Catalogue Essay
Pierce Brosnan brought a suave and sophisticated charm to the role of James Bond, first stepping into the iconic shoes of the British spy in 1995. His portrayal revitalized the franchise during the 1990s, seamlessly blending modern sensibilities with classic Bond traits—wit, elegance, and a flair for action. Brosnan starred in four films: GoldenEye (1995), Tomorrow Never Dies* (1997), The World Is Not Enough (1999) and Die Another Day (2002), all while exuding a charismatic presence that resonated deeply with audiences. His ability to balance charm and intensity made him a memorable Bond, leaving a lasting impact on the series and cultivating a dedicated fanbase.

Omega has been intricately linked with the James Bond franchise since 1995, when Brosnan first donned an Omega Seamaster in GoldenEye. The partnership between the Swiss watchmaker and the iconic spy has flourished, with Bond sporting various Omega models throughout his adventures, perfectly complementing Bond's sophisticated image.

However, the present watch is not the Seamaster featured in the films. As Omega’s ambassador since 1997, Brosnan supported the launch of the new Dynamic collection on June 21, 1997, at the Omega Pavilion in London. This watch was worn at the event and features the engraving “To our 007 from Omega 1997” on the caseback, commemorating this significant event. Two years later, in support of a charity auction, Brosnan donated this watch to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Preserved in excellent condition, the watch comes with a presentation case and the auction catalogue from 1999. The caseback engraving remains crisp and clear, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire one of James Bond’s personal watches—a true piece of cinematic history.

Swiss | 1848
Omega's rich history begins with its founder, Louis Brandt, who established the firm in 1848 in La Chaux de Fonds. In 1903, the company changed its name to Omega, becoming the only watch brand in history to have been named after one its own movements. A full-fledged manufacturer of highly accurate, affordable and reliable watches, its sterling reputation enabled them to be chosen as the first watch company to time the Olympic Games beginning in 1932. Its continued focus on precision and reliability ultimately led their Speedmaster chronograph wristwatch to be chosen by NASA in 1965 — the first watch worn on the moon.Key models sought-after by collectors include their first, oversized water-resistant chronograph — the reference 2077, early Speedmaster models such as the CK 2915 and 2998, military-issued versions of the Seamaster and oversized chronometer models such as those fitted with their prestigious caliber 30T2Rg.
