Daniel Craig is about to play James Bond for the fifth and final time in 2019’s ‘Bond 25’. He has done a superb job playing Bond, and what has perhaps made him perfect for the role are their similarities – their elusive personality, steely charisma, and even their great sartorial taste. Like James Bond, Craig also loves his Rolex and Omega watches. Both brands have had relationships with the James Bond franchise (with Omega as the current brand of choice), and it so happens that Craig loves to wear them, even when he’s off-duty. Check out Daniel Craig’s Watch Collection below, or explore Daniel Craig’s James Bond Omega Watches. |

Rolex has always been James Bond’s watch until 1995, when Pierce Brosnan assumed the role. In Goldfinger, Sean Connery wore the Rolex Submariner 6538, which Craig now has in his personal collection and has worn several times in interviews. A nice nod to the past.

In Casino Royale, Craig wore an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M. It was eventually given to him with a dedication on the caseback from the movie’s producers. While he likes wearing most of his watches, this always stays in the safe because of its sentimental value. | |

Here’s another iconic Rolex in Craig’s collection: the Rolex GMT-Master II ‘Pepsi’ Bezel. The watch with the iconic blue and red bezel, is the inaugural color of the GMT-Master. It is now considered a classic. |

You know you like a watch when you have several versions of them. Craig has two Rolex Milgauss watches in his collection. He has the reference 116400GV seen above, and the reference 116400 with a white dial and orange hour markers. |

Perhaps the most rare and expensive timepiece in his collection is the Rolex Daytona ref 6263. Produced from 1971 to 1987, this version of the Daytona still has a plexiglas crystal and Bakelite bezel. Its rugged and sporty looks make it one of the holy grails of the vintage collecting world.
