James Bond’s Watches: The Complete Movie Timeline


He’s the world’s most famous secret agent, and the selection of watches on his wrist is at least as varied as the parade of “Bond girls” at his side. Each watch reflects its epoch: from robust mechanical timekeepers, through digital timepieces, to state-of-the-art chronometers. With the long-awaited (and long-delayed) No Time to Die now in theaters, we re-present our timeline overview of 007’s wrist-wear over the years.

1962
James Bond first appeared on the silver screen in 1962 and has remained there ever since, but the Bond character was born 10 years prior to 007’s cinematic debut. Ian Fleming wrote Casino Royale, his first novel about the adventures of the charming MI6 agent, while on his honeymoon in 1952. Although Bond immediately showed extraordinarily good taste in automobiles and clothes, his wristwatch wasn’t identified until Fleming’s second novel, Live and Let Die (1954). Bond wears a Rolex in this book, which is not surprising, because Fleming himself wore a Rolex Explorer, Reference 1016, on an extensible Oyster riveted strap. Fleming’s affection for Rolex is apparent in the first James Bond film, where Bond, played by Sean Connery, casually straps on a Rolex Submariner without a date display while hunting the nefarious Dr. No, for whom the movie is named. Reference 6358 has a leather strap here. Film buffs believe that this model was one of Sean Connery’s personal possessions.

1963/1964
James Bond remained faithful to Rolex in his second cinematic adventure, From Russia with Love. The movie shows Connery wearing a Rolex Submariner, Reference 6538, which still shows just the time because Q, the famous master of innovative weaponry, hadn’t yet equipped 007’s watch with any other special capabilities.

Connery again wears Reference 6538 in Goldfinger, where it’s attached to a much-too-narrow textile strap. Pussy Galore, the aviatrix with the politically incorrect name, relies on a classical pilots’ watch: the Rolex GMT Master, Reference 6542.

1965
James Bond wears two watches in Thunderball. He uses his Rolex Submariner to tell the time, but he relies on a modified Breitling Top Time when he needs a Geiger counter. This watch was rediscovered in 2013 at an English flea market, where the authentic prop from the classic flick changed hands for a paltry 25 pounds – and was soon afterwards auctioned for a five-figure sum.

1967
The phrase “You Only Live Twice” is perhaps more appropriate for James Bond than for anyone else. In the movie of that name, the dapper agent battles his archenemy, Ernst Stavro Blofeld. No one knows exactly which watch accompanied 007, but some aficionados suspect it was a golden Gruen, which probably came from Connery’s private collection.

1969
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service featured a new leading man, but this film would be Australian actor George Lazenby’s only stint as James Bond. As if to recompense him for his short-lived tenure, he has the good fortune in this film to wed the actress Diana Rigg, whom you may remember from the TV show The Avengers. In the movie Bond wore a Rolex Submariner (Ref. 5513) and a Rolex Chronograph (Ref. 6238).

A familiar face returned to the silver screen in Diamonds Are Forever, where Sean Connery, back as Bond, turns his attention not only to girls, but to girls’ best friends. Bond fights the good fight mostly without a watch, although one does make a cameo appearance in one scene. Connoisseurs think it might be the same golden Gruen worn in You Only Live Twice.

1973/1974
Roger Moore’s debut as James Bond, in Live and Let Die, and its follow-up, The Man with the Golden Gun, inaugurated a new era spiced not only with more humor, but also with a Rolex Submariner 5513 equipped with practical additional functions. For the first time, the agent’s watch hosted gadgets added by Q. The watch could be triggered to serve as a circular saw, which comes in handy when handcuffs need to be removed. It also had a built-in magnet to deflect incoming bullets or, when necessary, help to suavely disrobe a lady. In Live and Let Die, Bond wore another watch in the opening sequence, one of the power-hungry Pulsar LED digital watches from Hamilton, which helped usher in the quartz revolution.

East meets West with a bang in The Spy Who Loved Me, in which sparks fly between Bond and Major Anya Amasova. A Rolex GMT Master assures precise timekeeping, while a Seiko 0674 LC functions as a pager: a label-making printer inside the watch ejects strips of paper bearing important messages from the office spymaster M.

The risqué name of the next Bond film, Octopussy, caused a furor in England. In it, Moore’s Bond, with a Seiko TV Watch on his wrist, turns his attention to a young lady who works as one of Q’s assistants. The same year, Connery gave his final performance as Bond in Never Say Never Again. The identity of his watch in this movie remains a mystery.

An Omega Seamaster Professional (Reference 2531.80) is again the ticking costar in Tomorrow Never Dies.

The World Is Not Enough for this secret agent, so he escapes its confines aboard a rocket bound for outer space. In his battle against Elektra King and her cohorts, Bond relies on Reference 2561.80 as a radiant light source and as a rescue cable with a grappling hook.

Pierce Brosnan remains faithful to the Omega Seamaster in his fourth adventure. This chronometer saves 007’s life in Die Another Day thanks to an explosive charge in its helium valve that can be detonated via the bezel. A powerful laser in the watch’s crown serves Bond well in his battle against the evildoer Gustav Graves.

