Breaking Bad (2008)

Breaking Bad

Breaking Bad (2008 to 2013) was created by Vince Gilligan. A chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer turns to manufacturing and selling methamphetamine with a former student to secure his family's future. (IMDb) The AMC drama premiered on 20 January 2008 and ran five seasons and 62 episodes to its 29 September 2013 finale, set and shot in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Bryan Cranston plays Walter White opposite Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman, with Anna Gunn as Skyler White, Dean Norris as DEA agent Hank Schrader, Bob Odenkirk as lawyer Saul Goodman and Giancarlo Esposito as distributor Gus Fring.

Watches

Casio CA-53W-1

Worn by Bryan Cranston as Walter White. Walt's daily watch from the pilot until Jesse's Monaco arrives in season five is the resin-cased Casio CA-53W-1 calculator watch, its eight-digit keypad plainly visible whenever he clasps his hands. (Teddy Baldassarre)

TAG Heuer Monaco Calibre 12

Worn by Bryan Cranston as Walter White. Jesse gives Walt the blue Monaco for his 51st birthday in season five's “Fifty-One”; Walt later uses its chronograph to time the coordinated prison killings in “Gliding Over All.” (Teddy Baldassarre) Montres de Luxe independently corroborates the sighting, placing the Monaco clearly on the nightstand at the end of the fourth episode of the final season, the gift moment "Fifty-One" depicts, then on Walt's wrist through the closing episodes. (Montres de Luxe) Monochrome gives the reference for the blue Monaco Jesse gives Walt for his 51st birthday as CAW2111.FC6183. (Monochrome) Teddy Baldassarre's history of the prop reports that "TAG Heuer has confirmed that it provided the watch to the Breaking Bad showrunners on request, but it was not used in a product placement arrangement". It also follows the watch to the series finale, "Felina", where Walt leaves it "on top of a gas station payphone booth"; Vince Gilligan gave continuity as the reason (Walt does not wear it in an earlier flash-forward), and Cranston read it as the character "leaving the past".

Mossimo C311-11

Worn by Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman. Through season two Jesse wears what WatchReel reads as a Mossimo C311-11, a chromed Target-era ana-digi with a small analog dial at 12 and three digital eyes across a sunburst face. The on-screen branding is never legible, so the exact reference remains probable rather than confirmed. (WatchReel)

Mossimo (unidentified model)

Worn by Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman. Early in the run Jesse also checks the time on a square-cased fashion watch: black dial with dot markers and a crest at 12, polished case, wide brown cuff strap. WatchReel reads the crest as Mossimo's shield mark, but no frame shows the name outright, so the brand stays probable and the model unidentified. (WatchReel)

Unidentified watch

Worn by Anna Gunn as Skyler White. Skyler's dress watch is a small steel tonneau on a dark leather strap: white dial, black Arabic numerals, blued hands, and a small-seconds register at 9 o'clock. The model remains unidentified. (WatchReel)

Casio G-Shock G-2500

Worn by Dean Norris as Hank Schrader. Hank's round-cased digital G-Shock is a Casio G-2500, the Tough Solar Databank G whose module 2266 stores 25 names and numbers and counts down to a target date; forum spotters place it in season four's “Problem Dog” among other episodes. Sources split on the colorway, between the black G-2500-1V and the amber-screened G-2500-3V, and the frames do not settle the suffix. (WatchUSeek)

Casio G-Shock DW-6400B-1

Worn by Steven Michael Quezada as Steven Gomez. Gomez's blocky G-Shock reads as the 1994 DW-6400 “Gundam”: steel faceplate with four hex screws and oversized shock bumpers, in the dark B-1 execution on a cloth band. Casio-focused spotters name the DW-6400B-1, though the available frames stay soft and some collectors argue instead for its 1995 successor, the DW-8300, so the identification is probable rather than confirmed.

IWC Portugieser

Worn by Giancarlo Esposito as Gustavo Fring. Gus Fring wears a slim white-dial IWC Portugieser with applied Arabic numerals on a black leather strap. Spotting coverage agrees on the family but not the reference: the IW500704 and Portugieser Perpetual Calendar 42 that circulate in watch media entered IWC's catalog in 2015 and 2020, after the series ended in 2013, and the available frames resolve no more than the dial layout. (Oracle Time) Montres de Luxe independently identifies the same steel IWC Portugieser on an alligator strap. (Montres de Luxe)

Mercury LED

Worn by Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman. WatchReel states that Saul Goodman wears the same gold-tone Mercury LED digital watch "across both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul," the same reference already documented as his daily watch on the Better Call Saul page; no specific Breaking Bad scene or episode is cited.
