Swiss watches have often played a pivotal role in James Bond films, in the early days with Rolex and more recently in the Daniel Craig era, with Omega.
Bond movies have become a major calendar date for Omega dealers, particularly since the brand forged an official partnership with Mr Craig and ramped up its advertising around each film release.
So far, there has been no news from Omega about any plans for the release of Bond 25, the codename for next year’s 25th outing for 007.
But a teaser photograph for the film released this week does appear to show Mr Bond strutting through a London street with his timekeeper very much to the fore.
Omega could not confirm to WatchPro whether the watch is one of theirs, but Esquire took a punt that it is a £3,970 Railmaster Co-Axial Master; at least the magazine suggested its readers could ‘get the look’ with the same watch.
There is only one watch for the character 007:- ROLEX. Anyone who read Ian Fleming’s books knows that James Bond – as well as his creator- wore Rolex in their wrists.
