I think during filming DC wore the standard 300SM (10,20,30bezel) with Standard Nato strap. Cause filming began before omega produced the spectre edition 300SM, but for additional money in the movie later on there will be a close up of the new 300sm .... . So wither way i think both are SA. Would be funny though to have bond wearing a watch that has 007 on it. The onega site states that there will be 007 engraved on the bracelet strap , are they referring to the small metal part on ghe nato that has The OMEGA text weotten on it? You lnow that small bar on the atrap, is that what they are referring to?
Yep, it will be on the other retaining bar, high side of the face as you look at it. If not there then on the buckle I guess...

What evidence are you basing that assessment on?
The strap is easily switchable, so the chances of EON having their star wearing a 007 branded item on screen is virtually non existent.
And why wouldn't Omega just make one of the SE SM300 for the film production before the public version went on general sale. After all, making watches is what they do and that is exactly what they did for SF with the titanium PO.
We will only know for sure when the film comes out...
Well, it's not "only" conceptual art, it has been independendly confirmed by 2 very reliable sources which i am not able to mention.
Not sure what your motives are for doubting all this but you'll have to deal with it that we'll see a SM 300 with the hour bezel and lollipop hands in a way that is drawn in the conceptual art
I'm happy to wait and see Higgins )
It states "concept art of 007’s Q-Branch enhanced Omega Seamaster 300. The concept art notes just how Bond would use the Omega"
As I mentioned before, It is only my opinion, I do not have insider info. It just would not make sense to release a SE version of this watch that would only allow a select (7,007) group of people to obtain. Effectively Omega would be setting themselves up to lose a lot of potential customers who would want a screen accurate watch.
I have not and would not personally purchase this watch, I have the PO which I much prefer. The addition of the GMT bezel for me also makes this watch completely useless as it takes away all of the Diver and Naval history of both the watch and James Bond in one move.
I will feel incredibly bad for anyone on here who has already purchased the original because they believed it to be the Bond watch if we find out it is not.
There is no proof (ie film footage or clear enough pics from the set) yet, to confirm anything. The Omega marketing is, as always open to interpretation in several areas.

They used a PO in SKYFALL that was never released at all to the general public in the form it appears on screen. Omega releasing a LTD Ed Spectre watch identical to the one seen on screen is a good move by them. Not only is it true, but Omega have themselves confirmed it. Besides any inside information, it's pretty clear from their press release which isn't open to any interpretation. It's there in print confirming it,
The PO in Skyfall is identical in every single way to the watch you can buy from Omega (except for the fact it was made from Titanium which, you do not see).
The Omega Press release states:
"Daniel Craig visits the OMEGA factory in Villeret, Switzerland
The actor sees production of the new "OMEGA Seamaster 300 “SPECTRE” Limited Edition", which will go on sale in September."
It only talks about the Limited Edition (LE) watch. Nothing else.
" Now, in celebration of the new movie, fans and watch collectors will be able to buy the model worn by 007 in SPECTRE, as the OMEGA Seamaster 300 will go on sale as a limited edition. The release marks a first for the partnership; until now, only commemorative editions have been used to celebrate OMEGA's link with the franchise."
Even me with a crap english understand this!

So, it's different then 8-) Titanium is a very different colour to stainless steel.

Though I quite agree with you here - there was no reason to buy the off-the-rack Seamaster 300 reissue prematurely.
There was no limitation - they will do that model for many years to come - very much likely later with a Date.

When I bought my SM300 the manager of the Omega boutique and later the head watchmaker of Omega, who was visiting told me that my version is used in the Spectre movie ... They even gave me a bottle of Bolling champagne with 007 on it ....
I am a bit upset and disappointed. Of course we will now see the SE version , but I suspect that the idea for that came quit resently and will now be added. Not a nice move from Omega.
Also I like the classic version better - which is a diving watch and not a GMT ... Knowing that there is a SA version bugs me.
I would not sell mine to buy the SA version ... And for sure not at a higher price for less.

We must nearly be neighbours!
When i bought my normal version in there and put the nato on it the two guys serving me were so excited, they had seen any of the natos yet. They seemed to think it was the bond watch at the time but i think they were just going from the poster where you cant see the face.

even if it is a bit off topic, would you mind uploading a pic or two of said bottle ? -{

Welshboy offers a good point, if you specifically asked and they specifically claimed that the one they sold you would be SA you might ask for a refund. However...... this might be difficult.
Worth a try. My AD did nothing of a sort but I would be pissed if they did!!

I'd be interested to know who this 'Head Watchmaker of Omega' is. My less-than-better-half knows the real ones in the UK, France and Switzerland and they certainly wouldn't give any information to their friends, let alone false information to strangers, even if they were paying customers. Which boutique was this? I'd like to see a pic of the OO7 bottle too, and more info on it.

First my apologies. I just checked the bottle of Bollinger. It says Omega ... Nothing about James Bond of Spectre..
I was not buying the watch because of James Bond ... And if they would not have brought up the James Bond subject, I would not have known. Also I did keep in mind that we have to wait for the movie to see how much screen time the watch gets, if at all. Of course I was kind of proud and hesitant did make me happy.
I like the classic version better and not knowing about James Bond I would not have bought the SA version ... Well, still bugs me a little. But I guess more they fact that Omega only changed the watch to make some extra money.
I have a suunto sports watch which was used in the movie with the Equilizer ... Also it is SA ... There is are functions of the watch which were created with CGI which I also did not like... Also I had the watch before the movie.
There is speculation on the Omega forum that BOTH SM300s will feature in the movie ... Somehow the change from classic to GMT bezel is part of the plot line. That also explains the rumored 3 watches in the movie... Who knows... But here is the thread in case you want to follow the discussion there ...
