The game itself is scheduled to release May 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and later on Nintendo Switch 2.
Omega has supplied watches for James Bond since 1995’s GoldenEye, when the Seamaster first appeared on Pierce Brosnan’s wrist.
The “007 First Light” edition stands out for two reasons:
• First Bond watch inspired by a video game rather than a film. Previous Omega Bond watches were tied to specific movies.
• First Seamaster Diver 300M chronograph in the Bond lineup. Chronographs have appeared in Bond stories before, but not within the Diver 300M Bond collection itself.
This makes the model an unusual crossover between gaming, film franchise lore, and traditional Swiss watchmaking.
Omega built the watch on its modern Diver 300M chronograph platform, combining professional dive specs with design cues linked to the game.
Key design elements include:
• 44 mm stainless‑steel case
• Black ceramic dial with chronograph sub‑dials
• Polished black ceramic bezel with white enamel diving scale
• Super‑LumiNova‑coated hands and hour markers for low‑light readability
• Striped NATO strap in brown, grey, and beige with engraved “007” and “First Light” keepers
• Transparent caseback featuring “007 First Light” decoration
These details echo the Bond aesthetic while maintaining the rugged look typical of the Diver 300M collection.
Inside the watch is Omega’s Co‑Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9900, a high‑end automatic chronograph movement.
Key technical specs include:
• Movement: Omega Calibre 9900 automatic chronograph
• Certification: Master Chronometer (METAS)
• Power reserve: approximately 60 hours
• Magnetic resistance: up to 15,000 gauss
• Water resistance: 300 meters
• Functions: central chronograph seconds, 12‑hour and 60‑minute counters, small seconds
The movement uses Omega’s Co‑Axial escapement and silicon balance spring, technologies designed to improve precision, durability, and magnetic resistance.
The watch was unveiled in May 2026 as part of Omega’s continuing James Bond partnership and is not described as a limited edition, meaning it should be available through Omega boutiques and authorized dealers.
For nearly three decades, Omega’s Bond watches have been tied to the cinematic universe of 007. The “007 First Light” release shifts that tradition by linking the watch world to a major video‑game launch instead.
By turning a fictional in‑game gadget into a real luxury diver chronograph, Omega effectively blurred the line between digital storytelling and physical watchmaking — a first for the Bond franchise and a notable experiment in cross‑media product design.
