Watches
- Casio G-Shock DW6900-1V
- Worn by Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. Hunt's watch through the Sydney mission is the all-black resin DW-6900-1V, the three-eye G-Shock, with its display dressed by the prop department: the readout carries tracking graphics the production watch cannot generate, while the case, subdials and matte resin body are stock. It is the second Casio worn by Hunt in two films. (Twenty Two Ten; Iconic Hours) Watches of Espionage describes the gadget: Hunt "activates a transponder built into his G-Shock to inform Luther, played by Ving Rhames, that he has safely infiltrated an installation" after the helicopter hoist, a function it finds plausible, and it notes that the DW6900-1V was issued to Naval Special Warfare during the Global War on Terror.
