I know James Bond has worn an Omega for years but with Amazon taking full rights to the franchise and, I’m sure, planning a film already, I wonder if they’ll go a different way.
While I’d love to see a CW on his wrist (C63 GMT or maybe even a Lumière), what would you choose - stick with Omega or something else / what?

Re: James Bond, and his next watch
I rather suspect it will be whoever pours most dollars into the franchise.
It’s only an actor anyway. Couldn’t care less.

Re: James Bond, and his next watch
Official Timekeeping will likely go to the highest bidder, which I don't expect to be CW.
On a whimsical note, though, the C65 Dartmouth Series I is fitting bearing in mind Bond's original position as a Naval Officer.

Not sure what he'll have on his wrist, but since 007 is a prime number I'm sure he'll be offered a namesake membership. They might even throw in a Kindle...licensed to read.

Re: James Bond, and his next watch
Looking forward to the remakes:
Oro-finger
ThunderBel
Moonglow-raker
The Worldtimer is not Enough
No Chime to Die
So long as, each time Bond is captured and he is in mortal danger, his status in MI6's agent tracking system gets updated to "Being prepared for dispatch".

Re: James Bond, and his next watch
Bond belonging to Amazon might have killed the franchise for me.

Re: James Bond, and his next watch
^^^We will have to see. Some of Amazon's content to date has been top notch. If they put out more stuff like the reality Bond show then no.
As for the watches only time will tell. Rolex will never pay for a sponsorship in film. If Omega bows out or Amazon goes in another direction it may just end up being whatever the costume designer picks.
