From Writer
The Daniel Craig watch collection is definitely something that he worked on before he took the 007 role. His self-described “blunt-instrument”, gritty physicality approach to this character has changed the franchise around. His watch collection includes some of the finest models imaginable. Early in the Bond Series, Sean Connery and Ian Flemming wore Rolex Submariners. Over the course of time, however, several other timepieces have been worn by this character. As the franchise knotted itself to the Omega line, new versions of Omega pieces were presented with every new movie.
