    Lightbulb SEIKO G757 manual is online (James Bond watch from "Octopussy")

    Just posted a complete set of operating instructions for the SEIKO G757 from Octopussy on the James Bond Watches website. English only, 20 pages.

    This is what we've labeled the "Pseudo-Analogue SEIKO" in our definitive list of James Bond watches from Eon Productions films. Per the prop department, it supposedly featured a built-in tracker from Q Branch. Most folks remember it as the one that kept getting close-ups as James Bond raced to the Octopussy Circus in hopes of getting there in time to de-activate the nuclear bomb.





    Formally, it's a "SEIKO Quartz Digital Type Calibre G757 Graphic Alarm Chronograph Sports 100" wristwatch. Specific to what Roger Moore wore in the film, that was a calibre G757-5020, model WLK005.

    Hope you all find this useful.

    Oh man, I lusted for that watch when it first came out (i was too young to care about the bond girls then, they just got in the way of a good movie). Put my nose up to the windows of watch stores everytime one was on display and read all the ads about it

    So, because I am a nut, I actually comped this up as a it would have been made. Thicker cover, double sided and all. Very, very excited to have it...even if its just handmade
