The broad arrow on the NTTD Seamaster only makes sense if you imagine that its a watch from his former career as a commander in the navy prior to becoming 007. So I consider this a personal possession that James has had for many years developing the patina and vintage aesthetic that Omega tried to envoke with the faux patina tropical dial, non-ceramic bezel, box/domed crystal and milanese bracelet.

Great episode! Love RJ’s recommendation of the Constellation Manhattan that the actor Robert Wagner wore. It’s definitely a classy timepiece and would revive the Constellation brand in the USA.

Bond the character has a background in naval intelligence. Believe that the Omega Seamster makes sense as a result. Agree that Omega should not create a new reference for Bond, but rather have Bond wear either something out of the catalogue or something that gets issued to special forces.

IIRC Bond was a Navy commander, rather than in the Army. If we're going back to his roots, a CWC diver would work. Also, Lex is right. No more silly gadgets please.

Gadgets are part of Bond’s persona. It stems from the SOE of WW2, for whom many gadgets were developed for espionage purposes!

According to the books, Bond was in the British Navy (not army) so I’d suggest his British Navy-issued Diver. But agree that would give away information about him when he’s supposed to be incognito. Also, there were specific references in the books to Rolex and him looking down at his watch with “phosphorus numerals”. So that means we should be wearing an Explorer 1016. So depending on the time period of the film, it could be that or a vintage Omega Seamaster. If current times, then a JLC Polaris diver.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms seems obvious to me, still under the swatch umbrella. While I would love to see the new 42mm in titanium, it would be cool to see the Bathyscaphe on full ceramic bracket.

The very last bond watch, which had a blue aluminum bezel and throwback wave pattern, would have been an instant classic if it had been the same thickness as the NTTD. I am still holding out hope that they use that dial in another model and bring in the height a tad.

Daniel Craig wore at least 2 watches in each of his James Bond movies (apart from NTTD). The blue/yellow Aqua Terra with the family crest was in Skyfall, not Spectre. In Spectre he wore a 3rd watch at the end of the movie, a vintage 101.010, but you only see it for a split second. Harking back to the Sean Connery movies, he would wear a dress watch with formal attire (typically a Gruen) and a sports watch for casual wear. Maybe the new James Bond could wear a De Ville Tresor for those casino scenes, and the usual Seamaster in action scenes.

If the swatch group would try to follow up the "Blancpain awareness" after the 70' years anniversary models, the Scuba 50's models and the new 42,3mm models, then maybe the would try to fit the latest fifty fathoms version on James Bond. Regé-Jean Page is my suggestion for new Bond.

Bond's creator wore an explorer, and there are hints in the books that Bond did too. That said, the character of Bond was famously also inspired by that crook of a Prins Bernhard, who famously wore some rolexes, amongst which an DateJust with a turned bezel that got auctioned off in 2007. Bond, to my mind, should wear a simple and no frills rolex, if you want to be Fleming/book/inspiration correct. Omega's product placement might have been quite succesful, but it's just not right. Then again, the best James Bond was Roger Moore, and therefore a Seiko LCD and a Pulsar led watch would do the trick handsomely.

Lex… Harry Styles is a cross dresser who might weight 55kg. Unless Omega is locked in with a contract, Rolex might be in play - they’re going to have a LOT of marketing budget freed up if the LVHM/Tag bid for F1 comes to fruition. Bond wearing a Pepsi, how badass would that be? Or he could troll by wearing a Batman?

Instead of Omega designing a new watch, Sponsoring Olympics , releasing new chronoscope, white dial Speedmaster and a million other things,how about fulfilling a 4 year watch list of people waiting for a Snoopy? I’ve simply had enough and don’t care what they bring out anymore. Deposit back thanks.

You couldn’t put Bond back into space, without asking Elon Musk’s permission to use one of his rockets. Shuttle ain’t working anymore😂. Got to remember that Bond is supposed to be elegant and sophisticated as well as tough, intelligent and resourceful, so you would need a watch that falls into the criteria. I think a British brand would fall into that category and bearing in mind that the MOD is tight, a Christopher Ward would fall into that category. The next Bond should be an actor whose jacket actually fits him and doesn’t look as though it is straining at the buttons!

Bond wears a Rolex, it's canon. The only reason Omega got involved was because when Cubby Broccoli asked Rolex for money the laughter in Geneva could be heard all the way to Pinewood. The NTTD Omega is a fugly tribute for testosterone challanged fantasists the world over, and honestly the film connection means I would never buy another Seamaster because people might think I gave a stuff about what watch a fictional spy wears. the watch Bond wears will be the highest bidding manufacturer, Tag Heuer? Bet you choose a current advertiser or partner, cos just like Bond, and unlike Rolex your for sale too aincha?
