Launched in 2022, the Omega Seamaster James Bond 60th Anniversary blends heritage, pop-culture cool, and real performance. This 42mm Seamaster Diver 300M is made with stainless steel and features a blue anodized aluminum dial with laser-engraved wave patterns. The design is inspired by the Seamaster worn by James Bond in GoldenEye (1995). A “60” replaces the traditional inverted triangle on the dive bezel.

The Birth of the Omega Seamaster
In 1948, to celebrate its 100th anniversary, Omega watches introduced the first Seamaster. Designed for durability and everyday versatility, the Seamaster line is still one of the most respected and recognizable collections in modern watchmaking. Take a closer look at some of the most iconic Omega Seamaster watches.
The Case & Caseback | Classic Seamaster Shape With Anniversary Details
The 42mm stainless steel case stays true to the Seamaster Diver 300M design that collectors know well. It feels solid on the wrist without being bulky, and the proportions work for everyday wear. What sets this case apart are the small anniversary touches that reward a closer look.
The caseback shows a moving James Bond animation. As the seconds hand turns, the silhouette of Bond inside the famous gun-barrel opening appears to animate. This effect is created using layered metal and sapphire, not a screen.
Case Highlights:
- 42mm stainless steel case
- Classic Seamaster Diver 300M profile
- Commemorative “60” marker on the bezel
Movement & Caseback | Performance Meets Detail
Inside the Seamaster James Bond 60th Anniversary is one of Omega’s modern automatic movements, built for accuracy, durability, and everyday use. It feels smooth in operation and dependable on the wrist. This is the kind of movement you don’t have to think about once the watch is on.
Omega is known for making movements that can handle real life, not just careful wear, and this one lives up to that reputation. You can wear this watch daily without worrying about performance.
Movement Highlights:
- Automatic movement
- Smooth time setting and operation
- Built for accuracy and long-term reliability
- Designed for everyday use, not just special occasions
The Bracelet | A Vintage-Inspired Mesh That Changes the Feel
The mesh bracelet is a standout feature. It gives the Seamaster a different personality compared to the standard bracelet. Inspired by early Bond Seamasters, we love that it adds a vintage touch while still feeling modern.
On the wrist, the mesh is comfortable and flexible. It drapes naturally without pinching or pulling. The clasp is solid, and once sized, it feels like it disappears into the background.
The Dial | Laser-Engraved Waves With Real Depth
The blue dial is where we think this model really shines. The laser-engraved wave pattern adds texture without cluttering the layout. In different lighting, the waves catch and reflect light, giving the dial movement even when the watch is still.
The markers are bold and easy to read. The hands are clean and well-proportioned. Everything feels intentional. It’s a modern take on a classic Seamaster look.
Lume | Classic Seamaster Legibility
In low-light conditions, the Seamaster James Bond 60th Anniversary performs exactly as you’d expect from a modern dive watch. The hands, hour markers, and bezel markings glow brightly and evenly, making the time easy to read in darkness.
The blue-green lume complements the wave-engraved dial and reinforces the watch’s tool-watch roots. Whether you’re in a dim room, traveling, or underwater, legibility is never an issue.

FAQs
1. Is the Omega Seamaster James Bond 60th Anniversary watch a limited edition?
It is a special anniversary release celebrating 60 years of James Bond. While Omega has not released a fixed production run, it is considered a commemorative model and is produced in limited quantities compared with standard Seamaster references.
2. What makes this Seamaster James Bond 60th Anniversary different from a regular Seamaster Diver 300M?
This model includes several Bond-specific details. These include the blue wave-engraved aluminum dial, a commemorative “60” on the bezel, a mesh bracelet, and an animated caseback inspired by the classic James Bond opening sequence.
3. Is this watch suitable for swimming or diving?
Yes. The Seamaster Diver 300M is water resistant to 300 meters. Keep your piece in the best shape possible by knowing when to service your Omega watch.
4. Is the mesh bracelet comfortable?
The stainless steel mesh bracelet wears lighter than it looks and sits flat on the wrist. Many people find it more comfortable than a traditional link bracelet, especially for all-day wear.
5. Is the Omega James Bond 60th Anniversary a good everyday watch or more of a collector's piece?
It works well as both. The design is subtle enough for daily wear, while the Bond anniversary details add collector appeal. Many owners wear it regularly rather than saving it only for special occasions.
