#007: James Bond’s Rolex

“Ah, Mr Bond, we’ve been expecting you!” But nobody ever expected Roger Moore’s Rolex to contain a hyper-intensified magnetic field.

It’s been called the coolest Bond watch ever, and we’d have to agree. Q Branch’s main effort for Live and Let Die was to fit a Rolex Submariner with a magnet “powerful enough to deflect the path of a bullet at long range.” A simple twist of the bezel activates the magnetic field, allowing Bond to protect himself from incoming fire.

Sheer magnetism, darling.
