Plane (2023)

Plane

Directed by Jean-François Richet from a screenplay by Charles Cumming and J. P. Davis, Plane was released by Lionsgate on 13 January 2023 (Wikipedia). Gerard Butler plays Brodie Torrance, a former RAF pilot flying a Trailblazer Airlines MD-80 from Singapore to Honolulu who puts the aircraft down on a disused airstrip on Jolo, in the southern Philippines, after a lightning strike over the South China Sea; Mike Colter is Louis Gaspare, the extradited homicide suspect who becomes his ally, and Yoson An is first officer Samuel Dele. The picture was shot in Puerto Rico and grossed $74.5 million worldwide (Wikipedia).

Watches

Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WorldTime

Worn by Gerard Butler as Brodie Torrance. Gerard Butler's Brodie Torrance, an ex-RAF pilot in the left-hand seat of Trailblazer 119, wears the Polaris Chronograph WorldTime: a 44mm titanium automatic carrying both a twin-register chronograph and a 24-city world-time ring set from a second crown, which is about as literal a pilot's tool as the collection offers (Jaeger-LeCoultre; Wikipedia).

Oris Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter

Worn by Yoson An as Samuel Dele. Yoson An plays Samuel Dele, Torrance's first officer on the Singapore-Honolulu run (Wikipedia). The Big Crown ProPilot Altimeter is the rare mechanical wristwatch with a working altimeter, reading height off a pressure membrane through a second crown, so the pairing is a cockpit-appropriate one even before the aircraft loses power (aBlogtoWatch).
