MOERIS James Bond 007 Automatic Cal. 2622 Steel 34mm Men's watch
The Moeris Watch Factory was established in the small Swiss town of Saint-Imier in 1893. The company was known for producing high-quality complicated watches, and a quick review of the listings on Chrono24 prove this. By 1957, the company claimed to have produced over 10 million watches and seems to have been a modest but respected brand. But the company was losing its way by the 1960s.
In 1966, Moeris invited the press to a special reveal at the Basel Fair: The first-even officially-licensed James Bond 007 watch! The result was quite modern for the time (and the company) with an angular brushed case and square “007” inscribed crown. The almost-octagonal case bears a striking resemblance to today’s Bulgari Octo, with the short “shoulders” and flat sides.
Inside the James Bond 007 watch (yes, that was the model name) was a gold-plated 25 jewel automatic ETA movement. It looks like an ETA 2622 or similar based on the unusual integrated automatic winding/balance bridge. This would be a moderately-expensive movement for the time, in keeping with an upscale watch. Although it appears at a glance to have date windows at 6 and 12, these are actually applied numeral markers, with thin sticks marking the rest of the hours. The red seconds hand is a nice touch. The case back features an engraving of the agent himself, apparently taken from the Renato Fratini image used to promote “From Russia with Love” in 1963.
