    If I remember correctly, she's wearing a 2-tone Constellation on metal bracelet.

    I bought my very lucky wife a constellation stainless my choice, full bar with the black face and diamond markers. A lovely watch and she wears it every day. Never had any problems with it.

    Yes, thank you, I had seen the product description, I just wanted to have a price estimate, not having an Omega boutique available locally.

    The diamond earrings are $3,925 AUD. The plain white gold are $1,750 AUD. These prices are Australian dollars. As I mentioned in my first post prices vary from country to country so a straight conversion into GBP may not be accurate.

    Lea Seydoux is wearing the model with the diamonds as they are much thicker than the non-diamond version.

    Alas no. OMEGA HQ haven't responded to any of my requests about Lea's Constellation or DC's third watch at the end of SPECTRE. But I am persisting!

    I think I found the correct OEM strap for the watch...

    That looks spot on stefan, though the case it appertains to is way off, this means nothing as many vintage watches are re-strapped with different style straps. Good find

    From OMEGA themselves: Lea Seydoux wears the OMEGA Constellation in 27mm White Gold quartz Ref. No. 123.55.27.60.55.012

    Still awaiting confirmation on the vintage piece DC wears.

    So who worn the Rado and Longines in the movie? Also, why is there 2 Bond watches?? Look at the differences in size. :o

    According to the Christie's auction catalogue, M wore the Longines and Hinx wore the Rado.

    They may have made a larger one for close up shots? Just a guess.

    So following on from the third watch discussion, I've decided to do some work on a relatively old and well worn omega de ville I have and haven't worn for ages, it's a coaxial chronometer with the silver face in stainless, has 3 subdials, I've ordered the lizard strap in black as stefan id'd, I'll try post some pics when ive put it together if any one is interested in seeing the mock up?

    The size diff is just a lazy ct and paste error. There are two watches in the auction because one is Jesper Christensen's, an inscribed gift from the producers (you'll recall Bautista was wearing one to events recently).
  • TheOmegaManTheOmegaMan Posts: 43MI6 Agent
    The same OMEGA contact who could confirm Lea Seydoux's Constellation could not give me any details regarding this third watch. They suggested (and this is purely their opinion) that it was DC's own timepiece and as such couldn't even tell us if he was wearing an OMEGA or not in the final DB5 scene of SPECTRE.

    Well, Stefan nailed it as an Omega two pages back (an Omega buckle, a any rate).

    I've just been sent marketing from omega, featuring their new Olympic timekeeper watches, maybe a contender for the spectre third watch, but at over £10K it's a pricey option.

    Interesting. Though would think Omega would have wanted a better in focus shot of it in the movie :)

    My take on the out of focus Omega is that Omega only wanted to market a watch or watches that they currently had in production. They had two special editions for the film, plus newer version of the blue AT. If they cannot offer for sale a watch seen on screen, then why show it. I was in the Omega boutique looking at NATO's and the sales lady joking said if I bought two straps she would throw in the Aqua Terra Spectre Collector's Edtion watch for free. Apparently they still have tons of this watch left. :)) Talk about an epic success and fail by the marketing department with regards to the two special editions where one is sold out and the other they cannot get rid off.

    I've just bought the LE aqua terra, it's a beautiful watch and looks like nothing else. I already had the non le SM300 which I bought before I knew it was in spectre, I'm not sorry I missed out on the spectre le SM300. I don't think a third bond watch would have been a good move as even the two they did was oversaturation,, also marketing another new watch alongside the SM300, le SM300, le spectre aqua terra and the new globemaster would really be overkill. These new Olympic timekeepers are limited editions, all 3 are gold and they are all over 10K, but I reckon in the near future we will see them in steel, with bracelets etc. Omega seem to play their cards very close these days, none of my contacts get wind of these new watches until omega release these marketing mails or unveil at the Basel watch fair.

    Hardly. 8-)

    The Aqua Terra Limited Edition was a massive success worldwide. We sold through our allocation in December last year after SPECTRE had been out for only a few weeks (the SE300 LE sold out before the movie was even released!). There are most definitely not tons of this piece left. Clearly the Boutique you visited either can't sell a beautiful timepiece properly to it's target market or they massively over ordered for their market to begin with. If they still have black/grey NATOs in stock then they obviously have no idea about selling to Bond fans as these are rarer than hens' teeth at the moment elsewhere in the world.

    OMEGA always expected to have stock of this watch to last through to mid 2016 hence the production run of 15,007. Even watches like the Bond 50th Anniversary Seamaster Pro 300 was still available to buy in 2014 nearly two years after it was released and that was limited to 10,007 pieces.

    The Aqua Terra was a beautiful attempt to do something different as the previous two decades worth of Bond Limited Edition watches were just copy/paste jobs of various 300s and Planet Oceans. Plus it was far more subtle than earlier Bond Limited Editions.

    It's a great looking watch which looks incredible on the blue fabric strap that it comes with alongside the bracelet.

    Two beautiful timepieces. Well done.

    OMEGA HQ will not provide any info on the "third" watch worn in SECTRE so it's clearly - as discussed at length in these forums - DC's or the stylist's own vintage piece which OMEGA would gain nothing from promoting alongside the other two.

    Why thank you sir, I'm very impressed with the LE aqua terra, it's a sight to behold.

    What's odd is that Omega did not even make any effort to market the blue master Co-axial AT that Bond clearly wore in the opening part of the movie and then again during the climax in London.. It's a beautiful piece. It wasn't even put up for auction at Christie's..

    A beautiful watch indeed! It was probably in Omega's best interest to only promote one watch rather than into the two (or technically three) watches in the film. Focusing on one watch places a higher demand on that one watch, whereas if they pushed two watches neither one would probably see half the desirability.

    Omega touted the limited edition bond aqua terra with the blue coat of arms face alongside the spectre SM300, but as Matt says the SM300 got most of the limelight and promotion, hence the aqua terra has undersold. Its a beautiful watch and I'm happy to have it over the LE SM300. I know it wasn't used in the film but I believe DC wore it during his johnathan ross interview.

    Exactly the same happened in Skyfall - actually worse! They promoted the watch which was only in the PTS instead of the Aqua Terra that was worn for 90% of the film

    Well, if you guys remember, Omega did promote two watches for a Bond film once and it was for Casino Royale. Bond wore two watches in that one, namely the 45.5mm Planet Ocean on rubber strap and the Omega Seamaster Pro 2220.80. So quite odd that for both Skyfall and Spectre, they only promoted one model as the one worn in the respective film.

    A point to note is that the only time I've seen it mentioned by Omega that Bond wears the Aqua Terra in Skyfall and in Spectre is in the current issue of Omega's Lifetime magazine.
