So does this mean we can expect that Bond is going back to the Planet Ocean for this film? At least one of the watches?
In the past the watch DC wore for the Press Events were always linked closely to the film watch. It would be naive to think Omega don't use this opportunity.
Might be a new Seamaster variant.
It appears to have a full size marker at 6 o’clock,
No red script,
And the bezel (might) have gold coloured markings (might also be the photo/lighting)
Maybe the small size is a nod to the often-discussed #MeToo surrounding?
Bond is now wearing boysize?
And please gents, don‘t order your watches yet. It seems to me, that these first shots are from Bond‘s sabbatical time, he will probably move on to another model when he gets back into her Majesty‘s Service.

Agreed, Q may issue him with a more significant watch.
Also, remember some jumped too early on the SM300 during early SPECTRE shots, only for Omega to issue a screen used Special Edition!
I'm sure there will be a "special" movie version which will have slight variations, like no date, etc. It's clearly a SMP
I agree that it’s clearly an SMP, but it’s also clear that there are some significant differences from anything in Omega’s current lineup. A different case size goes beyond the simple LE tweaks we saw in Spectre’s Seamaster, IMO.
It's size snacks of the old mid size smps, helluva He valve on it. At first glance at the pictures I thought it was on a mesh bracelet, but it looks like silicon or leather with a deployment.
It's definitely a new Omega Seamaster Diver 300m. Probably the watch Omega said would be launched at a later date.
There are 2 versions of the Diver 300m already in the range that have the "No Date" feature - both are limited editions with a different movement to the range standard 8800.
The Titanium - Tantalum 42mm Diver 300m Omega ref: 210.60.42.20.99.001
and the new Titanium 43.5mm Diver 300m Omega ref: 210.92.44.20.01.001
The version DC is wearing in the first pics definitely has no date and this version has gilt / gold numbering on the bezel very similar to the Tudor Black Bay 58. It could also have a smaller case but it's too difficult to see from the pics available.
The strap is definitely NOT a NATO strap and also very Tudor-esque.
That's the one thing I was surprised about when I realized the size of the Goldfinger and Thunderball Rolex. I never really noticed it when I originally watched Goldfinger. But now in images from Goldfinger and Thunderball I notice the case size. But I wear a similar sized diver myself at times and the smaller case size isn't that big of a deal. At least for me. That's what they were back then I understand for many diver watches.
I'm kind of disappointed that the Bond 25 watch doesn't look like it's on a RAF strap. But consistency in watches isn't what I expect in Daniel Craig's Bond movies. Perhaps the next Bond will get a consistent watch and car for that matter.
I've been wondering what the arrow looking thing above the six was since that close up photo was posted and that could certainly be what it is, good thinking!
From what I can see, we might also get ecru colored lume on this one (called fake patina, faux patina or just plain ugly by some). I wonder what you guys would think of that. I think it might match the rest of the watch quite well but I know a lot of people who are not a fan of this.

I don't see all the orange that others are seeing here.
The bezel numbers are orange

Whoa, very clear there. Thanks!

Definitely. It hits a lot of the same beats as Tudor’s Black Bay 58.

I think it’s probably 39mm.
Would look better on a NATO though, don’t like the gap between the strap and case.

?? What do you mean, Chris ??

Could it be that we see the Broad Arrow over the 6' marker just like on old watches that have been supplied to the British Forces?

Looked lovely on the last one.
