The James Bond watch turns 25 this year, with an exhibition at ION Orchard

The original watch, the Omega Seamaster 300M Quartz Professional, ran on a quartz movement, because it was introduced before the mechanical watch renaissance of the late 1990s Subsequent models of the Seamaster 300M worn by 007 were fitted with automatic movements, with the latest being the Seamaster 300 Master Chronometer Spectre Edition, as seen in 2015's Spectre From Oct 4 to 14, 10am to 10pm daily, the Seamaster Exhibition at ION Orchard's outdoor event space will chronicle the watch's history and presence in the Bond universe.

Visitors will be able to pass through a 'heritage tunnel' where they will experience immersive sound and light installations mimicking the underwater environment - the dive watch's natural home At this year's Basel watch fair, Omega rolled out no less than 14 different editions of the watch, now called the Seamaster Diver 300M The new editions have been beefed up to a 42mm diameter to accommodate Calibre 8800, which Omega describes as a precise, high-performance movement with high magnetic resistance.

The watches are officially certified as Master Chronometers - meaning to say, highly accurate timekeepers - by Switzerland's national metrological agency, METAS Along with the updated movement, the date window has been moved from its three o'clock position to a new six o'clock roost Collectors can pop into the Omega boutique in ION Orchard to pick up their favourite piece(s).
