Lot Essay
The OMEGA Aqua Terra 150m worn by Daniel Craig in the opening sequence set of No Time To Die (2021) in Matera, Italy, is a striking watch with a blue dial that recalls OMEGA's rich maritime heritage and James Bond's naval background. Omega supplied five working Aqua Terra watches for the film's production and this watch is one of those worn by Daniel Craig during the scenes filmed in Matera.
OMEGA watches have been worn on the wrist of James Bond since 1995. Lindy Hemming, the Oscar-winning costume designer, who was responsible for casting 007’s watch in GoldenEye, said, "I was convinced that Commander Bond, a naval man, a diver and a discreet gentleman of the world would wear the Seamaster with the blue dial."
