Christie's auction three Limited Edition Omega Seamaster Commander watches
In an online-only auction, Christie's offers three special editions of the Seamaster Commander's watch: a steel version with a YOLT naval uniform, an 18K gold version with TSWLM uniform, and a unique 18K white gold Commander's watch with the Royal Navy Ensign flag from SPECTRE, signed by Daniel Craig himself.
When creating the Commander's watch, OMEGA was inspired by James Bond's rank and regalia. This limited edition features some unique characteristics like the 007 gun logo counter weight on the central seconds hand and the number 7 in the date window is colored red, while the other numbers are blue.
Christie's offers three rare versions of the watch in an auction, the proceeds of which will go to UNICEF, the United Nations Mine Action Service, and a number of charitable organizations. The auction runs from 3 - 17 October 2017.

The watch in this auction comes with a reproduction naval uniform to the same specification that Sean Connery wore in You Only Live Twice. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film You Only Live Twice.
