The Complete List of Bond Watches: Every 007 Film, 1962–2021

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

The complete list of Bond watches covers the 25 official 007 films from Dr. No (1962) through No Time to Die (2021): early films feature Rolex and Gruen, Roger Moore’s era adds Hamilton and Seiko technology, Dalton wears Cartier, TAG Heuer and Rolex, and OMEGA becomes Bond’s recurring watch partner from GoldenEye (1995) onward.

That chronology is more complicated than a single-brand answer suggests. Several films show more than one watch, some watches serve as plot gadgets, and public specialist sources do not agree on every exact reference. The list below separates strong cinematic associations from commonly accepted, disputed, and unresolved identifications.

Key takeaways

  • The official cinematic Bond watch story covers 25 007 films from Dr. No (1962) through No Time to Die (2021), excluding the non-equivalent 1967 Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again.
  • The Rolex Submariner reference 6538 is the defining early-film Bond watch, although Connery’s films also feature the Gruen Precision reference 510.
  • Roger Moore’s era made Bond’s wristwear visibly technological through the Hamilton Pulsar II and multiple Seiko digital, quartz, chronograph, alarm, and dive watches.
  • Timothy Dalton’s two films form a transition period featuring Cartier, TAG Heuer, and Rolex rather than one dominant brand.
  • OMEGA’s cinematic Bond association begins with GoldenEye in 1995 and continues through the Seamaster, Planet Ocean, Aqua Terra, and 007 Edition models.
  • A complete list cannot make every exact reference equally certain: some identifications are commonly accepted, while others remain disputed or under investigation.

What counts as the complete list of Bond watches?

This list covers the 25 official films in the main 007 series, following the scope of the official James Bond film catalogue. The 1967 spoof Casino Royale and the independently produced Never Say Never Again are not counted as equivalent EON entries.

Watch references come primarily from specialist film-watch chronologies, especially the James Bond Watches movie-by-movie database, with official OMEGA and Seiko material used to clarify the brands’ documented histories. The labels in the tables are deliberate: “commonly accepted” means the identification is widely repeated by specialist sources, “possible” marks a disputed reference, and “under investigation” means the available public evidence does not settle the complete on-screen inventory.

GQ’s June 10, 2026 chronological overview reports 26 watch appearances across 25 films. That count is useful, but it should be attributed to GQ rather than treated as an uncontested production total, because some films contain more than one watch and some exact references remain debated.

How to interpret the Bond watch list
Label Meaning How to use it
Strong cinematic association The watch is clearly visible or strongly supported by screen and production evidence. Use it when you want the best-known film identification, such as the Rolex Submariner 6538.
Commonly accepted Specialist sources generally agree, but the film does not always provide a readable reference number. Use the model and reference with a qualification rather than presenting every detail as certain.
Disputed or possible More than one exact reference has been proposed. Preserve the competing references, as with the two Rolex claims for Licence to Kill.
Under investigation Additional appearances or exact details have not been settled by the available research. Do not turn an unresolved appearance into a definitive model identification.

What watches did Sean Connery and George Lazenby wear as Bond?

Sean Connery’s Bond is associated chiefly with the Rolex Submariner reference 6538, but the Gruen Precision reference 510 also appears throughout specialist chronologies. George Lazenby’s single film adds the Rolex Submariner 5513 and Rolex 6238 chronograph to the early cinematic record.

Sean Connery and George Lazenby Bond watches
Film Watch or watches identified Evidence status and significance
Dr. No (1962) Gruen Precision 510; Rolex Submariner 6538 Specialist identifications. The Submariner 6538 is the stronger cultural association, but the Gruen shows that Connery’s Bond was not represented as wearing only one watch.
From Russia with Love (1963) Rolex Submariner 6538; Gruen Precision 510 The Submariner is the commonly identified dive watch; the Gruen is also listed in specialist chronologies.
Goldfinger (1964) Rolex Submariner 6538; Gruen Precision 510 The 6538 remains the key identification and helped cement the visual connection between Bond and the Submariner.
Thunderball (1965) Rolex Submariner 6538; Gruen Precision; Breitling Top Time 2002 The Breitling is a story gadget fitted with a Geiger-counter function, making it more than ordinary wristwear within the plot.
You Only Live Twice (1967) Gruen Precision 510 The specialist chronology lists the Gruen Precision reference 510.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969) Rolex Submariner 5513; Rolex 6238 chronograph George Lazenby’s Bond is associated with both watches; the 6238 is often described as a pre-Daytona chronograph.
Diamonds Are Forever (1971) Gruen Precision; Rolex Submariner 5513 The specialist list identifies both the Gruen and the 5513 Submariner.

