The Seiko H357 5040 was used by Bond in the 1981 movie For Your Eyes Only. In the movie Bond receives a message on the digital display.

This watch is, like all the Seiko's used in Bond movies, quite rare. Beware of sellers on eBay offering similar Seiko models, claiming it to be the Bond watch, but there is only one correct model Seiko H357 5040, and that is the one pictured here.

I have owned this watch since 1981 but cannot wear it as the strap is broken.
Excellent watch and still modern today.
Has anyone out there got a bracelet or spare links.
Unforunately Seiko no longer do spares for this watch which is shamefull as it must now be a collectors item.

I've got an H357-5040 that I've had since new in 1982. The seal on the backplate is now defective and it has lost both its function buttons. I'm not sure if these can be replaced? But the casing and bracelet are both fine, and it still tells the time! If it can't be repaired, is anyone interested in buying it for 'spares'?
