Omega has been collaborating with James Bond since 1995 with the James Bond movie ‘Golden Eye’ and since then the Bond association became an important part of the brand’s legacy. Paying tribute to the same legacy, the brand has now unveiled its first chronograph in the James Bond Seamaster collection with the new Seamaster Diver 300M 007 First Light (Ref. 210.32.44.51.01.002).
The watch comes alive from the universe of an upcoming action-adventure video game 007 First Light. The game explores Bond’s early career in an original storyline and is scheduled to launch on May 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. The watch itself follows the modern Seamaster Diver 300M design language while incorporating several details tied to the “First Light” theme. The watch is made in collaboration with IO Interactive and Amazon MGM Studios.
Ceramic Case Elements and Familiar Diver 300M Design
The Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light” features a 44mm polished and brushed steel case with a lug-to-lug length of 52.8mm, combined with black ceramic components throughout. Its unidirectional rotating bezel features a polished black ceramic insert with a white enamel diving scale and a luminous marker at 12 o’clock. The black ceramic dial with the “Seamaster” logo in red carries the characteristic laser-engraved wave motif. In accordance with the unmistakable Seamaster playbook, the sub dials contrast thanks to a grooved finish. The 12-hour and 60-minute totalizer at 3 o'clock is executed in a two-tone fashion, combining black and PVD bronze gold. The central chronograph lollipop seconds hand echoes the PVD gold color way. The rhodium-plated skeletonized hands and hour markers are filled with white Superluminova. Like other recent Diver 300M models, the luminescent display uses two colors for orientation in darkness: blue emission for the hour indications and chronograph displays, and green emission for the minute hand and marker on the bezel.
Additional details include black ceramic chronograph pushers, the signature helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, and a sapphire crystal case back metalized with “007” and “FIRST LIGHT” logos. It showcases Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 9900, an automatic integrated chronograph movement certified by METAS. Decorated with Geneva Waves in arabesque, features a column-wheel chronograph architecture, Co-Axial escapement, resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, and a 60-hour power reserve thanks to two barrels.
Three Decades of Seamaster and Bond
Omega’s partnership with the Bond franchise has produced some of the brand’s most recognizable modern watches. Pierce Brosnan wore quartz and automatic versions of the Seamaster Professional Diver 300M during his tenure, while Daniel Craig later introduced models such as the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M in Casino Royale, the blue Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial in Skyfall, and the titanium Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition developed for No Time To Die. Before Omega’s long-running association with Bond, earlier actors including Sean Connery and Roger Moore wore watches from Rolex and Seiko in various films.
With the “007 First Light,” Omega brings the Seamaster into a new chapter of the Bond universe, connecting one of watchmaking’s most established movie partnerships with the expanding world of video games. The watch is paired with a black, grey, and beige polyamide NATO strap fitted with a polished and brushed grade 5 titanium buckle, while the strap keepers are engraved with “007” and “FIRST LIGHT.”
