James Bond watches
By Felix | Category Feature
Watches have always been part of the equipment of a secret agent. Long before James Bond appeared in theaters, Ian Fleming James Bond has in his books with a wristwatch. In "On Her Majesty's" Bond used the clock as brass knuckles, and destroyed them. When thinking about a replacement bond is rushing through my head, "A Rolex? Why not. They are quite heavy, but they work. And at least you can see in the dark, phosphorescent digits. "
When James Bond film of fiction to the more advanced, could be seen his watches. In Dr. No Sean Connery wears a Rolex Submariner dive watch clearly, as described in the book by Dowling and Hess. Rolex Reference number 6538 or 5508 are now known as James Bond Submariner. Bond's arch enemies also wear interesting chronographs. The most interesting of them are Donald "Red" Grant, Goldfinger and Scaramanga.
Grant played a hitman in Robert Shaw Greetings from Moscow, to strangle an unknown watch with retractable thin wire. This clock is also present in another Bond film: Her Majesty's Secret Service.
In the literature, "With loving greetings from Moscow" is very accurately described Grant's Clock, "It is a very bulky gold wristwatch was abraded to a crocodile leather strap. It was the Girard-Perregaux model designed for gadget lovers, with two little windows for calendar day, month and moon phase. "
Gert Frobe in Goldfinger also bears a striking gold watch, which I unfortunately can not decipher. Christopher Lee, who Scamanga in "The Man with the Golden Gun" plays bear, probably a Rolex Cellini King Midas.
