A nickname given when the watch's replacement was worn by Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye, released in 1995. Noting this, collectors gave the watch's pre-Goldeneye generation the nickname Pre Bond, prior to its appearance in this series of spy films. Released at the height of the quartz era, our lot benefits from an automatic caliber, rather rare for this model.
