Watches

Rolex Submariner 6538

Worn by Sean Connery as James Bond. The big-crown Submariner returns from Dr. No, again worn on a dark leather strap rather than a bracelet, and reads most clearly when Bond takes the field-telephone call during the riverside picnic. The guardless case and oversized 8 mm winding crown mark the same 6538 configuration Connery carried through the first four films. (Professional Watches) Montres de Luxe independently identifies the watch as a steel Submariner with a plexiglass crystal, noting that collectors have since nicknamed the reference the "Submariner James Bond."

Gruen Precision 510

Worn by Sean Connery as James Bond. Connery's slim gold dress watch accompanies the Submariner here as it did in Dr. No, worn with tailoring, and the dial never gets a legible close-up. The likely candidate is the Gruen Precision 510 that Dell Deaton identified in the Dr. No casino scene and that is widely believed to have been Connery's own; because period photographs of the watch have also been read differently, the Gruen match remains probable rather than settled. (James Bond Watches, Bond Suits) Caleb Daniels, for Watches of Espionage, calls the Gruen 510 identification "entirely speculative", since the watch is never visible enough on screen to confirm any detail, attributes its spread to Dell Deaton's 2013 blog post, and suggests the case construction and lug shape could instead be an Omega's.
