I went to buy the white Seamaster 3x at an Omega boutique but everytime my eye wandered to the NTTD Seamaster. Realized it was the one I loved the most, so the 4th visit walked out with the version on bracelet which fits perfect.
Love this watch. The price makes it a hard sell for me against a regular Seamaster Diver 300m, which is an absolute steal in quality and value per dollar compared to the (excellent) Rolex Submariner. For Craig-Era Bond Omegas, I prefer the Spectre watch myself if I were going to buy and wear one.
I just bought a new one from Omega yesterday. It’s my first real watch and I love it. I have very small wrists but actually didn’t go with the nato strap. I’m obsessed with the watch - hence why I’m still watching videos on it.
@@normalbehaviour476 in one film (I forget which one), he wears two watches in one film. In fact I think Bond has done that in a few films, but not with the top three brands. There is also an "unknown" watch, some people say it's a Tissot (someone has mentioned it in here) and some others disagree...it all gets very tense
I loved loved loved no time to die it was a gorgeous film , I've owned this watch since last may and I still can't stop looking at it , great review by the way and new subscriber here , have a great day.
Lovely vid. Jenni has such a wonderful presenting style. Knowledgeable, well founded opinions, and such a lovely use of language. Oh, and absolutely love this watch too! Time to start saving...
Agree with you... still in shock!... 5. Quantum of Solace 4. Spectre 3. No Time to Die 2. Casino Royale 1. Skyfall... I think this might be the best Bond full-stop!
Having a watch channel with a woman’s touch is a treat. As a woman member (I hope) of the IBWC, trying to find a nice inexpensive watch is a challenge. I inherited from my dad a gold Seamaster De Ville which was given to him by his employer on the 25th anniversary of his service, back when people really got gold watches for their 25th service anniversary, and when people actually stayed with one company 25 years or more. This model is no longer made which is a shame, as, after I had it totally serviced, I wore it every day for a few years, and the fit is great even on my tiny wrist. The watch itself is so thin that I can hardly feel it when I’m wearing it. Maybe if you run out of new watches to review, you could do a video on some Oldies But Goodies. Jenni, you are adorable and you’re charming personality makes your channel especially female friendly.
Am a huge Bond fan myself and I still can’t get over it either, just bcs of that ending this watch will rise in price with the years. 1. Casino royal 2. No time to die & skyfall 4. Spectre 5. Quantum of solace
They should offer it on a very dark brown rubber strap in the same colour and tone as the darkest part of the dial and case. I’ve tried it on the Milanese but it reminded me of a Skagen, although the word Omega stamped at the very end of the Milanese strap is a classy touch. I don’t like NATO straps personally, and at this price it feels like being short changed. Maybe they’ll offer this later on. Other than that it’s beautiful
Any spy hiding in the shadows knows to wear long sleeves to conceal his lumed Submariner. And Bond is so bold and confident that when he gets caught he doesn’t need a British arrow to identify him. He tells the enemy, “Bond, James Bond” Elementary mate.
No time to die was really good for a movie but not a good “spy movie” 🤣, but that being said the action are REALLY good and I really enjoyed it My ranking for Daniel Craig’s James Bond are : 1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall 3. No Time to Die 4. Spectre 5. Quantum of Solace
Nice list. However I feel No Time To Die is overly melodramatic. It would rank bottom of my list. I feel too much drama for a movie that about cold heartless spy.
1) Casino Royale 2) Skyfall 3) No Time to Die (despite the run time....it's a loooonnngggg movie and could have been split into two parts.) 4) Spectre 5) Quantum of Solace I have enjoyed all the Daniel Craig Bond movies and as is said in Spectre - "Time waits for no man, and all that..." Daniel Craig had a great run and should be proud of the work he did along with all the supporting casts and directors putting their own spin on things. Even winning TWO Oscars for best songs. I loved the call backs to other Bond movies in them all but I will admit those in 'No Time to Die' were pretty special.
