Yeah the "62" on the caseback refers to 1962, the year of the first Bond film Dr. No. The remaining numbers simply mimic the format of NATO stock codes.

So far no.. Not that I know of at least. But I'll take stainless steel over titanium any day.

He's our inside man, if he says something about a new release it's because he's talked to the factory directly

Anyone else disappointed the bezel is not ceramic?
Alum bezels always seem to get dings and scratches in them.
Really wish they would have went with a 40 or 41 size case but no doubt I will pre order if VSF is making one.

The bezel is lumed and very good looking as BPFF, pelagos...
VSF confirmed that they will release this model in 2020, looking forward to it

They did it in 42 to remain consistent with their current range SMP models. But yeah, the lack of ceramic bezel is very disappointing. But maybe to keep "cost low" since its already expensive enough as it is with the titanium and the Bond exclusivity and all that. I would imagine adding ceramic would make the price skyrocket even more.. As if it isn't expensive enough already.

It is not about the money. Omeg already has titanium + ceramic + liquidmetal models which cost less than this watch.
Aluminium is here on purpose. The watch has a vintage vibe and Omega wants is to act like this - meaning the dial and bezel will fade off over the time.
Any micro-brand can build a scratch-resistant watch for $600-700, apparently Omega concluded it is no longer cool and went against the trend, which I like.

I think this is exactly the right move (and Omega has made a lot of wrong moves in the past!).
when you look at how people enjoy inheriting timepieces reminding them of people and their lives, this makes a lot of sense.
scratches, dents and everything else that basically leaves a mark on a timepiece, is something that connects people to the life of the timepiece’s initial holder and therefore holds emotional value for them.
Imo this is very desirable and substantially different to what you get out of a watch build for 100% visual conservation.
so watch industry, please bring back materials that make those marks possible..
thanks omega, and now go VSF!

My guess is that they leave it as a non limited edition since Daniel played James Bond for the last time, or what could be the reason for it?
