Watches

Terra Cielo Mare Orienteering PVD

Worn by Brad Pitt as Gerry Lane. Montres de Luxe identifies Lane's watch as the blacked-out PVD execution of the Terra Cielo Mare Orienteering, the small Italian maker's ETA 2824 automatic with a destro left-side crown and a dual-hemisphere 24-hour bezel for taking a rough compass bearing off the sun. (Montres de Luxe) A second, separate Montres de Luxe article on the same film corroborates the identification, describing the watch as a particularly large 47 mm case that appears on Lane's wrist at several points. (Montres de Luxe) BAMF Style independently identifies the Orienteering PVD in two articles and reports, from costume designer Mayes C. Rubeo's interview with Designed by Hollywood, that Terra Cielo Mare supplied seven of the watches for Pitt to wear on screen. It gives a 44 mm black PVD-treated titanium case, against the 47 mm Montres de Luxe states, with a black dial and a 22 mm brown English leather strap, and points to Lane pulling back his arm pad to check the time. (BAMF Style; BAMF Style) BESSHO, a Japanese stockist of the brand, wrote two weeks before the film opened in Japan that, by the Japanese importer's account, the watch was not a sponsored placement: Pitt wore it because he liked it.
