路From Omega's website: "007 has worn a Seamaster since 1995." So I looked it up and there's no Omega in the movie. Lazenby wears a Rolex 6238. So Omega's now making LE watches to highlight anniversaries of obscure Bond movies that don't even feature their watches? WTF
Fun fact, Timothy Dalton's Bond wore a Heuer 1000. 馃榾

路Yes that鈥檚 an epic Heuer, and demands quite a premium over other models of the 1000.
It鈥檚 a smart move on behalf of Omega in any case. They鈥檙e basically claiming the (history of the) Bond watch and will get away with it for the most part.

路Of course most of the buying public will have no clue and be sucked into the hype.

路Thanks, can鈥檛 see it but that鈥檚 probably the way the pictures lit.
It only shows up when the lume is glowing.

Still doesn't explain the 12. Is it supposed to be film stock?

Nope, something to do with the Bond family crest.

路So I tried the Apollo on this morning and it's.... okay. Half tempted to review it 'Revolution' style; one paragraph about the moon landings (just in case anybody missed it) one paragraph about the Speedmaster II then two paragraphs about the watch where I quote word for word Omega's press release with all the 'impressive' technical specs.馃槈

Breitling relaunching the Avenger, I am surprised, I thought they were getting rid of all the cool stuff and concentrating on being 'retro'...
Still got the winged logo I notice, is this going to be a Heuer/TAG Heuer type situation do you think?
Over to you Jim Dollares.

Over to you Jim Dollares.
About the new Avenger and Superocean lines worth knowing though:
1. crappier casebacks with less finish/details
2. Increased prices
3 Schneider logo no longer in white gold, now in cheap ass brass instead
4. Deployant clasps for rubber straps has decreased finish and feeling. The since long famous superb premium feeling of those clasps has now changed to a product that feels obviously cheaper to handle.
To summarize: less premium and cheaper to produce combined with higher prices! Jeeeej...

路What do you guys think about these LE Fortis Fliegers: I am very tempted to buy a Daydate, because they have such an authentic background:
