Roger Moore's coolest James Bond gadgets
Roger Moore leaves a wealth of great memories from his time as James Bond -- not least his trusty gaggle of gear, including a laser gun and a watch that always saves the day.
Roger Moore 1927-2017
Actor Roger Moore, who played suave secret agent James Bond between 1973 and 1985, has died at age 89. His adventures brought us many memorable action scenes and outfits -- and of course, countless cool gadgets.
Shark gun
In his first outing, "Live and Let Die", Roger Moore's Bond employed a shark gun that fired pressurised air pellets to deal with the villainous Dr Kananga.
Rolex Submariner
Where would James Bond be without his trusty watch? In "Live and Let Die", 007's standard issue Rolex Submariner included an electromagnet and a saw for cutting himself from bondage.
Glastron GT-50
Among the vehicles Roger Moore piloted with panache is the Glastron GT-50 speedboat, commandeered during a high-speed chase in "Live and Let Die".

Stunt performer Jerry Comeaux jumped the speedboat a record 110 feet (34 meters).
Superfluous papilla
In "The Man With The Golden Gun", Roger Moore's Bond impersonates his nemesis Francisco Scaramanga by donning a particular gadget made specially by equipment specialist Q: a stick-on third nipple.
Golden Gun
Fiendish hit man Scaramanga's arsenal of gadgets included his trademark single-shot golden gun built from a pen, cigarette case, lighter and cuff link.
Solex laser cannon
Roger Moore raised a trademark arched eyebrow as Christopher Lee's Scaramanga swapped his golden gun for a bigger one, powered by the golden light of the sun.
Seiko Quartz watch
In 1977's "The Spy Who Loved Me", Roger Moore's 007 switched to a Seiko Quartz watch that had a built-in telex teleprinter for urgent messages from M.
Lotus Esprit submarine
The most iconic gadget of Roger Moore's tenure -- and perhaps the entire Bond series -- is the Lotus Esprit submarine seen in "The Spy Who Loved Me".

The Esprit was nicknamed "Wet Nellie", a reference to a mini-helicopter called "Little Nellie" seen in an earlier film.
Wetbike
Roger Moore rode the Spirit Marine Wetbike prototype in "The Spy Who Loved Me".
Laser pistol
"Moonraker" saw Roger Moore don a spacesuit and use a laser pistol, which fans will remember fondly from the video game GoldenEye years later.
Seiko watch
The Seiko watch had a rather short fuse in "Moonraker". 007 also employed a wrist-worn dart gun to deal with the villainous Hugo Drax.
Bondola
Roger Moore turned heads in his "Bondola" in 1979's "Moonraker".
Identigraph
"For Your Eyes Only" was a deliberately grittier outing for Roger Moore. That meant fewer gadgets -- although Bond and Q did use a computer system called the Identigraph to build up a picture of a mysterious assassin.
ATAC
"For Your Eyes Only" revolved around one particular gadget: the ATAC, a targeting computer for Britain's nuclear missiles.
Walther PPK
Sometimes the only kit Roger Moore's Bond needed was his signature Walther PPK pistol.
Lotus Esprit Turbo
Roger Moore was back in a Lotus Esprit in "For Your Eyes Only".

This Lotus Esprit Turbo had a rather more explosive secret power than its predecessor: it blew up when a henchman tried to break in.
Indian rope trick

Mini-Jet Acrostar BD-5J
The Acrostar mini-plane and its folding wings took off from a fake horsebox in "Octopussy".
Fabergé egg
Actor Louis Jourdan with the Faberge egg at the heart of "Octopussy". Little does he know it contains a listening device and homing beacon, which pairs with Bond's Seiko watch and weaponised Mont Blanc fountain pen.
Renault 11
Bond "borrowed" this Renault 11 from outside the Eiffel Tower -- and proceeded to chop bits off it as he pursued the villainous May Day in "View to a Kill".

Lucky the Renault 11 had front-wheel-drive.
Roger Moore
Goodbye Roger Moore, the suavest James Bond.
