James Bond fans are convinced that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been cast as the new 007 - and it's all because of a brand partnership with a watch company.

Omega took to Instagram to announce their latest partnership with Taylor-Johnson, including the actor in a joint post. You can check out the photo below. Fans were quick to point out that James Bond has been wearing an Omega watch since 1995, and that this must mean that Taylor-Johnson - who has been rumored to be the next Bond for quite some time - is hinting at his takeover of the role.

"If they're welcoming Aaron Taylor-Johnson into the Omega Brand Ambassador Family then he's definitely the next James Bond," one person wrote.

"The fact that Aaron Taylor-Johnson just signed with Omega and Henry Cavill is with Longines doesn’t bode well for Cavill becoming James Bond," wrote another.

"Is this confirmation he is the new Bond? Coincidence? I think not," one fan said.

"Just announce him as Bond and make some movies already," said another.

"He's definitely got the job," someone else tweeted.
