File:Chance and Violence (1974) - Breitling Navitimer scene.jpg

Summary

Description: Yves Montand (as criminologist Laurent Bermann) embraces Katharine Ross (as Constance Weber) on a quayside in Chance and Violence / Le hasard et la violence (1974). Montand's left wrist, at the bottom of frame, carries a round steel chronograph on a black leather strap: the case, two chronograph pushers flanking the crown, and at least two sub-dial registers on the dial are visible, consistent with the page's identification of a steel Breitling Navitimer on a leather strap. Exact bezel/slide-rule markings are not resolvable at this compression level, but the case and dial are genuinely legible, not merely the strap.

TMDB catalogs this alongside other production stills for the same title (uploader-contributed, as is standard for TMDB's crowd-sourced backdrop set); a separate black-and-white publicity still of the same two leads from the same shoot is independently catalogued by Alamy/PictureLux ("The Hollywood Archive") under file reference #31316, corroborating that this is a genuine period publicity/unit photograph rather than fan art. Retrieved: 2026-08-18 License or editorial purpose: Non-free press/unit still, used at its native resolution (2399x1349, ~397 KB JPEG) for editorial identification and commentary on a specific on-screen prop watch. Modifications: None. Delivered exactly as retrieved from TMDB (original-size backdrop); full frame, no crop, no resize, no format conversion (already JPEG). Confirmed not an upscale: downscaling 2x with Lanczos and restoring with bicubic interpolation produced a mean absolute difference of 0.99/255 across the full frame, indicating real high-frequency detail rather than invented pixels.
