Understated in its size &#8211; the case measures just 34mm &#8211; the 510 features a manually-wound 17 jewel movement, a brushed case, and Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufactured from 1958 to 1972 by the now-defunct American watchmaker, 510s in running order fetch prices starting in the high $700s.

Paired with a wide variety of straps and bracelets, the 6538 demonstrates its flexibility from scene to scene and movie to movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rugged and ready, but a far cry from a laborer\u2019s timepiece, the Rolex Submariner was an essential bit of kit for Bond, often customized by Q-branch in ways that allowed 007 to escape certain death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manufactured from 1956 to 1959, this model cemented the allure of the Submariner in the minds of the public.

On Roger Moore\u2019s wrist in <em>Live and Let Die<\/em>, the Hamilton oozed high-tech with a sleek, futuristic design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Billed as revolutionary, this quartz watch had no gears to wind, no springs to wear out, and required no tuning to achieve startling accuracy &#8211; just split-second time on demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That practical simplicity (despite the very real idiosyncrasies of setting the time) resonated with Bond\u2019s readiness for action and sparked a brief challenge to the dominant position of high-mechanical horology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discontinued almost a lifetime ago, vintage P2s are available for as little as $500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seiko 0674 LC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Seiko-0674-LC.jpg\" alt=\"Seiko 0674 LC\" class=\"wp-image-14760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Seiko-0674-LC.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Seiko-0674-LC-300x244.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Introduced in 1976, just in time for <em>The Spy Who Loved Me<\/em>, the Seiko 0674-5009 continued the trend toward futuristic design and quartz simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Worn by Roger Moore, this timepiece was more about pushing Q-type tech into the foreground, especially for a viewing public unfamiliar with horological developments at the time. Clean, forward-looking, and easy to read, the Seiko\u2019s stainless case and bracelet looked like something 20 years in the future, leapfrogging traditional wrist-watch aesthetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its functions included time, seconds, light, date, and weekday indicators, just what you need as you move from country to country and time zone to time zone, often in just hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long since discontinued, the Seiko 0674 LC is available in good condition for roughly $450, and its retro appeal is still strong among fashion leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seiko M354 Memory Bank Calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While probably not a watch we would now consider fitting for the always-stylish Bond, Seiko\u2019s M345 Memory Bank Calendar, like the 06774 LC, was a gesture toward emerging horological technology.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz accuracy, and the bells and whistles it made possible, were still exciting and new when <em>Moonraker<\/em> debuted on screen, and the space-themed adventure demanded something more than analogue simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The M345 delivered this in spades, offering calendar and memory functions, as well as impeccable digital time.

Flashier than the Omegas and Rolexes that typically grace the silver screen, this wristwatch marries a professional-grade tool to an adventurous agent like almost nothing else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the eye-catching gold details, a clean diver\u2019s style dial, and 600m water resistance combine to make this a quartz watch that tempts even the most die-hard fans of high mech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re tempted by the \u201cGolden Guna,\u201d you\u2019re not alone, and rest assured that they keep immaculate time to this day.

Driven by a quartz movement, accurate time was reliably on hand while wearing this watch. The Seiko used in the film was reportedly modified by the prop team, so a perfect match with the original isn\u2019t possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And as you\u2019d expect, this model is hard to come by.

An important tool for Bond\u2019s mission, this Seiko receives more than its fair share of close-ups as he hunts down a Faberge egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Time, date, alarms, stopwatches: the digital G757 was a step in the direction of modern timepieces like the Casio G-Shock, and one glance at the divided digital dial makes their kinship obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rare and prized, authentic models of this watch still command prices in the neighborhood of $500, a hefty sum for a more than 40-year-old digital timepiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seiko Chronograph White Dial 7A28-7020<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Quartz technology was evolving rapidly in the early 1980s, and while digital displays were seen as the future, the Seiko Chronograph White Dial 7A28-7020 recaptured the look of analogue elegance with a stunning white dial and subdued sword hands showcased by a polished steel body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several subdials, the usual tachymeter markings, and pushers to actuate its features mark this watch out as special, and 007 makes full use of its undeniable good looks in <em>A View to a Kill<\/em>.

Responding to the trend of luxury watches to embrace high-mech and skip the simple quartz movements, 007\u2019s wrist allows horological history a place on the silver screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As attractive a choice now as it was two decades ago, his Omega can be found for fair prices in the mid-$2,000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial 2220.80.00<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-300M-Co-Axial-2220.80.00.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial 2220.80.00\" class=\"wp-image-14771\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-300M-Co-Axial-2220.80.00.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-300M-Co-Axial-2220.80.00-300x244.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega seems to have captured Bond\u2019s heart for longer than any of his female co-stars, displaying remarkable loyalty to the brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That makes a lot of sense when you step back a bit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omega knew they were on to something with the styling of the Seamaster, and it comes as little surprise that, at first glance, Daniel Craig\u2019s Bond seems to be wearing the same timepiece as Brosnan.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a deeper dive into the watch gracing his wrist in much of <em>Casino Royale<\/em> reveals a new, rhodium-plated co-axial movement under the hood, an upgrade to be sure from quartz as well as the mechanical movement of the 2531.80.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while the beating heart of this watch may be changed, the panache and presence of the Seamaster carry the Bond mystique perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carefully tended examples can fetch prices as high as $4,000 for this model, a fair price for an iconic timepiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 232.30.42.21.01.001, 2900.50.91, and 2201.50.00<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-Planet-Ocean-232.30.42.21.01.001-2900.50.91-and-2201.50.00.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 232.30.42.21.01.001, 2900.50.91, and 2201.50.00\" class=\"wp-image-14772\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-Planet-Ocean-232.30.42.21.01.001-2900.50.91-and-2201.50.00.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-Planet-Ocean-232.30.42.21.01.001-2900.50.91-and-2201.50.00-300x244.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean spends a lot of screen time on Craig\u2019s wrist over the next films, keeping its clean look and the co-axial movement that sets the real players apart from the pretenders, just as Bond does at the poker table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A black dial, clean, uber-legible markings, and understated straps and bracelets lend these Seamasters a quiet confidence and the good looks to attract the eye of the beautiful Vesper Lynd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to the elegant simplicity of the early dive watches of Connery\u2019s Bond, the Planet Ocean is simply stunning, working as well with casual clothing as it does with 007\u2019s formal evening attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These vintage watches can be found in excellent condition for several thousand dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Ref. 231.10.42.21.03.003<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-Aqua-Terra-150M-Ref.-231.10.42.21.03.003.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Ref. 231.10.42.21.03.003\" class=\"wp-image-14773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-Aqua-Terra-150M-Ref.-231.10.42.21.03.003.jpg 695w, https:\/\/www.exquisitetimepieces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Omega-Seamaster-Aqua-Terra-150M-Ref.-231.10.42.21.03.003-300x244.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Craig\u2019s Bond is a more stripped-down, hard-edged version of 007 when compared to Moore, Dalton, and Brosnan, and the choice to equip him with the Aqua Terra in <em>Skyfall <\/em>reflects this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most attractive of the spy\u2019s sport watches &#8211;
