Footnote
This classic, understated, style of watch was very popular in the late 1950s and 1960s. Candid photographs prior to filming, show Sean Connery as James Bond on the set of Dr. No wearing a very similar design, no doubt his personal watch as in 1968, he is wearing the same watch in photos of him with Bridget Bardot.
