Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)

Independence Day: Resurgence

Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat. But will mankind's new space defenses be enough? Roland Emmerich returned to direct the 2016 sequel, set in a 2016 rebuilt on salvaged alien technology, with a unified Earth Space Defense fleet and a moon base standing ready when the harvester ship arrives. Jeff Goldblum and Bill Pullman reprise David Levinson and former President Whitmore alongside newcomers Liam Hemsworth and Maika Monroe, and Hamilton dressed four of the cast; the brand counts the film among more than 450 screen placements since its 1892 founding in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Watches

Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT Auto

Worn by Jeff Goldblum as David Levinson. David Levinson wears the Hamilton Jazzmaster GMT Auto, the dressiest of the film's four Hamiltons, a round automatic with a second time-zone hand, suited to a character who spends the film moving between continents and the moon rather than flying combat.

Hamilton Khaki Pilot Automatic Chronograph

Worn by James A. Woods as Lt. Ritter. Lt. Ritter wears the Hamilton Khaki Pilot Automatic Chronograph, the military-styled aviation chronograph in the same Khaki family as Jake Morrison's X-Wind. Hamilton's own publicity for the film names the pairing, and the watch's military-issue styling matches a fleet officer in uniform. (Forbes; A Timely Perspective; Montres de Luxe)

Hamilton Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono

Worn by Liam Hemsworth as Jake Morrison. Jake Morrison, the film's hotshot pilot, wears the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind Auto Chrono, the aviation chronograph built around a drift-angle calculator for crosswind landings, and the most on-the-nose of the four Hamiltons the production placed.

Hamilton Thin-O-matic

Worn by Bill Pullman as Thomas Whitmore. Former President Whitmore wears a Hamilton Thin-O-matic, the slim mid-century automatic Hamilton revived from its own archive, a statesman's watch for the man who gave the first film's speech, and the quietest of the four Hamiltons in the picture. A yellow-gold-cased watch on a dark strap sits on Whitmore's nightstand beside his notepads, plainly present among his personal effects; the low light and steep angle do not resolve the dial well enough to independently confirm the Thin-O-matic, so the model identification rests on Hamilton's own placement credit.
