The Roger Moore Bond Watches
Live and Let Die – Rolex Submariner Reference 5513
Roger Moore made his Bond debut in Live and Let Die. When the film starts, he checks the time on a Hamilton Pulsar P2 digital LED watch, before getting his Rolex Submariner 5513 back from Q Branch. We get to see one party piece of the watch straight away, when Bond activates the magnet and M’s teaspoon gets stuck to the watch. Later in the film, to get out of trouble, Bond uses the magnet feature and the second feature of the watch, a circular saw, which causes the whole dial and bezel to spin, cutting the ropes around Bond’s wrists.
The Man with the Golden Gun – Rolex Submariner Reference 5513
The Reference 5513 Sub is again the watch of choice for 007, but doesn’t feature any gadgets this time.
The Spy Who Loved Me – Seiko Ref. 0674 LC
A change of direction in timepieces, with Bond wearing a digital watch from Seiko. This was a sign of the times, as the 1970s saw the rise of quartz timepieces and digital watches. The only gadget this watch features is a ticker tape messaging system.
Moonraker – Seiko M354 Memory Bank Calendar
In Moonraker, a more complicated Seiko is on the wrist of Roger Moore and it features an explosive charge hidden in the back of the watch.
For Your Eyes Only — Seiko Ref. H357 Duo-Display
The H357 Duo-Display from Seiko was the watch selected for the thirteenth Bond film. It featured an analogue time display along with a digital display which was used to transmit messages along with a built-in microphone to communicate with 007.
Octopussy – Seiko Ref. G757 Sports 100
A digital sports chronograph. The extra feature added by Q Branch is the ability to keep tabs on a planted tracking device indicated by the red dot.
