In celebration of the 60th anniversary of Sean Connery’s James Bond fight against Gert Fröbe’s Auric Goldfinger, Crockett & Jones have unveiled two aptly themed designs that have every ounce of the movie’s elegance and class. The Highbury 2 is a classic dark brown calf suede Derby-style shoe that elevates any look you wear. This Derby shoe has a complete leather lining, the Crockett & Jones’ ‘City’ rubber sole, and is decked out with an all-black interior and silver foiling.

For a slipper option, the brand has brought out all the stops for a luxurious James Bond velvet option that even 007 would wear to formal gatherings. Inspired by the traditional Albert slipper, this design includes the Bond coat of arms and the family motto. Featuring quilted linings, these slippers not only look luxurious but they feel lavish as well. Both limited edition pieces come in unique packaging and come equipped with a handmade shoe tree and chrome shoe horn with the 007 logo. Both options are available via Crockett & Jones’ web store and retail for $995 and $650 respectively.

Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and more: These are the best watches James Bond ever wore

You have a favorite James Bond, but do you have a favorite Bond watch?

Daniel Craig as James Bond in Skyfall

James Bond is one of the most iconic menswear idols. He has introduced staples to men’s wardrobes for 60 years, including the tuxedo and the shoe knife. Ok, maybe the second one is not quite a staple as the first, but it was still one we dreamt about since the moment we saw it on screen. However, there is one accessory that James Bond wore in every movie that created an entire industry in and of itself. Every time the British super spy wore a watch, we men rushed out to find their own version to emulate 007.

Of course, after over two dozen movies under his belt, there is a cornucopia of options you can grab. These probably won’t print out a message like a label maker, or laser cut a hole in the bottom of a train, but they will definitely tell the time in the most stylish way and help you feel ready to defend His Majesty’s kingdom. Here are the best watches the spy ever wore.
