This group together is exactly what the industry needed to keep it fun.

Rolex Explorer 1, the watch that Ian Flemming wore when writing the Bond novels. He references Rolex in the books themselves I believe, so you'd have to imagine he was thinking of the watch on his wrist at the time. I'm a little surprised that Adrian didn't pick it actually 😉

The NTTD Seamaster was the first modern mechanical watch I’d tried on in many years and nearly ruined me for anything else. But my vote is for the original Seamaster 300M Diver. That watch was cool in the 90s and it’s still cool.

I do agree with Adrian’s take…the “No Time to Die” Bond watch was a truly great watch. I only have one “CLASSIC” watch in my life. IT’S AN OMEGA. They are exactly what a person needs as a daily for a lifetime. Omega Seamaster 300 Chronograph. It does everything you need in a watch.

Brosnan and Goldeneye were instrumental in starting my love for watches, as that was my first Bond movie. I've always loved the Seamaster and all it's iterations, especially the No Time to Die. That being said, Connery's original Submariner is the peak Bond watch for me. I'd happily take either in my collection though 🙌🏼 another fantastic episode, lads. I was happy to see Breitling and Seiko mentioned!

The Top Gear team of the watch industry. Love the show!

Best Bond watch: yes its been said before many a time over, but Connery's Sub on a nato is pure stealth wealth with a military vibe. 100% Bond!

The Rolex Big Crown in Goldfinger is THE Bond watch for me. It's the watch that all other Bond watches are judged by, and the look that Omega have tried to replicate for Daniel Craig, with varying results. The Goldfinger Rolex has zero gadgets, yet it's sophisticated presence (even on an undersized nato strap) screams Bond and essentially took Rolex to the next level at the time. A close second to me is the Goldeneye Seamaster. It goes without saying how iconic it is. I still believe to this day it's the most beautiful watch ever made, and I couldn't imagine Brosnan's Bond wearing anything else.

great episode! Like the loose formatted ones but also like the tighter format!

To me, the Aqua Terra is the ultimate Bond watch. It's a dress watch, it's elegant but it flies under radar and it has some extra features under the hood that you don't expect from a dress watch - just like a real spy.

I love what you’ve started! Looking forward to each episode 😊

Although everyone had some really great picks, Adrian really hit it out of the park. The latest “No Time to Die “ Omega watch is an incredible tool watch. This watch is so light you almost do not feel you are wearing a watch on your wrist. The Aqua Terra is definitely underrated. It is such an elegant and classic watch.

It's the Rolex Submariner for me, the other watches are all product placement apart from the Gruen worn in Casio Royale

One of the most underrated omega currently is the seamaster Railmaster with the patina markers 3,6,9,12 and lollipop seconds hands, time only 🔥

What a "barn burner," of an episode. The topic, the examples given, and the logic behind each example, were just sensational. For me, this was an episode, that ended, far to soon. Bravo gentlemen......bravo👏

Great episode guys, I look forward to the new installment each weekend. 🏆

I agree with Adrian, AT it is! May look boring and blends in the background, but it’s true that it has to be and that. Otherwise you’re no longer undercover…. (Happens to be my initials too!)

That biver clip is so underrated! The forethought to have it written into the movie. I wish we could hear more about it! Great episode!

I knew you'd go night diver, and I love it. The Living Daylights has to be one of the most under rated bond movies, and I've been chasing a heuer night diver for years. Great episode gents!

Another amazing episode, thanks guys. Not in the bond movies, but the Bamford Aquaracer is my favourite as I have one 😂 I love how it's so light and you can use it for anything without worrying about scratching it. All watches in this episode are all good for their own reasons. Well done. Looking forward to the next episode. ⌚

Love the show guys!! Was looking forward to this episode. Keep up the awesome content.

Effing great, chaps! For me, the ultimate Bond watch was the Sub on NATO worn by the ultimate Bond, Sean Connery. Hats off for mentioning Autodromo; as a petrolhead and watch geek, I love them. The Group B aqua on a yellow strap is one of my favourites on my collection, soon to be joined by a Vallelunga in grey. Beautiful! Egging cheers!

