Omega Enters the Game with the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light”

Introduced in 1948, the Seamaster began as a water-resistant sports watch inspired by military models supplied by Omega during World War II. Over the decades, it evolved into one of the brand’s defining collections, particularly after the launch of the Seamaster Professional Diver 300M in 1993 with its wave-pattern dial, skeletonized hands, and helium escape valve. Just two years later, the Seamaster entered the world of no other than James Bond. Costume designer Lindy Hemming selected the Diver 300M for Pierce Brosnan in GoldenEye (1995), establishing a partnership that has continued through every Bond film since. Now, Omega extends that relationship beyond cinema with the new Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light,” created in connection with the upcoming 007 First Light action-adventure video game.

The game explores Bond’s early career in an original storyline and is scheduled to launch on May 27, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. The watch itself follows the modern Seamaster Diver 300M design language while incorporating several details tied to the “First Light” theme.

Ceramic Case Elements and Familiar Diver 300M Design

The Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light” features a 44mm polished and brushed steel case with a lug-to-lug length of 52.8mm, combined with black ceramic components throughout. Its unidirectional rotating bezel features a polished black ceramic insert with a white enamel diving scale and a luminous marker at 12 o’clock. The black ceramic dial with the “Seamaster” logo in red carries the characteristic laser-engraved wave motif. In accordance with the unmistakable Seamaster playbook, the sub dials contrast thanks to a grooved finish. The  12-hour and 60-minute totalizer at 3 o'clock is executed in a two-tone fashion, combining black and PVD bronze gold. The central chronograph lollipop seconds hand echoes the PVD gold color way. The rhodium-plated skeletonized hands and hour markers are filled with white Superluminova. Like other recent Diver 300M models, the luminescent display uses two colors for orientation in darkness: blue emission for the hour indications and chronograph displays, and green emission for the minute hand and marker on the bezel. 

Additional details include black ceramic chronograph pushers, the signature helium escape valve at 10 o’clock, and a sapphire crystal case back metallized with “007” and “FIRST LIGHT” logos. It show cases Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 9900, an automatic integrated chronograph movement certified by METAS. Decorated with Geneva Waves in arabesque, features a column-wheel chronograph architecture, Co-Axial escapement, resistance to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss, and a 60-hour power reserve thanks to two barrels.

Three Decades of Seamaster and Bond

Omega’s partnership with the Bond franchise has produced some of the brand’s most recognizable modern watches. Pierce Brosnan wore quartz and automatic versions of the Seamaster Professional Diver 300M during his tenure, while Daniel Craig later introduced models such as the Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M in Casino Royale, the blue Seamaster Diver 300M Co-Axial in Skyfall, and the titanium Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition developed for No Time To Die. Before Omega’s long-running association with Bond, earlier actors including Sean Connery and Roger Moore wore watches from Rolex and Seiko in various films.

With the “007 First Light,” Omega brings the Seamaster into a new chapter of the Bond universe, connecting one of watchmaking’s most established movie partnerships with the expanding world of video games. The watch is paired with a black, grey, and beige polyamide NATO strap fitted with a polished and brushed grade 5 titanium buckle, while the strap keepers are engraved with “007” and “FIRST LIGHT.” The Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph “007 First Light” is priced at $9,400, without taxes.
