We've mentioned various James Bond watches half a dozen times before (see A Connery-esque 6538, a Gilbert James Bond Jump Hour, and Daniel Craig's personal Corum 396-701-20-V800 CR64 Men's Watch Omega DeVille).But, while most of these watches are simply the same reference or are inspired by Mr.Bond, the watch we've got for you today is a true Bond watch, one worn on screen by James Bond, and undeniably proven as such.
Taking cues from the Transponder (retail price ~$40,000), this watch's chronograph is operated by pressing the face of the crystal, thus no pushers protruding from the case, and retail price for this current production chrono is less than half of that of the replica Breitling Windrider Chronomat watch Transponder.Today's example, is selling for around half of the retail price so you are really getting a great deal on a rare and innovative chronograph from Jaeger LeCoultre.We love the red accents on this black faced, semi-skeletonized watch, and really, it's a watch that reminds us a lot of the vintage Heuers of the 1960s and 70s, as it is purely a racing timepiece and you can tell.
The watch you see to the right is a Rolex Reference 6238 or "Pre-Daytona" chronograph.It is the very watch worn by George Lazenby in the 1969 Bond flick "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".Lazenby was the second actor to play Bond, after Sean Connery, and this watch was one of two Rolex's he wore in this film (the other was a 5513 Submariner that he actually bought to audition for the role).You can see Lazenby as Bond with the Corum 130-330-47-0133PN34 WoMen's watch on in the picture below (borrowed from JamesBondWatches), in the original animated movie post after the jump, as well as a third screen grab.
