Watches

Omega Seamaster

Worn by Jean-Marc Barr as Jacques Mayol. Montres de Luxe identifies Mayol's watch as an Omega Seamaster Professional 600, noting that the real free-diver Jacques Mayol, whom Barr plays, dove with a Seamaster 120 to 105 metres in 1981, breaking his own world record along with the watch's.

Citizen Aqualand

Worn by Jean Reno as Enzo Molinari. Montres de Luxe identifies Enzo's watch as a Citizen Aqualand dive watch, giving no specific reference. (Montres de Luxe) Monochrome's Aqualand history narrows the execution: among the C0023 variants it lists "a limited black PVD-coated titanium model with gold accents that was seen in the movie Le Grand Bleu on the wrist of Jean Reno". (Monochrome) AGarcia posted seven frames on Relojes Especiales in 2014 and read the watch as the titanium PVD Aqualand C029; the frames carry a Photobucket watermark and are not used as the scene.
