In 1973 when I was 18 years old, I saw the Submariner in Live & Let Die. I was smitten and have worn this watch since I was 19-years-old.

[@jaminNM]

You are a man with great foresight

[@m.e.p.r]

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 😉

[@marcusflack1523]

Ooooooo now that’s a freaking interesting observation.

[@matthewhelm3035]

Ian Fleming indeed sported an Explorer 1016. And Bond probably did as well in the books though Fleming never spelled out the model. Just that Bond wore a Rolex. And it did double duty as a good “knuckle buster.”

[@m.e.p.r]

@@matthewhelm3035 Has Bond ever used his watch as a knuckle duster in any Bond film to date? How has Omega not seized this opportunity? 👊🏻😍

[@chrisselders3548]

Agree. The other companies bought their way in. Automatic disqualification IMO. And I’m sick to death of Rolex content. That said, the first Bond film I remember had Connery wearing a Submariner. So that’s “Bond’s watch” in my brain. GMT is my grail, so it pleases me that Pussy Galore wears one.

[@vianouche1]

That is because they did not read the books...

[@Hard_7_Iron]

I do agree with Adrian’s take…the “No Time to Die” Bond watch was a truly great watch. I only have one “CLASSIC” watch in my life. IT’S AN OMEGA. They are exactly what a person needs as a daily for a lifetime. Omega Seamaster 300 Chronograph. It does everything you need in a watch.

[@bonsaipiper3773]

Stainless steel and rose gold of course.

[@alfieakaronaldog]

You 00Mega guys are so funny. Zero self confidence and so cult like. Its Spectre that should have worn Omegas in Bond movies lol

[@oysterman962]

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

[@JSarmat86]

To me, the Aqua Terra is the ultimate Bond watch. It's a dress watch, it's elegant but it flies under radar and it has some extra features under the hood that you don't expect from a dress watch - just like a real spy.

[@AboutEffingTime]

I agree. I really should have pushed my choice more. I think AT is a perfect do anything watch. Cheers, Adrian

[@christophedebretagne29]

Best watch of all time !! It has it all !!

[@alfieakaronaldog]

What twaddle. You just like/have an Aquaterra lol. It’s very overweight for a dress watch, but that would be good for fitting the gadgets in. There is no perfect one watch per movie watch for Bond. He certainly would not wear a shop window watch in some of the high end places he hangs out!

[@michaelg8258]

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.)

[@oysterman962]

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.

[@EpicMidge]

Best Bond watch: yes its been said before many a time over, but Connery's Sub on a nato is pure stealth wealth with a military vibe. 100% Bond!

[@daygon128]

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.

[@porterhouse_]

The 60's when a secret agent could afford a Rolex... paired with a three dollar watch band, the ultimate in unaffected cool... Bond should have been left in that time, everything that's come since is a letdown!

[@oysterman962]

This show was sponsored by Omega. They paid for R@#x not to be mentioned.

[@robertp5123]

Although everyone had some really great picks, Adrian really hit it out of the park. The latest “No Time to Die “ Omega watch is an incredible tool watch. This watch is so light you almost do not feel you are wearing a watch on your wrist. The Aqua Terra is definitely underrated. It is such an elegant and classic watch.

[@Sjn2542]

One of the most underrated omega currently is the seamaster Railmaster with the patina markers 3,6,9,12 and lollipop seconds hands, time only 🔥

[@Richspjones]

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. The Group B aqua on a yellow strap is one of my favourites on my collection, soon to be joined by a Vallelunga in grey. Beautiful! Egging cheers!

[@ericl755]

Fully agree with you man. Aquaterra is the bond watch: efficient, discret and can be dressy.

I agree with Adrian, AT it is! May look boring and blends in the background, but it’s true that it has to be and that. Otherwise you’re no longer undercover…. (Happens to be my initials too!)

[@gorskic]

The NTTD Seamaster was the first modern mechanical watch I’d tried on in many years and nearly ruined me for anything else. But my vote is for the original Seamaster 300M Diver. That watch was cool in the 90s and it’s still cool.

5513 Sub from Live and Let Die... Or the 6538 from Connery's era

[@ygrbooks]

You might want to give your audience a complete list, so you should have added the Tissot PR-516, which is worn by Roger Moore in "Live And Let Die." It has by far the most spectacular dial of any of the Bond watches. And it has the added advantage of not being a Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Seiko ...

[@PhilMarlowe392]

great episode! Like the loose formatted ones but also like the tighter format!

[@cecedabo]

so may diffrent options to choose from. From Seiko to Breitling. From Omega to Rolex. I absolut love my Nttd

[@ritethumstik]

Brosnan and Goldeneye were instrumental in starting my love for watches, as that was my first Bond movie. I've always loved the Seamaster and all it's iterations, especially the No Time to Die. That being said, Connery's original Submariner is the peak Bond watch for me. I'd happily take either in my collection though 🙌🏼 another fantastic episode, lads. I was happy to see Breitling and Seiko mentioned!

