To younger fans, who've known no cinematic Bond other than Pierce Brosnan and However daniel craig, Bond is inseparable from Omega. However a new exhibit in the National Watch and Clock Museum (NAWCC) in Columbia, PA, reveals which the British superspy has also strapped over a amount of other brands over time, including Seiko, Hamilton, and TAG Heuer, all outfitted with - gasp! - quartz movements."James Bond Wore the Quartz Revolution watches ," which opens on June 3 at NAWCC, is curated by 007 expert, founding father of JamesBondWatches.com, and occasional WatchTime contributor Dell Deaton. The exhibit marks initially that "screen-correct" designs of all 12 quartz wristreplica watches worn in the Mission impossible films through the period spanning 1973 through 1995 are going to be assembled side by side plus running condition. With the popular culture icon of James Bond, Deaton hopes to utilize the exhibit to "correct myths arguing which the Quartz Revolution was only about producing replica watches cheaper.""This exhibit seeks to describe why this revolution happened if this happened and shows operate continues to remain invaluable to contemporary society—at the very least ,, to reopen the discussion and move beyond cliche," Deaton states within the NAWCC's blog post. "The most critical upshot of the Quartz Revolution was who's delivered a vast leap in one's personal, mobile power to control his very own timekeeping. It turned out the culmination of an centuries-old pursuit, also it was delivered at exactly the period in the past when consumers wanted because of it and demanding it. None of this was simple or obvious because it was happening. The Quartz Revolution is essentially a consumer-driven storyBy focusing on the fictional 'James Bond' character, we build a proxy for that consumer which will stand being a brand on equal footing with that surrounding watchmakers. Thus, we can easily tell this story from the necessary, original perspective. I additionally feel that can make it more globally objective as well."Below are a few notable highlight pieces from "James Bond Wore the Quartz Revolution."

Bond's watch from the movie was the TAG Heuer Night Diver reference 980.031, outfitted using a quartz movement, as were most TAG Heuers right at that moment.
