Tell Time Like James Bond With the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra

James Bond is back. Spectre opens in theaters on November 6, and with it comes a number of 007-inspired collaborations, including the new Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M watch that he wears in the film. It’s undoubtedly one of the coolest timepieces on the market right now. What does the watch that Bond uses to tell time look like? Omega found inspiration in the Bond family coat of arms, which was turned into a pattern on the blue PVD dial and near the tip of the second hand.

Unveiled at Baselworld 2015 and crafted in stainless steel, the watch consists of a blue dial with yellow accents. In our opinion the best part of the watch is only known to the viewer. It’s a transparent caseback that features a skeletonized oscillating weight that looks like an image we all associate with Bond: a gun barrel. It’s also resistant to magnetic fields greater than 15,007 gauss, which Bond may find useful in the event that a giant magnet is trying to tie him down. It looks good, tells time with exact precision, and can resist magnetic fields. How’s that for a James Bond-endorsed watch?

You have a favorite James Bond, but do you have a favorite Bond watch?
Daniel Craig as James Bond in Skyfall

James Bond is one of the most iconic menswear idols. He has introduced staples to men’s wardrobes for 60 years, including the tuxedo and the shoe knife. Ok, maybe the second one is not quite a staple as the first, but it was still one we dreamt about since the moment we saw it on screen. However, there is one accessory that James Bond wore in every movie that created an entire industry in and of itself. Every time the British super spy wore a watch, we men rushed out to find their own version to emulate 007.

Of course, after over two dozen movies under his belt, there is a cornucopia of options you can grab. These probably won’t print out a message like a label maker, or laser cut a hole in the bottom of a train, but they will definitely tell the time in the most stylish way and help you feel ready to defend His Majesty’s kingdom. Here are the best watches the spy ever wore.