[@andrecarre2017]

Great fun show, but how could the Submariner not even get a mention?

[@Daavi85]

I'd go with the Planet Ocean 2500, that watch is still one of if not the best looking modern Omega diver's IMO, 42mm matte black dial/black bezel with white tri arabics "open 6 & 9 font" awesome! The aesthetics are drawn from the classic Seamasters of the late 60's while being a modern robust 600m diver, I'm a fan of the model, I think it gets overshadowed but to me the classic design is timeless. BTW love those wall clocks guys, very cool 👍

[@davidweisbruch4869]

[@brandontran4180]

I would say the SPECTRE Seamaster 300 is my favourite Bond watch. It has the elegance and functional nature suited for Bond. Plus, the black/grey NATO strap is badass. It is one of the few Bond watches where it was love at first sight for me.

[@Timeandtidewatches]

This is the one I regret not backing in - a travesty it wasn’t mentioned

Love so much the No time to die version that i bought one a year ago. Never looked back since. Great watch to wear and quite versatile

[@harryhlloyd]

I'm so glad Bamford said the night diver. I love their reissue of this watch. Very tactical, almost metal gear solid vibe.

[@philw4053]

Flemming wrote that Bond wore Rolex in the books. He wore an explorer 1 and from the references in the book (simple but robust) you've got to assume that's what he was thinking when he wrote the part. So it's at least got to be a Rolex.

[@jamesbaum9775]

Connery wore a Rolex Submariner in 'Dr No', 'From Russia With Love' and 'Goldfinger', but yeah the Explorer 1 was the original Bond watch.

[@pjs2409]

If you actually read the books Fleming doesnt specify Explorer or Submariner. He merely refers to the Rolex as an 'oyster perpetual'..........

[@MrGaberacer]

New NTD omega and Aqua Terra fit best the modern bond and I can relate the most with them as I own a white dial SMP which is a killer watch. The older Omegas suit the Pierce Brosnan excellent as well . What I’m trying to say that each era had its own quirky watch that suited the movies of the time, but technologically, the latest ones are clearly for me at least , the coolest.

[@marcusflack1523]

Bloody well thought through answer Gabriel. I think you nailed it re the watch appropriate for the era vibes.

@@thegorn @…. And wow. Sooo convincing you are. Let me provide you with real data. Rolex, the owner and creator of the the Daytona just so happens to categorize their watches - Women & Mens. And if you took some time to review, there are 70 pages of watches (via phone) showing 980 women’s watches. Now, this might hurt your brain but wouldn’t you know - no Daytona listed under women’s watch category. Fascinating stuff isn’t it?

TAG Heuer? Did not see that coming. This was actually a refreshing take on Bond watches. I mean, you're all wrong of course, because...Submariner.

[@StevenMc7]

I am an owner of the Omega „no time to die“.. it is really great watch !!

[@AwkwardHorology]

For me in terms of looks I loved the SPECTRE omega seamaster, but there are so many good ones, Sean Connery’s Rolex Sunny, Breitling Top Time, Roger Moore’s Rolex stubby (my personal favourite), Daltons Tag Heuer professional 2000m and the slew of omega seamasters since pierce and Craig’s era.

[@oysterman962]

Scaramanga's Rolex King Midas and ST Dupont lighter that transforms into the golden gun.

[@bboness713]

Finally someone ripping dainty watches. A men's watch should be 40mm at the very smallest imho

[@tewaarathon215]

I'd go the Gruen Precision, the first Bond watch that appeared on screen. Only the real Bond nerds would recognise it as a bond watch, and it reminds me of my Grandfather's watch (but his was an Omega).

[@iain772]

Rolex submariner 6538 and the omega seamaster 2541.80/2531.80, both have influenced my love for watches

[@VMIyanks04]

Idea for another show… comparing watches to cars… e.g. Rolex = Porsche (a formula that works, only subtle changes over time)… Patek = Rolls Royce (hand made, limited quantity)… AP = Bentley; Omega = Mercedes… etc

[@zynetik]

My take on the best Bond watch is the OG Bond watch: Sean Connery's 5 digit sub on a Bond NATO (before they were even a thing). Personally, I'd love a two tone Sub on Bond's wrist paired with a vintage Bond NATO strap.

[@b_altmann]

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

[@oysterman962]

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.

[@jackiemoon_lms]

What floored me is you guys digging the American accent while all us Americans dig your accent. I never knew it went both ways!

[@danielhumphries6252]

For me the bond watch is an Omega. I grew up in the Brosnan era, so the Omega connection might be a generational thing. But you can't beat a Seamaster for the ultimate spy timepiece!

[@Dewl_]

Proud owner of a top time 2002, bloody love it

[@ericiscereal1664]

Best episode yet! Loved every single one of the choices, but Adrian with the submissions of the Seamaster 300 and the Aqua Terra is the winner for me! Both watches pack so much punch yet are not overly flashy. Perfect choices for a spy!

