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 ...
It is clear that there will be more than 1 watch in the movie, like in the past. Also visible in the trailer ... A watch with a metal bracelet.
The 3 watch discussion, is how ever something else, I believe ... It refers to a chart of the omega SM300 GMT version SE ... And also being the same watch in all 3 prictures, it explains something about the watch ... What I don't want to spoil here ... I looked it up. Not a big spoiler. But better to decide yourself what you want to know ...

Those guys are also insisting the Rome photo call shoot shows a suit he's wearing in the film (it doesn't) and that the watch he's wearing in the photo call is a screen-used prop. Donk or Asp could maybe better answer this, but would they let an actor wear a screen prop off-duty? That seems unlikely while a film is still in production. They're using the photocall pics as proof the classic bezel is in the film.

All props are checked in and out with the propmaster nowadays right before and after shooting. He wouldn't be wearing one off set with his personal clothing. They are all very tightly controlled, and it's literally the property master's job on the line if it wasn't and got damaged or lost, whatever the actors status, it just isn't done. Craig wore his own vintage 300 during the first press release, so it's typical of him to wear the new one off set at the time of filming

Actually there has been a three watch discussion for a couple of months now, not related to the picture you refer to.
The three watches being discussed as being in Spectre was the AT gauss, the blue AT, then the SM 300.
As with everything all speculation until confirmed

Huh? Why would he wear the AT gauss and the blue master coaxial AT when they're essentially the same watch just a different colour?
It's clear from the pics we've seen that Bond starts off wearing tge blue AT as seen in Mexico and the London scenes then he switches to tge SM300mc with a nato strap and then by the end of the film he's wearing a watch with a bracelet again. This last watch could be Bond putting back on the blue AT which he wore at the start of the movie which would make the most sense but I guess we'll have to wait for further details.
Just been looking at the 'three watch picture' and although it is 'concept art' it does appear to be a photograph. If that is the case, and this is the Screen version, then it is still different from the SA version Omega are releasing as the 12 o'clock number appears to be a traditional UK 'government arrow' which features on all UK government issue equipments to this day.....
The author suggests so in his title and opening paragraph 'Above is my personal favourite from the leaks: concept art of 007’s Q-Branch enhanced Omega Seamaster 300.'
To ASP's point. I have a great relationship with the Omega boutique Manager here in Orlando Florida. I am often times advising her as to what's happening in the Bond world on Omega watches.

POSSIBLE SPOILER:
The 12 o'clock marker on the bezel is a '0'. Underneath the lume 12 o'clock marker on the dial is a indeed what appears to be a Broad Arrow marking either above, or more likely replacing the typical Omega symbol, probably as plot feature to signify the watch is Government issue equipment.
As a long-time replica movie prop collector such a difference from the marketed product doesn't surprise me. Virtually all licensed movie prop replicas have built-in 'tells' in order that the replica is not so accurate that is can be passed off as the actual screen used prop to the unwary.
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.
Good point with the Broad Arrow on the concept art.
Either the Broad Arrow will not be seen in the final movie or the Limited Edition will NOT be screen accurate (as Omega will hardly be allowed to use the Broad Arrow for commercially available goods)

The broad arrow isn't on the screen Omega. The dial and bezel are exactly as you see it on the Ltd Ed.
Got some info from my local OB about the Spectre LE. A little more interested knowing it comes with a brushed SS bracelet. Also, liking how the watch isn't filled with 007 and bond everywhere including the back. Here is some info that was given to me.
Special presentation box containing in addition, brushed stainless steel bracelet with 007engraved on the foldover clasp, a tool to enable the change of the strap/bracelet and loupe.
This was posted on the Omega forums of WUS - can't vouch for it:
Seriously?
I was hoping for a nice metal case back with the Spectre octopus symbol on it. But seeing as they did the Skyfall SE PO with a crystal case back I guess that's the way Omega is going.
What case back has the SPECTRE AT LE got??
Given I can't stand crystal case backs, you've just saved me 5 grand with that post HH )

The SPECTRE AT LE has a gunbarrel sitting over the counterweight and a back of a 9mm bullet - all under the sapphire crystal.

Precisely!
Is this the concept art, http://jamesbonding.com/spectre/spectre-props-concept-art-87.html, or is there more?

Omega have issued their watches with the broad arrow above their logo for the RAF before now. I'd expect the intention was for both to be there.

Your wish may have been granted...?!
"On the back of the case is the "Spectre" logo and the watch's individual serial number"

Nope, don't see a Spectre logo.....!
The article has Spectre in inverted commas, so maybe they were referring to the word Spectre (which is on the back in the picture) and not the octopus
