James Bond vs Daniel Craig

August 01, 2019

James Bond nowadays wears an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m, but in the past he had all kinds of watches, among them a number of watches. The famous James Bond is of course the Submariner, although Ian Fleming wore a Explorer himself and was probably referring to this Explorer as well in his books. Dell Deaton wrote an excellent article, including some nice photographs of Ian wearing his Explorer, for the US based magazine WatchTime.However, it seems that Daniel Craig doesn t take this Omega sponsorship (for EON movie productions) too seriously, as he has been repeatedley spotted with watches from his personal collection. Besides his vintage Submariner 6538, identical to the one that Sean Connery wore in Goldfinger, he owns this vintage Daytona as well. It is a Daytona 6263, as Jake posted on his excellent Blogspot.Someone over at the German R-L-X forum posted this snapshot of Daniel Craig and his vintage Daytona ref.6263.What do you think? Should James Bond be wearing his inventor s Explorer? Or at least a ? Or just whoever sponsors him? Please leave your thoughts in the comments!
