Mostly watch a movie to attract the attention of the world whole, and even form a trend that combined sales of films and watches. In 007, the handsome James Bond used his wristwatch to dissolute the risk to do with matter of life or death, so that the wristwatch has become so important in the film. The watch becomes mobile a weapon for the FBI. Regardless of the reality or point of view movie effect, it seems very natural. In fact the original author of 007 Ian Fleming used to describe the target = "_blank"> Rolex Oyster Perpetual used by James Bond be used as a handgun in his novel "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1963.

In the film 007, the watch was really a faithful assistant to Bond and has appeared several times in the film.

While it was reasonable to waive Oyster Perpetual Submariner and wear, regardless of advertising or point of view of reality.

James Bond Rolex Submariner 6536 / 1 Antiquorum 2003Another why James Bond wore the Submariner perhaps: Bond back in the original article was a commander of the British Royal Navy, the interesting thing is the author of 007 Ian Fleming was a commander British Royal Navy, and he even worked at the CIA during the Second World War. And in the real world, it was indeed, after a series strict test, the last Royal Navy Submariner chose their shows.

Submariner Ref British army. 5517In 1962, the first film of 007 CIA Dr.No finally appeared, and that Sean Connery was still Submariner (Ref.6538 or 5508?). It is said that Rolex did not give a submariner in Sean Connery as a gift, so that the director Albert Broccoli had to give his own Submariner who had replaced the bezel with NATO for Sean Connery to wear in the film. Just because of this famous today, there are also many watch enthusiasts change their submarine home "Steel bezel Bezel fabric of NATO. Later, in several films, including 007 "From Russia With Love" 1963 "Goldfinger" in 1964 "Thunderball" in 1965 and even "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" in 1969, bringing 007 have all been a submariner.
