Shaun of the Dead (2004)

Shaun of the Dead

Shaun of the Dead (2004) is Edgar Wright's zombie romantic comedy, the first of the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy, starring Simon Pegg as a directionless London electronics-shop worker who tries to win back his girlfriend and save his mother while the dead rise around him. Wright's meticulous costume and prop choices extend to the wristwatches: a disposable digital Casio on Nick Frost's layabout Ed and a modest steel field watch on Pegg's Shaun, each fixing its wearer's place in the same unremarkable life.

Watches

Casio W-86-1V

Worn by Nick Frost as Ed. Ed, Shaun's permanently sofa-bound best friend, wears a black resin Casio W-86-1V, the basic digital sports model in the same budget bracket as the F-91W. A scene frame catches its teal electroluminescent backlight glowing across the LCD (the "Illuminator" panel that distinguishes the W-86), while the case and strap read as the anonymous sub-£20 digital they are. The exact model rests on the spotting identification; the watch is legible as a black EL-backlit Casio digital but no dial text resolves on screen. For a man with nowhere to be, the alarm function is the joke Wright never underlines. (WatchReel)

Timex Expedition

Worn by Simon Pegg as Shaun. Shaun wears a steel field watch with a cream dial, a date window, and a brown leather strap: the look of the drugstore-priced Timex Expedition line. The spotting source names the vintage reference T44563, but the frame resolves only the cream dial, date aperture, and leather strap, not a legible reference, so the identification stays at the Expedition line rather than a single model. A practical outdoor watch on a man whose most strenuous pre-apocalypse outing is the walk to the Winchester. (WatchReel)
