Does anyone know what watch Bond will sport in the next movie(Filming now)The Rumors I have heard are the new watch is either a Black PO with Metal strap or black Seamaster.

JBat · 13 January 2008, 05:22 AM

I'll bet on the PO, given that the current SMP style is being discontinued.

Paperbill · 13 January 2008, 05:27 AM

Is that confirmed, is it being discontinued? Does that include the Bond blue face? I actually have the 2531.80and was thinking about the new 2220.80 because of the new movement.

Bond ought to wear a Rolex again!

I would be happy whether Bond wears Rolex or Omega. But the last few years, he has worn the "Bond" Seamaster.

Omega, in the last few years, has signed co-promotion deals with the owners of the James Bond movie franchise. They have as a tribute designated certain Seamaster models to be "Bond" models. But I haven't heard either way if they plan to promote the newer Planet Ocean model as the new Bond model or not.

Good one!

Well, George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton also wore Subs but didn't wear any hairpieces to my knowledge.

Texsubmariner · 13 January 2008, 08:42 AM

Why don't we ask our esteemed member, James Bond, himself?

ROGERB · 13 January 2008, 08:48 AM

The watch of James Bond in the next release is purpoted to be the 42mm PO black face/bezel on a SS strap...

The 2254 has been discontinued. It may reappear with a co-axial movement and WG surrounds however.

eb641 · 13 January 2008, 09:20 AM

Bond wears a Rolex on an expanding metal bracelet..It doubles well as a knuckle duster, as a member of the opposition could verify,were he still around..Omega and Bond? Don't make me laugh! .....Only faux Bonds wear Omegas, have blond hair, don't use PPK's or exhibit a combination of these defamations to the franchise.

Bond should wear a Submariner LV with a NATO strap. I have seen a picture here in the forum and it looks sharp. and I mean the wide strap, not the one he wore in one of the movies which is too thin for my taste.

roadcarver · 13 January 2008, 01:00 PM

What if Bond wears a Daytona? Those Chrono pushers can give it some nifty tricks.

They should. Bond was born to wear Rolex. He's the reason I have one now.

Yea, but the newest Bond is so cool I forgive his inferior taste in timepieces.

chris_nor_cal · 13 January 2008, 03:13 PM

question for you guys in the omega know. does omega restore their watches to original condition like rolex does when you send it in for service?

Tombstone · 13 January 2008, 03:52 PM

I second the motion Bond should wear a Rolex as it was written in the beginning.

CPCC · 13 January 2008, 04:10 PM

Bond has become synonymous with Omega now. Its going to be hard to change that perception and I'm sure that omega has too much invested to let that happen. After all, that is all that they have, now that the moon missions are over.

Yes, they do. I've not used them myself, but I've read very good things about Omega service. I have a 5 year old SMP about due for service, so this is relevant to me too.

John Holbrook did a nice write-up of his experience of getting his Aqua Terra serviced. Click this http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/se...gaservice.html

Faux Bond???? Bond does not exist to begin with.

These Bond posts are one step removed from "Lord of The Rings" forums.

Yeah, but it's the gilt dial, enclosed minute track, and big crown that always gets my attention. LOL!

Paperbill · 14 January 2008, 01:10 AM

The money spent by Omega for product placement in the Bond movies has paid off...heck I own 2 Omegas, the PO same as the one in Casino Royale and the Classic Seamaster used in Tomorrow Never Dies and others.

I would expect the relations to change soon, an interesting note they just switched Bond's clothing from Brioni to Dunhill. Know who ownes Dunhill? Richemont. Everyone know what watch companies Richemont ownes? Cartier. Piaget, Vacheron, Jaeger-LeCoultre, IWC, Panerai, Baume, MonteBlanc.

I would expect Bond 23 to have one of those brands and his watch.

In the 2006 movie Daniel Craig wore Brioni. Are you saying that in the new movie he'll be wearing Dunhill? Just wondering....
