    I’m definitely not tired of seeing this poking out of my sleeve :)

    Could that be the next project for our Props gurus...?

    Caseback for the movie watch is different. The mesh at the back is different too with the copper strip... Nice to know its a gadget. I see a blinking helium valve in that clip, I knew they'll incorporate that valve to be some form of gadget!

    This would make sense as to why he's wearing it in retirement but it's still a mission gadget. Q refits it with a little IED caseback or something at some point!

    Yeah good point, especially as it has the military symbol on it: it wouldn't be very subtle of Q to give him a watch which tells people he's in the Navy! :)

    Great shot! I checked one out at my local boutique, they only had it on the nato. I didn't vibe with it then, but man, I do love that bracelet. I'm considering the watch more for the bracelet than anything :))

    Not happy!

    I bought one of these in good faith that it was the watch James Bond wears in the film.

    Nooooow I find out the one he wears has a blinking helium valve and a small explosive on the back of it! I am livid as the one they sold me is clearly not SA!

    Have contacted Omega and my AD and am awaiting a response!
    Yes. Considerably.

    Commiserations, Ferinstal, but on the bright side it's probably easier to wear yours through an airport than it will be for Bond to wear his!

    There is a page on the Omega NTTD book which hints at a number of gadgets.

    That looks like it's just showing gadgets that have been in the Bond Omegas over the years. The watch in the picture is not the NTTD model (date, different bezel, no broad arrow, different bracelet etc).

    You've been sold the totally screen-accurate "Sitting Your Retired Ass On A Boat" Edition. It clearly gets retrofitted with the extras once he returns to London.

    That version goes on sale when the movie opens next summer. :))

    (Real talk: if the movie shifts again, I could totally see Omega releasing a deluxe (!!) version with both bracelet and NATO, in a proper box this time, to coincide with the release...)
  • GiugiaroGiugiaro Posts: 23MI6 Agent
    JTM, Fair comment. I was getting a little over excited there !
    Those features would indeed be an awful lot to pack into a single watch.
  • FerinstalFerinstal North of Londinium...Posts: 310MI6 Agent
    The AD I got my NTTD watch from has just sent me a copy of the Omega ‘magazine’ - I say ‘magazine’...but it’s a weighty tome with 154 packed pages of Bond goodness! As I’m avoiding as much as I can about the film, I ain’t going to be looking any time soon but it will be great to dive in to after release.
    Yes. Considerably.

    :)) Fair point, well made Sir!

    Re: the ‘Deluxe’ version... If C&J can charge £900 for a pair of £440 dress shoes with 007 shoe-trees and a ‘Limited Edition’ box, nothing would surprise me!

    I’d actually be good if they did - would make my ‘original’ release more valuable! Besides, I’ve worn my every day since I got it and just love it :-)
    Yes. Considerably.

    I came across the watch today on the NATO strap. Looks really good but was very brown under the AD lights.

    I wonder how many price jumps and special editions Omega can get out before NTTD is actually released?! :))
  • welshboy78welshboy78 Posts: 10,292MI6 Agent

    Should get before April 2021 :))

    It will be proper vintage by then! :)
  • AugustWalkerAugustWalker Posts: 880MI6 Agent
    This watch will probably loose its warranty way before the movie is released... :v
    The name is Walker by the way.

    Check it out, you won’t be disappointed :)

    Standard SMP will have a lovely genuine patina by the time NTTD is released :D

  • JTMJTM Posts: 3,027MI6 Agent
    It’s not a limited edition, but I wonder how long Omega will keep this watch in their collection? If the NTTD had released in April this year, and the movie’s physical release had now been and gone, would they be starting to slow production?

    I asked at a few boutiques earlier in the year and was consistently told whilst it wasn't limited edition it would remain in the collection "until the next film".

    Omega seems to be really screwed here. They're charging a premium for a watch that isn't a limited edition, but they can't get the movie marketing they need. The NTTD watch already seems like old news in not just the horological press but men's magazines and style blogs (and vlogs) too. The watch business is something I know nothing about so I'll let others with industry experience prognosticate about how Omega will handle this.

    I wonder if this actually gives them multiple spikes in interest to help them move product. Whatever we're thinking, there are those that will get caught up in pre-release hype, which now has three different spots on the calendar to hit them, allowing for a variety of fiscal situations (skint in November, maybe more flush in six months, etc).

    The watch isn't going anywhere. It will be in production until the next Bond movie comes around. So that's about at least another 3 years minimum maybe.
  • ichaiceichaice LondonPosts: 593MI6 Agent
    Damn 007! I ordered the Bond Seamaster, then cancelled it and bought another Omega and I think I’ve just ordered the Bond again :))
    Yes. Considerably!

    This is an interesting review and comparison of the new NTTD Seamaster from a fellow Bond enthusiast (sitting in an impressive little collection!) Is this a member here?

    Anyway, well worth a watch... B-)

    Fun video, but as he's staring at and photoshopping an image of the watch on his iPad, and it's not in hand, I (and I'm sure he) would be wary of considering that a "review."

    Yeah. There are way better video reviews of the watch on YouTube....

    New edition of The Rake through the letter box this morning, found myself Bond-ing with Eddie Redmayne.

    Also wonderful article on the continuation DB5 launch at Stoke Park.

    It does look nice there (I love a domed crystal!) but it's a bit surprising that another movie actor would want to be photographed wearing it! That's Mr Craig's watch! :)
