Not too much going on this past week. A few days ago VeVe released 3 new digital James Bond collectibles. Some people love these and some don’t see the point. This video shows that the interactive NFTs can be quite cool and with the rise of Augmented and Virtual Reality, these might become more desirable. Only time will tell, but luckily we have all the time in the world.

The beautiful Aston Martin Vanquish that was one of seven Die Another Day press cars has had a few last-minute optional extras installed before the auction on November 11th.

Don’t forget to enter the latest contest to win £100 to spend at the Steve Oxenrider James Bond Auction at Ewbank’s.

And scroll down to see who won the Globe-Trotter case!

COLLECTING

New James Bond props on VeVe

A new collection of digital, authentic James Bond props and accessories dropped Sunday, 5 November on VeVe.

The James Bond 007 60th Anniversary Legacy Series S001  features three iconic props: the SPECTRE ring, Thunderball jet pack and Moonraker Laser Gun.

CLOTHING

BOGNER 2023 James Bond Collection

BOGNER's 2023 James Bond capsule collection has been released and features a white, black and red color scheme. Not everyone’s taste, but an official 007 collection nonetheless.

WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT

Globe-Trotter Carry-on Trolley

The trivia question was: "Which watch does James Bond wear during the scenes in Matera, Italy, in No Time To Die?"

Here are the multiple-choice answers (and the percentage of people who selected the answer):

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Master Co-Axial: 71.87%
Vintage Omega Chronograph Caliber 321: 1.68%
Omega Seamaster 300M Co-Axial Master: 26.23%
Rolex Submariner: 0.23%

This was a tricky one because although the Seamaster 300M is the most visible watch in the film, Bond actually wears an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M Master Co-Axial watch in the Matera scenes!

WINNER

The winner of the Globe-Trotter No Time To Die Carry-On trolley is Frederik Grenness from Denmark - congratulations!

A big thanks to UNCRATE for the prize and to everyone for entering the contest which was one of the most popular giveaways in Bond Lifestyle history.

This week, I have added Now And Then, the last song by the Beatles which was released last week, to the list. Even though James Bond himself might put on earmuffs, I like the song which has had great input from all members including Live And Let Die theme song writer Paul McCartney. Definitely watch the making-of video and the music video. The Beatles’ history spans about the same time as the Bond film franchise and to be part of a new song release is a special thing. The lyrics and video evoke lots of nostalgia and make us think about the present and the past, which for most of us include great memories of Bond and Beatles. My 12” vinyl of the song will be delivered today, probably while you are reading this.
