Superman Returns (2006)

Superman Returns

Bryan Singer's superhero sequel for Warner Bros. Pictures, positioned as a continuation of the Christopher Reeve films. Superman returns to Earth after a five-year absence spent searching the ruins of Krypton, only to find Lois Lane engaged to another man and Lex Luthor plotting a real-estate scheme that could kill billions. Brandon Routh stars as Clark Kent/Superman alongside Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane, Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor, James Marsden as Richard White, Frank Langella as Perry White, and Sam Huntington as Jimmy Olsen.

Watches

Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT

Worn by James Marsden as Richard White. Richard White flies his own seaplane in the film, and the Khaki Navy GMT is Hamilton's 42 mm dive-styled automatic with a red-tipped 24-hour hand, a rotating second-timezone ring, and a city disc naming reference ports from Rio to Cairo. Hamilton names no reference. Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same Khaki Navy GMT placement. (Hamilton; Montres de Luxe)

Hamilton Boulton

Worn by Frank Langella as Perry White. Perry White wears a Boulton, the flared-lug rectangular dress watch Hamilton first sold in 1941. The Daily Planet's editor-in-chief wears the same American Classic model nearly two decades later in Superman (2025), a placement Hamilton also credits, that time on Wendell Pierce. Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same Boulton placement. (Hamilton; Montres de Luxe)

Hamilton Linwood Viewmatic

Worn by Brandon Routh as Clark Kent / Superman. Hamilton's credit says only "Linwood". The current American Classic Linwood is a later relaunch that postdates the film, while the Linwood Viewmatic, the round automatic carrying the name at the time, was still in production through the mid-2000s, which makes it the likelier watch on Clark Kent's wrist. A round-cased watch with a cream/white dial is plainly visible on Routh's wrist reaching for Jimmy Olsen's camera lens; the frame does not resolve case-back or reference markings, so the model identification rests on Hamilton's own placement credit. Montres de Luxe independently credits Routh with a "Hamilton Linwood" placement, the same bare model name, without narrowing to the Viewmatic execution. (Hamilton; Montres de Luxe)

Hamilton Khaki King

Worn by Sam Huntington as Jimmy Olsen. The Khaki King is the Khaki Field with a full weekday and date stacked at 12 o'clock. The cataloged H64455533 reference is a 2011 introduction, so the film predates it by five years and the credit names the collection rather than that execution. Hamilton credits Huntington's Jimmy Olsen with a Khaki King; Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same placement. Neither source narrows it to a reference. (Hamilton; Montres de Luxe)
