007 a.k.a. James Bond has always been looking sharp and geared with the best equipments, including  his cars, suits, and watches. Since making its debut with 1962&#8217;s &#8220;Dr. No&#8221; until the recent announcement of a new Omega for &#8220;No Time to Die&#8221; hitting the theater this April, the James Bond franchise seems to have a knack for featuring serious horology on the big screen.

The spy&#8217;s love for horology was born as the manifestation of Sir Ian Fleming&#8217;s passion for watches. It does not only prompted one of the best marketing as well as legendary partnership deals of all time, but one could ponder upon the idea of whether Bond was actually a watch nerd.
We take a look back at some of the most iconic watches that the fictional action hero has managed to strap on his wrist.
<h2>Breitling Top Time</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-69376 aligncenter" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2-Connery-TopTime-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2-Connery-TopTime-300x200.jpg 300w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2-Connery-TopTime-768x512.jpg 768w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2-Connery-TopTime-315x210.jpg 315w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/2-Connery-TopTime.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Film: &#8220;Thunderball&#8221; (1965) 
Actor who played James Bond: Sean Connery
It was in the fourth instalment Q Branch provided Bond with a modified <a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/?s=breitling">Breitling</a> Top Time Chronograph that also functions as a Geiger counter to measure radiation—making it the first watch-turned-gadget in the whole franchise. Fun fact: The exact same Breitling somehow made its way to an English flea market in 2013, where it was purchased for only £25. Sometime later, the owner then resold the watch for over £100,000 at auction.
<h2>Seiko G757 Sports 100</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-69383 aligncenter" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/14004440c_zoom_v1580471693516-294x300.jpg" alt="" width="294" height="300" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/14004440c_zoom_v1580471693516-294x300.jpg 294w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/14004440c_zoom_v1580471693516-768x785.jpg 768w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/14004440c_zoom_v1580471693516-1002x1024.jpg 1002w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/14004440c_zoom_v1580471693516-315x322.jpg 315w" sizes="(max-width: 294px) 100vw, 294px" />
Film: &#8220;Octopussy&#8221; (1983) 
Actor who played James Bond: Roger Moore
Digital watches were on the rise by the mid to late 1970s, and <a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/sir-roger-moores-legacy-of-style/">Roger Moore’s debut as Agent 007</a> introduced a new era for the franchise itself. He quickly established a reputation of the spy who preferred cutting edge digital timepieces than classic Swiss-made watches, and comes in the list of <a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/?s=seiko">Seiko&#8217;s</a>.
Making an appearance in one of the most scandalous franchise titles was the Seiko G757 Sports 100. It has the ability to follow a tracking device by way of a digital red dot on the screen alongside a functional digital chronograph.
<h2>TAG Heuer Professional Night-Dive Reference 980.031</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-69377 aligncenter" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tag-heuer-980-300x149.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="149" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tag-heuer-980-300x149.jpg 300w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tag-heuer-980-768x380.jpg 768w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tag-heuer-980-315x156.jpg 315w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/tag-heuer-980.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Film: &#8220;The Living Daylights&#8221; (1987) 
Actor who played James Bond: Timothy Dalton
In 1987, Timothy Dalton was announced that he will be replacing Roger Moore as the new Bond. Dalton became one of the lesser adored Bond, with many standing in his defence as the &#8220;misunderstood Bond&#8221; for bringing a hard and less humorous edge to the character as well as the franchise. Given the new Bond vibe means a new watch to complement it: hence the more serious <a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/?s=TAG+heuer">TAG Heuer</a> Professional Night-Dive Reference 980.031 quartz dive was Bond&#8217;s selection of timepiece.
<h2>Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Ref. 2541.80</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-69378 aligncenter" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz-300x300.jpg 300w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz-150x150.jpg 150w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz-768x768.jpg 768w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz-315x315.jpg 315w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-2541-seamaster-james-bond-watch-quartz.jpg 2000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
Film: &#8220;Goldeneye&#8221; (1995) 
Actor who played James Bond: Pierce Brosnan
This Seamaster is the OG that would pave the way for many more 007 Seamasters to come. In the mid-90&#8217;s, the James Bond franchise was having its resurgence thanks to the sharp looks and sly demeanour of newly appointed Irish actor Pierce Brosnan tackling the lead role. 1995’s “Goldeneye” also introduced Omega as the franchise’s official watch partner. Making its debut was the <a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/?s=omega">Omega</a> Seamaster Professional 300M Ref. 2541.80 quartz dive watch that could shoot a laser and contains a built-in detonator—thanks to none other than Q Branch.
<h2>Omega Seamaster Professional Planet Ocean 600 Ref. 2900.50.91</h2>
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-69384 aligncenter" src="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-big-size-29005091-l-218x300.png" alt="" width="218" height="300" srcset="https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-big-size-29005091-l-218x300.png 218w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-big-size-29005091-l-768x1056.png 768w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-big-size-29005091-l-745x1024.png 745w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-big-size-29005091-l-315x433.png 315w, https://backend.daman.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-big-size-29005091-l.png 800w" sizes="(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px" />
Film: &#8220;Casino Royale&#8221; (2006) 
Actor who played James Bond: Daniel Craig
Just when we thought the perfect Bond was sealed by Pierce Brosnan, 2006 came the uber-serious <a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/da-man-style-icon-daniel-craig/">Daniel Craig</a> who took us back to square one of how the whole franchise began. Between the two &#8220;Casino Royale&#8221; watches—being the automatic Seamaster with a co-axial escapement and the Seamaster Planet Ocean—we had to go with the later. Apart from seeing a fresh new black dial compared to the usual blue ones since &#8220;Goldeneye&#8221;, it simply shows how sturdy the watch is when its kept strapped in Bond&#8217;s wrist while running around being chased by African militia compared to&#8230;rolling in an Aston?

Film: Spectre (2015) 
Actor who played James Bond: Daniel Craig
Also known as the Spectre Seamaster, Daniel Craig gets his first tricked out the watch in the form of an Omega Seamaster 300. Designed exclusively for the film, the watch features a NATO strap and comes equipped with explosive capabilities. Earlier in the film, Bond was also be spotted wearing an Aqua Terra model (<a href="https://backend.daman.co.id/watch-omega-creates-a-watch-for-james-bond-2/">which went on for sale</a>) with a black dial.
