    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.

      What twaddle. You just like/have an Aquaterra lol.
      It’s very overweight for a dress watch, but that would be good for fitting the gadgets in.
      There is no perfect one watch per movie watch for Bond.
      He certainly would not wear a shop window watch in some of the high end places he hangs out!

      Great episode. I love Omega, so I really want to like the Seamaster Aqua Terra, but I can't. Is it a dive watch? A dress watch? A tool watch? The name doesn't match the look, and the look is pleasant yet schizophrenic. It's like the Hamilton of Omegas: everything with Hamilton is Khaki (what is up with that?), and Omega has OD'd on the use of the Seamaster moniker to a degree which I would charitably say is... confusing. Nevertheless, my Best Bond Watch choice would be a Seamaster as well, but the Planet Ocean 600M, a truly indestructible bad-ass tool watch. (I would add that Adrien's lead-up stories/choices were by far the best.)

    • @oysterman962
      @oysterman962 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm afraid you're all wrong. The Aqua Terra is well known for being a Bond watch. Before it appeared on film nobody gave a shit about it. The best Bond spy watch is the one nobody talks about. That is the Gruen dress watch worn by Connery in Dr No at the casino table when he announces his name for the very first time. But the overall hands down winner is the Rolex Submariner. The very watch that gave birth to the Bond watch. All others are wannabes. No contest.

    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. 😊

      Adrian criticized any 007 marketing on the Omegas BUT the biggest flaw which no one seems to pick up is the broad arrow marking on the No Time to Die Seamaster. The marking denotes MOD military issue and property of British government. Fine to wear as a soldier in uniform but terrible for a spy. If you were caught with this watch in cold war USSR or China, good luck proving you aren't working for the British government let alone being a spy. Very amateur mistake. You pose a danger to yourself and embarrassment to your country

    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.

      Agree with the Sub being the ultimate Bond watch. But there's a big flaw on the Seamaster No Time to Die. It has a British broad arrow marking it as property of the Ministry of Defence. A real spy wouldn't be caught dead with that tattooed on their watch. It's basically a sticker on your wrist admitting you work for the British government. As a spy, Imagine getting caught with that on your person in China. They'd execute you without a trial.

    Back to Bond, I think the Sub on Nato is ingrained deeply and that that's the one I'd go with.

    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.

    OMG George, really? It’s bad enough you carry the TAG torch but picking a TAG Watch from a horrible bond movie featuring Timothy “The Worst Bond Ever” Dalton is just ludicrous. Plus, the watch had 10 seconds of screen time that only a cult TAG fan could spot and you pick it as a best watch of Bond? Then you have the audacity to criticize Andrews choice of the 300M that played a huge role in the movie, had gadgets built in, lots of screen time, and is by the brand that is now universally associated with James Bond. Man what on earth are you smoking? Seriously, do you get paid every time you mention TAG?

    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 👍

    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.

    The Bond watch is a big crown Sub on a sketchy AF 14mm two tone black&green/grey strap that isn't even a NATO. It's just a cheap nylon strap, I believe folk law has it as from an on set camera man. The watch itself is the directors!
    But that watch is well into 6 figures and as rare as hens teeth. If you see one in the street, it's a fake!
    Between that and Brosnan's Omega, well it's just a no date Sub or some piece of garbage.
    The original Brosnan Omega? Nah, it's a piss poor watch.
    The later NATO strapped Seamaster 300? Painful Connery clone strap.
    The NTTD watch? Nice NATO strap with a nod to Connery but not an outright copy, but really, 007 logo? Fake military issue numbers?
    Nope.
    I've got a normal black dial Seamaster 300, skeleton hands, date at 6 and a Bark & Jack Bond NATO. To my eyes it's spot on, I got the Seamaster 'cause I couldn't justify another Sub, but now I wouldn't change it. I think it's perfect as a Bond watch.

    Great discussion, thank you. I am a HUGE Bond fan and own every movie, apart from the last one. I think the latest Bond Seamaster, like Daniel Craig, is rather overbearing. In my opinion, Bond was never to be taken that seriously and the lizard-mouthed somberness was misplaced, as is his watch…. but that is just me. I have the Night Diver from 1982 and the original 1995 Bond Omega in quartz, both still in as new condition. The only Bond watch that I would love to add, but never will be able to afford, is the Rolex Submariner Ref. 16610. Thanks again, guys!

  • @WestCoastAce27

    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.

    I loved and appreciate y'all choices, i actually learned new stuff! but its like discussing the New Testament and ignoring The Torah!
