Generally when we lock all the doors, put on a tuxedo t-shirt and fantasise about being James Bond, we don’t reach for our Swatch collection to complete the ensemble.

These three are from Live and Let Die, Goldfinger and the upcoming Quantum of Solace—that’s right, we threw in a Roger Moore movie just to start a geek fight in the comments. [Swatch via OhGizmo]
