If James Bond had to have a "Sport Chic" watch, this would be it! A Seamaster yes, but a gold Seamaster made by and for the English market, more precisely in Birmingham (anchor mark) in 1965 (symbol of the number 2). A rarity, especially in this beautiful condition!
Produced during the year of the release of the movie Operation Thunder, take yourself for Sean Connery in his Aston
Martin DB5, with as soundtrack, the voice of Tom Jones!
For anecdote, this movie of the James Bond saga is one of the few that makes a stop in Paris, where the Spectre's headquarters is located in a building of the Avenue Eylau, in the 16th district.
