Rolex watches have a very universal appeal and these watches have always been popular among both the young as well the old all around the world. And today we will talk about the James Bond Rolex watches.

Rolex and James Bond have a strong connection.Rolex watches have a very long history with James Bond movies. Ian Fleming-the author who invented the fictional British agent James Bond 007, wrote in his books that 007 was wearing a Rolex, but not many details are given by Fleming which makes it hard to find an exact description of this watch. Bond wears a Rolex in this book, which is not surprising, because Fleming himself wore a Rolex Explorer, Reference 1016, on an extensible Oyster riveted strap. Fleming’s affection for Rolex is apparent in the first James Bond film, where Bond, played by Sean Connery, casually straps on a Rolex Submariner without a date display while hunting the nefarious Dr. No, for whom the movie is named. 

Over the years different actors have essayed the role of James Bond. As the actors changed, so did the Rolex models. Some popular actors to play the role of James Bond were the legendary Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Replica Rolex Submariner has been frequently used by Bond actors Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Timothy Dalton, during the 1960s, the 1970s and the 1980s. According to Christies auctions, two Rolex Submariner Models 5513 were modified to reflect as the Q Branchs gadget function in the 1973 release, Live and Let Die. Rolex continued with the production of the Rolex 5513 right until the year 1989. In Dalton’s second and final adventure as James Bond, License to Kill, Bond wears a Rolex Submariner in 1989. However, these watches were significantly altered in appearance.
