007 Standard Equipment - Omega Seamaster

From 1995 Omega became the standard for 007. Omega has launched many 007 limited edition seahorses. The very popular Omega Seamaster 300m "Commander" limited edition two years ago, the watch is very fancy, the price is good, and many people buy it. The new 300m "Queen's Secret Envoy" limited edition has also been launched. You can also see that in the 007 limited edition, there are relatively many versions based on the 300-meter diving watch of the hippocampus and the 600-meter marine universe of the hippocampus. And what I want to say today is a 007 limited edition modeled on the replica Omega Seamaster AT (aqua terra). It is also one I like very much, the Omega Seamaster "James Bond" limited edition.

Omega's 007 limited edition is based on the production version of the hippocampus, adding some special designs of 007. For example, in the early years, Omega only used the 007 logo on the second hand or the 007 logo on the mass production version of the seahorses. The changes were relatively small. However, in the following years, Omega has made great efforts on the 007 limited edition, making changes on the disc surface, bottom cover, and movement, and forming a clear distinction from the regular version of the hippocampus. It is obvious to people that this watch is not a regular Model.

On the surface of the limited edition of the Seamaster AT "James Bond", the James Bond shield logo is engraved. This logo is the shield pattern that Omega extracted from the James Bond family coat of arms. The shield patterns are connected in twos to cover the watch face, forming the dial of the limited edition of the Seamaster AT "James Bond". The shield pattern on the plate should be laser-engraved, and the pattern has depth. The dial surface of this watch is blue. In frontal light, the dense shield pattern on the dial surface is actually not so obvious. At first glance, it is a dark blue dial. However, under a certain angle of light, the pattern on the watch dial will appear at once, and the blue electro-optic effect is very beautiful.

In order to match the blue dial covered with the shield logo, this watch is decorated with yellow color. We can see that the watch's second hand, digital scale, and dial printing are all yellow. Among them, the yellow second hand has the taste of Omega "Bumblebee". There is also a 007 James Bond shield logo on the yellow second hand, which is very eye-catching, and the shield on the second hand is also luminous. There is also a detail on the limited edition of the hippocampus AT "James Bond". We can see the yellow characters above the 6 o'clock face of the watch, "> 15007 GAUSS". We know that the Omega 8 series and 9 series movements can already achieve 15000 Gauss antimagnetic ability. On this watch, the 15000 and 007 logos are combined, which shows that 15000 Gaussian super antimagnetic, and the addition of 007 elements, the design is very Coincidence.