There is only one right answer. The Rolex Submariner 6538. Original Bond, original Bond watch.

Fully agree with you man. Aquaterra is the bond watch: efficient, discret and can be dressy.

Quality yet again lads. Love these shows

5513 Sub from Live and Let Die... Or the 6538 from Connery's era

Finally someone ripping dainty watches. A men's watch should be 40mm at the very smallest imho

Rolex submariner 6538 and the omega seamaster 2541.80/2531.80, both have influenced my love for watches

Great group of guys and I love the banter. I wish you spent more time exploring the Bond watch theme as there are so many others I would’ve loved to hear you discuss. Cheers

I credit this podcast for the revival and subsequent wearing of my Tag Heuer F1 from 2001, thank you guys, I was never going to sell it, but I was not wearing it enough

Bond watch for me... Was a vintage no date submariner..

18:35 Such a fantastic ad here. Great photography and layout. Beautiful. I’ve been binging your podcasts here. Fun talks. 👍🏻

Idea for another show… comparing watches to cars… e.g. Rolex = Porsche (a formula that works, only subtle changes over time)… Patek = Rolls Royce (hand made, limited quantity)… AP = Bentley; Omega = Mercedes… etc

Great show again folks! Particularly the BYOI section is great to learn about new brands. Have to agree with Adrian that the aqua terra would make a superb spy watch. Fantastic ,understated and great functionality . My favourite watch was the NTTD Omega which is class!

Great show, my favourite episode. Love the Heuer combo of black case and bracelet with luminous dial. Need to see more of it.

You might want to give your audience a complete list, so you should have added the Tissot PR-516, which is worn by Roger Moore in "Live And Let Die." It has by far the most spectacular dial of any of the Bond watches. And it has the added advantage of not being a Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Seiko ...

As usual, great show guys! Fav part of the show was when you guys were talking about over-rated grails! 👍🏼 Back to Bond, I think the Sub on Nato is ingrained deeply and that that's the one I'd go with.

Can’t believe the first Bond watch wasn’t mentioned!? Bond isn’t just a tool watch guy, he needs something for his tux… how about the Gruen Precision 510 😎

Great show! Great picks! You guys really gel off of each other. Love the Seiko pick and that TAG Heuer Night Diver is stunning. I love watches with full lume dials. And love the Omega picks. A good honorable mention IMO is the "Rolex Ref. 6238" (a pre-Daytona chronograph watch) that George Lazenby wore when he was romancing Tracy (Diana Rigg).

Great content, nice conversation. Thanks guys

Loved the show guys, great banter. Would you guys consider doing a show on your top movie watches past and present? PS night diver is awesome would love one in my collection.

Love this series …. What a show!!! Thanks guys

TAG Heuer? Did not see that coming. This was actually a refreshing take on Bond watches. I mean, you're all wrong of course, because...Submariner.

I am an owner of the Omega „no time to die“.. it is really great watch !!

love this channel! thanks guys!

Awesome show guys! Omega Planet Ocean 2500 would be my pick. Military vibes, super rugger, but also wearable with a suit

Such a cool and fun episode 👏👏👏 bravo guys your awesome 👍😎

Proud owner of a top time 2002, bloody love it

Great fun show, but how could the Submariner not even get a mention?

i do love this episode, i´ve watched it again and... it´s amazing. It´s great how you managed to improve the episode/video/audio quality in such a sort time I´d go with omega no time to die & bond 60th anni & connery´s submariner!

Great questions. What an awesome show. And Andrew NAILED it with the Daytona.

Been a longtime fan of adrian his content has been awesome since day one!! but this is an awesome podcast!!!

Great Show! Cheers!

Love so much the No time to die version that i bought one a year ago. Never looked back since. Great watch to wear and quite versatile

Fast forward to 2.22 for the first mention of Tag Heuer 👌

Best episode yet! Loved every single one of the choices, but Adrian with the submissions of the Seamaster 300 and the Aqua Terra is the winner for me! Both watches pack so much punch yet are not overly flashy. Perfect choices for a spy!

