Essentials: 007
Sean Connery. Roger Moore. Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig. No matter which man has played the role, the image is the same: The perpetually cool Agent 007.
James Bond has captured our hearts and imaginations for 60 years now—and the character has developed a style that’s both immediately recognizable and timelessly fashionable.
And while you may not be the next Bond, this collection of 007 essentials will get you in the mood to order your martinis shaken, not stirred.
Shaken Not Stirred Print
Roger Moore was the third actor to portray James Bond—and the one with the most Bond movies of any actor to date. And while 007 enthusiasts can argue eternally about the best Bond, Moore is without a doubt a great in the Bond pantheon. In this print from Sonic Editions, our favorite international man of mystery knocks back a Martini (shaken, not stirred, of course) while smoking through a fine English cigarette. Quintessential Bond stuff if we’ve ever seen it, and a great decoration for any man cave.
OMEGA James Bond 007 Edition Seamaster
Daniel Craig’s version of James Bond brings with it a muscular swagger—and that’s exactly the kind of style you’ll see in the Omega Seamaster 007 Edition watch. It’s identical to the watch Bond wears in No Time to Die, from the titanium case to the brown tropical bezel ring and dial. And should you get into any 007-level antics and jump into the nearest canal to escape your enemies, it’s rated to 1000 feet of depth, like all of Omega’s Seamaster watches.
Barton Perreira 007 Thunderball Sunglasses
Released in 1965 as the fourth installation in the 007 series, Thunderball was actually designed as the first Bond film—but legal disputes around the screenplay kept it hidden away for four years. That gave it time to mature like a fine wine, and it’s still considered one of the most impactful Bond movies of all time. Barton Perreira pays homage to the legendary film and its leading man with their 007 Thunderball Sunglasses modeled after the square-rimmed ones worn by Sean Connery.
Brooks Brothers Tuxedo Shirt
If the outfit makes the man, then this Brooks Brothers Tuxedo Shirt will get you well on your way towards a life of globe-trotting spy dramas and bedding lovely ladies. It’s exactly the kind Bond would wear, with a ten pleat design and wing collar. Pair it with a black suit (the next item on this list), a half dozen Martinis, and a high-speed foot chase, and you’re good to go.
Richard James Hyde Peak Evening Jacket
Bond isn’t Bond without his black suits. Sure, he can be found in all sorts of other outfits—skimpy swim shorts, jungle-exploring attire—but at heart, the image of Bond is bonded with the style and panache of a suit. The Richard James Hyde Park Peak Evening Jacket will channel some of that icy cool machismo into your wardrobe.
Montblanc Meisterstück Gold-Coated LeGrand Ballpoint Pen
There’s a right way and a wrong way to incorporate gold into your daily use gear. Right way: Keeping it classy with things that are both beautiful and useful. Wrong way: Wearing a half ton of oversized gold jewelry. Montblanc’s Meisterstück Legrand Ballpoint Pen is the epitome of the right way, combining ultra-smooth writing with high-contrast black resin and gold accents.
Dango M007 Limited Edition Maverick Wallet
The Limited Edition Dango 007 Maverick holds 10 cards and even features a MT04 multi-tool. Yes, that means this wallet can chisel, cut seat belts, open bottles, plus seven other functions. It’s machined out of aerospace aluminum and hand-polished nickel, mixing elegance with tactical coolness.
