The new James Bond watch?

Is the next James Bond going to use the new Sub C or Omega?

Whatever brand pays most for product placement. Bet on Tag Heuer.

Seeing that Omega sponsor Bond nowadays I guess it will be the ceramic PO. Btw I saw Licens to Kill on tv yesterday, Timothy Dalton wears a sub date through out the whole movie

Yes, it is pre-production, Sam Mendes will direct. I guess it is the first time an Academy Award director will make a Bond movie. According to imdb.com both Ralph Fiennes and Javier Bardem will star. I hope Fiennes is the Bond villian

If you read the books, as Dell Deaton pointed out, the new Bond watch is the stainless steel Oyster Perpetual Date 115200. If we're talking about the films, then I would imagine the next one would be either the new Planet Ocean or new 300m diver

Probably an Omega, but just because of the business sponsorship! The author expressly wrote that James Bond did wear a Rolex watch!

However Daniel Craig, the last JB, is a Rolex collector!

How much would a product placement be in a Bond movie?

I'd like to see the Deep Sea or the Sub-C as the new "Bond Watch".

Check James Bond, MI6 for production updates, if it is of interest, under "Bond 23 news".

Daniel Craig is now an official Omega Ambassador. By virtue of that he'll be wearing an Omega.

Bond will wear omega

Seems Daniel Craig is wearing omega on and off screen and he just partnered with omega on a special edition so I think we can all forget about seeing rolex in any more bond movies...and maybe even on his wrist at all he was recently photographed in a speed master and in esquire was wearing what appears to be a new planet ocean chrono...I can't help but wonder if there was an ulterior motive for being seen in all those rolexes to possibly push omega to pay him more as an ambassador and to also try to establish or proffer that omega is as good or on par as rolex...think about that and the train scene in casino royale...

Agree with the other guys who said - whoever pays the most to get their product endorsed !!

I remember back in the mid 90's when I had my Omega SMP - few people where I worked at time would say - is that the bond watch which used to hack me off so maybe be grateful its not rolex .......!!!

I thought the train scene in casino royale when he mentioned his Omega was totally cringeworthy !!

Dont care what watch 007 will or will not be rocking!... All I care about is I hope the 3rd DC's bond movie will be as or better than the last 2... I want to see him blast, blow up, and kill bad guys!... Oh! Plus his new ride and lady friends!
