The Omega Seamaster "Spectre"

LIMITED TO ONLY 7,007 PIECES

Since the 1995 "GoldenEye" movie, the Omega Seamaster has been James Bond's watch. Now, with the latest James Bond Spectre movie just around the corner, Omega introduces the Seamaster 300 "Spectre" Limited Edition.

It has the great looks of the classic Omega Seamaster 300 watch from the 1950s. However, beyond the historical charm of it, this watch bears the Master Co-Axial designation (it is anti-magnetic up to 15,000 Gauss, thanks to the exclusive use of anti-magnetic materials in the escapement.)

There are smaller and bigger differences to the regular version:  Exclusive to the Omega Seamaster 300 "Spectre" Limited Edition is the dial where the 12 o'clock Arabic numeral index has been replaced with a larger Omega Seamaster logo. Also new is the "lollipop" seconds hand that ends in a circle and not in an arrow as seen on the original version.


The most notable change, though, is the 5-stripe black and grey Omega NATO strap, with the 007 gun logo and the Omega logo. Each Omega Seamaster 300 "Spectre" Limited Edition watch will have its own unique serial number, again, out of 7,007, engraved on the back along with the James Bond Spectre film logo.

The price for the Omega Seamaster 300 "Spectre" Limited Edition is 6,300 Swiss Francs.

Miracle Pine Pen

Limited Edition Montblanc Fountain Pen

Luxury marque Montblanc is to sell fountain pens made from a "miracle pine" tree that survived the 2011 tsunami. It was the only tree left standing when a forest of 70,000 was flattened in Rikuzentakata, on Japan's stricken northeastern coast.

When the city finally had to cut down the dying tree, the mayor asked the Japanese unit of the Swiss company to use salvaged wood to make pens to ensure the "disaster remains in people's minds."

Montblanc has made 113 pens -- the figure reflects the 11th of March date of the disaster -- which will go on sale on the fourth anniversary for 520,000 yen ($4,400) each, an official says, with 20 percent of takings being given to the city.