This Omega product placement really feels like an after thought in the film. This version of the watch fits Daniel Craig's Bond as a blunt instrument as it has a more tactical look to it. I fell in love with the first generation Seamaster Prefessional 300m in Goldeneye. I'll always prefer the Brosnan suave spy and his blue wave dial. Hoping the next Bond will focus on espionage and spy work.
Yep, I’m concerned they found time to kill the entire franchise as we knew it. Time will tell if they can find some way to crawl from the grave they’ve dug for themselves.
I actually tried on one with the bracelet and it fit great. In person it looks gorgeous. The price however is prohibitive. And I already have the regular seamaster 300m professional. Great video!
Controversially i'm ok with QoS, for sure its got problems but there are enough good moments and i find it quite re watchable. 1. Casino Royale 2. Skyfall 3. No Time to Die 4. Quantum of Solace 5. Spectre
@@brandonlesco8738 Exactly! Same here, I really don't get why QoS gets so much hate. I quite liked it. Spectre I found depressing. Bond films are supposed to be fun!
QoS had plenty of great moments, but the moment to moment experience was dreadful. I just revisited it recently, and the editing was horrid. Every shot just cut away way too fast.
I'm very concerned that after all the weight training Mr Craig was worried about the weight of his watch. The British government giving approval of the broad arrow is just the height of naff - it if was a watch already issued through the forces, fine.
Your comment about the titanium being too light is spot on. I just don't like how light they feel on the wrist. That said, the watch featured is beautiful but I prefer the one that has the rifling marks integrated into the dial. That one is really cool! Keep up the good work!
Interesting view point, for my part, as an engineer and a geek, I would have loved if they had fitted the Aqua Terra Ultralight calibre in it as it would make the watch even lighter… It is my first titanium cased watch and I feel I may get the Tudor FXD Marine Nationale too. Hopefully 🙏🏽 in the future Omega will put the Ultralight calibre in other watches.
The passion and emotions in your videos are so honest ❤️ yes felt the same at the end of the movie. Though there was a cute surprise 😉 and that made me smile
I really love your channel Jenni and the fact that after reviewing the watch you took some time to say how you felt about the movie makes me love it even more! Omg I can tell you I had exactly the same feeling after leaving the cinema with my kid; it was our first Bond movie together and man I was not expecting such an end. My list is slightly different: 1. No time to die 2. Skyfall 3. Casino Royal 4. Spectre 5. QoS Keep up the good work and add more of those honest moments like at the end of this video. Viele Grüsse
1. Casino Royale 2. No time to die 3. Skyfall 4. Spectre 5.Quantum of Solace. Great review of the Omega, by the way, Jenni. Loved the movie……I’m tempted to swap 1 and 2, the latest was THAT good.
I collected mine as I arrived in Paris. Beautiful. Very light. I have the bracelet and the NATO but buying another NATO to allow for regular cleaning once back in sunny, humid, sweaty and dusty Dubai. Some years back wore Swatches in alternance with my Cartier Santos so I am used to super light watches… In fact I think that Omega could have made it even lighter by building the calibre with titanium plates and oscillator frame…
Great review. I love the new design. It's a more subtle style that is a good blend of new with an old classical look. Also, we need more movie reviews! Casino Royale is definitely #1.
I love this watch, especially iconic given Daniel Bond Craig helped design it, and that it was used in his last Bond movie. Agree with your sentiments on the ending but I’ve been thinking that the ending because its so unique, gives Daniel Craig even more respect as the best or one of the best Bonds ever. On another note, I’d like to see Panerai make the next Bond watch!
