In case you have been in seclusion on a submarine in the Mariana Trench, you cannot have failed to have been bombarded with pubicity and merchandising for the latest Bond movie, Quantum of Solace. While Brummell despises such a blatant display of product placement, he lauds James Bond's immaculate taste and signature effortlessly exquisite style and is happy to offer tips on how to achieve the Bond look - Brummel style.

Daniel Craig is decked out in Tom Ford - and reportedly he wore through more than 50 bespoke suits during the shoot, not to mention five Aston Martins. Craig also wears an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Co-Axial watch. Omega has released a Quantum of Solace limited edition of only 5,007. The black textured surface of its dial - reminiscent of the grip of 007's trademark Walther PPK - distinguishes the Quantum of Solace timepiece from other James Bond limited edition watches. The blood red tip of the seconds hand rotates in stark contrast to the black dial.
