The Gadgets

Bonds Briefcase:

Making its only appearance in FROME RUSSIA WITH LOVE, Bond's standard issue briefcase was the first, and perhaps the most authentic, of any of his spy gadgets. Equipped with a flat bladed throwing knife, 50 gold sovereigns, 20 rounds of ammunition, an AR7 folding sniper's rifle and a canister of tear gas, the briefcase came to Bond's rescue when held at gunpoint by Red Grant.

Jet Pack:

A memorable gadget used by Bond in Thunderball, the jet pack could raise one person as high as 600 feet. It helps Bond to make a quick escape in the opening moments of the film. As in his words, "no well-dressing man without this".

Bond Watches:

Seiko 1:

Bond's first gadget laden Seiko appeared in MOONRAKER. Packed with plastic explosive, the watch could be set to go off "bang on time". The watch allowed Bond and Dr. Goodhead to escape from being cremated below Drax's Moonraker 5 space shuttle.

Seiko 2:

Bond had another Seiko in OCTOPUSSY, equipped with a directional locator which picked up the frequency emitted by a tiny transmitter hidden inside a Faberge Egg.

Omega:

Worn by 007 in GOLDENEYE, this very stylish Omega Seamaster Professional Diver's Watch has a laser hidden in its dial, which helps 007 escape from the villain's private train when it has been set to explode. It also acts as the remote detonator for Bond's explosive devices.

Little Nellie:

An autogiro which could be assembled from four leather cases to become a small, manouverable one-man helicopter. Nellie included two machine guns, two rocket launchers, two fire throwers, aerial mines and a device which created smoke screens.

Dart Gun:

Worn around wrist like a watch and triggered by nerve impulses, the dart gun came with 5 blue-tipped armour piercing darts and 5 red-tipped darts which were cyanide coated.

Mini-Jet Acrostar:

James Bond fly it in the pre-title sequence or Octopussy. It's a very small, manouverable and fast mini-jet. It's parked in a horse-box.
