Spotlight on: Daniel Craig, and his watches as James Bond.
Daniel Craig was introduced as the new James Bond in 2006,
becoming the seventh actor to assume the iconic role.
He has portrayed Agent 007 over the next 15 years,
with the Craig era being known for its realistic plots, with a 21st-century edge.
Daniel will play Bond for the fifth and last time in this year's No Time To Die.
We'll surely miss him as he takes his final mission!
Here's a look back at all of Daniel Craig's Bond watches, through the years.

Daniel marked his first Bond film with not one, but two Omega watches.
The film opens with a chase scene in Madagascar, where we see Daniel wearing an Omega Seamaster
Planet Ocean in steel. Bond wears this watch in all of the outdoor scenes in the movie.
In more formal scenes, he wore an Omega Seamaster 300 meter,
in a 41 millimeter stainless steel case. In an interesting development, the blue wave
dial timepiece didn't have special Q-features, like the ones Pierce Brosnan wore in 007 films.
In Quantum of Solace, Daniel sported an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 meter watch,
with a cool and classic black dial, and discreet stainless steel body and bracelet.
Again, this watch appeared without gadgets.
A limited edition version of this watch was also released, with a black textured dial,
and a blood red tip-of-the-seconds hand. The words Quantum of Solace also appear below the hands.
In the opening scenes of SkyFall,
Daniel wore an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean with a 42 millimeter case and black dial.
The exact watch he wore was a titanium piece especially made for the action scenes of SkyFall.
It was later sold at the Christie’s “50 Years of Bond” auction.
Omega commercially released a similar watch in steel.
To celebrate the film, Omega also launched a limited edition "SkyFall" Seamaster Planet
Ocean which comes with a matte structured black dial, and a 007 logo at 7 o'clock.
While he wore a Planet Ocean in the action scenes for SkyFall,
he switched to a stainless steel Aqua Terra for the casino scenes. The watch features
a blue vertical teak pattern dial, and a date indicator at the 3 o'clock position.
He also wore a newer version of the blue dial Aqua Terra in 2015's Spectre, particularly in
the opening sequence in Mexico, and in the car and helicopter chase scenes near the end of the film.
For most of the scenes in Spectre, Daniel wore a Seamaster 300 Limited Edition in stainless steel.
It was paired with a NATO strap, reminiscent of
the ones worn by Sean Connery in classic Bond films, Goldfinger and Thunderball.
The watch features a unique bezel with numbers that go from 1 to 11, and then a 0, instead of the
number 12. It also has faux vintage Super-Luminova markers, that emphasize its retro styling.
In his final Bond film, Daniel will wear an Omega Seamaster Diver 300 Meter in a 42 millimeter case,
made of strong but lightweight Grade 2 titanium.
Omega worked closely with Daniel and the filmmakers in creating this timepiece,
whose retro-cool look is achieved through the brown tropical aluminum bezel ring,
vintage Super-Luminova markers, and mesh bracelet.
Strong, suave, and handsome – Daniel Craig’s Omega watches were made for Bond. James Bond.
