The Bond film, Octopussy, caused a furor in England. In it, Moore’s Bond, with a Seiko TV Watch on his wrist, turns his attention to a young lady who works as one of Q’s assistants
Octopussy is probably the best Bond movie for digital watches.
In addition to the G757 we also get a glimpse into the future when Bond pays Major Boothroyd a visit down in Q-Branch where he demos the Seiko T001-5019 LCD TV Watch.
While Bond dismissively uses this amazing new technology to sexually harass co-workers, the T001 is an important piece of horological history as the world’s 1st TV watch to be sold retail.
The picture quality of the actual T001 was a grainy greenish grey, and was nowhere near as high def as it appeared in Octopussy by means of cinematic visual trickery.
