Fraser Hart takes on Bond

Luxury jeweller Fraser Hart in Drake Mall, Plymouth, has more than enough style to take on James Bond – and share the limelight with the British spy in his latest outing as 007.

Spectre’s premiere was the springboard for Omega to launch its limited Bond edition watches.

Omega and the iconic 007 character have long associations: James Bond has worn an Omega watch since Pierce Brosnan embodied him in GoldenEye in 1995.

In the 24th film Spectre, Daniel Craig’s portrayal shows him wearing the distinctive Omega Seamaster 300.

Fraser Hart has been selected to offer the limited edition Omega Seamaster 300, as well as a commemorative limited edition Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra.

There are only 7,007 Seamaster 300 world-wide, retailing at £4,785, and 15,007 Seamaster Aqua Terra, retailing at £4,630.

The watch, which Bond wears in the latest film, was created in homage to the original Seamaster 300 and dates back to 1957. It has a vintage look and feel while using modern technologies.

There are one or two extra features added for its inclusion in Spectre, but no overt Bond references on the dial. The strap holder, however, carries the 007 logo.

Meanwhile, the dressier Aqua Terra has an exclusive blue dial and a motif based on Bond’s coat of arms. That feature has also been subtly added to the counterweight of the second hand.

And, to thrill any Bond enthusiast, the rotating weight which winds the watch has been crafted to resemble a gun barrel with a bullet at its centre.
