Eagle-eyed costume designer Lindy Hemming knew that the Seamaster had a long association with the British Royal Navy, and given the Bond character’s origins as an SAS commando, she opted for the watch over a Submariner. Bond’s been an Omega man ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIronically, the first Seamaster worn by Pierce Brosnan’s was not an automatic model like that depicted in this advert, but rather, a quartz-powered Seamaster Professional 300M reference 2541.80. (In 1997’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eTomorrow Never Dies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, the British spy would indeed don an automatic reference 2531.80, and he continues to wear automatic references to this day.) Regardless, this 1990s Omega ad with its vintage-inspired typeface and a killer \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eillustrated throwback look kicked off a collector obsession with the Seamaster that has only grown stronger with each successive Bond film.
