Excerpt From LuxuryTickers.com Blog:

OMEGA celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of the first James Bond film with the launch of two commemorative limited edition watches, and a press conference at its new Westfield Stratford (England) boutique.

The event was opened by OMEGA president Stephen Urquhart, who welcomed media and guests and talked about his brand’s relationship with the film franchise. He said, “James Bond is unmatched as a cultural icon and we are excited to be celebrating half a century of great adventure films featuring the world’s favorite spy. We are also happy to have the opportunity to display items from every one of those films. I know that the showcase will bring back a lot of cinematic memories.”

Also at the press conference was Lindy Hemming, the Oscar-winning costume designer who chose the OMEGA Seamaster as 007’s watch in GoldenEye in 1995. Asked about her selection of the OMEGA Seamaster with the blue dial, she said “I was convinced that Commander Bond, a Naval man, a diver, and a discreet gentleman of the world would wear this watch as opposed to the one everyone expected me to use.“  She added, “I had also known contemporaries when I was in my twenties who were military and naval, and some who worked in field of energy and electricity, who all swore by their Omegas. Therefore, as one of the early tasks in designing the new Bond, Pierce Brosnan, I went to a props and hand props meeting and argued for the use of Omega, which I had of course first investigated to make sure they would be interested in placing their watches on Bond!”
