Watches

Rolex Submariner 1680

Worn by Robert Redford as Bob Woodward. Redford wears his own Rolex Submariner 1680, the "Red Sub," as Woodward; he had already worn the same watch in The Candidate and would again in The Electric Horseman. (Rolex Magazine) Montres de Luxe disagrees on the model itself, identifying the watch as a steel Rolex GMT-Master ref. 1675 with a blue-and-red bezel rather than a Submariner; this catalog retains the Submariner 1680 identification, which rests on Rolex Magazine's detailed, separately sourced profile of Redford's personal watch collection. (Montres de Luxe) BAMF Style independently identifies Redford's own steel Submariner 1680 in two articles on Woodward's wardrobe, noting that he also wore it in The Candidate. (BAMF Style; BAMF Style) Hodinkee is a third independent voice for the Submariner 1680 reading: it calls the watch Redford's own Red Sub, worn for the whole film on his right wrist, times it at 00:12:17 in the arraignment courtroom and at 00:17:58 on the newsroom phones, notes the 1960s bracelet and a bezel pearl that appears to have popped off, and explains the fully unthreaded crown viewers have called a mistake as the usual practice of stopping a watch for continuity between takes. It adds that the real Woodward wore a Heuer at the time, which never reached Redford's wrist, and credits props to Alan Levine and Bill MacSems. (Hodinkee)
