Here's a screen cap of General Hammond's wristwatch. The image on the right is a screen cap of James Bond's Rolex Sumariner 6538 in the film "Dr. No"

This one has really got me stumped. The case looks very much like an Omega Seamaster 300, but the dial and bezel look different from any example I've found.
Notice the unique Omega Seamaster lugs on the case where the band attaches.
Hammond's Watch characteristics:
1. Rotating Bezel with numerals at 10 minute intervals.
2. Appears that there are no minute marks between 0 & 15 on the bezel.
3. Small teeth-like serations on edge of rotating bezel (aka "Coin Edge Bezel").
4. Watch hour hand appears to have fat/wide portion near tip (possibly a star logo hour hand, aka "Mercedes Hands").
5. Watch dial appears to have upside-down triangle at 12 O'clock position, long lines at the 6 & 9 markers, date at 3 O'clock marker and round dots at all other hour markers.
6. There is no Chronometer function.
7. No case shoulders to protect the crown.
This is a classic dive watch which is immitated mercilessly by Invicta. Timex and just about every other watchmaker have a similar model.
It is very similar, if not genuinely a Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster of unknown vintage.
These type watches appear to have their stylistic roots in the 1953 Blancpain-Fifty Fathoms and especially the 1954 Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner 6200 as well as later Submariner models such as 5513.
