Object description

Case and Dial Design

The watch is housed in a 41mm stainless steel case designed for professional diving applications, with a depth rating of 300 meters. The aesthetic features a unidirectional rotating bezel equipped with a black ceramic insert, which includes a dive-timing scale with the '50' numeral marked in red. The case architecture incorporates a screw-down crown and a helium escape valve situated at the 10 o'clock position.

The dial is distinguished from the standard Seamaster series by a special repeating '007' motif across its surface, replacing the common wave pattern. Luminescent hour markers are applied to the dial, which is protected by a sapphire crystal. The steel multi-link bracelet is secured with a signed locking clasp, and the watch is designed with diver's expansion links.

Movement and Functionality

The piece is powered by the Omega Co-Axial calibre 2507, an automatic movement that incorporates the brand's proprietary co-axial escapement technology. This movement is a chronometer-certified caliber, designed to maintain accuracy as a professional dive instrument.

The functionality of the watch is tailored for aquatic use, evidenced by the specified 300-meter water resistance and the inclusion of timing scales on the bezel. The movement drives the central hour, minute, and seconds hands, alongside a date display positioned at the 3 o'clock mark on the dial.
