Watching Movies: Sean Connery Originates The Role Of James Bond Wearing A Rolex Submariner Ref. 6538 In ‘Dr. No’

There are times when popular culture and the world of watches intersect. And then there’s James Bond. Since 1962, film lovers the world over have watched 007 take to the screen with all of his specific charm. Dr. No is the foundational film of the series and introduces Bond – the former central figure in a series of spy novels by legendary author Ian Fleming – to popular culture. We get the tuxedos, the vodka martinis, the penchant for “romance,” and of course the watches. And while Bond wears two timepieces in this inaugural film, we’ll be looking at the introduction of a certain well-known diver that he pairs with a leather strap.
