Before he was an Omega man, James Bond was a Rolex man. In the books, that’s the only brand 007 wears according to his creator, Ian Fleming. The author himself had a preference for Rolex, and wrote his own Rolex Ref. 1016 into James Bond’s watch. On film though, Bond goes through several brands, wearing some to tell the time, and others to disguise a gadget that might help in his mission. Here are the top 5 James Bond watches on film:

1. Dr. No (1962): Rolex Submariner Oyster Perpetual Ref. 6538
