Does anyone know if Omega will sponsor Skyfall and if there will be a new 007 watch?
Rumor had it that Tudor were set to step in as the official watch sponsor........

Of course this is just rumour but it wouldn't surprise me, sort of a merge between the Bond Seamaster and the PO that Daniel Craigs Bond is now known for wearing
1. Seamaster is written in red.
2. The hour and minute hands are more pronounced. The second hand also looks thicker with less orange along its length (I wish they would match this with the "red" seamaster text).
3. The hour markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 are square and not tapered or arrow shaped
4. the numerals (12, 3, 6 and 9) are complete and do not have the gap joining them.
5. The silver ring on the inside of the bezel is much thinner than the older models.
6. It has the new 8500 movement over the older 2500.
7. "Omega" text is no longer printed but also created from the same design and material (gold) as the Omega logo.
My guess is that this is also one of the new cermamic bezels.
The price over the older models is massively increased. Now it seems Omega are really going for Rolex in this market.
The only differences I see
This second hand and squares of
Hours
I thought you would be this:

It is very similar to the ocean planet of Casino Royale and Quantum, but blue and with a difference, but I personally like the 2 I used in Casino Royale.
Anyone believe that the clock on the new stage of Craig / Bond will have any Gadget?.
That link Oscar also is a limited Edition 007 watch so no chance that will feature as they of course don't in the films!!

Although not official yet.
The price, I think it is quite expensive, and if we want a limited edition will be quite more expensive
It is interesting that Omega pulled it from their website...it was there a few weeks ago...thus my conclusion is a major launch with the Bond brand....I would have expected it before Christmas
I read that story on m16, and find it's quote about the black face of the Planet Ocean being worn in QoS being a departure from the usual blue face watches slightly odd...........seeing as he wore a black faced Planet Ocean in Casino Royale - Lazy reseach 8-)
Hi Roi,
That is because you have linked to a pic of the Planet Ocean Liquid Metal - not the older James Bond Planet Ocean. The Liquid Metal came in between these 2 models.
Bond on a Budget
This article reads like the ramblings off a drugged horse.
Although the new BLUE Titanium Planet Ocean may be the new James Bond watch, the article is completely made up.
On the plus side, it probably mens the security on set is very good, saving the film for us until we get to watch it.
I take it that the titanium was $8600 not the blue version in steel? If not prices have really jumped since I talked to Omega a year or so ago. The original limited liquid metal version was the top price point.
Yes it is the Titanium. I dont believe there is a "steel" version.

The FB announcement says it is the new Seamaster Diver Co-Axial 300m, but the press announcement on the Omega website is dated 19th October 2011!
Could this be the new watch for Bond 23?
The answer is we don't really know until an official announcement is made despite what Chinese whispers are doing the rounds.
From what we have seen and heard so far I think we will see 2 Bond watches again in SKYFALL:
The Planet Ocean Blue Face in Titanium (45.5mm):
and one of the new Seamaster Professsionals 300m (Blue or Black Face): I'm guessing the Blue.
