Omega Opens Timeless Adversaries: James Bond and Spectre Exhibition in Glendale
Omega, the Swiss watchmaker that has been associated with James Bond since 1995, has launched a new exhibition at its boutique in Glendale, California. The exhibit, named Timeless Adversaries: James Bond and Spectre, will be open until November 8 and showcases over 20 original props from seven Bond films, including Casino Royale (2006), Skyfall (2012), and No Time to Die (2021). This is the first instance where Omega has merged Bond and Spectre themes. Raynald Aeschlimann, the president and CEO of Omega, highlighted a growing interest in Spectre watches among new clientele. Although Amazon has yet to announce Daniel Craig's successor, Aeschlimann underscored the significance of the exhibition and the new Seamaster editions for the U.S. market.