The early-film answer to “Which Rolex did James Bond wear?” is therefore not a single reference across every scene. The Rolex Submariner 6538 is the iconic Connery-era answer, while the 5513 becomes the important Submariner reference in the Lazenby and Moore periods.

How did Roger Moore’s Bond watches become more technological?

Roger Moore’s films shift Bond’s wristwear from the traditional mechanical dive watch toward visible quartz, LED, memory-bank, alarm, chronograph, and professional-dive technology. The Hamilton Pulsar and Seiko watches make the gadget-era change especially clear.

Seiko’s official heritage material documents the historical importance of its Professional Diver’s 600m titanium-cased diver, introduced in 1975. That background helps explain why the Seiko Professional Diver’s 600m in For Your Eyes Only is more than a generic quartz-era prop.

Roger Moore Bond watches by film
Film Watch or watches identified Evidence status and function
Live and Let Die (1973) Rolex Submariner 5513; Hamilton Pulsar II 2900 Both are identified in specialist chronologies. The mechanical Submariner shares the screen with the landmark LED digital Hamilton.
The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) Rolex Submariner 5513 The specialist chronology identifies the 5513 Submariner.
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) Seiko Quartz LC, DK001 / 0674-5009 The commonly identified Seiko quartz watch marks the move toward visibly electronic Bond equipment.
Moonraker (1979) Seiko Quartz LC Memory-Bank Calendar, SFX003 / M354-5019 The watch is identified as the Seiko memory-bank calendar model.
For Your Eyes Only (1981) Seiko Professional Diver’s 600m 7549-7009; Seiko H357-5040 Alarm-Chronograph The film combines a professional dive watch with an alarm-chronograph model. Seiko’s heritage record provides historical context for the 600m diver.
Octopussy (1983) Seiko G757-5020 Sports 100, WLK005 This is the commonly cited watch. Additional watch appearances remain under investigation in specialist listings.
A View to a Kill (1985) Seiko 6923-8080; Seiko 7A28-7020 chronograph; Seiko H558-5000 diver The list includes three Seiko identifications spanning dress-style, chronograph, and diver formats.

For the specific question “What watch did Roger Moore wear in The Spy Who Loved Me?”, the answer is the Seiko Quartz LC, model DK001, reference 0674-5009. For Live and Let Die, the answer is deliberately two-part: the Rolex Submariner 5513 and Hamilton Pulsar II 2900.

What watches did Timothy Dalton wear as Bond?

Timothy Dalton’s Bond wears Cartier, TAG Heuer, and Rolex across only two films, so the Dalton era is best understood as a transition rather than a single-brand period.

Licence to Kill (1989) Rolex Submariner 168000 or Rolex Submariner 16610 Both references are presented as possible identifications for the film’s date-equipped Rolex. The exact reference should remain disputed rather than being reduced to one number.

The Licence to Kill entry illustrates why reference numbers need careful handling. A reader searching for “the Rolex in Licence to Kill” should see both 168000 and 16610, not a falsely definitive single answer.

When did OMEGA become Bond’s recurring watch brand?

OMEGA’s Bond association begins with GoldenEye in 1995, when Pierce Brosnan’s Bond wears the blue Seamaster Professional 300M. OMEGA’s official history describes the relationship as continuing through the Seamaster line and states that OMEGA watches have been part of 007’s attire since GoldenEye.

OMEGA describes the purpose of the partnership this way: “Our partnership with James Bond is a chance to be creative, while highlighting our qualities of style and reliability.” — OMEGA, official James Bond partnership history.

Pierce Brosnan Bond watches
Film Watch identified Evidence status
GoldenEye (1995) OMEGA Seamaster Professional 300M, commonly identified as 2541.80 OMEGA officially dates the start of its Bond association to this film; the 2541.80 reference is the commonly cited film identification.
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997) OMEGA Seamaster Professional Chronometer 300M 2531.80 Commonly identified in specialist film-watch chronologies.
The World Is Not Enough (1999) OMEGA Seamaster Professional Chronometer 300M 2531.80 The same commonly identified 2531.80 continues in the chronology.
Die Another Day (2002) OMEGA Seamaster Professional 300M 2531.80 Commonly cited as the film’s Bond watch.

The Brosnan-era answer to “What OMEGA watch does James Bond wear?” is usually the blue Seamaster Professional 300M, with the 2531.80 becoming the recurring reference after GoldenEye. The 1995 starting point comes from OMEGA’s own brand history, while the exact model references remain specialist identifications.

