Ok Guys its like this.Ian Flemming who wrote Bond wore a Rolex.His hero in the book James Bond wore a Rolex.The reason for this is that Flemming and Bond were both ex Royal Navy.At this time in British History the Royal Navy was the place where M15 recruted most of their operatives.Nearly all top ranking officers in M15 were from the RN.And guess what was the only watch issued to Royal Navy personall.Yes a Rolex!Ian Flemming worked for M15,before becoming a author.
Omega just like IWC with their Top Gun watches,have just used the film to try to promote their watches.Now we all know that Bond films are just harmless fun for the masses.And if the masses want to believe that their hero wears a Omega,that is all down to the Omega marketing department.But one thing they cannot do is rewrite the truth.
I myself was issued with a Sub in the RN.It was the only watch at this time that could take the punishment we put them through.
Rolex would never name a new Moonwatch after a science fiction film.The Moonwatch is the Omega.And the real Bond watch is a Rolex Sub.