Focusing on the watches that have appeared in the Bond films. For me, the one that stands out the most is Spectre based on the Seamaster 300 1957 with the hour bezel and lollipop seconds hand. The twin barrel master COSC 60 hour power reserve 8400 Caliber is superb all the way. Genuine classic looking with modern component with a 15,000 Gauss anti-magnetism. So well built and will always retain its appeal throughout time. In the Seamaster 300M and the Planet Ocean the HEV/HRV being unnecessary as one would never go deep sea diving to the point that helium would need to escape the watch, so what was the point? The Aqua Terra being a good one BUT the current 8900 version better dial design would have been better. Roger Moore's 5513 Rolex Submariner being second (over the similar Dalton's 16610) Connery's Rolex 6538 being third.
In the Bond books he uses a Rolex like a knuckle duster because it’s strong and heavy. Of course the movies are different but I think it being lightweight isn’t an advantage. I’m seriously considering this. I was very disappointed in the bracelet. I have a large wrist and wanted it to work but it just doesn’t. There’s not enough flex. The only thing really holding me back is the lightness of it (I like feeling the watch on my wrist) and the helium valve. As you can get it with a significant discounts from stores it might be a good time to buy the NATO strap version
Loved the new film. Love the new watch. Reminder though as this isn't a limited edition watch, the pricing is very much on par with Omega's other titanium models My partner has a titanium Omega Planet Ocean that retailed more expensive than the NTTD Seamaster
I honestly have been lukewarm about Omegas, the part about going into space aside, but this new one really clicked for me, and so, maybe one day. Thanks!
I've just bought this watch with the titanium bracelet, I have 8 and a quarter inch wrists and it wears perfectly. I was more concerned how a 42mm Omega would look on me (my two other Omega's are both 45.5) as i'm a big man at 6ft 6 and 18 stone. However it wears just fine and I absolutely love it.
I completely agree it broke my heart as well .... however it was necessary to conclude his life .he is with out a doubt the best bond ever, who ever dose replace him has some very big shoes to fill it would be interesting to see his daughter follow in his footsteps as jamie bond but i doubt that will happen !!! We all live our lives and some day in the future we all will die but what’s truly important is what happens in between !!!!!!
I love it. I have the sea blue Seamaster and bought the matching blue NATO watch band for $275AU, which is so much more comfortable than the $900AU metal bracelet.
I'm not a fan of the Submariner look and not a fan of divers in general but this watch somehow manages to look good to me. I'm pretty sure it's the colour that does it.
The watch is a gem. If you dont take yourself too seriously. It certainly has a place in my collection..Leightweight, very subdued, and a nice vintage touch. I dont mind the fictional Bond connection. Like I said, dont take it too seriously and have some fun. The Bond branding is minimal.for this one and it's just a different seamaster design apart from the regular models in a good way. My Bond movie rankings for the Daniel Craig area: 1. Casino Royale 2. No time to die 3. Skyfall 4. The rest
Went to the premiere of the Bond movie as I had just purchased a couple of Omega watches for my wife and myself, but I fully agree with you Jenni! This ending also made me sad!
Love the watch and your channel. I've been a hard-core Bond fan my whole life. So disappointed in NTTD. My rankings: 1. Casino Royale 2. Quantum of Solace 3. Spectre 4. Skyfall 5. No Time to Die
My List: 5: Quantum of Solace 4: Spectre 3: Casino Royale 2: Skyfall 1: No Time to Die Honestly, 1, 2, and 3 are interchangeable. I loved all three of the movies and think any one of them could easily be considered the best. Without adding spoilers into the comments, I loved No Time to Die and thought that they sent Craig’s Bond off fittingly.
I tried on the watch while on my honeymoon in London and instantly fell in love with it (the NATO, not the Milanese), and it wore surprisingly well for this 160mm wrist. It’s now at the top of my (very short) list for watches I must own. RIght, so my ranking: 1) Skyfall (Javier Bardem was the best villain by far) 2) Casino Royale 3) Spectre 4) No Time To Die 5) Quantum of Solace
The curved plexiglass cause 3D effect when viewed from front. The black dial appears floating in foreground, the seconds track floats in background. Very nice optical effect. You don't get this with sapphire crystal. A work of art by Omega 😎
Hi Jenni, I like your videos in watches. Thanks! Since I have a pretty small wrist, which is around 140mm, I am wondering if this Omega Bond watch will fit even with NATO strap? I have quite a few luxury Time pieces, they look good but I always find it difficult to get straps that fit me.