What watches did Daniel Craig wear in the Bond films?

Daniel Craig’s Bond expands the OMEGA range beyond the familiar Seamaster 300M, using the Seamaster 300M, Planet Ocean, Aqua Terra, Seamaster 300, and the titanium Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition.

Film Watch or watches identified Evidence status and context
Casino Royale (2006) OMEGA Seamaster 300M 2220.80; OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 2900.50.91 Two OMEGA watches are associated with Craig’s first Bond film.
Quantum of Solace (2008) OMEGA Planet Ocean 2201.50 The specialist chronology identifies the Planet Ocean reference 2201.50.
Skyfall (2012) OMEGA Planet Ocean; OMEGA Aqua Terra Both families are associated with the film, but public specialist chronologies do not always agree on the exact on-screen inventory.
SPECTRE (2015) OMEGA Aqua Terra 231.10.42.21.03.003; OMEGA Seamaster 300 “Spectre” 233.32.41.21.01.001 Two specific OMEGA identifications are commonly associated with the film.
No Time to Die (2021) OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, commonly identified as 210.90.42.20.01.001 The key watch is the titanium 007 Edition Seamaster Diver 300M. OMEGA’s Seamaster history documents the continuing Bond relationship.

For the specific question “What watch did Daniel Craig wear in No Time to Die?”, the answer is the titanium OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, commonly identified by reference 210.90.42.20.01.001. The watch should not be confused with a screen-used prop merely because a modern commemorative model carries Bond branding.

What is the difference between the literary Bond watch and the cinematic Bond watch?

The literary Bond watch history is not identical to the film history. WatchTime reports that Ian Fleming’s Live and Let Die identifies Bond’s watch as a Rolex, while Fleming himself owned a Rolex Explorer reference 1016; the Explorer therefore belongs to the literary and Fleming context, whereas the Rolex Submariner is the dominant early-film image.

The distinction matters because searches for “James Bond Rolex Explorer” often combine Fleming’s personal watch and literary associations with the film watches. The safest cinematic answer for early Bond remains the Rolex Submariner 6538, not the Explorer 1016.

Which Bond watch is the most iconic?

The Rolex Submariner reference 6538 is the most iconic early cinematic Bond watch, while the OMEGA Seamaster is the defining modern Bond watch from GoldenEye onward.

Connery Rolex and Gruen Rolex Submariner 6538 Establishes the classic mechanical-diver image, while the Gruen Precision shows that more than one watch was used.

How should Bond watches be compared?

Bond watches are easiest to compare using four separate questions: how certain is the screen identification, which era does the watch belong to, what function does it perform, and how accessible is the watch to collectors?

Four useful comparison axes
Comparison axis Examples from the list What the axis tells you
Screen certainty Rolex Submariner 6538: strong association; Licence to Kill Rolex: possible 168000 or 16610; additional Octopussy appearances: under investigation Whether a reference is a dependable film identification or only one specialist proposal.
Era Connery/Lazenby, Moore, Dalton, Brosnan, Craig Whether the watch reflects mechanical tradition, quartz technology, transition, or the modern OMEGA partnership.
Function Dress-style watch, dive watch, chronograph, digital display, alarm, or story gadget Whether the watch primarily establishes character, supports underwater action, displays technology, or performs a plot function.
Collector accessibility Rare vintage Rolex 6538; discontinued Seiko references; modern OMEGA 007 Edition; Bond-inspired strap Whether a reader is looking for a rare vintage collectible, a discontinued reference, a documented modern model, or an accessory inspired by the films.

A modern commemorative OMEGA should not be compared with a vintage Rolex Submariner 6538 as though both were ordinary retail products. One represents a current or recent branded Bond model; the other is a historically important vintage reference whose authenticity, condition, provenance, and originality require specialist scrutiny.

Can I buy a James Bond watch?

You can buy Bond-associated modern watches and Bond-inspired accessories, but many of the historically important film references are discontinued vintage watches rather than ordinary current retail purchases. A product described as Bond-inspired is not automatically the screen-used watch.

What type of Bond watch can a reader realistically shop for?
Shopping goal Representative choice Market category Important caution
Early-film screen accuracy Rolex Submariner 6538 Rare vintage watch A marketplace listing or dealer description does not prove that a particular watch was screen-used.
Modern Bond association OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition Documented modern commemorative model OMEGA’s official product and history pages document the model family and Bond connection; availability and price must be checked separately.
Roger Moore-era technology Hamilton Pulsar II 2900 or a cited Seiko reference Discontinued vintage or collectible digital/quartz watch Condition, battery-related damage, replacement parts, and exact reference need verification before purchase.
Bond-inspired styling NATO-style or vintage-style leather strap Accessory inspired by the films A modern strap is an accessory, not the exact prop or watch worn in a film.

