What comes with a new 2907.50.91 watch?
In response to the eMails I'm getting from buyers, I've put together this reference to what you can expect to receive with your purchase of an Omega model 2907.50.91 "Casino Royale" Limited Series "Seamaster Planet Ocean Big Size" wristwatch. Click on any thumbnail below to see a larger version of that image.
Image #1. Watch in black leather gift box with unique James Bond Limited Series and 007 markings.
Image #2. Watch comes with plastic film protecting the crystal.
Image #3. Caseback is also covered with a plastic film. Additionally, I've added arrows to show the following:
|
Arrow #1: Serial number printed on sticker (serial numbers are 8 digits) |
|
|
Arrow #2: Serial number printed on sticker |
|
|
Arrow #3: Series number engraved into caseback (ie, xxxx / 5,007) |
|
|
Arrow #4: Serial number engraved into watch case, behind the 7 o'clock lug |
In all images here, the last four digits of the serial number and either three or all four of the series number digits have been deliberately obscured for owner privacy.
Note: The 8-digit serial number for the watch, then, is identically recorded for the owner in five places.

Image #4. The 2907.50.91 "Casino Royale" Seamaster Planet Ocean comes in a standard Omega white cardboard outer box. There are no markings on this to uniquely associate it with the James Bond 007 or limited series issue. The cover of the box in this image is printed "SP 6308" and the Omega name and logo appear on top.
The "Certificate of
Authenticity" specific to the individual series number for this watch
sits on top of the black leather gift box. A grey polishing cloth with
orange piping is provided as well (the color orange serves as somewhat
of an image anchor for the Planet Ocean line, and it's important to use
a polishing cloth specifically designed not to scratch the
anti-reflective coating that this watch has on the outside as
well as the inside surface of the crystal); the words "Seamaster Planet
Ocean" are impressed into the fabric.
The back of the box features a separate compartment to hold the cards
wallet and Operating Instructions booklet.
Image #5. Black leather gift box (closed; this is the exterior of what is depicted open in Image #1, above). Be sure to click on the image for larger detail in order to more fully appreciate the embossed Omega and 007 gun barrel logos on the top.
Image #6. Operating Instructions booklet 1/8 (soft cover)
Image #7. "Certificate of Authenticity: Tri-fold piece on heavier, textured paper stock, with 007 (gun barrel logo) Seamaster Limited Series references and Omega signature.
Image #8. Open view of the tri-fold "Certificate of Authenticity" interior. The unique series number here will exactly match the one engraved into the wristwatch caseback with which it is associated (see Image #3, above).
Note: The 4-digit series number for the watch (ie, xxxx / 5007) is identically recorded for the owner in only two places.

Image #9. Black leather card wallet, featuring six slots (the 2907.50.91 "Casino Royale" Seamaster Planet Ocean comes with only three cards, however). Shown here with "International Warranty," "Chronometer Certificate," and "Pictograms" cards.
Image #10. "Chronometer Certificate" card, indicating Ref: 29075091 and the serial number specific to this wristwatch (the last four digits of which are deliberately obscured in this image).
Image #11. "International Warranty" card, imprinted with the name of the Omega Authorized Dealer to which this watch was issued through the Omega SA distributor network for retail sale. In the case of this particular watch, the name of the Authorized Dealer has been obscured out of respect for all Authorized Dealers who play by the rules (ie, their contract with Omega SA) and do not sell on the Internet.
Given the unique serial number according to the "Chronometer Certificate" card (Image #10) and the imprinted name of the Authorized Dealer here, some customers prefer not to have their further identifying information not handwritten into the spaces provided at time of purchase: Ink can wear off, and collectors may feel that handwriting diminishes the value of this part of their investment. That's not uncommon, and it doesn't preclude customer support responsiveness from the OEM. The important thing to note in having this card serve its intended purpose (vis-à-vis warranty work, COSC certificate orders) is that this card, in conjunction with sales receipt, documentation, has historically satisfied Omega SA − even when these fields on the card remain blank.
Image #12. "Pictograms" card.
Image #13. One side of the ivory-colored hang tag. The number at the top corresponds to the 2907.50.91 "Casino Royale" Seamaster Planet Ocean model; the next line begins with the serial number for this particular watch (see Item #3, above, for further discussion); the "2500" at the end of that line refers to the co-axial movement inside this watch; and the icons below correspond to those on the "Pictograms" card (see Image #12).
Image #14. Other side of the ivory-colored hang tag. Below the Omega logo, a paper with pricing is inserted specific to the market (in this case, MSRP in the currency of the USA).
Image #15. One side of the grey-colored hang tag. Note that the co-axial escapement carries a longer warranty than that which Omega SA offered for previous issue James Bond 007 watches.
Image #16. Other side of the grey-colored hang tag.
Image #17. The famous (infamous?) "red dot" you hear sellers refer to having on watches they're looking to assure you have never had the casebacks opened. Lack of a dot is not necessarily an indication that the mechanism has been exposed to the light of day after production, although my current Seamaster 2531.80 still has this tamper evidency measure intact. In the example of the wristwatch shown here, this red dot is located on a section of the caseback immediately behind the 6 o'clock position on the dial.
Image #18. Between the caseback sections where the words "Limited Series" and "Planet" are engraved on the caseback, Omega SA has added another anti-counterfeit measure. This is a highly detailed engraving that is hard to duplicate, and is indicated by the arrow in this image here.

If I've missed anything, I'm sure someone will let me know. Again, hope this helps assure you're getting the most with this James Bond 007 investment.