The first Bond movie Jenni, was released 3 days after my birth, on 5th of October 1962. So I appreciate the connection.🤭Unfortunately, unlike Bond, I keep getting older!🤣 What’s not to like, well apart from the price!😱 Still it is an Omega & will sell, simply because it is! I actually wore the previous edition Bond watch only yesterday. I didn’t see any bad guys all day….👿😎😅
Wart and skeleton hands aside, the faux patina is a dealbreaker. Why I don't like the BB58 everyone fawns over. If I want vintage, I would buy vintage.
This is the best watch Omega have made in decades. It makes the earlier 007 Seamaster watches looked positively childish. Garish, 007 motifs on the dial etc. This vintage looking piece is subtle in its nod to Bond and made from Titanium with a unique dual places it right there with Rolex and their Submariner
Watched it last week and also felt the same…super sad ending for me too…considering it was scripted in a way that he had the opportunity to lead a blissful life….well, it’s a movie after all….
Solid review, Jenni! I agree that Omega should do more in this space and also that they should do this at a lower price. It would make sense for the steel Seamaster to price similar to a Tudor BB in my mind and then to charge an uptick for the Titanium that puts it around the price of the current Seamaster. They also should reduce the size by 1 or 2 mm to get it just right
Dropping the price can be a tricky affair as it affects exclusivity… It is a non limited model but the price will necessarily limit its sales although I read that it sold like hot cakes and was a very successful hit for Omega.
My Craig's Bond ranking from worst to best: Spectre, No Time to Die, QoS, Skyfall, Casino Royale. Skyfall could even get first place but Mads Mikkelsen and Jesper Christensen you know. Craig's Bond watches: 1- Spectre (SM300) 2- NTTD (this one) 3- Casino Royale (SMP 300 date at 3 o'clock) . The rest are a bunch of PO all nice, but nothing fancy or special.
Beautiful watch, but even if it had a date function, it is way too expensive! I would much rather spend that kind money on a another Speedmaster. Love the video, as always Jenni! P.S. I like the Chapter numbers at the top of the screen, but the "Loading Bar" is kind of distracting, just a thought...
Ranking Craig's Bond movies from least favorite to favorite: 5: Quantum of Solace 4: Spectre 3: No Time to Die 2: Skyfall 1: Casino Royale Bonus rankings: Of ALL Bond movies, Casino Royale and Skyfall are 1 and 2.
This watch has grown on me a lot, but the price is just so irrational. Spectre as #2 Jenni, really? For me it’s: 1. Casino Royale 2. NTTD 3. Skyfall 4. Spectre 5. Quantum Even tho I’ve rated Quantum last, I do actually think it’s a great action film. It has some really great sequences. The opening scene in the quarry is incredible, followed by the foot chase after Mr. White gets away.
Everybody is doing a review of this watch right now. Your review is the best and most practical though. It’s interesting to note that the producers originally wanted Rolex to be the official Bond watch but Rolex said no. This was back when the franchise was resurrected with Pierce Brosnan.
Where did you hear this? Cause that's absolutely the first time ever hearing this. And I'm not sure it's true. Pretty sure it's not true actually. But if you are right, please send a link to where you got the info from. Thank you. P.S. Bond wore Rolex in the books and in quite a few movies, but they moved on, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't cause Rolex said no. Rolex passing on Bond wouldn't make sense.
'Fast forward to the 1990s. After the cartoonish Moore years and the dour Dalton films, Pierce Brosnan strutted out as a perfect Bond for his - glib and handsome, he had cut his pearly white teeth as a TV star. The costume designer at the time, Lindy Hemming, considered everything from cufflinks to socks and when it came to his watch, she passed over Rolex for Omega. The Rolex Submariner was by then the most ubiquitous luxury watch around. Omega had a long history with the British military, with its Seamaster having been the choice for Royal Navy divers in the 1960s. So, to the chagrin of Rolex (and Bond purists), Brosnan strapped on a Seamaster Professional and Omega has been “Bond’s choice” ever since.' And Omega outbid all others as well.
