Kingston… as in Kingston Jamaica. The country where fictious character James Bond, played for the first time by actor Sean Connery, is sent to investigate the death of a fellow British agent. In the 1962 movie, Sean Connery is show on several occasions wearing an early Rolex Submariner.
According to I already have a watch.com editor Rrryan, the Submariner belonged to director Terence Young and it was fitted with a standard nylon strap to be worn by Sean Connery during takes.

Mr. Bill Yao has been working on a faithful homage to the original Submariner (the design of which is now in the public domain). Note the folded/riveted bracelet links faithful to the original.
It appears the Kingston was manufactured in a very limited series of 100 pieces. Probably all sold out. There are 2 different dial plates: one without the date window, and the other one with. There were several dial print, hands colours and bezel inserts to choose from.
