Omega released a six-watch Bond and Spectre collection on October 5. The two separately sold steel editions share calibre 8806 and a brushed mesh bracelet, but one has a blue wave dial and titanium bezel while the other has a black grained dial and ceramic bezel.

Reported U.S. pricing for the steel versions is $8,600 each. The collector sets pair steel and platinum-gold pieces, are limited to 77 sets per side and are reported at $89,800. They are a different proposition entirely.

The mechanics are familiar; the design and collecting story are the draw. For an existing Seamaster owner, compare the dial finishing and bezel material before deciding whether this is distinctive enough.

Action: browse Omega’s official photographs and compare the Bond and Spectre steel references side by side.
