Naomie Harris wears an Omega De Ville

Moneypenny spends No Time to Die (2021) working the inside of MI6 while Bond is out of it; she and Q are the ones quietly helping him chase Heracles, the DNA-targeted weapon at the center of Cary Joji Fukunaga's film. Naomie Harris plays her third film as Moneypenny, and the watch on her wrist is an Omega De Ville Prestige Quartz, 27.4 millimeters of steel on a dark green leather strap, with a silk-patterned silvery opaline dial, blackened Roman numerals, and six blackened diamond holders. The identification traces back to Omega itself: the brand's Lifetime magazine named the model, reference 424.13.27.60.52.002, and the watch sits in plain view on Moneypenny's character poster.

It belongs to the film's wider Omega spread, beside Daniel Craig's titanium Seamaster 007 Edition and the black-dialed Aqua Terra on Lashana Lynch's new 007, and it is the quietest watch of the three. The thinking behind it is on the record, because Harris explained it herself at Omega's Her Time House in Mayfair, in conversation with the writer Otegha Uwagba: "I thought of this as the first watch she'd actually bought for herself; a part of her growing up. It gave her more depth, allowed me to create layers for her, and find a way into the soul of this person."
