Watches

Breitling AVI Chronograph

Worn by Brad Pitt as Ladybug. Ladybug wears a Breitling AVI Ref. 765 1953 Re-Edition, the brand's revival of its 1953 Co-Pilot pilot's chronograph, with a 41mm case, rotating bezel and domed Hesalite crystal. BAMF Style identifies the screen watch as the top platinum version with a midnight-blue dial, ref. LB0920131C1X1, which Breitling limits to 153 pieces, worn on a brown calfskin strap in place of the factory band. It is an incongruously expensive thing to strap to a man in a bucket hat losing a fight on a Shinkansen, which is roughly the joke. (BAMF Style; Breitling)

Rolex Bubbleback

Worn by Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Tangerine. Tangerine wears a 1940s Rolex Oyster Perpetual in yellow gold on a black edge-stitched leather strap, its 32 mm case carrying the domed back that earned the line its collector's nickname. The dial is the tell: a light gold California layout mixing Roman and Arabic numerals, a wartime rarity that dates the watch to the decade rather than the reference. It suits the half of the pair who cares about his tailoring, and it is a pointed contrast with the platinum chronograph strapped to Ladybug, who plainly did not choose his. (BAMF Style)
