Ian Fleming’s fictional character James Bond went from Rolex to Omega watches, since the time Pierce Brosnan revived the role of double-o seven in “GoldenEye”, back in 1995. There have been six more titles added on to the 007 franchise since then, totalizing 24 Bonds flicks. Even Pierce Brosnan gave way to actor Daniel Craig, just like Sean Connery gave way to Roger Moore. But this is the first actual “as-seen-in-movie” model watch to be made available for purchase. Unlike the typical marketing plot of issuing homage timepieces as movie souvenirs for the more loyal fans. This time around Omega has made the exact watch we can see Daniel Craig wearing on his wrist available to the public, in a limited edition number of 7,007.

The Omega Museum collection began to be released in the 2000’s, although by looking at them an untrained eye would guess they’re the real 1930’s and 1940’s vintage pieces they are mimicking. The collection consists of four unique timepieces with collectors and antique-buffs in mind. And EiT just happened to come across two of those models.

Early Morning.
Watch, journal & pen. Foldable sunglasses in the background. The Smythson Journal has become indispensable. Leather-bound with wafer thin blue pages that take the ink from a fountain pen without blotting. It was given to me as a birthday present last year by a good friend. Today it is filled with scribbles and sketches and I am still writing in it..over a year later. Fits in the back pocket of my jeans with my wallet. I have come to really enjoy the Jaeger-LeCoultre Squadra Reverso. Continue reading “Le Weekend – A Photo Essay” »

Omega Speedmaster ’57 began as a reissue with the original stainless steel bezel, straight lugs and no crown-guards polished case just like the early models of the Speedmaster’s, nicknamed: Speedies. But, aside from aesthetical features, this timepiece brought a vintage look with modern technology. It basically just excluded the “broad arrow hands” from its 2013 reissue, which to those who recall the original was one of its most characteristic traits, but the 2015 reissue has added this missing touch.
