Q&A

For this newsletter, we’re speaking to watch connoisseur Lorenzo Anselmo aka “OmegaBondWatches” on Instagram and Youtube. Lorenzo currently owns every James Bond screen-worn Omega model and also collects other James Bond items like clothes, shoes and other accessories. He loves helping new and established collectors with their next timepieces acquisitions so feel free to reach out to him via Instagram.

Q. Which three Bond clothes or accessories do you wear the most?
A. Obviously, an Omega watch is not a surprise answer here and it varies from day to day. The other two items again vary from day to day: I have an array of Crockett and Jones styles I rotate between, my favorite being the Hamilton 60th Anniversary boots. Lastly, I wear a lot of sunglasses, living in Las Vegas it’s essential. My go-to pair are the Barton Perreira Joe. They are just the best all-around in my opinion - stylish, durable and I love the glass lenses.

Q. If you could keep only 1 item of your Bond collection, what would it be?
A. This is an easy answer for me, the 1967 Vintage Omega Seamaster Chronograph (Ref: ST 101.010-65). It’s the same watch model worn at the end of SPECTRE by Daniel Craig. This was a Christmas gift from my darling wife, Cassandra (@mrsomegabondwatches). The watch has so much meaning for both of us. We both wear it sparingly. My fondest memory of the watch is when I wore it at the alter when we were getting married. It’s truly priceless to us.

Q. What is your most popular post/video?
A. Surprisingly, it was a Reel I shot with Speedmaster that Omega lent to me while I had a watch at service. I had it on a stainless steel Milanese Bracelet and questioned if this was a watch that Bond could wear in the future. The video got over 575k views and 20k likes. Definitely one of my most popular posts ever.

Q. Which Bond location do you still want to visit?
A. II really want to visit Italy and all the Bond locations there. However, Goldeneye, Jamaica is probably top of the list right now. There is just so much Bond nostalgia in GoldenEye, how can you not want to visit as a Bond fan.

Q. If you could meet any Bond actor (even if they’re no longer with us), who would that be and why?
A. I would love to meet Pierce Brosnan, I feel like he would be a fascinating person to talk to in general. He was my first Bond and was the one who really got me hooked on the character and the franchise.

Q. Which Bond-related song do you want to add to the Bond Lifestyle Playlist on Spotify / YouTube?
A. I love a lot of music outside of the Bond soundtracks, since it’s fresh in my mind, from Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Soundtrack, The Plot Thickens by Lorne Balfe.

Q. Rolex or Omega?
A. Rolex… will not be my choice lol. I am very brand loyal to Omega, because of the emotional connection I share with the brand. However, I’m not going to say I will never own a Rolex either. They make wonderful timepieces. I just don’t have the connection or relationship with the brand… yet.
