Bond Watches, James Bond Watches
Omega has not been the only watch used by James Bond, there have actually been a few Seiko watches that he’s used.
This Seiko M354 5010 Memory-Bank Calendar was his watch in the 1979 movie Moonraker. The date says it all … the high point of quartz, when such watches were new, not yet common, and still cutting edge and sexy. The Bond version is of course equipped with a few non-standard features, such as explosives and a remote detonator.
The National Watch and Clock Museum in Pennsylvania will be hosting an exhibition of James Bond watches during it’s 2010 season. Yes I know, this post is a bit early, but it might be useful to know now for vacation planning.
