Rolex, Omega… Pulsar? New James Bond Watch Exhibit Focuses on the Quartz Era
To readers of Ian Fleming’s original James Bond novels and those who fondly recall the early Sean Connery films, Agent 007 will always be a Rolex man. To younger fans, who’ve known no cinematic Bond other than Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig, Bond is inseparable from Omega.

Ferrite, meteor, and other ��stone�� type dials
I was in an ad today and they had a ferrite dial day date. I had never seen one before. Needless to say it was beautiful. They didn't have a meteor dial but I am aware of them. (Man I would love to own a meteor dial one day.) I think I saw a tiger eye dial one time and mop dials are fairly common. This got me wondering about the other Rolex dials made of natural substances (other than gold and platinum) like stones and meteors. Does anyone know or have a picture of any other types of stone or natural material dials? Thank you in advance. Love the information on this site.
