How did you know that was a failed concept project of mine? Its a piece unique, you can have it for free, but you will have to break into a top-secret government research facility to get it. You can only wear it over a hazmat suit, and anyone else exposed to it for longer than half an hour will have received a lethal dose of radiation.
Other than that, the lume on it is second to none and it is accurate +/-2 secs a month. I can make that claim, because most wearers don't make it past the first month to find out it doesn't.
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"
Considering the Seiko "Willard" is a 50+ year old watch, there is every reason why it could be surpassed by a more recent upstart with better tech or a more refined movement. Even the reissue "Willards" - but that's not the reason you buy a "Willard" in the first place. You buy one for its story, its heritage, its look and its name. The fact that it functions as a dive watch is important, but not the primary draw, as there are much better divers out there. So what? Give me that Seiko all day, e'r day!
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?
