In You Only Live Twice, James Bond wears a Gruen Precision 510 watch. This is a bit of a different watch to be featured in a Bond film as typically they’re either Rolex or Seiko. However, in You Only Live Twice, Bond opted for Gruen, which was an American brand. Founded in 1894, it ceased trading in 1958 years before this movie was made.

However, such is the quality of Gruen watches is that they’re still working today and this particular watch can still be purchased. You may think this watch is quite rare but surprisingly it’s not too difficult to get hold of and typically costs around $1000. Arguably, this is one of the more subtle watches that 007 wears due to its minimalist gold case and white dial combination.
