Time and tide wait for no man, neither does James Bond. Throughout the history of James Bond movies, Bond has been showing off his collection of luxury watches in a dazzling style. England's most secretive special agent is sharp when it comes to his missions and much crisper when it comes to his selection of timepieces. A look at his most iconic watch collection throughout the 59 years of brilliance would leave you awestruck. Here are a few:
Omega Seamaster 300
This Omega Seamaster 300 was exclusively designed and made for the spectacular Bond movie “Spectre” (2015). Daniel Craig gives us a view of this beauty while examining the explosive properties that are showcased in the movie. Don't you worry, the limited-edition watch is not going to explode in the real world. This self-winding automatic watch comes with a brilliant black dial on a stainless-steel bracelet with a folding buckle. Limited edition 007 inspired watch is built with black ceramic bi-directional bezel ring, built with a 12-hour scale in Liquidmetal™. The crystal used is a domed, scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal with anti‑reflective treatment inside.
Rolex Submariner
The pioneer of 007 watches, the Rolex Submariner is a phenomenal timepiece that is a true collector's item given its significance in the James Bond franchise. Commonly known as a “Big Crown” due to the oversized crown, this watch has a black dial, stainless steel case with a screw-down back and red triangle bezel. The first actor to portray Bond, Sean Connery was a devoted Rolex enthusiast, just as Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond novels. The relationship between Rolex and the Bond franchise grew along with each installment in the series. It has been reported that the Rolex Submariner used in the movie Dr. No (1962) comes from Connery's personal collection.
One of the finest Rolex watches ever made, Rolex Chronograph found its entry in John Goldberger’s “100 Superlative Rolex Watches” with a two-page description. Worn by George Lazenby in the 1969 Bond movie, “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”. It is also known as Rolex Pre Daytona 6238 and is built with stainless steel case and bracelet. The oyster case and the pump pushers give the watch a fine look and elegance. An extremely rare collection due to its limited production, only less than 2000 watches were made in total.
TAG Heuer Professional Night-Dive
This watch was brought to the silver screen by Timothy Dalton in the 1987 Bond movie “The Living Daylights”, TAG Heuer Professional Night-Dive is the only TAG Heuer entry in the entire James Bond watch series. Bringing an end to the Seiko series after a decade, TAG Heuer's Professional Night-Dive made a major difference in the legacy of Bond watches. James Bond's history tells us that he used to serve as a Naval officer before he was recruited as a 007 agent. Until TAG Heuer appeared on Bond's wrist, the character development wasn't complete because any ex-naval officer would have a diver's watch on his wrist.
Omega took the Bond franchise by a storm and continues to do so in each movie. Worn by Daniel Craig in the 2008 Bond movie “Quantum of Solace”, Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean comes with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a black dial and a date window at the 3 o’clock position. Equipped with a helium-escape valve, this beauty can go up to 600m underwater which makes it a perfect companion for divers and surfers alike. At the heart of this certified chronometer is a Co-Axial calibre 2500.The world of luxury watches always dazzles us with their elegance and magnificence.
