The Seamaster 300 throws a packed punch with its robust casing & striking dial bearing the insignia of Bond, 007, on the keeper of the strap. The timepiece comes housed in a robust stainless steel case with a sleek, black & grey NATO strap- a strap that is made up of Ballistic Nylon, and is also a significance of the original NATO strap worn in Goldfinger & Thunderball. Talking of the machinery prowess, the bond’s accomplice is powered by OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibre 8400, a revolutionary movement that is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. A closer look of the machinery sensation reveals a striking black dial adorned with the rhodium-plated hands with a coating of Super-Luminova – a material that lights up the dial even in sheer darkness and a second’s hand that resembles a ‘lollipop’. Quite similar to its predecessors, the watch, includes a main hour hand & triangular hour markers. Each timepiece has a unique serial number and a ‘SPECTRE’ logo on the case back. A bi-directional rotating bezel, made up of polished Black ceramic adorns its sleek frame. LiquidMetal 12-hour scale ushers the limited edition watch with its alloy technology, which enables people to stay abreast with the timings across the globe.
