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 ?

Hello dear Captain! I wish Bond would return to the Rolex Submariner. May be the present version no date and ceramic bezel black dial. Regret to say I don´t think...

... this will happen as the present Franchise has its strong commercial ties with Omega. May be the recently launched version ot the Seamaster Diver 300 will be the one we will see on his wrist in the next film? Cheers! Abel

Though I´m not fond of smart watches, I feel Bond will be issued some kind of smart watch sooner or later. May be an Omega standard model...

... with some "treatment" from the FX film department would fill the bill as they have done with some of Bond´s watches, like the Rolex with a rotary buzz saw, and Omegas with explosive fuse, etc.

Thank you so much Massi!! Agree with you that the changes introduced to this model make from a strong offering. Indeed the raised indexes produce an stunning tri dimensional effect on its dial.

Glad you like it! Cheers! Abel
