The Getaway

A recently paroled bank robber and his wife go on the run across Texas after a heist goes wrong and his double-crossing partners turn against him. (Wikipedia) Directed by Sam Peckinpah and adapted from Jim Thompson's 1958 novel, the film stars Steve McQueen as Carter "Doc" McCoy and Ali MacGraw as his wife Carol, whom he met on set and married the following year; it was released by National General Pictures in December 1972.

Watches

Gruen Precision

Worn by Steve McQueen as Carter "Doc" McCoy. BAMF Style describes McCoy's only jewelry as "a gold Gruen Precision watch on his right wrist," with a gold case, silver dial, and gold bracelet; the source gives no reference number. (BAMF Style) Montres de Luxe independently identifies McCoy's watch as a Gruen. (Montres de Luxe)

Heuer (unidentified model)

Worn by Bo Hopkins as Frank Jackson. Covering a different cast member's wardrobe, BAMF Style names "Frank Jackson's Heuer" in passing alongside "Doc's Gruen" and "Carol's Caravelle" while comparing the cast's watches; no model or reference is given for Jackson's own. (BAMF Style) Montres de Luxe independently names Jackson's watch a Heuer Carrera worn on a perforated leather strap, but gives no supporting detail; the visible dial reads only "HEUER," with no "Carrera" text, and the two-register layout with Arabic 12 and 6 does not clearly match a documented Carrera execution, so the model naming remains uncorroborated.

Caravelle Watch

Worn by Ali MacGraw as Carol McCoy. The same passing comparison names "Carol's Caravelle" alongside "Doc's Gruen" and "Frank Jackson's Heuer," with no model or reference given for Carol's own. (BAMF Style) Montres de Luxe independently identifies Carol's watch as a Caravelle, adding that she also wears a Cartier Love bracelet. (Montres de Luxe)
