15 August 2015 Daniel Craig visits with OMEGA factory in Villeret, Switzerland and sees production of the new OMEGA Seamaster 300 “SPECTRE” Limited Edition, which will go on sale in September. Daniel Craig has made a
special visit to the heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry for the
inauguration of the OMEGA factory in Villeret, Switzerland. The actor who
reprises his role as James Bond in Spectre, the 24th Bond
adventure, was given a guided tour, as well as exclusive access to the
factory’s assembly line. During the visit he was also shown production of
the new OMEGA Seamaster 300 “SPECTRE” Limited Edition. “I think what was so impressive was the fact that these watches are made from the ground up. You start with nothing, and then there’s suddenly a working watch. That’s the beauty of it. To see the engineering that goes into it and the legacy that goes into it, that’s what fascinated me.” |

The Seamaster has been James Bond's watch since GoldenEye (1995), with its naval history and classic style, the watch perfectly reflects Bond’s character. Now, in celebration of the new movie, fans and watch collectors will be able to buy the model worn by 007 in Spectre, as the OMEGA Seamaster 300 will go on sale as a limited edition. The release marks a first for the partnership; until now, only commemorative editions have been used to celebrate OMEGA's link with the franchise. |

bi-directional, rotating diving bezel, made from black, polished ceramic,
combined with a LiquidMetal®
12 hour scale, so that time can be kept with any country in the world. |
