Turning Down One Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars to Play 007? Yet You Can't Turn Down This Omega Seamaster

　　The international influence of the Bond film series is evident, yet Daniel Craig, who has starred in several films, has expressed his reluctance to continue playing Bond, stating that he is truly exhausted! There are even rumours circulating about a one hundred and fifty million US dollar offer to renew his contract for the next two Bond films. One must wonder how resistant he feels to reject such an enticing offer.

　　Even though Craig turned down this astronomical pay cheque, he could not resist the timepiece that has accompanied him, and indeed the Bond series as a whole:the Omega Seamaster watch. Yes, although the price is negligible compared to the one hundred and fifty million dollar fee, Craig, or rather Bond, simply loves it. It can be said to be a hallmark of the Bond film series; without this Omega Seamaster watch, the film might not feel as complete, as if it has become a representative symbol of Bond.

　　Not only is the Omega Seamaster a standard issue for gentlemanly Bond, but it also frequently serves as a crucial gadget enabling various rescue missions to succeed. They say that "bonds and Seamasters are ironclad, while Bond girls come and go"; in multiple 007 films, Bond is seen wearing that very Seamaster watch. When 007 was succeeded by Daniel Craig, he continued to wear various models of Omega Seamaster chronographs in the films, ranging from the 300m water-resistant to the 600m water-resistant Planet Ocean series, with straps changing from stainless steel to rubber.

　　In any case, no matter who plays Bond, that most iconic timepiece—Omega Seamasterwill never change, because it is more than just a watch; it is a style, a taste, and an attitude.
