On October 5th 1962, one of cinema’s most iconic characters made his on-screen debut.
Creating a cinematic legacy based on the early novels of Ian Fleming, the James Bond franchise achieved success through 25 action-packed films produced by EON Productions. Since his debut on the big screen in 1962, secret agent James Bond captured the attention of millions as a true icon. Just as James Bond has evolved throughout his time on screen, so have the Omega watches he’s worn on his wrist. While each film stands out as a fan favorite, Omega is particularly fond of GoldenEye (1995) because it was the first time James Bond wore an Omega on his wrist.

Although actor Daniel Craig was an Omega ambassador, Oscar-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming was the one who proposed that 007 should always wear an Omega. Omega is proud to celebrate the 60th anniversary of James Bond with a commemorative collection of diver watches, featuring two limited-edition models made for fans and collectors. The collection includes a classic version of the Diver 300m, as well as a head-turning variation that showcases beautifully factory-set diamonds and gems.