I MEAN! How could I not click this thumbnail ?! GEORGE BAMFORD AS 007?! Hahahha I love it! And I loved these choices. Adrian had such a strong choice! I think I loved it so much because I wasn’t really into bond until the Craig era. Great video guys!

Best episode yet. Brevity is the essence of wit. The shorter time frame and the very well-framed questions (I like the grail watch question too) helped increase the discussion’s focus. Bamford’s picks were def the choice of a designer; I really like the Top Time. Great analysis in support of the Seikos. But the NTTD is kinda hands down, enit? It was like a Tyson fight. Good job gents.

I really think Bond should wear British. Let’s go Bremont.

I'm so glad Bamford said the night diver. I love their reissue of this watch. Very tactical, almost metal gear solid vibe.

Cracking episode chaps, well done !

I'd go with the Planet Ocean 2500, that watch is still one of if not the best looking modern Omega diver's IMO, 42mm matte black dial/black bezel with white tri arabics "open 6 & 9 font" awesome! The aesthetics are drawn from the classic Seamasters of the late 60's while being a modern robust 600m diver, I'm a fan of the model, I think it gets overshadowed but to me the classic design is timeless. BTW love those wall clocks guys, very cool 👍

New NTD omega and Aqua Terra fit best the modern bond and I can relate the most with them as I own a white dial SMP which is a killer watch. The older Omegas suit the Pierce Brosnan excellent as well . What I’m trying to say that each era had its own quirky watch that suited the movies of the time, but technologically, the latest ones are clearly for me at least , the coolest.

What floored me is you guys digging the American accent while all us Americans dig your accent. I never knew it went both ways!

Adrian, spot on with your choices here! The logic is indefensible. Well done!

This was excellent guys really enjoyed it 👍👍👍

Great show. I would agree with Adrian on Aquaterra being a pretty solid choice for a spy watch.

Great idea for an episode with the best car and watch combo. Great work gents.

In 1973 when I was 18 years old, I saw the Submariner in Live & Let Die. I was smitten and have worn this watch since I was 19-years-old.

Great show guys! For me, the 2220.80 300m is the one! The watch is the epitome of cool in various shots in Venice, Italy. And, in an now-infamous scene left on the cutting room floor, Bond uses his otherwise featureless 300m as a knuckleduster - referencing Fleming’s OHMSS. It was a perfect “gadget” for Craig’s more grounded, more brutal portrayal of Bond, and I think at some point every reader of OHMSS who owns a SS watch on a bracelet has slid that watch over his/her wrist and questioned whether that would actually work.

Was hoping everyone would be in suits! Can't wait for this

Thanks for another great show. 🙂

My vote is for the Rolex Submariner worn by Sean Connery. He was the best Bond and his four digit Sub, the best Bond watch. I also like the Casio Royale, a great (and ridiculously affordable) homage to the Seiko G757. The Rolex is unattainable to most, the Casio affordable by all - it is the democratization of the Bond watch for the masses.

that was effing short....c'mon guys. But soooo effing good. you reignited my interest in watches. Cheers

Omega is great but you guys totally forgot the best bond Shaun Connery the submariner Best watch by far

Great show thanks guys. My favourite Bond watch the Aqua Terra 231.10.42.21.03.004. I like the fact it’s quiet subtle and has the Bond family crest on the second had and I love the nine mill cartridge with the rifled effect on the rotor as seen through the open case back. I am lucky enough to own this watch and do enjoy wearing it.

surprised no one mentioned the sub

For me in terms of looks I loved the SPECTRE omega seamaster, but there are so many good ones, Sean Connery’s Rolex Sunny, Breitling Top Time, Roger Moore’s Rolex stubby (my personal favourite), Daltons Tag Heuer professional 2000m and the slew of omega seamasters since pierce and Craig’s era.

Come on Sean Connery sub is the best bobs watch you can’t beat it

so may diffrent options to choose from. From Seiko to Breitling. From Omega to Rolex. I absolut love my Nttd

Since the Seamaster 300 Diver (Quartz) from 'Goldeneye' got me into watches I will have to go with that one as the winner. My personal favorite Bond watch though has got to be the Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial from 'Spectre'.

