What watch brand do you think James Bond would ACTUALLY wear?
In the books he wore Rolex,
in the films now its an Omega.
But what watch do you think James Bond would ACTUALLY wear? The poll only gave me 4 options, so if your choice falls outside of the 4 available, maybe you can add further options in the comments? I don't know? Don't shoot the messenger!

A great read! I'm pretty certain that Bond would not want to wear anything that was "issued" given his rebellious choice to carry a Beretta pistol, before being "issued" his Walther PPK. I think he would love the "exclusivity" of a Rolex, and purchase one for himself, but probably would also have a "tool" watch diver as well. Tudor black bay?
Secret option E: Casio gshock 😂
Bond would wear something British but really wear whatever the biggest film sponsor brand has paid for.
A: Bond in the book = Rolex
B: If Bond was actually an MI5 = Something British
C: Movie Bond: Whoever helps pay for the movie.
I would personally go with British, followed by, what did the character wear in the book, and never C.
As much as folks want to give Rolex crap for marketing - Omega isn’t much better.

Absolutely not. Bond would never wear a tech watch that could be hacked into or tracked.
If he's getting the ladies, only the Rolex will do 😆

Something British, so Bremont

I think #GBW the Great British Watch Company might be to Bond's tastes as well. Fine craftsmanship, paired with a great story behind each bespoke piece.
Or possibly a Vertex. The "Dirty Dozen" military heritage of the company and the watches they now produce would appeal to his sense of style and sophistication I reckon. Again, I doubt if he would wear either watch when he was "at work"
