This is what James Bond's Aston Martin DB5 would look like if it was a wristwatch

This rather well-presented trio of timepieces is the Top Time Chronograph B01 Tribute To Aston Martin DB5 collection, and – well, the clue’s in the name here.

Back in 1965 Sean Connery fundamentally completed looking cool in Thunderball with his Aston Martin DB5 and Breitling Top Time vehicle and watch combo, and with the Swiss watch manufacturer having partnered with the Aston Martin F1 team for 2026, it was only a matter of time before this collection occurred to someone.

Each of the three watches uses the Top Time B01 Chronograph as its foundation, and each captures the elegance of that classic British motor’s analogue workings.

The cheapest of the three is the stainless steel case, limited to 1,022 units and features a silver sunray brushed dial with black subdials and a wood inlay. For you? Just £8,650.

Next up is the steel case version with a platinum fixed bezel and black lacquered dial, with 315 in existence and selling for £14,400.

And at the top of the pricing tree is the gold version, with a calfskin strap and a £35,100 price tag. There are just 250 of them.

Crucially, though, do they actually capture the spirit of Sixties Bond, or his daily driver? That bit’s debatable. The colour palette is warm and vintage, and if you squint hard enough you can just about make out some of the DB5’s interior details like the wooden steering wheel and the analogue gauges manufactured for Aston Martin by SMITHS Instruments. But it is a squint.

Nevertheless, the wood inlay and substantial square case design is a pleasing combo. Bond himself may have moved onto the Omega Seamaster in all his appearances since 1995, but there’s a place for this tribute to old-school grand touring on enthusiasts’ wrists. Well, 1,587 of those wrists, anyway.
