Watches

Omega Speedmaster (unidentified model)
Worn by Mark Wahlberg as Jim Bennett. Montres de Luxe identifies Jim Bennett's watch as an Omega Speedmaster (steel bracelet). (Montres de Luxe) Fratello adds the film's own line about the watch, "It's an Omega, it's worth more than six thousand brand new", and in its survey of the Speedmaster on screen offers a hedged reading, "Our guess is that it is a Co-Axial 44.25mm version of the Speedmaster". (Fratello) Its dedicated piece on the scene is less sure, "torn between the Speedmaster Pro and the Speedmaster Co-Axial 44.25mm", and observes that the bracelet has no polished centre links, which matched none of Omega's then-current Speedmasters, so the watch may be an older model or a put-together. (Fratello) The frame shows a black-dial chronograph with white hands on a steel bracelet and nothing that separates the two candidates, so no sub-line is confirmed.
