Omega respond to mystery Daniel Craig Seamaster
Zach BlassOnce again, actor Daniel Craig is strategically leaking a new Omega on behalf of the brand, wearing what appears to be a new black wave dial Seamaster on a mesh bracelet, without a date complication.
At first glance, when I saw the photos of Craig at the Paris Olympics, I just assumed he was wearing the Seamaster 60 Years of Bond . It would make sense for the former James Bond actor to wear the spy’s signature model.
On closer inspection, it becomes pretty evident that the watch Daniel Craig is wearing has a black dial and bezel. And with an official response now provided by Omega, we know for a fact it’s a new watch. We can all be forgiven for thinking it was the steel 60 Years of Bond Edition – without a provided technical sheet or press release, on the surface they appear to be nearly identical given the white metal case, mesh bracelet, wave dial, and no date. So, what do we know for sure?
Omega confirmed in its statement, “Watch fans might also have spotted a new Omega watch on Daniel’s wrist. The details of the timepiece will be revealed later this year, but for now, the first pictures give a sneak peek of what can be expected.”

This marks the second time Craig’s wrist has been leveraged to strategically leak and generate buzz around an Omega watch. He once wore the now-available Omega Speedmaster with a white lacquered dial at a Planet Omega exhibition long ahead of its launch, and the watch world was buzzing with excitement trying to determine what it was for months.