I went to buy the white Seamaster 3x at an Omega boutique but everytime my eye wandered to the NTTD Seamaster. Realized it was the one I loved the most, so the 4th visit walked out with the version on bracelet which fits perfect.
I absolutely love my NTTD Omega on the mesh bracelet and it fits me perfectly and it felt awesome wearing it in the cinema when I watched the film
Same here

I love it. It is way up there with my other preferred watches.
What wrist size are you?
Love this watch. The price makes it a hard sell for me against a regular Seamaster Diver 300m, which is an absolute steal in quality and value per dollar compared to the (excellent) Rolex Submariner. For Craig-Era Bond Omegas, I prefer the Spectre watch myself if I were going to buy and wear one.
I think the Spectre omega is the best Bond watch too. Love it on the nato strap! It was fun wearing it to the movie yesterday!
Agreed - they nailed Spectre watch and stuffed this one up royally
I just bought a new one from Omega yesterday. It’s my first real watch and I love it. I have very small wrists but actually didn’t go with the nato strap. I’m obsessed with the watch - hence why I’m still watching videos on it.
Enjoy ! Omega has 3 sizes for the titanium strap: S, M and L. You may perhaps go and check the S.
Omega now has the most Bond outings. As it stands:
Omega: 9
Rolex: 8
Seiko: 5
Gruen: 2
Breitling: 1
Tag Heuer: 1
Didn’t he have a tissot at some point?🤔
@@humblewiz4953 rolex is the literature choice for Bonds watch. As is his passion for his Bentley. Product placement is great revenue for films
That adds up to 26? No Time To Die is the 25th unless you are including the original Casino Royale ?

This is really cool because it brings a piece of fiction and imagination into reality . Awesome video as always from Jenni :)
Just what every spy needs, really bright lume when hiding in the shadows
That was funny, mate! 🤣
And a British Military issue arrow, for when you get caught!
No worse that wearing a shiny Submariner that attracts the local wildlife.

I have enjoyed all the Daniel Craig Bond movies and as is said in Spectre - "Time waits for no man, and all that..." Daniel Craig had a great run and should be proud of the work he did along with all the supporting casts and directors putting their own spin on things. Even winning TWO Oscars for best songs. I loved the call backs to other Bond movies in them all but I will admit those in 'No Time to Die' were pretty special.
This Omega product placement really feels like an after thought in the film. This version of the watch fits Daniel Craig's Bond as a blunt instrument as it has a more tactical look to it.

It’s funny to me that Omega gave it a brushed case because Craig said polished was too flashy, yet they put on a fully lumed bezel.
I'm very concerned that after all the weight training Mr Craig was worried about the weight of his watch.
The British government giving approval of the broad arrow is just the height of naff - it if was a watch already issued through the forces, fine.

Wow. I'm watching this from a hotel room in Seattle. If I was in Bellevue near the Omega boutique, I would buy this tomorrow. Amazing watch!

A Panerai bond watch would be cool but I'm guessing Omega has purchased the branding/marketing rights for the franchise.
Jenni, you’re the best watch commenter on TH-cam. A fan watching from the high Canadian Arctic, via satellite. Keep it up.
I showed my friend this new watch
One could say it really blew his mind
Focusing on the watches that have appeared in the Bond films. For me, the one that stands out the most is Spectre based on the Seamaster 300 1957 with the hour bezel and lollipop seconds hand. The twin barrel master COSC 60 hour power reserve 8400 Caliber is superb all the way. Genuine classic looking with modern component with a 15,000 Gauss anti-magnetism. So well built and will always retain its appeal throughout time. In the Seamaster 300M and the Planet Ocean the HEV/HRV being unnecessary as one would never go deep sea diving to the point that helium would need to escape the watch, so what was the point? The Aqua Terra being a good one BUT the current 8900 version better dial design would have been better. Roger Moore's 5513 Rolex Submariner being second (over the similar Dalton's 16610) Connery's Rolex 6538 being third.
