The camera comes in a handcrafted case designed by Globe-Trotter, the British luxury suitcase brand. Both the camera case and camera are finished in the same "Ocean Green" leather colorway.

"The concept of a Leica and 007 partnership began with Michael G. Wilson," a spokesperson for Leica said in a statement released to Travel + Leisure. "Wilson, the producer of the James Bond film series together with his sister Barbara Broccoli, is a leading expert on 19th-century photography and founded The Wilson Centre for Photography. Wilson's passion for photography provided the natural spark for the collaboration."

And this isn't just a one-sided partnership. According to the brand, their cameras play a role both on set and behind the scenes of the upcoming Bond movie.

"In 'No Time To Die,' Leica worked with the 007 production team to display Leica cameras on the sets of James Bond's Jamaican home, and fittingly, the Leica Q2 in Q's home in London," the company added.

The Leica Q2 007 Edition officially launched on September 9, 2021 at the opening of the Leica Gallery London exhibition: "No Time to Die – Behind the Scenes." The event presented an edit of 25 images curated by Michael G. Wilson. Further exhibitions will take place in Tokyo, Osaka, Vienna, Frankfurt, Los Angeles, Singapore, China, Seoul, and Salzburg throughout September and October. The camera is also now available to purchase online and in-store starting at $7,995.
