Object description

Case and Dial

The watch is housed in a three-body stainless steel case that is both polished and brushed. It features signature lyre lugs and a unidirectional revolving blue bezel equipped with scalloped edges and a 60-minute scale for decompression timing. A manual gas escape valve is positioned at the 10 o'clock mark, while the crown at 3 o'clock is protected by a guard. The case back is screw-down, engraved with the edition number and branding.

The dial is matte black and features a silvered shutter motif across its surface. It includes applied silvered dot indexes and baton-style quarters, all of which are luminous. The Omega symbol is applied in steel, and the word 'Seamaster' is printed in red at the 12 o'clock position. The hands are skeletonized steel with luminous tips, and the center seconds hand carries a distinctive red-tipped 007 counterpoise.

Evidence for this section
  • “Three-body, solid, polished and brushed, lyre lugs, unidirectional revolving blue bezel with scalloped edges”

Movement and Functionality

The timepiece is powered by the Caliber 2500 movement, a self-winding mechanism featuring 27 jewels. The movement is rhodium-plated and equipped with a co-axial escapement. It uses a free-sprung monometallic balance, a shock absorber, and a self-compensating flat balance spring. This movement provides the watch with its center seconds and date functions.

The caliber 2500 is presented in the source as the specific technology used for this limited edition release. It is described as a professional diver's watch, and the movement construction supports the 300-meter water-resistance rating associated with the model line.

Evidence for this section
  • “M. Cal. 2500, rhodium-plated, 27 jewels, co-axial escapement, free-sprung monometallic balance”
  • “It is the first James Bond limited series of watches using the famous Omega co-axial technology.”

History and Context

This watch, numbered 1 of the 10,007 units produced, was released in 2006 to coincide with the premiere of the James Bond film 'Casino Royale'. It serves as a continuation of the brand's association with the film franchise, which began in 1995 with the release of 'Golden Eye'.

The watch is reported as being in 'as new' condition across all measured components including the case, movement, and dial. It remains an example of the manufacturer's efforts to integrate cinematic themes into their existing professional diver's line.

Evidence for this section
  • “Made in a numbered edition of 10007 examples in 2006, to coincide with the release of the film 'Casino Royale'.”

Open research questions

  • Is the '0001' engraving on the case back consistent with the 'No. 1' designation in the source documents?
  • What is the technical impact of the shutter motif application on the dial's luminosity?
