Oh man the tux is epic. Great call by Omega, the classic never dies, and so cool to have the spiral effect on the back.

I believe the gemset dial is to celebrate Ian Fleming, author of James Bond books and his home, ‘Goldeneye’ in Jamaica (hence the colour of the jewels)

Happy Thanksgiving John, and thanks for introducing us to this new James Bond watch. I love the touch of class wearing your tux to introduce this watch to us. You beat your competition to be the first to break the news! Omega knocked this one out of the park. Bringing back the old wave dial and the woven steel bracelet and the James Bond theme on the back is fantastic! The only suggestion I would make to Omega is to put “007” on the face or on the hands. I can’t wait to try one on!

The gem watch would have been called more appropriately as the Ian Fleming watch, as the dial pattern and the colors of the gems allude to the his house in the Caribbean. I actually like it.

I like it. Never was a fan of most of the previous ones that were so literal in their 007 branding and tribute. Just too in your face, many of them, and I feel almost cheesy to wear. Perhaps my favorite in somewhat recent past is the Specter Seamaster. Then, maybe the NTTD from the last movie.

I do like the OG wave and no date. It also looks really cool on the mesh , not digging the lolipop hand though. But honestly I don't get it overall , the watch isn't in the movies so it loses a bit of appeal for the Bond fans IMHO and the pricing is gonna put a lot of people off if it isn't a limited run. Personally I would buy a OG seamster and stick it on the mesh.

Ian Fleming really did base James Bond on a real life character. Bond was based on Sir William Stephonson who was spy and the lead representative for the British Security Coordination of western allies during WWII. There’s a great book about him titled A Man Called Intrepid by an author name William Stevenson (no relation)

Would consider a non Bond branded version of this specific reference however, as i do agree it's beautiful.

We fear that the HeV Helium valve toothpaste cap at 10 o'clock must hit & hurt the forearm bone near the left wrist ?! Large 42 mm & huge 45 mm watches for James Bond, while Britsh author Ian Fleming wrote about a subtle 36 mm Explorer 1016 gentleman's wrist watch. Then again "De Gustibus Non Est Disputandum" .

I guess this is a remake. It looks exactly like the modern smp except the dial. The older model is still better in my opinion. 41mm size and 11.5 thick.

Omega is just going for more money following No Time To Die hype. This is basically the SAME crappy timepiece, with 2-second lasting luminova (even after exposing it to direct sunlight for a long time) and the extremely uncomfortable wristband. Not to mention the bare and quite poor watch box (especially when considering it's a 60th-anniversary edition).
