Since the first James Bond film Dr. No was released in 1962, 007’s sleek attire and shiny weaponry emitted a top-tier sense of luxury. And with each new film, viewers are enthralled by the high-tech gadgets and superb fashion statements the spy sports. James Bond is more than a franchise — it’s a cultural phenomenon, rediscovered and beloved by generations of people since the character’s creation by author Ian Fleming. The latest, 25th film in the franchise, No Time To Die, is especially meaningful, as it marks Daniel Craig’s fifth and final performance as the leading man, and the introduction of the first Black woman to play 007, with actor Lashana Lynch tapped for the celebrated role.
The return of James Bond reminds us of the extravagance we all feel while ogling over the luxury aesthetics that have become synonymous with the series. So, it’s only fitting that an arsenal of fashion brands have teamed up with the 007 film series to drop some No Time To Die-inspired products. Sit back, grab yourself a shaken (not stirred) martini, and read on about all the products released in collaboration with the James Bond franchise.
Omega
No Time To Die marks 26 years of collaboration between James Bond and the Swiss luxury watchmaker. Having worked closely with both Craig and filmmakers, Omega presents its Seamaster Diver 300m 007 Edition, available to the public after being test run by James Bond himself in the film.
Swatch
Swatch launched its second special edition watch, called ²Q, inspired and worn by the Switzerland-based brand’s favourite character in No Time To Die, Q, played by English actor Ben Whishaw.
Michael Michael Kors
MMK teamed up with 007 film franchise to release an 11-piece capsule collection, featuring a to-die-for campaign (get it?) with models Bella Hadid and Cindy Bruna. The collection highlights a sleek black and metallic colour palette inspired by the Bond world. Products range from handbags and luggage to swimwear and footwear, and will be available October 19.