For readers who want a modern Bond-associated watch rather than a vintage prop, the OMEGA Seamaster 007 Edition is the clearest documented contemporary option. OMEGA also maintains an official page for the James Bond 60th Anniversary Seamaster; neither the official product page nor the partnership history establishes current stock, affordability, or an affiliate relationship.

Readers who want broader film context may also want a James Bond film guide, specifically The James Bond Film Guide: The Official Guide to All 25 007 Films. Barnes & Noble’s December 14, 2021 listing records the reference book at 288 pages. A film guide is useful alongside this watch list because it places the watches within locations, costumes, gadgets, production design, and individual scenes.

  • VERSATILE ACCESSORY FOR ANY OCCASION – Transitions seamlessly from office to weekend. Makes an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day, and holidays. A reliable timepiece that combines classic aesthetics with practical functionality for the modern man

For discontinued references such as the Rolex Submariner 6538, Gruen Precision, vintage Seiko models, Breitling Top Time, Cartier Santos, and TAG Heuer Professional, use specialist vintage dealers and auction houses rather than assuming that a general marketplace listing is authentic. Ask for movement and case photographs, reference-specific details, service history, provenance where available, and an independent inspection; never treat a listing’s “007” wording as proof of screen use.

A Bond-inspired NATO strap or vintage-style leather strap is a lower-commitment way to evoke the films. The accessory can reproduce a visual idea associated with Bond, but it should be described honestly as a modern interpretation rather than a screen-used component.

Why are some Bond watch references disputed?

Exact references can be disputed because a film may show a watch only briefly, use multiple watches, obscure the dial or case markings, or rely on a prop modified for the story. Public watch databases can therefore agree on the model family while disagreeing about the exact reference.

  1. Separate the film from the actor’s overall era. Saying that Connery wore a Rolex Submariner is not enough if the question concerns Dr. No, Goldfinger, or Thunderball specifically.
  2. Separate a model family from a reference number. “Seamaster 300M” can be a reliable family identification even when a precise reference is debated.
  3. Preserve alternatives when the evidence does not decide the issue. The Licence to Kill Rolex should remain 168000 or 16610 in a careful list.
  4. Mark unresolved appearances. The specialist chronology identifies the commonly cited Octopussy Seiko while noting additional appearances under investigation; Skyfall is associated with Planet Ocean and Aqua Terra, but the exact inventory is not always agreed.
  5. Do not confuse a commemorative product with a production prop. A modern OMEGA 007 Edition can be officially Bond-associated without being the identical watch used in every relevant scene.

No Time to Die (2021) Titanium OMEGA Seamaster Diver 300M 007 Edition, commonly identified as 210.90.42.20.01.001

Bond’s watch story is therefore a visual history of changing spy technology and character design. Rolex and Gruen establish the early cinematic identity; Hamilton and Seiko make the digital and quartz eras visible; Cartier and TAG Heuer mark Dalton’s transition; and OMEGA becomes the durable modern partner from GoldenEye through No Time to Die.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the 1967 Casino Royale and Never Say Never Again included in the complete Bond watch list?

The 1967 Casino Royale is not included because it is treated as a spoof outside the main official 25-film 007 series. Never Say Never Again is also excluded because it is not counted as an equivalent EON entry.

Is Bond’s real watch a Rolex Explorer or a Rolex Submariner?

The Rolex Submariner is the dominant cinematic Bond watch, especially the reference 6538 associated with Sean Connery. The Rolex Explorer reference 1016 belongs mainly to Ian Fleming’s personal and literary context rather than the defining early-film image.

Does a complete list mean that every Bond watch reference is certain?

No. A complete film list can identify every known associated watch while still marking some exact references as disputed or under investigation. For example, the Licence to Kill Rolex is commonly identified as either a Submariner 168000 or 16610, and additional Octopussy appearances remain unresolved.

The Bottom Line

The most accurate short answer is era-dependent: the Rolex Submariner 6538 is the iconic early-film Bond watch, Seiko and Hamilton define Roger Moore’s gadget era, and OMEGA is Bond’s recurring modern watch brand from GoldenEye (1995) through No Time to Die (2021). Exact references should remain qualified wherever specialist evidence disagrees.
