Rolex Magnetic Watch (Live & Let Die) Bond first gets this watch from M, who is a little mad at 007 for spending company money and time to get his watch fixed. M changes his mind when his tea spoon is attracted to the watch from across the room. The secret as 007 explains, is the magnetic field activated when the winding button is pulled. The field is strong enough to deflect the path of a bullet. Bond also uses its buzz-saw feature to slice through a rope binding his hands. Of all the uses for the watch, James uses it to unzip the dress of a Italian agent.

Seiko (The Spy Who Loved Me) 007 had a nifty little watch in this film, something that actes more like a beeper than a watch. It printes a ticker tape message, usually from "M." A message which by the way was extremely untimely.

Seiko Explosive Watch (Moonraker) This wristwatch, like many other gadgets made by Q had the tendency to explode. The wind button housed a long fuse wire, and by pressing the time set button the watch detonates. 007 uses the watch to make an exit, when he is trapped under one of the spaceships about to take off. Needless to say the watch was a blast.

Walkie-Talkie Watch (For Your Eyes Only) A walkie-talkie, which also has the capacity to transmit digital read-outs. This watch helped to set up an amusing epilogue. The Prime Minister Thatcher thinks that she is on the line with Bond, congratulating him on one more successful mission. Instead she is speaking with a parrot, an ill-behaved parrot.

Seiko Homing Watch (Octopussy) This simple looking electronic watch is actually a homing device, for a very expensive egg. A Faberge Egg, with a tiny homing device of its own. The Seiko acts as a receiver and direction finder for the homer.



Omega (GoldenEye) It looks like a handsome watch, that helps a person keep time, but this is not just any person and its not just any watch. It comes equipped with a laser, a Geiger counter, a miniature saw which can cut through steel or glass, a telex communicator, and a cellular phone. Oh yeah, it tells perfect time too.





Exploding Alarm Clock (Licence To Kill) Although this is an alarm clock and not a watch, I still believe it deserves to be mentioned here. This was one of those vacation items prepared for 007 by Q. The clock simply explodes. My only suggestion to 007, is not to hit the snooze button too often.
