The Apartment (1960)

The Apartment

An insurance clerk lends his Upper West Side apartment to executives for their affairs, until the elevator operator he loves turns out to be one of the mistresses. (Wikipedia) Billy Wilder produced and directed from a script written with I.A.L. Diamond; Jack Lemmon stars as C.C. "Bud" Baxter with Shirley MacLaine as Fran Kubelik, Fred MacMurray as Jeff Sheldrake, Ray Walston and Edie Adams. The Mirisch Company production opened through United Artists in New York on June 15, 1960.

Watches

Unidentified watch

Worn by Jack Lemmon as C.C. "Bud" Baxter. Baxter wears the same simple watch throughout: a metal dress watch with a large, light round dial on a dark leather strap. He checks it at the bar on Christmas Eve when Margie MacDougall asks "my place or yours?" and he answers "Might as well go to mine. Everybody else does." BAMF Style's breakdown of his new suit and bowler describes the watch but names no maker, and the black-and-white photography settles neither the case metal nor the dial. (BAMF Style)
