The mighty 300m diver…” was in fact rated to 660ft/200m and was the watch that Fleming himself owned which is why it was originally used by Bond. As for the latest “Seamaster Diver 300M Commander’s Watch Limited Edition” it not only comes with a Nato strap but also a SS one.

If I recall correctly he demolished two on the faces of evildoers.

Ian Fleming is well known for incorporating specific brands in his tales.

Great books, read them!
