch world" perspective, the general public or specialized communities around movie franchises or space enthusiasts don't see it that way.
It shows that general public is interested more in fictional James Bond than moon landing story..

MC: So, what can you tell us about your role in the design of the watch?
Daniel Craig: The relationship has built over the five movies that I’ve done. When I did Casino Royale, I kind of wanted a new watch. I wanted my watch. My Bond watch. Pierce’s watch was very beautiful and I have one and I wear it often. But I wanted one that suited my Bond. The Planet Ocean that I wore in that film, I still have it, felt correct. It’s a big watch. If you were in real trouble, you could wrap it around your knuckles and smack someone in the face with it, which is an important thing. But what was great, was that I started talking to OMEGA and all the people there, and we started having a dialogue, and I suppose I thought, “they’re not really going to listen to me, they’re a watch manufacturer.” I love watches but I know very little about them, but actually the relationship has built and built and built. What’s been amazing is that we’ve had a back and forth and we’ve talked about watches and I’m so incredibly proud of where we’ve got with it. I feel like they’ve listened to me, which amazed me, and I’m very happy they did. This watch is the culmination of all of that. There are many things. It feels like a military watch, but it’s elegant. I had one important thing, which was that my sleeve must be able to fall over the top of it. And it can. So you can wear it as a dress watch, but it feels like a military watch and a substantial watch. And then with the titanium, it’s as light as a feather and it’s sort of magic. I’m so proud and so happy and incredibly impressed with it. It was brought to me right at the beginning of the filming process and presented to me, and I looked at it and said, “there’s nothing I need to say, you’ve done it, this is it, it’s the James Bond watch.” So I just thank you guys so much.
