Omega New Release - The "Commander's Watch"

Recommended Posts

JohnCocktoastin

Having just purchased an Omega 300m SMP (and failing miserably at my attempt to patiently await its arrival) I've been checking a lot of pics online, and came across this new release the other day.

Not normally a big fan of white faces or gold watches, but the gold with the nato strap is quite appealing. Since I don't think I'll be able to afford throwing 28,000 CHF's (or UHF's or VHF's or WTF's) on a watch anytime soon, I'm wondering how long it will take Kuvarsit or ZF to rep this baby. Do any you know any TD's who have the inside scoop with them? I think a 007 watch would suit me well, esp. since I've had a license to kill* for years now.

Believe it or not, I just saw this in an AD's window in Tenerife tonight! I hadn't seen this before so it caught my eye, especially in the 007 presentation box. Looked great.

Wow that's a pretty quick rollout after only intro'ing it in London on less than 2 weeks ago. Sounds like Tenerife is similar to the Caribbean islands for us Yanks. Lots of duty free shops, e.g., Little Switzerland, where they keep a towel on hand to wipe the drool off the display cases. Cervezas and watches and guapas - oh my! Nice little holiday for the Del Boy.

I gotta say... I cannot stand that rotor... looks like the rotor you get on a cheap aliexpress rep...

Not a massive fan of the 007 theme... ...quite like the colour schemes though.

The stainless steel one looks like it might be somewhat ok, the gold one looks ridiculous.

Sir, you have insulted my honor! I demand satisfaction.

I like it, just don't like 007 on stuff - I love bond, but don't want the branding on a watch.

Absolutely Chief! I don't like Nato at all personally.

 

I like the SS bracelet version and white face.

I don't mind the 007 branding, because it makes me think about Ian Fleming. A real badass if there ever was one.

I kind of agree with that. This one is at least a little discreet with the face only showing the second hand 007 as opposed to some of the other Bond Omegas. It's not like people would look at it on my wrist and think I'm some James Bond wannabe. Plus I'd only wear it with my white tuxedo while drinking my vodka martini and aiming my Walther PPK all over the place.

If you are juvenile enough to go with '007'

much else matters little

I would have thought

First picture looks like a medal Gaddafi would be proud of.

Take yourself in hand. That should be satisfying enough.

I really like the gold, although that seems to be a minority opinion. If they offered a gold model with matching bracelet I think it would look great.
