You may be forgiven for thinking the Railmaster is a watch for those working on the railways, but the timepiece was actually designed for those working close to electrical fields. So much so, that Omega currently sells a 60th anniversary version of each, designed to look very similar to the originals, but with today’s technology inside. Omega’s three most prominent professional watches are the aforementioned Seamaster, the Speedmaster (more on that later) and this, the Railmaster.Īll three were launched in 1957 and have each gone on to become classic timepieces in their own way.

Strap styles are mostly stainless steel, but rubber and fabric NATO options are also available. With their rotating bezel, luminous markers and helium escape valve, these are diving watching in the truest sense of the word. In Spectre, Bond wore a black Master Co-Axial 41mm (opens in new tab) on a black and grey NATO strap, and a steel Master Co-Axial 41.5mm with a blue dial and steel strap. This is also the closest you can get to the watches worn by James Bond through the Pierce Brosnan and Danial Craig years, although he has also taken to wearing a Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial in recent years, plus the dressier Aqua Terra in Skyfall. The most recognisable member of the Seamaster family is the Diver 300m, so called due to its water resistance to 300 metres.
