Coasting on the popularity of the Seamaster Diver 300M, OMEGA's contemporised version of the legendary model does a delightful take on the original launched in 1993. The current collection generously embraces the Seamaster's famous ocean heritage and updates it with the brand's most advanced innovation and design. The 42 mm model is crafted in OMEGA's exclusive Bronze Gold and includes a burgundy oxalic anodised aluminium bezel ring with a diving scale in vintage Super-LumiNova. The dial uses sandblasted black aluminium, which features PVD 18 carat Bronze Gold hands and blackened indexes, all filled with vintage Super-LumiNova. The other markings, including the OMEGA logo, have been transferred in light brown. The watch is presented on a brushed mesh bracelet with clasp, and is driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, which can be seen through the sapphire-crystal caseback. Striking in style, yet subtle in its statement, this is yesterday once more—only a lot more!

Did Omega Just Confirm Aaron Taylor-Johnson As Next James Bond?
Last Updated: After Aaron Taylor-Johnson recently became the face of Omega, many believe it could be the clearest hint that he is the new James Bond. Aaron Taylor-Johnson's appointment as a brand ambassador for Omega has caught the attention of James Bond fans. The British actor, linked to play the next 007, visited watchmakers' headquarters in Biel, Switzerland. The trip made fans curious. Omega has a long history with the Bond films, with both Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig representing the brand in the franchise since 1995. With Taylor-Johnson becoming a face for them, many believe it to be the clearest hint that he is the new British spy. The timing of all this seems too perfect to be a coincidence. The Bullet Train star was first linked to the role back in 2022. At the time, it was mostly just talk and fan guesses. But in early 2023, Puck shared that he met with producer Barbara Broccoli to talk about playing Bond. Even then, no official announcement was made, and everything stayed quiet. Making the announcement on Instagram, Omega wrote, 'OMEGA welcomes Aaron Taylor-Johnson to our watchmaking home in Bienne. The actor and Golden Globe winner stepped into our watchmaking home for an exclusive tour, meeting the watchmakers behind our timepieces." View this post on Instagram A post shared by OMEGA (@omega) As soon as pictures of Aaron Taylor-Johnson visiting the Omega headquarters started circulating online, people started guessing about his future. Many rushed to the comment sections and wondered if this was a sign they were waiting for. Reacting to the collaboration, a user wrote, 'Hello Mr. Bond, we have been expecting you," another shared, 'Do I hear the 007 theme?" An individual asked, 'Is this a hint?" 'This has to be the new James Bond at this point," One more added. Since the new James Bond movie was officially announced after Daniel Craig's announcement, fans are eager to know who will play the famous spy next. Aaron Taylor-Johnson is seen as a strong choice by many, but he's not the only one in the race. Other actors include Theo James, Henry Cavill, James Norton, and Jack Lowden, among others.

Did a brand campaign just accidentally confirm Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the new James Bond? Internet is convinced
Has the new James Bond's identity been leaked accidentally by a watch brand of all things? Social media users sure are convinced. Before you are confused, let's clarify that this is all speculation, but not without a historical precedent and some basis. A new announcement by luxury watch company Omega has sparked speculations about the new Bond actor. This is because Omega is the official partner of the 007 franchise. (Also read: Pierce Brosnan 'tips his hat' to Aaron Taylor-Johnson to be the next James Bond: He has the chops, talent, charisma) Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was recently announced as Omega's new global brand ambassador. The luxury watchmaker, which has been the official timepiece of all James Bond films, took to social media last week and shared pictures of the actor in their office. "OMEGA welcomes Aaron Taylor-Johnson to our watchmaking home in Bienne. The actor and Golden Globe winner stepped into our watchmaking home for an exclusive tour, meeting the watchmakers behind our timepieces," the caption read. A post shared by OMEGA (@omega) The comments section was immediately filled with people wondering if he is the new Bond, too. "Bro has to be the new James Bond at this point," suggested one. "Do I hear the 007 theme?" added another. One comment simply read: "Is this a hint?" But while the comments were only wild speculations, some eagle-eyed internet sleuths added some basis to the theory. In the past, both Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan were global brand ambassadors of Omega. Interestingly, both actors were brought on board months before they were announced as the new James Bond - Craig in 2005, ahead of Casino Royale and Brosnan in 1994, ahead of GoldenEye. Many noted that neither actor was publicly announced as brand ambassadors until they were announced as the new Bond, though. Others countered that those signings happened before the age of social media. So far, there has been no official update from Amazon MGM Studios, the new custodian of the Bond franchise, about who will take over from Daniel Craig as the new 007. The 34-year-old Aaron is an English actor, best known for playing Kick-Ass in the film of the same name as well as appearing as Pietro Maximoff in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He started as a child actor, appearing in films like Shanghai Knights, before finding fame with his portrayal of John Lennon in the biopic Nowhere Boy. A Golden Globe winner for Nocturnal Animals, he has appeared in big-budget films like Tenet (2020), Bullet Train (2022) and The Fall Guy, and Nosferatu (both 2024). In 2024, it was reported that Aaron is among the frontrunners for the new Bond, but it was never confirmed by the actor or the studio. Daniel Craig stepped down as James Bond after No Time To Die, the 2021 blockbuster. Since then, the franchise has been in a state of flux. Earlier this year, in a move that sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, the iconic film franchise was taken over by Amazon MGM Studios. Longtime producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli stepped back. As per details of the historic agreement, Amazon MGM Studios, Michael and Barbara have formed a new joint venture to house the James Bond intellectual property rights. The three parties will remain co-owners of the iconic franchise, but Amazon MGM will have creative control. Now, Amazon will decide which actor will take over the famous character. There is still no time frame for when that will happen or when the next film will be made. The Bond films were launched by Albert "Cubby" Broccoli in 1962, before his daughter and stepson took over. Amazon MGM Studios was formed when Amazon bought Bond's parent studio in 2022. So far, Eon's series has seen 6 actors play James Bond in 25 films - Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and Daniel Craig.
