    Bond. James Bond. This is one of the most iconic lines in pop culture history by the most aspired secret agent of all time. The reference 2537.80.00 was the first time Omega launched a limited edition series for James Bond movies. It commemorates the 40th Anniversary and the release of Pierce Brosnan’s Bond film Die Another Day. Over the years Omega continues to celebrate the legacy of Bond lifestyle including the last film Spectre (please see lot 812), and the anticipated upcoming release of No Time To Die.

  • Artist Biography

    Omega

    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.
