Would be nice if we did - going on past performance prior SPECTRE they were generally just production line models SMP , PO, AT etc so may already be out there but could be a new one.
With SPECTRE the release of the Special Edition AT first and then the LE SM300 probably shot some Bond fans in the foot. I nearly pulled the pin on the LE AT but thought it mad if Omega did not release a special SM300. Guess what one month later they did but by then many had bought the production SM300 (and left a little miffed for being a little premature) and those with the Bond LE AT looking to trade theirs for the SPECTRE screen used SM300! Proof is in the pudding as I see a lot of LE AT's up for grabs and very few LE SM 300's.
I would be surprised if there was another special watch in the film as they have kind of flogged that but you never know (as I do want to see the DB10 again if possible).
Personally I think it should be a PO (black ceramic?) as I think each Bond has had their watch (Bronsnan SMP etc). I think for DC the PO its the watch for Bond of his era. Its based on a military ancestry (issued vintage SM300), and widely worn buy UK forces pers as well (even if he is ex RM/RN) so a nice nod to his mil service. But that said he is an international spy so it could even be a Geneve or Constellation leather who knows. One thing is for sure I doubt it would be a Speedy that would be stepping in NASA territory!
So having said all that they will probably go vintage on us and have us all in a flat spin (my guess is franchise wise it will be two watch deal as always this seems to be the norm now 1x tool watch and 1 x dress watch from their range)
Cheers :007)
My name is Bond, Basildon Bond - I have letters after my name!
I'm guessing this time they will release a stainless steel blue version of the SM300 (Spectre edition), I doubt they will be featuring NATO strap again though. In the recent Omega event, Daniel Craig mentioned he likes a watch with a blue dial, so maybe that's a hint.
Yesterday I got an email from Omega with an animation showing" all the parts of our brand new watch" it's a Seamaster with a hippocampus case back and a 8500 derived movent, arrow hands and pointed markers, other than that they stop short of showing too much detail. I've been expecting a steel on steel blue SM300 as mentioned above, and maybe a gmt version, hopefully they'll stop with MORE planet ocean models and monstrosities!
I cant see the next watch being as big of a deal as the Spectre one was. Or rather I cant see how they can top it. As long as Omega is involved no doubt the watch will get a special edition and what not but I think the Spectre watch was the peak of their marketing and involvement with the franchise.

I have often thought they missed a trick not releasing the vintage SM300 with a blue face and broad arrow hands imagine this in Blue and on OEM Mesh!
Just B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!

I wonder if they will slowly keep releasing their vintage range as unveiling new models...
