Rolex Datejust

Worn by David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr.. HODINKEE identifies the solid-gold Rolex Datejust worn by David Oyelowo as Martin Luther King Jr.; its clean production still shows the watch on his wrist during an Oval Office scene. (HODINKEE) BAMF Style describes the yellow-gold case, matching Jubilee-style bracelet and champagne dial as echoing the reference 1601 Datejust the real King wore through the 1960s, while saying the film does not show enough to settle whether the screen watch is that reference. (BAMF Style) Hodinkee asserts the reference outright, "the Rolex Datejust 1601, with a light champagne dial in a solid gold case with a matching gold jubilee bracelet", where BAMF Style leaves it open; it times the Oval Office scene at 00:09:30 and the dimly lit kitchen scene with Coretta at 00:19:19, notes the watch sits high enough to clear every cuff, credits props to Robin L. Miller, and calls the story of the real King's Nobel-year gift "difficult to confirm". (Hodinkee)

Rolex Day-Date

Worn by Tom Wilkinson as Lyndon B. Johnson. The Oval Office meeting that opens the film's argument puts two gold Rolexes across the Resolute desk. Hodinkee, timing the scene at 00:09:30, notes that Wilkinson's Johnson wears a solid 18-karat gold Rolex Day-Date on the President bracelet, the watch the real Johnson wore and the one that gave the bracelet its name. (HODINKEE) BAMF Style likewise records the on-screen Johnson in an 18-karat Day-Date on the President bracelet. Neither source gives a reference. (BAMF Style)
