Omega has released a long run of James Bond limited editions over the years, watches built to celebrate the 007 partnership that were never actually worn in a movie. Not all of them land. Three of them genuinely do, and here's why.
AI disclosure: the Seamaster 300 Spectre photography in this post was generated from real reference images to illustrate the limited edition's design and is not a photograph of a physical piece sold by 5D Watches. The Planet Ocean 600M Skyfall photos are real, supplied directly by 5D Watches. The video below is a real 5D Watches original.
TL;DR
- Planet Ocean 600M Skyfall (ref 232.30.42.21.01.004): 5,007 pieces, usually $6,000 to $7,800 used
- Seamaster 300 Spectre (ref 233.32.41.21.01.001): 7,007 pieces, one of the few Bond LEs trading above original retail, usually $10,000 to $12,000 used
- Diver 300M OHMSS 50th Anniversary (ref 210.22.42.20.01.004): 7,007 pieces, usually $7,500 to $10,000 used
- None of the three were worn on screen; all three are tied to a film or franchise anniversary rather than a specific scene
1. Planet Ocean 600M Skyfall
The Planet Ocean 600M Skyfall carries a small 007 logo at the 7 o'clock position on its matt structured black dial, a detail easy to miss until you know to look for it. It is a genuinely personal pick for a lot of Omega fans for the same reason it's ours: for plenty of collectors it was the first Omega, and the first Swiss luxury watch, that actually got them into the hobby.

| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reference | 232.30.42.21.01.004 |
| Case | 42mm steel, matt black ceramic bezel |
| Limited to | 5,007 pieces |
| Used price range | $6,000 to $7,800 |
The caseback is where the Skyfall edition actually proves itself: engraved and individually numbered out of 5,007.
2. Seamaster 300 Spectre
The Seamaster 300 Spectre is the quiet outlier on this list: it's one of the few Bond limited editions that has actually traded above its original retail price on the used market. The lollipop central seconds hand and the striped NATO strap, engraved with a small 007 gun logo, give it a vintage-military read that the rest of the modern Bond lineup doesn't really chase.

| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reference | 233.32.41.21.01.001 |
| Case | 41mm steel |
| Limited to | 7,007 pieces |
| Used price range | $10,000 to $12,000 |
3. Diver 300M On Her Majesty's Secret Service 50th Anniversary
The Diver 300M OHMSS 50th Anniversary hides the best detail of the three. A laser-engraved gun barrel motif covers the dial, and on the 7th of every month the number 7 on the date wheel displays in the actual 007 font. There's a second hidden detail too: a concealed "50" at the 10 o'clock marker, invisible in daylight and only readable in the lume after dark.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Reference | 210.22.42.20.01.004 |
| Case | 42mm steel, black ceramic dial and bezel |
| Limited to | 7,007 pieces |
| Used price range | $7,500 to $10,000 |
None of these three ever touched a film set. That's exactly what makes them collectible on their own terms instead of as a prop replica.
Why These Three, Specifically
Omega has made plenty of Bond tie-in limited editions that never see a script either, and most of them are forgettable: a case-back engraving and a NATO strap do not make a collectible on their own. What separates the Skyfall, Spectre, and OHMSS 50th from the rest of the pack is that each one hides a real design detail worth finding, the 007 logo tucked into the dial, the lollipop hand borrowed from vintage military divers, the lume-only "50." They reward a second look, which is the actual test of whether a limited edition is worth owning past the day you buy it.
FAQ
Were any of these three watches worn in a James Bond film?
No. All three are tie-in limited editions released around a film or franchise anniversary, but none were worn on screen by an actor.
Which of the three is the rarest?
The Planet Ocean 600M Skyfall, limited to 5,007 pieces, versus 7,007 each for the Spectre and the OHMSS 50th Anniversary.
Which one holds value best on the pre-owned market?
The Seamaster 300 Spectre is the standout: it is one of the few Bond limited editions that regularly trades above its original retail price.
What does the hidden "50" on the OHMSS 50th Anniversary look like?
It's a concealed numeral at the 10 o'clock marker that is invisible in daylight and only becomes legible in the Super-LumiNova glow after dark.
Are these watches easy to find pre-owned?
All three show up on the secondary market regularly, but condition and box-and-papers completeness vary widely, so verify authenticity and full-set status before buying.
