File:Smokey and the Bandit (1977) - Timex scene.jpg

Summary

Description: Scene screencap from the film's prologue at the Texarkana truck stop, showing Burt Reynolds as Bo "Bandit" Darville reclining in a hammock while adjusting his hat. His right wrist is held up in sharp, well-lit close focus, wearing the stainless steel Timex diver (light/cream dial with a thin black bezel ring, Roman numerals, worn inside an oxidized-silver Navajo cuff with turquoise stones) that BAMF Style identifies as the character's watch in this film. NOTE: Reynolds' face is not visible in this specific frame — his hat brim covers it as he tips it back toward the Burdette brothers (Big and Little Enos) — so identity is established by scene/context continuity rather than a face-in-frame: this is the well-known "Big and Little Enos challenge the Bandit" prologue scene (confirmed by the companion wide shot from the same shot sequence, banditbr-cl1-prologue1.jpg, showing the same reclining figure in the same blue shirt being approached by the two men in matching pale-blue suits), and by wardrobe continuity — the identical turquoise Navajo cuff and ring appear on Reynolds' face-confirmed wrist in another frame from the same BAMF Style gallery (banditbr-cl3-hatringwatch.jpg, a later creek-side scene with Sally Field). The watch's case, dial, and bezel are all clearly and personally discernible in this frame; no letterboxing/pillarboxing is present (verified row-by-row pixel mean/std at the top and bottom edges — no near-uniform dark band).
