Omega has published several beautiful Seamaster watches for 007 James Bond, they are selling very well, especially their replicas, are very popular. It is my first time to buy a homage watch of Omega Seamaster 007, this Octopus looks like a homage watch of the Seamaster No Time to Die 007 watch, the watch has a stainless steel case not titanium made, also with a very nato band that is very similar to the one on Seamaster No Time to Die, I like this watch, its case shape, the color on the bezel and dial exactly matches that on the nato band. I received the watch in a small Octopus box, which is a cloth box with sponge inside protecting the watch, I think Octopus could design and make a more high-end wooden box. I see many homage watches coming from Octopus have high prices than the watches made by other homage brands, so a better brand wooden box will make your brand more popular.
The case of the watch is made with 316L stainless steel, it has a 42mm diameter and is measured to be 11mm in thickness, while 13.5mm if the crystal included. The case is a classic Seamaster shape of Omega, I can not say it is exactly the same, but you will immediately recognize when see it. I found the tortile lugs have been brushed on the face and polished on the other side, this detailed finish brings the wearer a high contrast visual effect. The bezel uses a black ceramic insert with engraved markers in the same depth, those markers are also applied with lume material like the hour markers and hands.
I love the dial, the lume material used on the hour markers and hands has the same color as the dial lettering “AUTOMATIC” and brand logo. The dial has a good readability under a clear sapphire crystal, each hour marker is big and the central sword-shaped hands are wide, so they can be applied with more lume to guarantee a strong and long-lasting lume light in the dark. The second hand has a red tip and a Octopus logo on the other end. This is a very classic diver’s watch dial, men love diving watches can not refuse its beauty.
The black/gray nylon band, I love this band, and this style of nato band is also used on another Omega 007 watch, that is Seamaster Spectre. Octopus also offers the stainless steel mesh bracelet for this watch, but the nato band looks better on the watch I think. At last, the watch is equipped with a PT5000 automatic movement, this movement has a good reputation in Chinese watch industry, its accuracy and stability are acceptable.
