George Lazenby — watch collection

About George Lazenby’s watch collection

George Lazenby is an Australian actor best known for playing James Bond in the 1969 film On Her Majesty's Secret Service, making him the second actor to take on the role in the EON Productions series. Before landing 007, Lazenby had built a career as a model, appearing in campaigns across Europe that gave him the look and presence that caught the attention of producers. His single outing as Bond remains one of the more closely studied entries in the franchise — a film now widely reassessed as one of the stronger entries in the series after years of underestimation. Beyond Bond, Lazenby pursued a varied acting career across film and television, with appearances spanning several decades and multiple continents.

The George Lazenby watch collection, as captured in our database across three sightings, centers entirely on Rolex — a brand that, fittingly, became inseparable from the Bond identity during that era. One of the more fascinating entries documents Lazenby appearing in the 1967 EON Productions film You Only Live Twice, prior to his own Bond debut, wearing a Rolex Submariner reference 5513. That sighting is notable because it connects two consecutive Bond actors to a single reference — Lazenby visible on screen while Sean Connery still held the 007 title. The 5513, a non-date Submariner produced from 1962 through 1989, was a workhorse of the line and a fixture in the spy films of that period.

What the collection reflects is a tight but historically layered relationship between Lazenby and the watch that defined Bond's wrist during the Connery and Lazenby years. The Submariner 5513 in particular carries weight here — not just as a prop but as a thread running through a specific chapter of cinema history. For collectors and Bond watch enthusiasts, Lazenby sightings with this reference carry an added layer of context that makes each one worth examining carefully.