James Bond loves variety, so when Daniel Craig debuts as everyone’s favorite secret agent in a big-screen adaptation of Casino Royale, he alternately wears an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (Ref. 2220.80) and a Seamaster Planet Ocean (Ref. 2900.50.91).

It seems as though Bond needs an exceedingly watertight watch in Quantum of Solace. His Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M (Reference 2201.50) reliably resists pressure at great depths.

James Bond wears several watches in Skyfall, including one that was specially built for this film and which Christie’s auctioned for nearly 200,000 euros in 2012. Bond’s Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M has a titanium case, unlike the serially manufactured version, which is stainless steel. Both are fitted with Caliber 8500.  For more information on the Skyfall watch, click here.

In 2015’s Spectre, Daniel Craig returned to the screen, this time wearing an Omega Seamaster 300 Spectre, which alludes to a predecessor from the 1960s. He also sported an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra in the opening sequence.  We cover that watch in detail here.

In Craig’s final outing as Bond, 2021’s No Time to Die, he wore the Omega Seamaster Diver 007 Edition, a military-look dive watch designed with the actor’s own design input that sports a tough-but-lightweight titanium case, a tropical brown dial with vintage lume, and a scalloped rotating bezel with an aluminum insert. WatchTime’s Mark Bernardo reviewed the watch ahead of the film’s release; you can read the details here.

  1. The Gruen was also worn in the opening scene of Dr. No (with his dinner jacket in the casino) and some scenes in Goldfinger, notably the fight with Oddjob in the vault.

  2. I beg to differ in the 1st watch seen in a Bond film.

    In Dr. No’s opening scene, Bond is seen wearing the soon to be notorious Gruen Precision 510.
    It wasn’t until famous Bond watch researcher Dell Deaton identified the watch as a Gruen Precision 510, 40 years after it first appeared on screen, that we could confirm its reference.

    It’s worth noting that a somewhat frequent continuity error throughout the film “Live and let die” finds 007’s Submariner replaced in non-closeup scenes with a different steel watch, which Bond fans have identified as a Tissot Visodate Seastar PR516 that was likely Moore’s personal timepiece.

  18. The Seiko TV watch is the best Bond watch because it’s so much more unique than most of the other boring ones. The Submariner is obviously the classic Bond watch but the Omega era feels like a bit of a generic sell out even though they are an iconic brand.

    Casio makes a decent version of the TV watch for under $30, the Casio AE1200WHD-1A Stainless Steel Digital Watch. Its like the one Bond wears in Octopussy.

    I’m a little disappointed none of his watches has ever featured a compass or altimeter, seems like they could come in handy for a guy like James Bond.

    The litany of Timepieces aside, actually James Bond first appeared on the Silver Screen, on the small screen, in 1954. An American TV Series Climax took Casino Royale and adapted it with Barry Nelson as the first James Bond, though despite Ian Fleming’s authorship, cast him as an American, along with Peter Lorre as Le Chiffre, Linda Christian as Valerie Mathis and Michael Pate as ‘Clarence’ Leiter.

    Not only was Bond’s first movie watch a Yema diver but it was one of the very early examples of paid product placement in the movies. The original founder of Yema made a big deal about this (during that time frame) but you see, back then there were no DVDs. The movie would make a second tour in the theaters and eventually was also on video tape. But the paid placements were only good for the first run. The subsequent releases often had parts cut out because they had been paid placements but were not perpetual. Without a close-up of the watch, no company would gain any advantage. Thus, the paid segment was always the close-up of the watch, which is why there is no close-up of any watch in Dr. No. It expired and was cut. The book may have specified a Rolex but Yema paid for the spot.

    Bond’s watch in Dr. No (1962) was a Yema, French made. This was perhaps one of the very first examples of a ”paid product placement” in a motion picture. This was Yema’s claim to fame for quite a few years, until they put a watch in space, which was also done to dog Omega. Even the name ‘Yema’ was selected to sound like a Greek Alphabet letter, as an effort to ride Omega’s success. For a few years in the late 70s and early 80’s Yema was a bigger brand than Omega, at least overall. The Swiss watch business nearly collapsed in the early 1980s when Seiko was selling their far superior 21 Jewel automatics. At that time, the Yemas were equal in quality to the Swiss brands, often more attractive, sometimes more innovative and usually cheaper.

    It’s a pity that nobody knows exactly what it was….the only thing anybody knows for certain is that it wasn’t a Submariner. It was a gold colored case dress watch with a light colored dial…which kind of makes me think he was wearing the Gruen in that shot. The best shot is at 7:50 minutes in.

      I agree with the fact that the article is very inaccurate. Poorly written as well. It would have been better, not only doing more in depth research, but also accompany the article with more objective pictures.
      I have to add that product placement evolved thru those fifty-plus years and Omega’s gain against Rolex was based not only on a more avant-garde approach but also on the snobbish attitude Rolex has claimed thru time. They should worry about coming out of the shell and at least improve the quality of their s.s. bracelets. I rest my case.
