AND it was a .25ACP Beretta at first, then a .32ACP Walther PPK.

In the first Bond flick Dr. No (his first movie) when they introduced the Walther PPK for the first time.. he did not want to give up his beloved Beretta .25 acp.

I'm pretty sure the watch he wore was always an "Omega" That's what I remember anyway.

Connery's Bond wore a Rolex submariner, on a NATO strap. There are good views of the watch on a striped NATO strap and now that color scheme is known as a "Bond" NATO.

Here is the watch and strap as shown in the beginning of the movie "Goldfinger":

As for what knife he would carry, I would think something thin and light, possibly modified by Q branch. A BM 710 would be close, or Bradley Alias 1. It might be an automatic. I would think that he would carry it in his waistband somehow, not clipped in his pocket. I can also imagine him carrying a small dagger, a small version of a traditional British bayonet, maybe even in an upside down sheath on the off side of his shoulder holster harness.
 
I would say an Emerson combat karambit fixed blade. Under arm sheath for weak side draw with an Emerson police utility on the calf.
 
By Jove he did have a Rolex! I googled James Bond watch and it came up Omega ,,,they even have a 50th anniversary watch for 50 years of Bond wearing an Omega! Oh we'll?

Yup, see above clip from the movie.



Here's another interesting one:

I'll go for small sebenza. Definitely with an inlay.

Alternatives: all Al Mar

--Sere or Mini Sere

--Fixed blade: Sere or Mini Sere Operator

--One of the Ultralights with the talon blade


The Sere gives him an elegant knife yet designed for military and rough use.

The ultralights are very light and very classy.
 
I'd say the Umarex Walther Backup, given his gun choice. Or the viper keeper or a Microtech Nemesis.

Since I was thinking about it - these Loveless New York specials would fit the bill, both are made by David Sharp. Hover over, or click the pictures to make them bigger...:)
