For more than sixty years,  James Bond has been defined by composure and unmistakable style. From the early days of Dr. No to the modern era of No Time To Die, the character has evolved with his timepieces. Among them, the Omega Seamaster has become inseparable from 007’s image. The Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond pays tribute to the cinematic partnership with a design that feels timeless, sophisticated, and perfect for everyday wear, even if your day involves more emails than espionage.

Seamaster 300M Case Size and Wearability

OMEGA has built its reputation on creating larger sport watches that wear better than their numbers suggest. This watch continues that tradition. The case measures 42 millimeters across and about 50 millimeters lug to lug, but it wears comfortably and sits securely on the wrist. The curved lugs and overall balanced weight make it wear slightly smaller than the dimensions might imply. It’s still a piece with substantial wrist presence, without being too overbearing. 

The stainless steel case alternates between brushed and polished surfaces, giving it a modern sports-diver look without being overly flashy, with an excellent overall fit and finish. It feels like a professional diver’s watch that also looks right in more refined settings, and never seems out of place with a suit jacket or dress shirt.

Dial and Bezel

The dial on this anniversary Seamaster keeps everything that makes the Diver 300M so recognizable. It’s finished in deep blue anodized aluminum with the laser-cut wave pattern that has been part of the collection since the GoldenEye era. The texture is sharp and detailed, and the rich blue color softly shifts under different lighting conditions. The domed sapphire crystal adds a bit of distortion at the edges, giving the watch the kind of vintage character that collectors appreciate and in person and carries that familiar Seamaster depth that photographs never quite capture.

The applied markers, sweeping lollipop seconds hand, and skeletonized hands, and are filled with dual colored (green and blue) Super-LumiNova, keeping legibility strong from day to night.

Around the dial, the anodized aluminum bezel includes one of the few visible references to the anniversary: a “60” at the top replaces the usual inverted triangle and lume pip – a subtle detail that pays tribute to the namesake milestone without sacrificing the overall character of the watch. The dial makes a quiet first impression, but with more time on the wrist you start to appreciate the way that texture, proportions, and finishing come together, creating a design that feels intentional and refined without relying on anything too flashy or gimmicky.

Mesh Bracelet and Comfort

The mesh bracelet of the Seamaster Diver 300M connects this watch directly to Bond’s on-screen legacy by carrying over the mesh-style design from the titanium Seamaster featured in No Time To Die, this time producing it in brushed stainless steel. It looks purposeful and feels solid, with smooth articulation that keeps the fit comfortable throughout the day.

For those with hairier wrists, it’s worth noting that this bracelet doesn’t snag or pull like some lower-quality mesh designs. The signed folder clasp operates smoothly, locking with a confident click. It’s worth noting that the clasp has a bit of extra thickness at the overlap (shown above), something you notice at first but quickly get used to once the watch settles on the wrist.

Co-Axial Movement & The Animated Caseback

Inside, the Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond runs on the Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806. It’s certified by METAS for accuracy and magnetic resistance, with a silicon balance spring, free-sprung balance, and a 55-hour power reserve. The movement operates at 25,200 vibrations per hour and is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss.

The back of this Seamaster is where OMEGA allowed itself a chance to show off. Beneath sapphire crystal, the brand recreated the opening gun-barrel sequence from the Bond films. Through micro-structured metallization, the animation produces a moiré pattern that moves continuously with the seconds hand. The effect is smooth, subtle, and completely captivating once you notice it in motion.

Presentation and Packaging

Presentation is an often-overlooked part of watch collecting, but Omega treats it with the same care and thoughtful design as the watch itself. The Seamaster 60 Years of James Bond arrives in a blue wooden box finished with the Diver 300M wave pattern on the white leather interior. Three white dots on the outer box reference the gun-barrel sequence from the films, while a hidden push button on the side releases the latch to open the box (a subtle nod to Bond’s trademark gadgetry). The overall package feels substantial without being excessive, matching the personality of the watch perfectly.

Final Thoughts

The Omega Seamaster Diver 300M 60 Years of James Bond is not a novelty piece. It’s a serious tool watch that happens to carry one of cinema’s most recognizable names. Each design element, from the engraved dial to the animated caseback, feels considered and complete. It delivers the performance expected from a professional diver while celebrating the legacy that made the Seamaster part of Bond’s world. It’s easy to imagine this watch paired with a tuxedo, but it feels just as natural in everyday wear, fully licensed to handle your mission with ease.
