That is right Flemings second novel and written before he got his Explorer.

Here is a photo taken in 1962 on the set of Dr No and he is definitely not wearing an Explorer, it looks to me like an Omega or Longines, or maybe any other kind of white dialed watch, could even be an IWC, it's too difficult to tell.
