As we know, Bond has been issued with several brands of watch during his duties for Queen and country. So far the line up has included,
  1. Rolex Submariner.
  2. Gruen Precision 510. Dr. No (Art)
  3. Hamilton Pulsar P2/2900 "Astronaut" Live and Let Die. ... 
  4. Breitling Top Time. Thunderball. ... 
  5. Tag Heuer Professional 200M. The Living Daylights. ... 
  6. Omega Seamaster 300M. Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, Goldeneye and Casino Royale. ...
My question is what watch would you like to see Bond issued with next and why ?

...and on the reverse a smart touch screen so he can report face to face with M. It should be water (and martini) proof to at least 100m and shockproof particularly in the bedroom. Shouldn’t be beyond the capabilities of JLC and Q Branch. Regards Kev.
