The association between James Bond and watches dates back to the early days of the film franchise. In the James Bond series, the character of Bond has been depicted as a stylish and sophisticated spy who wears luxury timepieces. Over the years, several watch brands have been featured in the movies, but Omega has become the official watch of James Bond since 1995. Here’s a brief history of James Bond watches:

1. Rolex Submariner: In the early Bond films, from “Dr. No” (1962) to “Licence to Kill” (1989), James Bond wore a Rolex Submariner. The specific model worn by Bond varied throughout the films.
2. Seiko: In “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977) and “Moonraker” (1979), James Bond briefly wore a Seiko watch, the Seiko M354 Memory-Bank Calendar.
3. TAG Heuer: In “A View to a Kill” (1985), Bond wore a TAG Heuer Professional Night-Dive Reference 980.031.
4. Omega: In 1995, with the release of “GoldenEye,” the James Bond franchise switched to Omega as the official watch brand for the films. Pierce Brosnan, who portrayed Bond in the 1990s and early 2000s, wore various Omega models, including the Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Quartz and Omega Seamaster Professional 300M Chronometer.
5. Omega Seamaster: Since then, Omega Seamaster watches have been prominently featured in all subsequent Bond films, including those starring Daniel Craig as Bond. Craig has worn different variations of the Omega Seamaster, including the Seamaster Diver 300M and the Seamaster Planet Ocean. Each film introduced a new iteration of the Seamaster, often with special limited editions tied to the movie’s release.
