There’s a reason James Bond makes an entrance like no one else. The tuxedo, the swagger, the one-liners that land like bullets, and of course, the watch. Always the watch. Because in the world of 007, it’s never just about telling the time.

Bond’s watches have done more than tick. They’ve detonated charges, fired lasers, unzipped wetsuits, and, every now and then, saved the world. And yet, somehow, they’ve always managed to look devastatingly stylish while doing it.

From the Rolex Submariner that started it all in Dr. No, to the sleek Omegas worn by Daniel Craig, Bond’s wrist tells the story of changing times, both in fashion, and in the secret service.

So in this episode, I’m diving deep into Bond’s wrists. We’re exploring the watches behind the legend, the tech, the style, the history, and yes, the explosions. Because in the end, a Bond watch isn’t just a timepiece. It’s a statement. And like Bond himself, it never goes out of style.