These three remind me of the gold old Top Gear news section but for watches.

Great show fellas love the comment about the Nautilus with ears.In the USA we had the "Little Rascals " TV show back in the day so that being said I thought of a "proper nick name for the Nautilus- the Alfalfa because of the little guys ears.Yup drop the mic and send me my tee shirt. The Rootbeer,Pepsi, Bluesy, and .......the Alfalfa!! GREAT SHOW , KEEP IT UP!

Great episode

Nice episode

Overrated watches - Nautilus, Daytona, & Cartier - SO TRUE. 👏 👏 👏

Really, not even mentioning the Rolex Explorer or Submariner? The Submariner is my all-time favorite Bond watch.

No one mentioned the Rolex in Live and let die. I'm not sure which model it was, but it was a great gadget, with a magnetic field and spinning bezel that can cut through ropes. But I personally liked Andrew's choices, especially the No time to die( because I have one)omega Seamaster. 😊

As a purist you would have to go with Rolex, as Ian Fleming selected the brand. Otherwise it’s the Omega from No Time to Die. The Army issue branding and those colours are just much nicer than what they normally do. Nice blend of the modern style and some vintage

I would say the SPECTRE Seamaster 300 is my favourite Bond watch. It has the elegance and functional nature suited for Bond. Plus, the black/grey NATO strap is badass. It is one of the few Bond watches where it was love at first sight for me.

Cracking content lads! It really is what's missing from the watch community of KZfaq, real talk by knowledgable people, keep it up! I am more with Adrian on this one, the Omega Seamaster from NTTD really captures the essence of the tool watch, like Ian Fleming portrayed it in the novels. A not so striking piece, that is tough (seems like it), refined at the same time and gets the job done. A good follow-up in the conversation would be regarding the brand that could take the baton from Omega with the introduction of the new actor in the next film. A relatively new brand like Bremont with military style watches could be suitable. I would also enjoy a return from SEIKO with its many year experience in dive watches, which this year released a trio of dive watches in its 'Black Series PROSPEX' collection, a move reminiscent of the Tag Heuer Night Diver in TLD.

Majesty’s Secret Service limited edition 007 Seamaster 300M in stainless steel is my favorite.

Flemming wrote that Bond wore Rolex in the books. He wore an explorer 1 and from the references in the book (simple but robust) you've got to assume that's what he was thinking when he wrote the part. So it's at least got to be a Rolex.

I'd go the Gruen Precision, the first Bond watch that appeared on screen. Only the real Bond nerds would recognise it as a bond watch, and it reminds me of my Grandfather's watch (but his was an Omega).

Love this video. Love seeing you guys sit, laugh and talk together. As for the best Bond watch, the NTTD Omega was a no brainer to me. So totally agree. Second however I do prefer the Brosnan SMP and third the Aqua Terra. So all Omega in this case. 😎

No Time to Die Omega is the best looking of the lot. Terrible film but pretty watch. That Seiko was also a good choice - it was so emblematic of that era. Sorry George :( I ❤️❤️ the show!! Keep it up.

Wow, one of the most underrated Bond watches is the winner! I'm as happy as George, since I own the Heuer Night Diver 980.031 as well. But I'm very surprised that no one mentioned the original Submariner. Without Connery wearing one on a military style strap in Goldfinger & Thunderball, would NATO straps be as popular today? I think perhaps not.

Great choices and Bond retrospective. But it has to be the original Sub in Dr No. And it’s cemented in that first scene; Bond casually goes from diving to tux while rocking the Sun. Every straight male who has - or is on ’the list’ - wants to be that guy - athletic and suave.

Grate show guys 🤙🏻 great subject, just was fanboy in over all of the contenders, the only winner here was watchers, 👌🏻

I think the Heuer is really interesting. Especially because the UKSF really got "blacked-out" watches issued starting around 1987: The CWC SBS Diver. So I wonder if an advisor to the movie "Licence to Kill" told the director "... well our watches are blacked-out ... why don't you use something like that?"
