Rolex Explorer 1, the watch that Ian Flemming wore when writing the Bond novels. He references Rolex in the books themselves I believe, so you'd have to imagine he was thinking of the watch on his wrist at the time. I'm a little surprised that Adrian didn't pick it actually 😉

Adrian criticized any 007 marketing on the Omegas BUT the biggest flaw which no one seems to pick up is the broad arrow marking on the No Time to Die Seamaster. The marking denotes MOD military issue and property of British government. Fine to wear as a soldier in uniform but terrible for a spy. If you were caught with this watch in cold war USSR or China, good luck proving you aren't working for the British government let alone being a spy. Very amateur mistake. You pose a danger to yourself and embarrassment to your country

Effing great, chaps! For me, the ultimate Bond watch was the Sub on NATO worn by the ultimate Bond, Sean Connery. Hats off for mentioning Autodromo; as a petrolhead and watch geek, I love them.

Great episode. I love Omega, so I really want to like the Seamaster Aqua Terra, but I can't. Is it a dive watch? A dress watch? A tool watch? The name doesn't match the look, and the look is pleasant yet schizophrenic. It's like the Hamilton of Omegas: everything with Hamilton is Khaki (what is up with that?), and Omega has OD'd on the use of the Seamaster moniker to a degree which I would charitably say is... confusing. Nevertheless, my Best Bond Watch choice would be a Seamaster as well, but the Planet Ocean 600M, a truly indestructible bad-ass tool watch. (I would add that Adrien's lead-up stories/choices were by far the best.)

I'm afraid you're all wrong. The Aqua Terra is well known for being a Bond watch. Before it appeared on film nobody gave a shit about it. The best Bond spy watch is the one nobody talks about. That is the Gruen dress watch worn by Connery in Dr No at the casino table when he announces his name for the very first time. But the overall hands down winner is the Rolex Submariner. The very watch that gave birth to the Bond watch. All others are wannabes. No contest.

The Rolex Big Crown in Goldfinger is THE Bond watch for me. It's the watch that all other Bond watches are judged by, and the look that Omega have tried to replicate for Daniel Craig, with varying results. The Goldfinger Rolex has zero gadgets, yet it's sophisticated presence (even on an undersized nato strap) screams Bond and essentially took Rolex to the next level at the time. A close second to me is the Goldeneye Seamaster. It goes without saying how iconic it is. I still believe to this day it's the most beautiful watch ever made, and I couldn't imagine Brosnan's Bond wearing anything else.

Great show guys! For me, the 2220.80 300m is the one! The watch is the epitome of cool in various shots in Venice, Italy. And, in an now-infamous scene left on the cutting room floor, Bond uses his otherwise featureless 300m as a knuckleduster - referencing Fleming’s OHMSS. It was a perfect “gadget” for Craig’s more grounded, more brutal portrayal of Bond, and I think at some point every reader of OHMSS who owns a SS watch on a bracelet has slid that watch over his/her wrist and questioned whether that would actually work.

No one mentioned the Rolex in Live and let die. I'm not sure which model it was, but it was a great gadget, with a magnetic field and spinning bezel that can cut through ropes. But I personally liked Andrew's choices, especially the No time to die( because I have one)omega Seamaster. 😊

Since the Seamaster 300 Diver (Quartz) from 'Goldeneye' got me into watches I will have to go with that one as the winner. My personal favorite Bond watch though has got to be the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial from 'Spectre'.

My vote is for the Rolex Submariner worn by Sean Connery. He was the best Bond and his four digit Sub, the best Bond watch. I also like the Casio Royale, a great (and ridiculously affordable) homage to the Seiko G757. The Rolex is unattainable to most, the Casio affordable by all - it is the democratization of the Bond watch for the masses.

As a purist you would have to go with Rolex, as Ian Fleming selected the brand. Otherwise it’s the Omega from No Time to Die. The Army issue branding and those colours are just much nicer than what they normally do. Nice blend of the modern style and some vintage

Agree with the Sub being the ultimate Bond watch. But there's a big flaw on the Seamaster No Time to Die. It has a British broad arrow marking it as property of the Ministry of Defence. A real spy wouldn't be caught dead with that tattooed on their watch. It's basically a sticker on your wrist admitting you work for the British government. As a spy, Imagine getting caught with that on your person in China. They'd execute you without a trial.

Great show thanks guys. My favourite Bond watch the Aqua Terra 231.10.42.21.03.004. I like the fact it’s quiet subtle and has the Bond family crest on the second had and I love the nine mill cartridge with the rifled effect on the rotor as seen through the open case back. I am lucky enough to own this watch and do enjoy wearing it.

I think the Heuer is really interesting. Especially because the UKSF really got "blacked-out" watches issued starting around 1987: The CWC SBS Diver. So I wonder if an advisor to the movie "Licence to Kill" told the director "... well our watches are blacked-out ... why don't you use something like that?"

Cracking content lads! It really is what's missing from the watch community of KZbin, real talk by knowledgable people, keep it up! I am more with Adrian on this one, the Omega Seamaster from NTTD really captures the essence of the tool watch, like Ian Fleming portrayed it in the novels. A not so striking piece, that is tough (seems like it), refined at the same time and gets the job done. A good follow-up in the conversation would be regarding the brand that could take the baton from Omega with the introduction of the new actor in the next film. A relatively new brand like Bremont with military style watches could be suitable. I would also enjoy a return from SEIKO with its many year experience in dive watches, which this year released a trio of dive watches in its 'Black Series PROSPEX' collection, a move reminiscent of the Tag Heuer Night Diver in TLD.
