Death on the Nile

Kenneth Branagh's 2022 adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1937 novel, scripted by Michael Green and released by 20th Century Studios on 11 February 2022 after pandemic delays, follows Hercule Poirot (Branagh) aboard the steamer Karnak as the heiress Linnet Ridgeway (Gal Gadot) honeymoons with Simon Doyle (Armie Hammer), pursued by his jilted fiancée Jacqueline de Bellefort (Emma Mackey); Tiffany & Co. lent the production the 128-carat Tiffany Diamond that Linnet wears. Annette Bening, Tom Bateman, Letitia Wright, Sophie Okonedo and Russell Brand round out the passengers. (IMDb; Wikipedia)

Watches

Tiffany & Co. East West

Worn by Armie Hammer as Simon Doyle. Doyle wears a rectangular steel watch whose dial is turned along the wrist, the signature of Tiffany's East West, in two frames an Uhrforum member posted in May 2022, relaying an identification from a thread on the Military Watch Resource forum that named the East West Automatic. The frames show the rotated case and a dark dial on a leather strap and support the model; the automatic rather than the earlier quartz East West rests on the forum reading, and the watch is a 2016 design in a story set in 1937, an anachronism. (Uhrforum) Two 20th Century Studios stills show Simon with a second watch: in the Aswan market and on the hotel steps in his white suit he wears a yellow-gold rectangular case with a cream dial and Arabic numerals on a dark brown strap, its long side running along the arm in the usual way rather than across it. It is not the watch in the Uhrforum frames, so the film uses at least two; no source names the gold one. (20th Century Studios, market; 20th Century Studios, hotel)

Unidentified watch

Worn by Armie Hammer as Simon Doyle. Walking arm in arm with Linnet through the Aswan market, Simon wears a yellow-gold rectangular watch with a cream dial and black Arabic numerals on a dark leather strap, its long side running along the arm, face-on in a 20th Century Studios still. A second studio still, on the hotel steps in his white suit, shows the same gold case and cream dial half under the shirt cuff. No source names it, and neither still shows a legible maker's name or reference. It is not the steel East West with its dial turned across the wrist that the Uhrforum frames show, so Simon wears at least two watches in the film.
