Omega Speedmaster Professional

Worn by Simon Pegg as Sidney Young. Sidney Young's Omega Speedmaster Professional arrives in its presentation box as a gift, at the point where the perks of the Sharps job start landing on his desk, and he takes it as proof he has arrived. The prints do not agree on what is in the box: in some versions of the film the close-up shows a Seamaster instead of the Speedmaster. (TimeZone)
