has launched the Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph 007 First Light, a watch that appears in the action-adventure game 007 First Light and exists as a real model on the wrist. The collaboration with and ties the watch’s debut to a game scheduled to hit stores on May 27, 2026.

The watch sits at the center of the game’s missions, where a 26-year-old wears an OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph fitted with a hacking device capable of disrupting electronic equipment and a powerful laser strap. Omega says the new model is the first-ever chronograph in Bond’s Seamaster lineage, and it arrives as both a fictional tool and a tangible product.

The real-world Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph was first released in 2019, and the 007 First Light version keeps the same heavy-duty profile. It measures 44mm across, 17mm thick and almost 53mm from lug to lug, with polished and brushed stainless steel, lyre-shaped lugs, curved crown guards and a conical helium escape valve at 10 o’clock. Black polished ceramic pushers, sapphire crystals on both sides and 300m of water-resistance carry over the dive-watch brief. The unidirectional bezel has a black polished ceramic insert with a 60-minute white enamel diving scale, while the caseback carries a 007 First Light logo in black metallisation on the underside of the glass.

Omega and James Bond have been linked since GoldenEye in 1995, and the brand’s watches have appeared on screen in every Bond film released since then. The 25th Bond film, , led to the military-style Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition. Until now, though, Omega and Bond tie-ins had all been launched in the frame of a movie.

This release changes that by making the watch part of a game world first and a collector’s object second. For Bond, the move pushes the character’s gear into interactive storytelling. For Omega, it gives the Seamaster a rare distinction in the franchise: a chronograph that can be worn in real life and used in the mission on screen, before the game even reaches stores.