[@sags6011]

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. 😊

Great show again folks! Particularly the BYOI section is great to learn about new brands. Have to agree with Adrian that the aqua terra would make a superb spy watch. Fantastic ,understated and great functionality . My favourite watch was the NTTD Omega which is class!

[@SmokinJough]

I'm older so my perspective is different the definitive Bond watch is a Rolex 5512 with an 18mm gray and black nato.

[@timinh0]

Awesome show guys! Omega Planet Ocean 2500 would be my pick. Military vibes, super rugger, but also wearable with a suit

[@Daavi85]

I'd have to agree, the Planet Ocean 2500 is still aesthetically one of my favorite modern Omega divers.

[@7rslender]

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?"

[@mitchmitchell9588]

Best episode yet. Brevity is the essence of wit. The shorter time frame and the very well-framed questions (I like the grail watch question too) helped increase the discussion’s focus. Bamford’s picks were def the choice of a designer; I really like the Top Time. Great analysis in support of the Seikos. But the NTTD is kinda hands down, enit? It was like a Tyson fight. Good job gents.

[@Evelien.p]

Really, not even mentioning the Rolex Explorer or Submariner? The Submariner is my all-time favorite Bond watch.

[@Chase28ify]

Submariner ‘Buzz Saw’ Live & Let Die went into my subconscious and ignited my passion for watches. The Golden Eye 2541.80 then took the torch. I purchased the new NTTD version, 210.90.42 but didn’t ‘Bond’ with it at all. Too expensive for what it is. The broad arrow on the dial also kills it for me.

[@marcusflack1523]

Yeah the buzz saw does take the cake

[@dannyg6592]

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.

[@wisamal-hakim5531]

‘I hate anything that has the 007 logo on it’ to quote Adrian. Doesn’t the no time to die omega have a logo on the back? Precisely what put me off. Anyway my favourite was the one with the saw from live and let die

[@AboutEffingTime]

When it’s part of the design, that’s when it’s bad.

[@jamesbaum9775]

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'.

[@jamesrobert4106]

I liked it so much I bought it and still own it.

[@d_ruby]

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.

[@georgeho-tung7816]

The Bronson blue dive watch is the one that I want. I don’t know how that isn’t the best bond watch of all time. I got a AT and a Casio Royal as a homage to the Sieko from octopussy but may heart is in that blue sea master

[@matth4680]

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.

[@modern3272]

For me not the ultimate but coolest is the Gruen Precision 510 that Sean Connery wears in the first ever scene he’s in dr. No at the casino simply because the Gruen watch co was based in Cincinnati Ohio my home town.

I'm amazed the Casino Royale Planet Ocean didn't get a look in. For me, the PO is the definitive Craig-era Bond watch. Having a heavy duty diving watch on a utilitarian rubber strap was perfect as it was such a departure from the slightly preening, prissy Brosnan era and marked a return to basics. What better way to announce a tough, rugged, no nonsense new Bond than to give him a watch embodied these qualities?

[@tyyven]

They are making a really good job with different models in the Bond movies. For me the favorite are prob the Omega from Spectre together with Q:s comment when he gives it to Bond. When Bond asks "Does it do anything? and Q answer " It tells the time" =) And second one are the one from casino royale.

Great discussion, thank you. I am a HUGE Bond fan and own every movie, apart from the last one. I think the latest Bond Seamaster, like Daniel Craig, is rather overbearing. In my opinion, Bond was never to be taken that seriously and the lizard-mouthed somberness was misplaced, as is his watch…. but that is just me. I have the Night Diver from 1982 and the original 1995 Bond Omega in quartz, both still in as new condition. The only Bond watch that I would love to add, but never will be able to afford, is the Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610. Thanks again, guys!

[@r6ymy]

I love the look of the No Time To Die Seamaster. Tried one on, as a guy with a 6.2" wrist the Milanese bracelet didn't work for me, but it was great on the Nato, however I just couldn't justify the price over a standard Seamaster.

It's the Rolex Submariner for me, the other watches are all product placement apart from the Gruen worn in Casio Royale

[@vianouche1]

Agreed!! But this is too obvious for the sophisticated "experts" delivering this podcast

19:16 really goosebumps moment, the amount of time you have watched a Seamaster time after time in Bond movies as you also grew up, priceless...literally goosebumps

My favourite bond watch one is the Seiko that Andrew mentioned! I’ve owned seamasters in the past, and prefer the older ceramic version ones to any of the wave dials (new or old version). Having said that, I’m not a fan of his RO. I saw one at a boutique this week and it just isn’t worth 21k let alone the absurd prices being asked in the secondary market.

At least we agree on the key topic! Thanks for watching - Andrew

This just popped up in my feed! Connery is James Bond, Rolex is James Bond, first, on Fleming arm, then in his novels, then in the movies, and Rolex wasn't amused! I purchased my Submariner for $300 US when i was 17 yrs old, after Thunderball, three months pay from delivering newspapers. I loved and appreciate y'all choices, i actually learned new stuff! but its like discussing the New Testament and ignoring The Torah!
