Crossing the Line (2004)

From IMWDb
Crossing the Line

Clinton McKinzie's third Antonio Burns novel sends the Wyoming narcotics agent and his brother Roberto, just out of prison, into a job for the drug lord Hidalgo. The narrator's oversized watch is a piece of family loyalty. (Open Library)

Watches

Suunto watch
Antonio Burns describes his watch as a Suunto altimeter nearly twice the size of an ordinary wristwatch, a Christmas gift from his parents that he wears despite its bulk because his brother Roberto wears one just like it, both scarred with gouges and scratches. The brand and the altimeter function are named; no model is given.

Source text: The watch was a Suunto altimeter, and it was nearly twice the size of an ordinary wristwatch. I wore it even though it was big and clunky and couldn't be worn with a suit when I had to appear in court. (Clinton McKinzie, Crossing the Line, scan cataloged as Delacorte Press, 2004, p. 42; Internet Archive scan OCR)
