Watches

Casio DW-290

Worn by Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Hunt's digital Casio is the DW-290, often misremembered as a G-Shock; it is clearest during the sleight-of-hand "magic trick" he plays on Franz Krieger (Jean Reno) at the London pub, not the earlier Langley vault break-in, where his wrist device is a sound-level (decibel) meter rather than this watch. Watches of Espionage calls it "a more subtle G-Shock cameo by the DW290-1V", a label the DW-290 does not carry. (Watches of Espionage) Time+Tide's list of action-film watches still sold at retail also files the watch as the "Casio DW290-1V", calling the choice "very fitting for Cruise's first outing as agent Ethan Hunt".
