Ben thinks he has a straight shot with the heritage-infused Seamaster 300 last seen in Spectre (2015). In his arsenal, Jorg has the yet unseen No Time To Die (2021) Omega Seamaster Diver 300M in titanium.
But today’s showdown might just be a fair fight as Jorg and Ben are dueling with Omega watches that feature prominently in the two most recent Daniel Craig spy thrillers. Jorg, on the other hand, is practicing his evil laugh, stroking a Persian cat, and waiting for the plucky Brit to miss the target once again.
Even so, he still musters the energy to rise, take aim, and let the music play. Like the grainy black and white opening to Casino Royale (2006), Ben is battered and bruised and lying on the bathroom floor. That is Ben’s actual Frecce Tricolori you just slandered. But the Tudor Chrono S&G slaughtered the new 2020 Breitling Chronomat with 58% playing 42%. Jorg’s Breguet Type XXI took a marginal win over the Blancpain Air Command at 51%. Try and cast your mind back to the last two Showdowns, and it’s not looking too good for Ben. We hope you agreed with the eventual winner, the Speedmaster Calibre 321. The Speedmaster World Cup has occupied this space, and we are glad to see many readers lend their vote to their Speedy of choice. Yet before we get into our main topic, it’s been a while since our last Sunday Morning Showdown. For some reason, that classic ends up being Moonraker (1979). Not sure about everyone reading this, but British television channels tend to replay a 007 classic or two at this time of year. The good thing about Bond movies is there are plenty to choose from and re-watch. Best things come to those who wait, so in 2021, let’s hope we all share the moment of staring down the barrel of the gun as the screen turns crimson. We waited five years since Spectre for the next Bond outing - but now we have to wait a little while longer. For the final SMS of this year, two iconic Omega James Bond wristwatches go head-to-head. After the excitement of our Speedmaster World Cup, it’s time to get back into the groove of the Sunday Morning Showdowns. We’ll try and feature as many of our readers’ choices as we can. And don’t forget to let us know which watches you’d like to see torn to shreds/effusively exalted next week.
