It’s true. Roger Moore wore Seiko wristwatches in 4 of his 7 films during his 12-year career as British special agent 007. Most people think that the flamboyant spy only wore a Rolex before switching to an Omega in the 80s.

It is admirable that the Japanese watchmaker developed great gadgets not only to fit the character of the special agent but also to demonstrate the future technological capabilities in watch-making.

Below are some pictures from the James Bond series…enjoy!
