Breaking Bad (2008)

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad (2008 to 2013) is Vince Gilligan's chemistry-teacher-turned-kingpin saga. A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family's future. (IMDb) The AMC drama premiered on 20 January 2008 and ran five seasons and 62 episodes to its 29 September 2013 finale, set and shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bryan Cranston plays Walter White opposite Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, with Anna Gunn as Skyler White, Dean Norris as DEA agent Hank Schrader, Bob Odenkirk as lawyer Saul Goodman and Giancarlo Esposito as distributor Gus Fring.

Watches

Casio CA-53W-1

Worn by Bryan Cranston as Walter White. Walt's daily watch from the pilot until Jesse's Monaco arrives in season five is the resin-cased Casio CA-53W-1 calculator watch, its eight-digit keypad plainly visible whenever he clasps his hands, a twenty-dollar tool for a man who still thinks of himself as a chemistry teacher.

TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12

Worn by Bryan Cranston as Walter White. Jesse gives Walt the blue Monaco for his 51st birthday in season five's “Fifty-One”; Walt later uses its chronograph to time the coordinated prison killings in “Gliding Over All.” (Teddy Baldassarre)

Mossimo C311-11

Worn by Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman. Through season two Jesse wears what WatchReel reads as a Mossimo C311-11, a chromed Target-era ana-digi with a small analog dial at 12 and three digital eyes across a sunburst face, a twenty-dollar fashion-sport watch on a wrist earning cartel money. The on-screen branding is never legible, so the exact reference remains probable rather than confirmed. (WatchReel)

Mossimo (unidentified model)

Worn by Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman. Early in the run Jesse also checks the time on a square-cased fashion watch: black dial with dot markers and a crest at 12, polished case, wide brown cuff strap. WatchReel reads the crest as Mossimo's shield mark, but no frame shows the name outright, so the brand stays probable and the model unidentified. (WatchReel)

Unidentified watch

Worn by Anna Gunn as Skyler White. Skyler's dress watch is a small steel tonneau on a dark leather strap: white dial, black Arabic numerals, blued hands, and a small-seconds register at 9 o'clock, an off-standard sub-dial position that rules out most rectangular dress watches and has so far defeated identification.

Casio G-Shock G-2500

Worn by Dean Norris as Hank Schrader. Hank's round-cased digital G-Shock is a Casio G-2500, the Tough Solar Databank G whose module 2266 stores 25 names and numbers and counts down to a target date, a fitting spec sheet for a DEA agent; forum spotters place it in season four's “Problem Dog” among other episodes. Sources split on the colorway, between the black G-2500-1V and the amber-screened G-2500-3V, and the frames do not settle the suffix. (WatchReel; WatchUSeek)

Casio G-Shock DW-6400B-1

Worn by Steven Michael Quezada as Steven Gomez. Gomez's blocky G-Shock reads as the 1994 DW-6400 “Gundam”: steel faceplate with four hex screws and oversized shock bumpers, in the dark B-1 execution on a cloth band. Casio-focused spotters name the DW-6400B-1, though the available frames stay soft and some collectors argue instead for its 1995 successor, the DW-8300, so the identification is probable rather than confirmed.

IWC Portugieser

Worn by Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring. Gus Fring's public modesty stops at his wrist: a slim white-dial IWC Portugieser with applied Arabic numerals on a black leather strap. Spotting coverage agrees on the family but not the reference: the IW500704 and Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 that circulate in watch media entered IWC's catalog in 2015 and 2020, after the series ended in 2013, and the available frames resolve no more than the dial layout.
