Without a doubt.
Although of course Bond also used a PPK in CR!
Any indication of which Omega, Asp9mm - or can you not say
Bond’s Beretta
The Handguns of Ian Fleming's James Bond
Yeah, same old, nothing new.
Thanks heavens for that ! My wallet thanks you
May have spoken too quickly. Expect a twist on the old Seamaster, plus a new Limited Edition too.
And, as 'Walther P99' says, he briefly uses a PPK in the pre-title sequence.
Nope, It will be the usual Seamaster, but with a new black dial and bezel (looks very good). Officially this will be announced in April 2008. The Planet Ocean is not penned for a return.
Obviously he will have one blue on blue at the beginning for continuity, but then...
That's all I can say, but there will be another 10,007 limited piece too.

ASP, is this a just a new Co-Axial version of the old black seamaster, or is it completely new and not based on the previous black seamaster?
damn! thats going to be a good looking watch...my wallet isnt going to like this
Is that this one: http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/smpvssub.html
or is it the exact same as the current but black?
that is not the current seamaster model that asp references (i.e. 2220.80.00)
That is quite an old Seamaster there Nighty, it is due to be discontinued soon. Bonds Seamaster has a completely different bracelet, hands, dial and bezel. I thought you had one of the Brozza versions....
No 'fraid not. Going to be a whole new watch
I don't think the wife is going to swallow me buying another new omega!
I've never heard of the watch company "Alpha" before but the photo will give you a pretty good idea of what the new Bond watch will look like since this Alpha looks just like our beloved Seamaster only with the black dial and bezel.
I have the automatic Seamaster with the blue face and dial (pre co-axial). This will be a fantastic looking watch no doubt but I don't think the color change alone will be enough for me to justify buying another Seamaster. I love my blue one. It has served me well since 1996. However, I still intend to buy the Planet Ocean on the black rubber strap after my pennies are saved up.
For those of you whose wives would go ballistic on an Omega purchase, you may want to check out the Alpha line. The photos I've seen look really nice. Will it be an Omega? No, but they do look quite nice and I'm sure a purchase under $100 will keep the MRS. off the warpath. They also seem to do nice versions of Rolex designs as well.