That’s my favorite as well
Depends on your job - if you're a saturation diver compressed down for long periods in a helium atmosphere it will happen...
At 0:50 when Jenni mentioned Bark and Jack, she was like a giddy school girl.
In the Bond books he uses a Rolex like a knuckle duster because it’s strong and heavy. Of course the movies are different but I think it being lightweight isn’t an advantage. I’m seriously considering this. I was very disappointed in the bracelet. I have a large wrist and wanted it to work but it just doesn’t. There’s not enough flex.
The only thing really holding me back is the lightness of it (I like feeling the watch on my wrist) and the helium valve. As you can get it with a significant discounts from stores it might be a good time to buy the NATO strap version
Very emotional this end. I was upside down :)
Casino royale, no time to die, skyfall, quantum of solace and spectre en derniers
Colours are spectacular. Appreciate the no date version.
Loved the new film. Love the new watch. Reminder though as this isn't a limited edition watch, the pricing is very much on par with Omega's other titanium models
My partner has a titanium Omega Planet Ocean that retailed more expensive than the NTTD Seamaster
My favorite Bond watch is still the Casino Royale Seamaster 300m ref 2220.80
Likewise. Simply iconic. Not to mention it's from Craig's best Bond movie. Wearing mine now.
🍸
I honestly have been lukewarm about Omegas, the part about going into space aside, but this new one really clicked for me, and so, maybe one day. Thanks!
I think the ending made the movie more compelling. Or else it would be just another happy go lucky Bond movie.
I've just bought this watch with the titanium bracelet, I have 8 and a quarter inch wrists and it wears perfectly.
I was more concerned how a 42mm Omega would look on me (my two other Omega's are both 45.5) as i'm a big man at 6ft 6 and 18 stone. However it wears just fine and I absolutely love it.
I completely agree it broke my heart as well .... however it was necessary to conclude his life .he is with out a doubt the best bond ever, who ever dose replace him has some very big shoes to fill it would be interesting to see his daughter follow in his footsteps as jamie bond but i doubt that will happen !!! We all live our lives and some day in the future we all will die but what’s truly important is what happens in between !!!!!!
I love it. I have the sea blue Seamaster and bought the matching blue NATO watch band for $275AU, which is so much more comfortable than the $900AU metal bracelet.
I just ordered this watch. I can't wait to get it!
I'm not a fan of the Submariner look and not a fan of divers in general but this watch somehow manages to look good to me. I'm pretty sure it's the colour that does it.
I have to agree with you on your rankings of Craig's Bond movies.
The watch is a gem. If you dont take yourself too seriously. It certainly has a place in my collection..Leightweight, very subdued, and a nice vintage touch. I dont mind the fictional Bond connection. Like I said, dont take it too seriously and have some fun. The Bond branding is minimal.for this one and it's just a different seamaster design apart from the regular models in a good way.
My Bond movie rankings for the Daniel Craig area:
1. Casino Royale 2. No time to die 3. Skyfall 4. The rest
This is my favorite of the Omega Bond watches. It's the first one I've seen that I would consider buying.
Going to see it today with watch gringa, can’t wait 😃😃😃
Good man! I hope it didn't get spoilt for you!
Went to the premiere of the Bond movie as I had just purchased a couple of Omega watches for my wife and myself, but I fully agree with you Jenni! This ending also made me sad!
In person this watch is ironically much more of an eye catcher than the regular polished watches. I didn‘t know this watch and went „what is THAT“.
You can get the same bracelet except shorter at an Omega dealer. It eliminates the extra bulk at the bottom.
