Spectre watch !

[kentrojan1]

Does anyone else here think they should of used the Tudor black bay black on the fabric strap on James bonds wrist instead of the Omega sea master 300!

Or am I just the minority .

I recently re-watched Casino Royale a few weeks back and that scene on the train when Vesper asks Bond if he wearing a Rolex, and he responds with an Omega just felt weird (no offence to Omega owner's at all), just a shame it was not the other way around!

Product placement... Helps pay for the film. Felt awkward however...

At least she mentioned Rolex- I am surprised Omega let them get away with that.

Bond was also drinking Heineken for product placement in Skyfall; just what has to be done these days to get a movie produced....

No, I imagine Omega paid extra for an extraneous line that made sure everyone in the audience knew the mighty James Bond wears an Omega.

Not as weird as her accent

I am as much as an Omega as a Rolex groupie.
Mentioning Omega was fine...they both quality.
What i thought was overboard, was wearing 2 TYPES of Omegas in the film?..:)
I thought that was somehow absurd...
Could have jus stuck with the Seamaster and it would have been fine...

I agree

[MATCH1969]

Like the Seamaster 300, but you can buy the normal version for 5500€ list price and there are always open for discount at Omega !

[sickened1]

That would be cool but yeah, I doubt that's gonna happen.

The Seamaster was perfect and Omega paid for the advertising.

but who cares, why does it matter what "James Bond" wears, it's just a movie.
What watch did Ferris Bueller wear.

I mean just think about how many watches people own in this forum and how tastes evolve....why on earth would James Bond an international spy with an unlimited budget wear the same watch foreverrrr, isn't it plausible that he might have more than one brand, more than one watch or flipped it, or that the "James Bond 007" is just a call sign designator and/or that it's a different dude now....no, it must be a RRRRRolexxxx foreverrrr. :(

What watch did Harry Palmer wear? Far cooler and more interesting than James Bond.

I agree completely; why with all the technology available today would Bond choose a plain analog watch. I know our fascination with the mechanical marvels but I'd hardly expect a 2015 version of what was an exceptional watch in the early 1960s to be an acceptable choice, Omega or Rolex. Truthfully the Breitling Emergency would seem more in keeping.

No way an Apple would work considering their frail land only nature.

I remember that scene, and agree... I saw the SM 300 Bond edition last week... Cool but north of $8k retail? No thanks. It does come with 2 tickets to the movie though.

I'd take those tickets any day rather than a diet coke!

Is that the new nickname for the BBB, the Diet Coke! Very good, very contemporary.

HA!!! That Diet Coke story will never die! You're right though, tickets would be cool... Cant wait for next month!

Can somebody please point me towards the thread containing this Diet Coke business? I've read a thousand references to it but I somehow missed the original thread, and I feel so left out!

As for Commander Bond, he's a fictional character so he never actually wore anything. However, I think that the purest interpretation would be Bond wearing an Explorer I.

I cant remember the name of the thread since it was a while ago... Someone on the forum got bent out of shape because he was offered a Diet Coke and it wasn't poured into a glass. There is more to the story, but that's all I can really remember. He was pretty unreasonable from what I recall which is what made it memorable for me.

[Bfd70]

I wonder if BBB will be in every thread on page 1 by the end of the week.

[themaninblack]

Whilst Bond never wore an Omega he also never wore a Tudor. Back to reality the Tudor Is not in the same league as the Seamaster 300 Master co-axial. The casework, the bezel, the bracelet quality, and of course the movement of the Omega are all of exquisite quality. Hold one in each hand and literally weigh them up. Putting personal aesthetics choices aside, the BB will look and feel somewhat ordinary.

I agree with this; Bond wears what is considered an ultimate tool watch. As much as I love my BBR, it's a reissue made to emulate the real thing but it's not it. Bond wouldn't wear it. For that matter I even question whether he'd wear any current Omega or Rolex for that matter unless it was worn by the military and had exceptional capability. Considering it is all make believe, I'm not certain how much it really matters.

[toomuchtalk]

He wore an explorer 36mm.

[strafer_kid]

Reckon he would just wear whatever pays the most to those making the movie.....Rolex maybe don't feel the need?

[MCO1]

I do like the Seamaster 300 but I would prefer they go back to Rolex. Since he generally wears at least two per movie he could wear an Explorer 39mm to commemorate Ian Fleming and the original intent. Next he could wear a no date Sub in honor of the the early movies.
