Sorta sounds like a line from the 1995 movie GoldenEye, right?
Although book reviews and internet chatter mention the replica James Bond Rolex watch, Replica Omega James Bond over 11 times as often, Mr Deaver names replica Breitling by brand almost twice as often in his original prose.
This replica Breitling is an important watch. We actually read about it on Bond’s wrist before we’re told that he is the one wearing it. At several points throughout the first half of Carte Blanche, Rolex is equated with replica James Bond not just as trajectory from where Ian Fleming left off in the early 1960s, but in a signature moment at the airport in South Africa.
Thus I found it quite clever of Jeffery Deaver in Chapter 34 to introduce a character by the name of Eugene J Theron, who “must have been successful; a heavy gold bracelet encircled his right wrist and his watch was a flashy Breitling.”
The replica Breitling for Bentley wristwatch doesn’t just tell us a bit about Gene Theron. It also sets up readers to slow realization that Theron is in fact James Bond — disguised, undercover.
When I spoke in person with Mr Deaver last Tuesday in New York City about his James Bond watch choices for Carte Blanche, I asked about this Breitling. Was it, too, based on a real-world, specific watch model?

“No,” he said. “Not really.”
Rather, his basis for selection was based on having seen some “extremely big” models, needing to provide Bond with a watch that would immediately, conspicuously indicate the trappings of success. To wit: Taken from a police evidence locker, property of an incarcerated drug dealer, Jeffery Deaver describes it in Carte Blanche as “flashy,” “gaudy,” and “huge.”
Sans specifics, then, I approached my friends at Lewis Jewelers in Ann Arbor, Michigan, to discuss possibilities. Visitors to the National Watch & Clock Museum “Bond” exhibits will recall that all of the Omega watches displayed there were sourced through Lewis. They’ve also achieved status as one of the premier authorized dealers in the world for Breitling.
In an era when actor Daniel Craig has been seen to nonchalantly wear a 45.5mm Omega Planet Ocean as Agent 007 in the 2006 movie Casino Royale, current Breitling models with past association to the film franchise, such as the Navitimer, could hardly be considered huge. In fact, the Navitimer struck me as on-par with the Omega 2531.80 Seamaster that I was wearing to assess options at the store.
Moreover, I can’t think of another replica Breitling model in the main (consistent with Mr Deaver’s specifications) that I’d call “flashy.”
What, then, is the Carte Blanche replica James Bond Breitling watch?
Ron Peterson of Lewis suggests “Breitling for Bentley,” personally having shown me a range of options this past weekend — most likely candidate for the James Bond watch in Carte Blanche being the “Motors T Speed” (48.7mm case size), pictured above. Mr Deaver’s fictional bad-guy Severan Hydt estimates Bond’s Breitling watch is worth £5,000. But as readers know all-too-chillingly-well, Hydt doesn’t think of anything in terms of new, undoubtedly seeing everything from a mindset of how it might be depreciated. So we had to factor that in when considering options vis-à-vis MSRP. And, that said, Mr Peterson advised me that the information given in the novel makes the 007 Breitling much more likely stainless steel than a gold wristwatch model.
Further considering the strong association between Bentley Motors and the Carte Blanche publication, it is even easier to see how the impression of a huge “Breitling for Bentley” watch could be made without concerted pursuit of any one specimen.
So, that’s as far as folks can ever go in narrowing down this James Bond Breitling watch; it’s as far as Jeffery Deaver went, I can report here, having spoken directly with him about it.
And yet— what a great range of choices we now have before us in looking for something “consistent” with what we do know. Consider this your own nice bit of carte blanche if you’d like to own a contemporary Breitling watch with James Bond pedigree. Bitte sehen replica uhr oder Replica IWC
