James Bond Watches is an evolving research site. Our goal is to provide the broadest range and most accurate content on "the James Bond watch" — all brought together in one place.

Presently, "the James Bond" watch means Omega and Quantum of Solace with Daniel Craig as 007. We're excited about that, too. But we're just as interested in the first James Bond watch referenced by Ian Fleming in the novel, Casino Royale. And, for that matter, in the personal tastes in time keeping among all who've had such great influence on this fantastic subject of study, which includes Mr. Fleming and beyond. Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli. Harry Saltzman. Terence Young. Et cetera.

Pierce Brosnan introduced the current brand when he strapped on a Seamaster quartz in GoldenEye. Just one film before, Timothy Dalton concluded his tenure with a Rolex Submariner Date, bookending what many erroneously believe was the first James Bond watch on screen with Sean Connery as 007 Dr. No: The Rolex Submariner. Roger Moore is perhaps best known for his Seiko affiliation, but did you know that the watch Hamilton Pulsar he wore for his debut marks its own landmark in horology?

We're equally fascinated by these models as we are in the very first James Bond wristwatch modified by Q-Branch, the Breitling Top Time "Geiger counter" in Thunderball, the pre-Daytona chronograph worn by George Lazenby, and even the illusive timepiece worn by Barry Nelson as Jimmy Bond on television.

James Bond Watches grew out of a lifelong interest in horology, 007 gadgets, and style. References and actual wristwatches were collected over the years, but things got serious in 2006 when we were the first to positively identify the new Casino Royale watch. A lot was being written on the Internet, but depth was often lacking, truly original sources seldom cited, and content was mostly duplicated from duplicates.

All that has changed. Welcome to James Bond Watches!
