Not wanting to sound like we’re Bond-obsessed around here (even if we are), but sister site The Wrist Watch Review has posted a timely (arf) review of Bond’s timepiece of choice for the past decade, and we’re too awestruck and envious to let it pass unremarked.

The Omega Seamaster 300M Chrono Diver is a modern icon – beautiful, stylish, rugged and unmistakably cool. It’s a favorite among men who wouldn’t know a scuba tank from a snorkel, it’s equal parts formal and sporty, and it’s extra helium release button has been invaluable to the British MI6, who seem obsessed with hiding incredulous gadgets within.

I’ve opened the case once, like a fool, and it is quite striking. It’s rhodium plated and sparkles in the light. I quickly closed her up, but it was the stuff dreams are made on.

Head on over for the full review, and some very saucy pictures of this $1500 beauty.
