NEW – At Christie’s auction house in London, the two Omegas that were worn by the actor in the most recent 007 adventures set a record for the highest price ever paid at auction.
When it comes to determining an item’s worth, watch collectors almost universally agree that the piece’s history and condition are equally as important as the brand and model of the watch itself. However, is it possible for us to arrive at a reasonable estimation of the worth of the two Omega watches that Daniel Craig wore in the movie “Dying Can Wait”? Watching the final moments of 007’s mission on the big screen, as well as the person portraying James Bond
Christie’s London is planning a massive auction for charity this fall that will be dedicated to James Bond filming artifacts.

As a result, lot 14 was one of the timepieces that 007 wore on his wrist during his final exploits and while he was being killed. In addition, the steel Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra watch that the actor wore during the film was put up for auction. The auction company Christie’s has very accurately estimated the value of each piece to be around about 20,000 euros. The bidding did not end there, of course, for these two items that are typically available for purchase in stores, but which were worn by Daniel Craig in major motion pictures. Two artifacts that will indelibly be a part of the legend surrounding the 007 series.

The price of the Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition watch has risen to 25.6000 euros. This military-inspired titanium Omega watch with a streamlined design and a mesh band that was built with the actor’s participation is going for a crazy amount of money. The money made from the sale is going to be sent to the organization known as Time’s up UK. The watch worn by James Bond, a Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial crafted from stainless steel and with a dial colored metallic blue, sold for 13,500 euros at auction. A monetary amount will be contributed in its entirety to the Orbis association. These two watches, which are now one of a kind as a result of their participation in the 007 sagas, will be presented to their new owners in a bespoke case along with a certificate that has been signed by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, the producers of the James Bond franchise, as well as Raynald Aeschlimann, the president of Omega, and actor Daniel Craig himself.
The online auction of these 007 set items will continue until James Bond Day on October 5, with additional 35 bundles spanning all 25 films including posters, props, costumes, memorabilia, and experiences. James Bond Day is on October 5.