I couldn't agree with you more about the ending of "No TimeTo Die"
Love the watch and your channel. I've been a hard-core Bond fan my whole life. So disappointed in NTTD. My rankings:
1. Casino Royale
2. Quantum of Solace
3. Spectre
4. Skyfall
5. No Time to Die
Totally cool looking watch, long overdue. Thanks for a pleasant review. :-)
My List:
5: Quantum of Solace
4: Spectre
3: Casino Royale
2: Skyfall
1: No Time to Die
Honestly, 1, 2, and 3 are interchangeable. I loved all three of the movies and think any one of them could easily be considered the best. Without adding spoilers into the comments, I loved No Time to Die and thought that they sent Craig’s Bond off fittingly.
I agree with your rating and yes I share your feelings about the new one, I was bummed for days
I have this watch and it's worth every cent. And my favorite Daniel Craig Bond movie is Skyfall.
I tried on the watch while on my honeymoon in London and instantly fell in love with it (the NATO, not the Milanese), and it wore surprisingly well for this 160mm wrist. It’s now at the top of my (very short) list for watches I must own. RIght, so my ranking:
1) Skyfall (Javier Bardem was the best villain by far)
2) Casino Royale
3) Spectre
4) No Time To Die
5) Quantum of Solace
Best villain ever : Claus Maria Brandauer and even Adolfo Celi was good too.
I passed on this watch today. It was a bit too Tudor ish... I like Omega for it's luxurious feeling. Not this rustic Tudor ish vibe.
I tried this watch on at my AD, it is a very nice piece of kit with the NATO. Super lightweight. Very overpriced. Looking forward to seeing the movie!
Can I ask a question about the camera you shoot with ? And lighting. I really like the look and feel.
If Omega made a 36mm version of this watch, I’d be all over it! 😅
Agree with your order in the movie franchise series! That's how my list would look like as well lol
The curved plexiglass cause 3D effect when viewed from front. The black dial appears floating in foreground, the seconds track floats in background. Very nice optical effect. You don't get this with sapphire crystal. A work of art by Omega 😎
It is sapphire crystal but is domed.
Hi Jenni, I like your videos in watches. Thanks! Since I have a pretty small wrist, which is around 140mm, I am wondering if this Omega Bond watch will fit even with NATO strap? I have quite a few luxury Time pieces, they look good but I always find it difficult to get straps that fit me.
First time visiting this channel, great review and what an utterly charming reviewer. Edit: Spectre at #2!! I take it back! 🤣
It is a very good movie. And good ending in this video talking about it.
Love your videos, super cool watch! Craig-era Film preference
1 Skyfall
2 Casino Royale
3 No Time to Die
4 Spectre
5 Quantum of Solace
Jenni - agree with your comments about the movie. I would trade #1 Skyfall #2 Casino Royal #3 Specter…agree with the rest.
Im wearing this watch right now and watching this video hahaha i love it
The first Bond movie Jenni, was released 3 days after my birth, on 5th of October 1962. So I appreciate the connection.🤭Unfortunately, unlike Bond, I keep getting older!🤣 What’s not to like, well apart from the price!😱 Still it is an Omega & will sell, simply because it is! I actually wore the previous edition Bond watch only yesterday. I didn’t see any bad guys all day….👿😎😅
Wart and skeleton hands aside, the faux patina is a dealbreaker.
Why I don't like the BB58 everyone fawns over. If I want vintage, I would buy vintage.
Very nice review, as always. Do you prefer this watch, or the SPECTRE Seamaster 300, and why?
You'd think with how much Bond travels he would get a movement with the jumping hour hand setting ability (8906, I believe).
Absolutly agree the torture part as you said, was on point,
the mesh strap doesn't fit bigger wrists either. it is quite uncomfortable. fabric is the way to wear this one.
Great review as always. Would u consider reviewing the vacheron 1921 36.5mm? I think it would be great for the ibwc
good timing, as i am off to watch the movie today Its a thing of tactical beauty and wow wow no date!!! on a diver
OMEGA i love there sedna gold colors.
