Easy Rider (1969)

Easy Rider

Two bikers ride from Los Angeles toward Mardi Gras in New Orleans on the proceeds of a cocaine deal, encountering a small-town lawyer, a hippie commune, and hostile locals along the way. (Wikipedia) Directed by Dennis Hopper, who also stars alongside Peter Fonda as bikers Billy and Wyatt ("Captain America"), with Jack Nicholson in a breakout supporting role as lawyer George Hanson. Released by Columbia Pictures in July 1969 on a budget of roughly $400,000 against a $60 million gross, the film is credited with helping launch the New Hollywood movement of the early 1970s.

Watches

Rolex GMT-Master 1675

Worn by Peter Fonda as Wyatt ("Captain America"). A Sotheby's Important Watches lot catalogues a yellow gold GMT-Master, ref. 1675, with a brown "nipple dial" as "Owned and screen worn by Peter Fonda in Easy Rider," noting it "famously appears in the opening sequence" and that Fonda owned it personally for decades; the catalogue essay specifically flags this early gold example as cased without crown guards, a detail later production runs of the reference added. Provenance is direct from Fonda via a 2007 Heritage Auctions sale. (Sothebys)
