Watch light

The Omega Seamaster, model 2531.80.00, from The world is not enough.

"The first is an illumination light that is used when 007 and Electra get trapped in an avalanche, and 007's inflatible ski jacket forms a dark, protective bubble around them. There are blue LED lights at all of the hour markers on the watches face as well as another ring of LEDs just inside that. The light is activated by turning the bezel."


Lotus Esprit S1















The Lotus Esprit from The spy who loved me.

"The Lotus Esprit shot to fame in the 1977 James Bond Film, The Spy Who Loved Me, staring Roger Moore and Barbara Bach. The screen role of the Esprit in this film did more for Esprit sales than anything else Lotus attempted to do. How the Esprit came to feature in the film is a story of chance. Donovan McLauchlan, Colin Chapman's PR man, had been tipped off that the Bond movie was scheduled for Pinwood studios. So during 1975 he took a pre-production Esprit to the studios, dropped a quid to the doorman and left the Esprit prototype right in the path of anyone trying to get in or out. This gave the car maximum exposure and it wasn't long before Cubby Broccoli and the production staff saw the car and were so impressed with it, they chose the Esprit as James Bonds car in the film."

Armalite AR-7

Armatlite AR-7 from From russia with love.

"Bond uses an Armalite AR-7 survival rifle, issued to him by Q, to assassinate Krilencu. Kerim Bey (Pedro Armendariz) eventually does the shooting. Q mistakenly reports the rifle to be .25 caliber, while it actually fires a .22 Long Rifle cartridge."
