Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition - Lug-to-lug?

Rookie1986

Does anyone know what the lug-to-lug is for the 300M 007 Edition?

I’ve tried google but only seem to find case diameter and thickness measurements, I’ve got the chance to get one in a trade but unsure how it will wear on a 17cm wrist.

Any help, photos of the watch on a similar wrist size etc would be appreciated.

Lug-to-lug is 49mm. My wrist is almost 18.5cm, and the watch is super comfortable. There is a thread on the forum by some people with smaller wrists having difficulty with the titanium mesh strap, but I love it.

Thank you for this, looks like a no-go then.

regarding the titanium bracelet, Omega should have a shorter version available that could fit better your wrist...

Correct. I ordered the short version in November and received it on the 2nd of January. Worth it.

Where did you order from, can’t find it on the Omega site

K Karusel

You need to order through the Boutique or your AD.

Ah, currently closed due to COVID. How much are they priced at?

K Karusel

It was 1400 USD excluding sales tax.

I was expecting a few hundred, not 1400, wow! So with that on top it doesn’t make the trade really favourable for me as I’m taking on an additional expense and the watch might still be too large for me. Thanks for the help.

The most striking thing was how lightweight it was on the wrist. Incredibly comfortable.

I’m seriously contemplating trading mine for it once the film has been released and the fanfare has died down a little.

mug you’ve got the opportunity to get it, then do so. I don’t think you’ll regret it

Agree that it is very light and comfortable. It’s certainly expensive, but I’m not sure the price will go down after the movie release, perhaps the opposite?

I’d rather see a limited production run (spanning the life from one movie to the next) than it be a limited edition with a specific amount of units available.

I’ve decided to go ahead with the trade so I should be getting mine within the next week, if it doesn’t work out I can always flip it or trade against something else.

Looking forward to it as it will be my first Omega 😀

PizGloria

Yeah I prefer to see that too.

The designs on some of the previous James Bond pieces by Omega have been pretty shit. But because it’s a limited production run, it retains a lot of its value. Not necessarily through it being a great design, sadly.

I’ve worn Omega dive watches every day for nearly 20 years. Glad to hear you’re pressing ahead with the 007 Edition and I hope you enjoy your first step into Omega.

Look forward to the wrist shot pictures!

I’m a Bond fan and do enjoy the movies, but I was never overly fond of the additional 007 adornments that some of the previous models carried, I do like that the NTTD doesn’t follow suit and just has a subtle nod to the MOD on the dial. I hope they continue down this route with future releases as I personally feel it makes the watches less gimmicky and more appealing.

I think I’ll enjoy it, my Dad has a couple of Omegas and also a vintage 50’s Seamaster that was his fathers, so I’ll be joining the Omega club with good company 😀

You know what I’ve never understood...in the novels and the films, his style is usually very subtle and classy. These aren’t the words I’d usually associate with Omega James Bond limited edition pieces.

My only real criticism of the NTTD Seamaster 300m is the NATO strap not being included with the Milanese bracelet. At nearly £8,000, I think the least Omega could have done was include it as part of the overall package.

Although my Grandad served in the British Royal Navy for 10 years, I think I’m the only person in the family who actually wears Omega. My Dad’s worn Heuer and TAG Heuer watches for the last 40 years, not sure why?!
