Check out the press release for the ltd edition Skyfall PO. Also shows a pic of Bond on motorbike wearing a PO (Turkey?)

Looks like both AT and PO watches appear in Skyfall as expected

There will be a scene in the film when he has to change his watch (probably due to damage).

I'm sure it won't be in any way an obvious product placement shot

Im betting early on as this is the PTS

Jeez... that my first post here? Holy lurker-fanboy, Batman. I suppose all the preceding dialogues were only in my head. )

Presumably this PO will have the liquid metal bezel? The one on DC's wrist I mean not the SE.

The Bond Vivant

I'm not 100% sure. When I posted about DC wearing a Black Planet Ocean back in December, my contact at Omega Bond Street let it slip that his manager had to rush down to the set in London with the Black PO, so it's posssssssible that he wears it later on in the film. He also told me that there will be 3 Omegas tied to the film - Obviously the Aqua Terra. We now have confirmation about the Black PO. He also mentioned that one of the other watches they are supplying is a De Ville Hour Vision for one of the other cast members - possibly Javier Bardem.

Forgive me for this question as I have been away from the forum for a while and a bit behind with things.

Is it confirmed that the Aqua Terra is the 38.5mm version or the larger version?

Higgins

38.5 is confirmed

Bond damaging the watch would be a lot better than the idea of Bond bringing multiple watches with him. Which is what I inferred in Casino Royale. I didn't watch Quantum of Solace enough to notice different watch models. I still like the Connery single watch days of Goldfinger and Thunderball. Brosnan had a good streak too although the first version was a quartz. I wonder if Brosnan actually wore an automatic in Goldeneye and they just used the quartz for the hero shot. Brosnan doesn't seem the type to wear a quartz watch.

Confirms the Aqua Terra model

Stefan

Omega finally decided to say something about the blue AT in relation to Bond and Skyfall,
Apparently the AT is unofficial watch, and the OP is the official.

Check it out..

So whats the model number for the PO

Stefan

Collection Seamaster Planet Ocean
Version Steel on steel
Reference 232.30.42.21.01.001
Size 42 mm



But Omega, even in the previous post plugs the wrong planet ocean, Bond does not wear a special edition in the traditional sense, in that his is a one off Ti piece as opposed to the stainless steel version which is significantly heavier than his Ti version, which is meant to look like a standard steel version of a 42mm PO.

It's annoying that they keep showing the wrong watch and keep calling it the Bond watch, especially since Omega does not make a 42 mm Ti PO like what we see in the movie for the PTS for a mass consumer market.

In 2008 when QoS came out the Omega PO was roughly £1,800 and I thought to buy it one day.

Time went past and yet another Bond film comes out, which reminded me how much I really want to get this watch... anyway, now its valued between £3,300 and £4,000... how come its gone up so much?! I know its been 4 years... but still!

Is this because Skyfall is out and prices will come down in 6 months?

Just sounds like mad that the prices have gone up by 100% in 4 years.

Thanks

Stefan

Omega is attempting to put the "lux" back into luxury with regards to their watches, hence zero discounting from any of their boutiques, you cannot even return an omega from one of the boutiques if you do not like the watch once you have bought it, you merely get a store credit. Every year like all Swiss watch makers, there will be at least one price increase. One year Rolex, had three price increases. There is also two versions of the movements in a PO, the one from QOS was a co-axial, but the current PO's, with the ceramic bezels, omega is using their in house 8500 movement, another reason for the increase in price. There will never be case sadly, where the priced will drop, they will only rise, the plan is to phase out the coaxial movement and go completely in house, in the next few years.

Thanks Stefan.

Should have bought it 4 years ago when i was about to.

So being in-house now, are they better quality?

Higgins

The "old" coaxial movement from the PO was also an inhouse movement. ETA is part of the Swatch group and the movement in the PO (2500) was a heavily modified 2892-A2 ETA, so inhouse to the same degree like the "new" 8500.

The difference is that the 8500 is exclusive to Omega and it's more haute-horlogerie in many parts - but gives Omega the chance to double the price for the corresponding watches as you can't find the same base movement in other cheaper watches.

Rolex went up 100% in the last couple of years and Omega did the same so did most of the other competitors.

Higgins

Regarding the Ti Planet Ocean watch from Skyfall, I have 2 working hypothesises:

1. It may be a simple description error in the Christie's auction and the SF watch is the standard steel watch

2. I won't be surprised if Omega came up with a Ti version of the PO in the very near future.

That DC wears a PO version in SF which is not part of the regular Omega product line does not make much sense to me.

Got my first AT compliment while at line at Starbucks, well sort of.."Nice watch, is that a Rolex?"

Hahaha well I guess that's why they went with the AT to pay homage to Ian Flemings Oyster perpetual. They look similar. The AT is actually growing on me....

On me too, is this bit bigger than Rolex Oyster that makes it more up to date.

That's pure speculation as everything else does not make sense

Stefan

I have not head of anything regarding the Ti PO in a 42mm, if so we are looking at a price of no less than $8600 plus tax, as opposed to the current steel version with the 8500 movement at $6200 plus tax.

The AT is pretty thick for its size so it sits on the wrist and wears big, like so...
