The Watch That Bond Wore – Collecting Classic Luxury Watches

“A gentleman’s choice of timepiece says as much about him as does his Saville Row suit.” – Ian Fleming

It’s the height of the summer and time for something fun! We found a great romp of a piece from Crown & Caliber detailing the history of watches in the James Bond film franchise. The spy who was always dressed impeccably to the nines of course sported a watch to go with. As every man who played the ultimate spy brought his own flavor to the role, so too did he bring his own watch. Whether the origin-of-it-all Rolex Submariner 6538 sported by Sean Connery in Dr. No, the TAG Heuer Professional 200M worn by Timothy Dalton in The Living Daylights or the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Chronometer ported by Daniel Craig in Casino Royale, there’s a luxury watch for every Bond man, and for all of us. Enjoy a fun read, choose your favorite and wear it well!

Cheers
