It is a very nice strap, but then again, with a list price upwards of $150 USD, it has to be really good. Unlike the Bathyscape nato, the Omega strap is soft and pliable right out of the box, requiring no force to fold the tail back into the keeper. Much like the premium nato on the Blancpain Bathyscaphe, the Omega nato features high quality brushed and signed hardware. I have a similar grey-black nato on my Omega Seamaster 2254, but aside from function and color, this is little comparison between my $15 strap and the one that comes mounted to the Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre Limited Edition James Bond watch. The nato works beautifully for the case and dial and the grey tones match up nicely with the warm coloring of the faux-vintage lume on the markers and hands. In person, the Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre Limited Edition James Bond watch feels a lot like the standard Omega Seamaster 300 save for the included grey and black striped nato strap – the same Daniel Craig is purported to wear in Spectre. While I prefer the original logo and “12” marker, the lollipop seconds hand looks really cool.įunctionality is the same as the Seamaster 300, with the Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre Limited Edition rocking Omega’s Master Co-Axial 8400, 300m water resistance with a screw down crown, and a domed sapphire crystal with an internal anti-reflective coating. The Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre Limited Edition also hosts a larger logo, brand, and model indication on the dial and deletes the “12” marker seen on the standard Omega Seamaster 300. The other changes are on the dial where the stock spear-tipped seconds hand has been swapped for a lollipop hand that appears nearly white in most light. Twelve-hour bezels are seeing something of a comeback, and I couldn’t be more supportive of this trend it’s a useful “complication” that doesn’t add any specific cost or complexity to a sports watch. The ceramic bezel uses a Liquidmetal scale, and its functionality is uncomplicated, simple, and rather powerful, not unlike Bond. While I think the dive bezel of the standard model is more appropriate for a Seamaster, the 12-hour bezel perfectly matches the ethos of Bond, who travels far more than he dives. The bezel is the functional change for the limited edition, where Omega has opted for a bi-directional 12-hour bezel.
