Summary

Description: Close-up insert shot from Bad Company (2002) of a Hamilton Khaki Chrono chronograph being fastened onto a wrist. One hand holds the watch dial-toward-camera while a second wrist/forearm (a dark jacket sleeve visible at the cuff) receives it, consistent with the moment the watch is put on. No face is in frame, so the wearer's identity is not confirmed by direct visual match; it rests on captioning from two independent watch-identification outlets — Worn & Wound's "Watches on the Screen: Hamilton, The Movie Brand" article, which captions the same handling sequence "The watch issued to [Chris] Rock's character is a black dialed Hamilton Khaki Chronograph," and the watch-spotting site Watches in Movies, which separately catalogs Bad Company (2002) / Chris Rock / "hamilton Khaki Chronograph." This is the same strength of sourcing (specialist-outlet captioning, no visible face) already relied on for this page's underlying identification, which itself traces only to Hamilton's own collection-level "movie brand" credit with no reference number. At this size the dial, three chronograph subdials, a day-date window, a tachymeter-marked bezel, the crown and two pushers, and the stainless bracelet are all clearly legible — none of which is resolvable in the current 485x485 running-scene still, where the watch is a small motion-blurred highlight on the wrist. This frame trades that still's visible face/action/street context for far greater legibility of the watch itself, and shows a second wrist wearing it rather than Rock's face, so it is presented as a handling/fastening shot, not a confirmed wrist-on-Rock shot.

The live page, https://watchesinmovies.info/movies/bad-company-2002/, has lost its images since a site retheme and now serves placeholder graphics only; the Wayback Machine is the only remaining copy found. A companion frame from the same handling sequence (hand cupping the watch face alone, no wrist) survives at the same 640x272 size, archived at http://web.archive.org/web/20120515082758/http://watchesinmovies.info/img/f/BadCompany_Hamilton.jpg, and was independently re-hosted by Worn & Wound at https://wornandwound.com/library/uploads/2014/10/5BadCompany_Hamilton.jpg (article: https://wornandwound.com/watches-screen-hamilton-movie-brand/) — the same asset, confirming 640x272 is genuinely the largest size either outlet ever published, not a fetch artifact. That companion frame was considered and set aside in favor of this one because it shows no wrist at all, only a hand holding the watch face-up.

Retrieved: 2026-08-15 License or editorial purpose: Editorial/commentary use — identifying and discussing a specific watch appearance on IMWDb, a non-commercial watch-identification reference wiki; single frame used, not redistributed wholesale. Modifications: Cropped from the 640x272 archived source to 640x227 by removing a 45px-tall strip across the full width of the bottom edge. This excises a "WATCHESINMOVIES.INFO" third-party watermark per the editorial standards' scene-cropping allowance (crop confirmed watermark-free by pixel-level inspection at 3x zoom); both hands, the wrist, and the watch remain fully intact. No upscaling, sharpening, color correction, or other change was made. Net effect versus the current file: fewer total pixels (640x227 = 0.145MP vs. the current 485x485 = 0.235MP) but a roughly 8-10x larger watch within the frame, so the watch itself is resolved at far higher effective detail; no worn/face/action/street context survives, unlike the current image.