This is the best watch Omega have made in decades. It makes the earlier 007 Seamaster watches looked positively childish. Garish, 007 motifs on the dial etc. This vintage looking piece is subtle in its nod to Bond and made from Titanium with a unique dual places it right there with Rolex and their Submariner
Jenni. I agree, enough said
Well at least this Bond went out with a bang. Not just any bang but multiple Surface-to-Surface missiles.
Agree with you on the rankings. The one ranking I will add is Daniel Craig is def my favorite James Bond.
Watched it last week and also felt the same…super sad ending for me too…considering it was scripted in a way that he had the opportunity to lead a blissful life….well, it’s a movie after all….
Solid review, Jenni!
I agree that Omega should do more in this space and also that they should do this at a lower price. It would make sense for the steel Seamaster to price similar to a Tudor BB in my mind and then to charge an uptick for the Titanium that puts it around the price of the current Seamaster. They also should reduce the size by 1 or 2 mm to get it just right
Dropping the price can be a tricky affair as it affects exclusivity… It is a non limited model but the price will necessarily limit its sales although I read that it sold like hot cakes and was a very successful hit for Omega.
My Craig's Bond ranking from worst to best: Spectre, No Time to Die, QoS, Skyfall, Casino Royale. Skyfall could even get first place but Mads Mikkelsen and Jesper Christensen you know. Craig's Bond watches: 1- Spectre (SM300) 2- NTTD (this one) 3- Casino Royale (SMP 300 date at 3 o'clock) . The rest are a bunch of PO all nice, but nothing fancy or special.
Beautiful watch, but even if it had a date function, it is way too expensive! I would much rather spend that kind money on a another Speedmaster. Love the video, as always Jenni!
P.S. I like the Chapter numbers at the top of the screen, but the "Loading Bar" is kind of distracting, just a thought...
I hope more people feel that way about the price. I don’t want to see everyone around wearing the same watch as mine.
Ranking Craig's Bond movies from least favorite to favorite:
5: Quantum of Solace
4: Spectre
3: No Time to Die
2: Skyfall
1: Casino Royale
Bonus rankings: Of ALL Bond movies, Casino Royale and Skyfall are 1 and 2.
This watch has grown on me a lot, but the price is just so irrational.
Spectre as #2 Jenni, really? For me it’s:
1. Casino Royale
2. NTTD
3. Skyfall
4. Spectre
5. Quantum
Even tho I’ve rated Quantum last, I do actually think it’s a great action film. It has some really great sequences. The opening scene in the quarry is incredible, followed by the foot chase after Mr. White gets away.
Everybody is doing a review of this watch right now. Your review is the best and most practical though. It’s interesting to note that the producers originally wanted Rolex to be the official Bond watch but Rolex said no. This was back when the franchise was resurrected with Pierce Brosnan.
Where did you hear this? Cause that's absolutely the first time ever hearing this. And I'm not sure it's true. Pretty sure it's not true actually. But if you are right, please send a link to where you got the info from. Thank you. P.S. Bond wore Rolex in the books and in quite a few movies, but they moved on, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't cause Rolex said no. Rolex passing on Bond wouldn't make sense.
'Fast forward to the 1990s. After the cartoonish Moore years and the dour Dalton films, Pierce Brosnan strutted out as a perfect Bond for his - glib and handsome, he had cut his pearly white teeth as a TV star. The costume designer at the time, Lindy Hemming, considered everything from cufflinks to socks and when it came to his watch, she passed over Rolex for Omega. The Rolex Submariner was by then the most ubiquitous luxury watch around. Omega had a long history with the British military, with its Seamaster having been the choice for Royal Navy divers in the 1960s. So, to the chagrin of Rolex (and Bond purists), Brosnan strapped on a Seamaster Professional and Omega has been “Bond’s choice” ever since.' And Omega outbid all others as well.
