Author Ian Fleming was meticulous about the kind of watch his secret agent should wear: “He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex<\/a>,” he said in his book “Casino Royale,” convinced that “a gentleman’s choice of timepiece says as much about him as does his Savile Row suit”. Rolex watches appeared in nine of the James Bond sagas, forming a vital part of his identity and style manual.<\/p>\n

It was a perfect match: the world’s first dive watch, a resilient yet elegant piece to accompany the rugged yet elegant 007 on his adventures.
