TAG Heuer Link Chronograph

Worn by Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. Bourne wears the Link chronograph across the whole original trilogy; Damon reportedly wore one off screen too. Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same steel TAG Heuer Link quartz chronograph, rated to 200 m, and notes Damon kept it for the whole trilogy beginning with this film. (Montres de Luxe) BAMF Style describes the watch Bourne finds in the upper tray of his Zurich safe deposit box and straps on before scaling the embassy: a stainless 42 mm quartz Link Chronograph with two pushers, a black dial with three sub-registers, a small date window at four o'clock and the chevron-link bracelet. It gives the model as CT1111.BA0550 and credits that number to Watch-ID and Wrist Enthusiast. (BAMF Style) Hodinkee, crediting props to Pascal Lavoué, calls the Link a good choice by the prop master for a CIA asset, period-appropriate with its scratches and signs of wear, and times its first appearance at 00:16:04 as the camera pans the Zurich safe-deposit box before Bourne straps it on, and a clear view at 00:24:38 as he hangs by his fingertips from the snowy ledge; the column carries a disclosure that TAG Heuer's parent LVMH is a minority investor in Hodinkee.
