Worn by: Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore
Reference: Rolex GMT-Master
Brand: Rolex
In Goldfinger, Pussy Galore’s Rolex GMT-Master Ref 6542 is more than aviation equipment—it is her declaration of independence. As the leader of a squadron of women pilots and the only character capable of defying both Bond and Goldfinger, she wears the same dual-time tool favored by professionals navigating the globe. The red-and-blue bezel and robust steel case signal mastery of movement, but also moral complexity: Galore lives between time zones and loyalties. The watch’s 24-hour hand and rotating bezel visually echo her role as double agent, and when she finally turns against Goldfinger, that GMT—built to measure distance and direction—marks the moment she finds her own. It is the rare Bond accessory that tells time and character in the same gesture.
Worn by: Sean Connery as James Bond
Reference: Rolex Submariner
Brand: Rolex
A fleeting wrist shot in the Aston Martin sequence immortalized the Submariner as a cinematic icon. The glimmer of its rotating bezel punctuates the luxury and lethality that define the Goldfinger aesthetic: time as weapon and ornament.
