George Lazenby — watch collection

About George Lazenby’s watch collection

George Lazenby is an Australian actor best known for his single appearance as James Bond in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969). His portrayal of 007 remains one of the most discussed Bond films, introducing audiences to a fresh interpretation of the iconic spy character. Beyond his film career, Lazenby has worked in television and theatre, building a reputation as a versatile performer across multiple decades.

The George Lazenby watch collection centers almost exclusively on Rolex, reflecting the brand's strong association with the Bond franchise. For On Her Majesty's Secret Service, EON Productions selected a Rolex Ref. 6238 Pre-Daytona Chronograph in stainless steel as Lazenby's on-screen timepiece. This three-register chronograph with silver dial became highly visible throughout the film, particularly in key scenes, and helped establish the Ref. 6238 as a cornerstone of vintage Rolex collecting.

Lazenby has been spotted wearing multiple Rolex models beyond the 6238, including the Rolex Submariner Reference 5513 in stainless steel and the Rolex Submariner 6358. These watches represent the practical, professional aesthetic associated with Bond films—robust tool watches rather than luxury dress pieces. His preference for Rolex sport models, particularly chronographs and divers, aligns with the brand's positioning during the 1960s as equipment for active professionals. The selection of these specific references for Bond cinema has made them among the most sought-after vintage Rolex watches by collectors today.
