An Omega watch billboard with the SMA's lovely mug has just gone up on a major thoroughfare that I use on my way to work. Not that I mind the scenery (mmm), but they don't seem to be in a very large hurry to put the current Bond's face up there yet. Do they have a Seamaster watch that goes with baby blue swim trunks? <wink>

Wow. I really wonder if they're in danger of being sued or not. PB is no longer an Omega Ambassador. Of course there might be some contractual provisions for continued use of pre-existing campaigns.
It's very strange when the president of Omega rather defensively and IMO rather erroneously said his ambassadorship ended when he was no longer Bond because Bond was the image not PB. This despite the fact that sent him to India months after he said Bond was over and have used a "Pierce Brosnan's Choice" campaign for years as well as a Bond campaign.
The Omega site actually was using an image of PB from Bond on set (not in character but off set in his trailer) to advertise the Bond Omega watches well into March. His ambassadorship ended in Dec 2005. And here it is 6 months later and they're still putting up billboards. Very interesting.
I haven't heard of any Craig side affiliation with Omega and his photo even as Bond is not on the site even though their watches are being used in the film.
So, which photo are they using for the billboard?

That photo looks like it may have been an original reject from the era of "Laws of Attraction." It certain looks like the hair he wore for Daniel.

The campaign was done in 2003, with Crawford and Kournikova -- so the year fits LOA hair.  |

What's more, OMEGA also congratulated Pierce and Keely on their wedding in an ad at the back of one of the Hello! Magazine editions that featured the wedding photos.
