List of James Bond Watches
Here is the entire list of the James Bond watches worn in all of the 26 James Bond movies so far.
Scenes of all the James Bond Watches
Here is an excellent video showing each scene that agent 007 wore a watch. It gives you a complete overview of the list of James Bond watches as seen on film.
1. Dr. No
Dr. No was the first James Bond movie and it was released in 1962.
Gruen Precision 510
Many online have missed this watch when they list all the James Bond watches from the movies.
A Gruen Precision 510 is the first watch ever worn by James Bond in the first scenes of Dr. No. Worn by Sean Connery in the first Bond movie.
We catch a glimpse of the watch on his wrist in the casino scene.
The Gruen Precision 510 is a dress watch. This watch had remained a mystery for decades. Until a watch curator identified it.
This watch is now on display at the National Watch & Clock Museum. A watch museum in Columbia, Pennsylvania. It’s got a permanent Bond watch exhibition.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538
The Rolex Submariner Ref. 6358 is James Bond’s second on-screen watch.
This watch is often simply referred to as the James Bond Submariner, or simply The Sub.
This Rolex came on the market first in 1955.
The textile strap appears to not fit the watch. As the strap only measures 16mm across, while the watch comes in at 20mm lug to lug.
It’s long been rumored that this watch came out of Sean Connery’s personal watch collection. Another theory is that the strap was from a member of the production team.
2. From Russia With Love
From Russia With Love was the second James Bond movie and it was released in 1963.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538
The second Bond movie came along, called From Russia With Love. And Bond is still wearing his trusty Rolex Submariner.
The first few watches in the Bond movie series were not equipped with any special weaponry. They just simply told the time.
The watch is again attached to a textile strap.
The Rolex Submariner Ref. 6358 is highly valuable now. With one valued by Sotheby’s as between $180k and $280k dollars.
3. Goldfinger
Goldfinger was the third James Bond movie and it was released in 1964.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538
The third Bond movie; Goldfinger. Bond again wears his Rolex Submariner Ref. 6358.
This watch is now often nicknamed the James Bond NATO.
However, this is a little misguided since the NATO strap wasn’t even invented when Sean Connery wore it in the Bond movies with his Rolex.
The NATO strap wasn’t introduced until 1973 by the British Ministry of Defense.
However, there were plenty of other textile straps around at the time. That was similar to what’s now called the NATO strap.
4. Thunderball
Thunderball was the fourth James Bond movie and it was released in 1965.
Breitling Navitimer 806
In the 1965 James Bond movie; Thunderball. Two Breitling watches are featured.
The first isn’t worn by James Bond, played by Sean Connery. Instead Bond presents the watch in his hand to bond girl, Domino.
The Breitling Navitimer 806 is a pilot watch. Which suited the owner of the watch in the movie; François Derval. Who was a pilot.
Breitling Top Time
The second Breitling watch in Thunderball, was a modified Breitling Top Time.
This timepiece was given to Bond by Q. It is was a chronograph.
However, the watch was fitted with a new case for the movie. Which blocked the pushers of the chronograph. The new case and strap gave the watch a distinct look.
The luxury watch auction house, Christie’s. Sold the watch in 2013. It was sold for around $160k.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538
The final watch that Bond wore in Thunderball. Was his trusty Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538. With the too small textile watch strap.
This is the final time that this watch is worn by James Bond.
5. You Only Live Twice
You Only Live Twice was the fifth James Bond movie and it was released in 1967.
Gruen Precision 510
Again we only see this watch briefly in the Bond movie; You Only Live Twice.
The watch is believed to be the Gruen Precision 510. Again the same Gruen Precision dress watch. That he also wore in Dr. No.
6. On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service was the sixth James Bond movie and it was released in 1969.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513
The Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513, is the first Rolex we see in the Bond movie; On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
It’s the only time the Australian actor, George Lazenby, plays the 007 agent.
This luxury Rolex dive watch has a very modern look. It was a larger watch for the time, with a 40mm case. Beefed up the crown guards.
Its water resistance stood at 200 meters. Which was the same as the other dive watches featured in the other previous Bond movies.
Rolex Pre-Daytona Chronograph Ref. 6238
The second Rolex that George Lanzeby wears playing Bond in the 6th movie. Is the Rolex Pre-Daytona Chronograph Ref. 6238.
Featuring a customized red chronograph hand. That makes it stand out.
You might ask what does a Rolex Pre-Daytona refer to?
A Collected Man sums up the Pre-Daytona as a Rolex chronograph:
- Made before the release of the Ref. 6239
- With an Oyster case
- Three subdials
- Round pump-pushers
- A reference in the “6000” numbers
This Pre-Daytona Chronograph has been featured in a number of watch auctions over the years.
Yet, the recent sale amounts have not been disclosed. And chronographs with red hands, that aren’t the Bond watch have also appeared at auction too.
The Ref 6238 timepiece was the last chronograph released by Rolex, before the iconic Cosmograph Ref. 6239 was released. Nicknamed the Daytona.
7. Diamonds Are Forever
Diamonds Are Forever was the seventh James Bond movie and it was released in 1971.
Sean Connery played the 007 agent again for the second last time. However the watch he wore in Diamonds Are Forever still remains a mystery.
8. Live And Let Die
Live And Let Die was the eighth James Bond movie and it was released in 1973.
Hamilton Pulsar P2 2900 LED
The first watch to appear in the 8th Bond movie was a groundbreaking watch.
As the Hamilton Pulsar P2 2900 LED was the start of the quartz watch period in James Bond watches.
As well as one of the watches contributing to the quartz crisis in the watch industry in the 70s and 80s.
Hamilton released this watch in 1972. It was the first watch that was a solid, mass-produced, digital timepiece. With no moving parts, like mechanical watches have.
It was the first digital, quartz timepiece to make an appearance.
James Bond was played by Roger Moore for the first time too.
He demonstrates the watch’s ability to light up and show the digital time, twice. To make sure that we as an audience know how this new watch works.
Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513
The second watch to appear in Roger Moore’s debut as Bond is the Rolex Submariner Ref. 5513. The main timepiece of this movie.
This dive watch is considered the last of the classic Rolex Submariners. And was Rolex’s non-chronometer Submariner. First introduced in 1962.
The Rolex Submariner is modified to help Bond get out of a few tough situations. The watch has a buzz saw, handy for cutting binds. It also has a high-powered magnet too.
The timepiece was put up for auction. At one of the leading watch auction houses. Which was Philips, in Geneva.
The original Rolex from the movie was signed ‘Roger Moore 007’ on the case back. And it sold over the estimate, for around $365,000 dollars in 2015.
Tissot Seastar PR 516
This watch wasn’t meant to feature in the movie. Yet, it did.
A Tissot Seastar PR 516, from Roger Moore’s own watch collection.
They were clearly a little more relaxed back then with what watch was worn in the movie. As it briefly features in a few scenes of the Live And Let Die movie.
Instead of the main timepiece, the Rolex Sub.
9. The Man With The Golden Gun
The Man With The Golden Gun was the ninth James Bond movie and it was released in 1974.
