Omega have just announced that for the forthcoming James Bond film - The Quantum of Solace, they will be producing a limited edition Planet Ocean watch. At this time, exact details are sketchy but it is thought that 5,007 will be produced worldwide and these will be available from October time. Prices and specifications of the watch are not yet available but this will be a very sought after pieces by Bond collectors.

Since the formal cooperation between Omega and film 007 in 1995, the watches worn by 007 spy, regardless of the radiation cutter, mini rope hook or remote ignition equipment, all are Seamaster diving with blue dial which is watch resistant to 300m. in the newest film 007, apart from the compact story and delicate organs, Omega improves the wrist equipment functions for the most elegant king spy for the whole world, which matches with black dial, and the water resistant has gone up to a step, from 300m to 600m, and the only reason for this is only to meet the need of this most particular high-tech spy in the world, making him can deal with different dangers.

The black textured surface of its dial – reminiscent of the grip of 007’s trademark Walther PPK – distinguishes the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m “Quantum of Solace” from every other James Bond limited edition watch. The blood red tip of the seconds hand rotates in stark contrast to the black dial.

Unmistakably OMEGA, undeniably Bond: a 007 logo is engraved on the buckle of the stainless steel bracelet. Another 007 logo appears on the caseback which also features the engraved words “Planet Ocean Limited Edition” whose black chromium treatment recalls the colour of the black dial.
