James Bond is a character that has become synonymous with class and sophistication; a British spy who, for more than six decades, has defined a golden era of cinema.
Bond’s classic Aston Martin cars, mind-blowing gadgets and charm that seem to effortlessly manifest itself with the same relative ease of a pull of a trigger, all serve as the hallmarks of his unmatched style. Yet, among the glistening vehicles and innovative devices, Bond has always relied on one particular companion to complete his missions: a luxury Swiss 1:1 replica watches known as OMEGA.
When Did James Bond First Wear OMEGA?

This perfect Omega copy watches not only complements Bond’s rugged elegance but embodies his dual nature – equal parts precision and durability – finding a kindred spirit in a timepiece uniquely engineered to the demands of the mission.

“Since that year with GoldenEye, the OMEGA Seamaster has been worn on every mission. Along with the watches on screen, we’ve also produced an evolution of tribute high quality replica watches, which are crafted with exclusive James Bond details, and which give 007 fans a chance to celebrate the franchise in a truly unique way.”
What OMEGA Did James Bond Wear in No Time To Die?
