Seamaster Agent-007 Watch Series
By WatchPro | July 9, 2008
An agent needs a gun. A high-powered car. And certainly a good watch. James Bond has been wearing Omega Seamaster Chronometer since 1995. That year, Pierce Brosnan took over the role of James Bond and began wearing the Omega Seamaster in the movie GoldenEye.
The Seamaster Agent-007 replica watches are similar to that shown in recent James Bond films, in which the valve is transformed into improbable hidden gadgets. They offer the comparable performance, style, and weight Bond would have wanted.
The dial of the replica Seamaster Agent-007 watches is extremely legible thanks to the oversized markers and “sword” hands. The hour markers and hands are luminescent – they are as easily read in darkness or light. The stainless steel bracelet and the white numbers against the black background form a classic combination.
