Band: Steel Clasp: Steel (Deployant) Glass: Sapphire crystal Water Resistant: 30 Bar (300 m) The association between the 147-year-old Swiss watch company and the 73-year-old British spy novel & action film character dates back to 1995’s GoldenEye.

It is also a co-axial movement developed by Dr George Daniels in the 1970s and industrialised by Omega in 1999. It virtually eliminates the sliding…
