Watches

Vostok Amphibia 420526

Worn by Bill Murray as Steve Zissou. The Soviet diver now known to collectors simply as the "Zissou". Montres de Luxe independently identifies the watch as a Vostok Amphibia. (Montres de Luxe)

Vostok Komandirskie

Worn by Willem Dafoe as Klaus Daimler. Team Zissou's first officer wears a blue-dial Soviet Vostok on a black strap over his wetsuit, a foil to Steve Zissou's Amphibia diver. The case and crown read as the military Komandirskie, though no frame resolves a case or dial reference and some collectors read the piece as an Amphibia variant instead, so the model stays probable rather than confirmed.

Rolex GMT-Master II 16710

Worn by Owen Wilson as Ned Plimpton. Ned, the pilot who may or may not be Zissou's son, wears a Rolex GMT-Master II 16710 "Pepsi," its presence next to the crew's Soviet divers an immediate, unspoken tell that he comes from money. (Hodinkee) Montres de Luxe independently identifies a steel Rolex GMT-Master on Wilson, noting a close-up shot of the watch during the film. (Montres de Luxe)

Vostok (unidentified model)

Worn by Seu Jorge as Pelé dos Santos. Propstore's auction lot for Pelé's screen-used dive watch names an automatic Vostok on a leather strap, and notes Pelé is seen wearing various styles of watch strap across his appearances in the film; no case, dial, or reference is given, so this stays distinct from Zissou's and Klaus's reference-level Vostoks above.
