Bond 24 - Watch

Bond_James_Bond

With the recent pics of Dan in the Atlas Mountains and the confirmation of Morocco as a location for filming.

I saw this photo. Is Dan trying to let us know what the new watch will be?

It's hard to see exactly which watch he is wearing but it looks like another Omega Planet Ocean or the new Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial - but with a rubber / NATO strap.

It doesn't mean necessarily this will be the watch in the film, but sometimes it does offer a clue.

Sir Miles

Isn't he there to film for Star Wars though ?

Those pants though ....hope its not bond style

I hope they are done with the Omega PO saga... with 14 different references featured so far it's kind of ridiculous... I'd like a switch back to Rolex...

If I had to guess....

I'd love it too, but I don't think Rolex will pay to have their watches used.

Did Omega pay to have their watch featured in GoldenEye? I have read that the costume designer Lindy Hemming decided to dress Brosnan in Brioni and have him wear an Omega to give him a more "European' look.

This article (http://www.chronocentric.com/omega/bond.shtml) states that they chose Omega and then got the promotion.

Looks like that new NATO Seamaster Master Co Axial. Do you guys think they will feature the new Master Co Axial Aqua Terra in Bond 24? I own the Skyfall Aqua Terra and love it but the new version looks horrible with that two-tone bracelet.

They should just stick to the PO in my opinion. Thoughts??

Craig prefers smaller watches and the current PO is too thick to go well with a suit, or DJ, IMO.....even though it was worn in the Skyfall PTS sequence.
That said, like you, I prefer the Skyfall AT over the Master Co-Axial version, with the polished centre links and the date surround removed.
But, at this point, who knows?

That statement sounds more like "selling" the new franchise sponsor to the public by someone who is at the end of the day on EONs paylist.

At the time, Omega where willing to pay top $ to promote their watches - the Omega ambassadors (Cindy Crawford 1995) have just been invented. That was part of Omega's strategy about converting the watchmaker brand to an international luxury brand.

For Star Wars Cameo. Would'nt read much in to this Bond filming does not commence until December.

Most likely Rolex would ask the Movie Production to pay for the honor.... )

I dare the production to go back to Seiko digital watches. )

I'd support that plan!

I agree, the Skyfall AT fit his wardrobe perfct in Skyfall. I have the PO 2500 42MM on Steel as well and like to switch it up between the AT and PO. I agree with you on the new 8500 AT, I think it is way too big and the case is too thick. The 2500 was so much more classier looking also.

Indeed - I like the 8500 PO, but this comparison of my 42mm 2500 PO and 42mm 8500 PO that I previously posted in the Watch Porn Wednesday thread, highlights the size difference.
