Would I trade this magnificent Omega Seamaster 300M 007 No Time To Die in titanium with its delicious chocolate dial and beige indexes for a Rolex Submariner? I think I can bet that I wouldn't! A watch with a slightly excessive retail price that had made me give up on buying it in advance... But you should never say never! A great opportunity presents itself, and it's a second-hand purchase from a trusted person that I'm really excited about today. Do I go diving with it? Will I ever need the helium valve? To these two questions, I would answer "no more than I have the right to kill!" Because although it is, in my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful watches linked to the history of 007, this beautiful diver will only accompany me to the office, and it will only know the depth of my thoughts! This watch is meant to be unique from a vast mass of divers with black dials, black bezels and white indexes (which remain beautiful by the way). But I like the fact that it stands out with its material and colors. A choice that I do not regret at all, a sublime watch mounted on its titanium bracelet, and which does not lose its character once mounted on its original nato bracelet from the film No Time To Die. A success (although a catalog price that stings), thank you Omega. A detail for watch nerds like me: the colors of this watch in the dark with the phosphorescent material are unmatched! The rendering is just exceptional, and the power of the phosphorescent material has nothing to envy to the reputation of Panerai in this field! A little personal pleasure when you put yourself in the dark... Come on, to remain as objective as possible, we can still blame it for the significant thickness at the level of the folding clasp with a titanium bracelet that forms a small steak under the wrist (2 layers of bracelet and 1 layer of buckle). We had to find a fault with this watch! Finally, the lightness of titanium can put some people off... You either like it or you don't... It's up to each person. Materials are my thing. I like to have multiple types of cases in my collection. And the lightness doesn't bother me at all!

The 1995 Seamaster Professional 300M Chronometer (36mm) features a classic and elegant style reminiscent of the one worn by Pierce Brosnan in the James Bond film GoldenEye. Unlike the latter, my Seamaster is powered by an Omega 1120 automatic caliber, making it a versatile sports watch perfectly suited to any kind of adventure, whether underwater or in the office.

A watch whose reputation is well established, with contained measurements (36mm - 12mm - 18mm) all managed by a COSC-certified ETA 2892-A2 / Omega 1120 movement. A detail that touches me is the ability of this watch to be worn in several situations, with its steel bracelet, the rubber bracelet and the NATO. Basically, it's my summer watch, from the time of the first Bond films but with a different bezel color. What more could you ask for?

This is one of the first watches that struck me when I started to get interested in watches with its extremely changing blue dial with the lighting, its inimitable case style with the lyre lugs, the helium valve and its polished insert typical of the 90s which makes it inimitable. It would have been designed to my knowledge first for the Japanese market, already screaming at the time of vintage-inspired watches. It is therefore the case common to the Bond Seamaster but with a rather unique dial with the wave pattern, in an electric blue enamel finish which has a certain charm. It has the sword hands of the black 2254.80, the watch worn by the navigator Peter Blake at that time and the big triangle indices at 12 o'clock (affectionately called the pizza slice) inspired by the Seamaster supplied to the British army in the 70s. An explosive combo and a thinness of only 11.6 mm that really makes it halfway between the waterproof dress watch of the early Seamaster and the tool diver that this series has subsequently become. A bit like its direct competitor from the 1990s, the Submariner pre ceramic, the 2255.80 is as comfortable under a shirt as over a diving suit. The bracelet shared with the Speedmaster 1861 is much stronger than a Rolex Oyster of the time, but has for me the only flaw of this watch, the lack of micro adjustment to the buckle ... Problem that can be solved by a more recent Seamaster buckle adaptable, but which loses the finesse of that of this first generation. Or the other solution that I chose of the aftermarket bracelet like from Forstner to vary the pleasures. Last point, the movement is ETA 2892 top grade slightly modified for Omega, a standard of the time reliable and repairable without any worries which allows as a bonus the finesse of the case that the current Seamasters have lost.
