The OMEGA Seamaster 300M OHMSS 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Watch celebrates the golden anniversary of “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” arguably the most emotionally resonant James Bond film and a pivotal moment in the franchise’s history. Limited to 7,007 pieces worldwide, this exceptional 42mm timepiece features a spiral brushed black ceramic dial laser engraved with the iconic gun barrel design, its centre measuring exactly 9mm to match the diameter of bullets from Bond’s famous Walther PPK. The sophisticated combination of stainless steel with 18K yellow gold accents creates a luxurious interpretation of the classic Seamaster 300M that honours both the film’s dramatic narrative and its enduring cultural impact.
At the heart of this commemorative timepiece beats the Master Co-Axial Calibre 8800, certified to withstand magnetic fields exceeding 15,000 gauss while maintaining chronometric precision between 0 and +5 seconds daily. The watch arrives in an exclusive presentation box containing both the fitted black rubber strap and an additional stainless steel bracelet, allowing owners to choose between sporty and elegant presentations. Hidden details throughout the design reward close examination, from the secret “50” in the 10 o’clock luminescent marker to the Bond family coat of arms metallised on the inner caseback, creating layers of meaning that true Bond enthusiasts will treasure.

“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” holds unique significance within the Bond canon as the film where 007 experiences genuine love and devastating loss, transforming the character from invulnerable super spy to vulnerable human being. Released in 1969 with George Lazenby in his sole appearance as Bond, the film featured Diana Rigg as Tracy di Vicenzo, the woman who becomes Mrs. James Bond in a ceremony that ends in tragedy. The emotional depth and stunning cinematography, particularly the Swiss Alpine sequences, established OHMSS as the most romantic and arguably most human of all Bond films.
The film’s significance extends to the Bond-OMEGA relationship, as it represents the era immediately before the franchise’s product placement evolved. The choice to commemorate OHMSS’s 50th anniversary demonstrates OMEGA’s understanding that certain Bond films transcend entertainment to become cultural touchstones. The watch’s design elements directly reference key plot points: the gun barrel motif connects to the film’s action sequences, while “We Have All The Time In The World” recalls the poignant Louis Armstrong song that underscores both the romance and tragedy.
The limited production of 7,007 pieces strikes an optimal balance between exclusivity and accessibility, allowing serious collectors worldwide to obtain this significant anniversary piece while ensuring long term scarcity. The multiple variations created for this anniversary including ultra rare platinum versions demonstrate OMEGA’s commitment to offering different levels of exclusivity while this stainless steel version remains the most attainable entry point to this important commemoration.
“On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” represents the most emotionally complex and cinematically ambitious entry in the early Bond series, featuring the only time James Bond marries and experiences profound personal loss. The film’s narrative depth, exploring Bond’s vulnerability and capacity for genuine love, elevated it beyond typical action entertainment into something approaching tragic drama. Diana Rigg’s Tracy remains the most fully developed female character in classic Bond films, creating a relationship that feels authentic rather than superficial.
The film’s technical achievements, including revolutionary skiing cinematography and Piz Gloria location work, established new standards for action filmmaking that influenced decades of subsequent productions. Despite initial mixed reception due to Lazenby’s single appearance, OHMSS has undergone critical reappraisal to become recognised as potentially the finest Bond film. This combination of emotional resonance, technical innovation, and growing appreciation made the 50th anniversary particularly worthy of horological commemoration through a timepiece incorporating meaningful design references.
The incorporation of multiple hidden elements transforms this anniversary edition from simple commemorative watch into an interactive celebration of Bond mythology that rewards careful examination. The secret “50” within the 10 o’clock luminescent material can only be discovered under specific lighting conditions, creating a private connection between owner and watch that casual observers miss. Similarly, the exactly 9mm gun barrel centre provides technical authenticity that knowledgeable collectors appreciate beyond mere aesthetic appeal.
These details demonstrate OMEGA’s understanding that serious collectors value intellectual engagement with their timepieces, seeking stories and connections that transcend basic functionality. The Bond family motto “Orbis Non Sufficit” metallised on the inner caseback provides another layer of meaning, referencing both OHMSS and the later film “The World Is Not Enough.” This attention to meaningful detail rather than superficial decoration creates lasting satisfaction for owners who discover new elements throughout ownership.
The dual strap system acknowledges how versatile wearing preferences enhance a luxury sports watch’s utility, particularly for a James Bond themed timepiece that might transition from casual to formal occasions. The fitted black rubber strap provides immediate sporting character suitable for active wear or casual settings, its lightweight comfort making the watch disappear on the wrist during extended wear. The material choice also references modern military and diving applications where rubber proves superior to leather.
The stainless steel bracelet transforms the watch’s character entirely, creating a more luxurious presence suitable for business or formal wear where rubber might appear too casual. This versatility proves particularly valuable for collectors who prefer minimalist collections, as one watch effectively serves multiple roles. The inclusion of both options in the original packaging adds significant value compared to purchasing additional straps separately, while ensuring both attachments maintain factory quality standards.
OMEGA created multiple variants of the OHMSS anniversary watch to serve different collector segments, with the stainless steel version representing the most accessible entry point at 7,007 pieces. The yellow gold variant offered increased luxury with warmer tones complementing the gold accents, while the platinum-gold version combined ultimate precious metal prestige with extreme rarity. The Neiman Marcus platinum edition’s seven piece production created instant collectibility for those able to secure allocation.
Each variant maintained the core design elements gun barrel dial, hidden details, and meaningful engravings while the precious metal versions commanded significantly higher prices reflecting material costs and exclusivity. The stainless steel version arguably offers the best value proposition, providing all the meaningful design elements and full story connection at a price point accessible to serious enthusiasts rather than just ultra high net worth collectors. This democratisation of the anniversary celebration aligns with Bond’s broad cultural appeal.
Master Chronometer certification through METAS provides comprehensive performance validation that extends far beyond traditional chronometer testing, ensuring this commemorative piece delivers reliable daily timekeeping rather than serving as a mere collectible. The magnetic resistance to 15,000 gauss proves particularly relevant in modern environments filled with electronic devices, from smartphones and tablets to security scanners and medical equipment that would magnetise traditional movements.
The guaranteed precision between 0 and +5 seconds daily means the watch maintains exceptional accuracy whether worn continuously or occasionally, important for limited editions that might see intermittent use. The certification process also verifies water resistance and power reserve duration, providing confidence that all aspects of the watch perform to stated specifications. This comprehensive testing creates peace of mind for wearing a limited edition in real world conditions rather than relegating it to safe storage.
The exclusive presentation box created for the OHMSS anniversary edition elevates the unboxing experience beyond standard Seamaster packaging, creating a ceremonial reveal appropriate for such a significant limited edition. The box design typically incorporates anniversary branding and special materials that distinguish it from regular production packaging, adding to the collectible nature of a complete set. The interior configuration accommodates both the watch and additional bracelet securely, preventing damage during storage or transport.
Beyond protective functionality, the presentation box serves as long term storage for documentation and serves as a display piece in its own right. For collectors who maintain complete sets, the anniversary specific packaging significantly enhances value compared to watch only examples. The box design often includes subtle references to the film or anniversary theme, creating cohesive storytelling from outer packaging through to the watch’s hidden details. This attention to the complete ownership experience demonstrates OMEGA’s understanding of what makes limited editions truly special.
