Netflix and Gaumont International Television's crime drama chronicling the rise and fall of the Medellín cartel, with Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar opposite the DEA agents narrating the hunt, across three seasons (2015–2017) before the story moved to the separately titled Narcos: Mexico. (IMDb)
Watches
- Rolex Cellini
- Worn by Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar. Escobar's watch through the show's first two seasons is a yellow-gold dress watch with a champagne dial and cushion-form case on a black strap, which the spotting record reads as a vintage hand-wound Rolex Cellini, a case-shape argument, since no frame resolves branding, and published candidates disagree on the reference (3508 and 3805/8 both circulate) while an Omega De Ville quartz has also been proposed. The frames support the family, not a reference. The choice is the interesting part: the real Escobar was known for an iced-out Day-Date, and the production instead put its Escobar in the quietest watch Rolex made, the thin precious-metal line named for the Renaissance goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini, a watch for the legitimate businessman Escobar spent years pretending to be. (Wrist Enthusiast) Montres de Luxe separately catalogs a vintage watch on a leather strap from the house Lanco as a further candidate, adding a third name to the disagreement above; its own byline for the article misnames the actor "Walter Noura," though the piece is unambiguously about this Narcos-era Escobar sighting, since no actor by that name appears in the show's credited cast. (Montres de Luxe) Propstore's sale of a screen-used Escobar watch from episode 109, "La Catedral", described as a Lanco with a round gold-tone dial on a brown leather strap, corroborates the Lanco candidate for at least that episode; whether it is the cushion-cased watch read as a Cellini elsewhere is not something the lot settles.

- Rolex Datejust
- Worn by Francisco Denis as Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela. Montres de Luxe identifies season three's Cali cartel co-founder Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela, played by Francisco Denis, wearing a yellow-gold Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet, visible several times across the season, but gives no reference number. Cataloged separately from Wagner Moura's Escobar-era Cellini above, since Miguel and his brother Gilberto run the rival Cali cartel that outlasts Escobar's Medellín organization for the show's remaining seasons. (Montres de Luxe)
- Rolex Daytona
- Worn by Damián Alcázar as Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela. Montres de Luxe identifies Miguel's brother and Cali cartel co-founder Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela's watch as a gold-and-steel Rolex Daytona with a white dial, probably a Zenith-caliber execution, though the source does not resolve which reference. (Montres de Luxe)
- Cartier Tank Francaise
- Worn by Paulina Gaitán as Tata Escobar. Montres de Luxe identifies Escobar's wife Tata's watch as a gold-and-steel Cartier Tank Française, noting the model itself is a slight anachronism: Cartier did not launch the Tank Française until 1996, after the 1980s setting of these seasons. (Montres de Luxe)
- Omega (unidentified model)
- Worn by Boyd Holbrook as Steve Murphy. Propstore, consigning DEA agent Steve Murphy's watch from the show's second season, describes a stainless-steel Omega on a linked bracelet with a butterfly clasp, gold-colored hands, and a date display, worn "in this style throughout the second season"; the listing names no reference. (Propstore)
- Casio (unidentified model)
- Worn by Juan Pablo Raba as Gustavo Gaviria. Propstore, consigning Escobar's cousin and partner Gustavo Gaviria's watch from episode "¡Al Fin Cayó!," describes a Casio with a square chrome-colored case, gold-tone hands, and a leather band with an embossed crocodile pattern, worn during a fantasy sequence in which Gaviria speaks with Escobar; the listing names no reference. (Propstore)
- Lanco watch
- Worn by Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar. Propstore's Narcos online auction (December 2016) sold a second Escobar watch, from the season-one episode "La Catedral" (episode 109), worn at his prison compound throughout the episode: "The Lanco brand watch has a round gold-tone face with a brown leather strap." Lanco was Langendorf's brand, revived in 1971 and gone by about 1980, which makes it a period-plausible watch for a scene set in 1991; the essay names no model. The lot documents a different watch from the cushion-cased dress watch above rather than resolving that identification, though it corroborates the Lanco that Montres de Luxe names. (Propstore)
- Tissot (unidentified model)
- Worn by Bruno Bichir as Fernando Duque. Propstore's Narcos online auction (December 2016) sold Duque's screen-used watch from the season-two episode "Cambalache" (episode 202), worn when he meets Gustavo de Greiff: "The Tissot brand watch has a gold-tone rimmed face with a brown leather strap." The essay names the maker only, and no frame has yet been examined for a model. (Propstore)Scene image neededSubmit a scene still!
- Rolex (fake)
- Worn by Diego Cataño as La Quica. Propstore's Narcos online auction (closing January 2017) sold La Quica's second-season watch, worn "throughout the second season", as an imitation: "The imitation Rolex brand watch is made of stainless steel with gold-tone accents along the strap and the edges of the blue face which also features a magnified date dial", closing on a butterfly clasp. A two-tone finish, blue dial and cyclops date fit more than one Rolex line, so the prop imitates Rolex generally rather than an identifiable reference, and the description is the production's own.

- Casio G-Shock
- Worn by Maurice Compte as Horacio Carrillo. Propstore's Narcos online auction (December 2016) sold Colonel Carrillo's "tactical watch", worn "throughout the series": "The G-Shock brand watch has a bulky rubber padded face with a blank digital display", on a black rubber band, distressed with dried dirt and with one end of the band cut away. The essay names the family only; a blank display in a padded resin case describes most digital G-Shocks, so no module or reference is established. (Propstore)
- Salco watch
- Worn by Diego Cataño as La Quica. Before the second season's imitation Rolex, La Quica wears a different watch: Propstore's Narcos online auction (December 2016, lot 29) sold the "silver wrist watch" he wears "throughout the first season and notably in episode 106 ‘Explosivos’ when he escorts Jaime (German De Greiff) to the airport", describing it as "The Salco brand watch is made of stainless steel with a green and gold colored face. The band is composed of metal links with a butterfly clasp." Salco is a budget brand of the Colombian market where the series was shot, and the essay names no model. (Propstore)
- Casio (unidentified model)
- Worn by Matias Varela as Jorge Salcedo. In the third season Jorge Salcedo, the Cali cartel's head of security, wears a steel digital Casio with a round dark bezel on a steel bracelet, seen at his chin as he takes a call in a parked car. A Klocksnack member, Sorubim, posted the capture in October 2017 beside a photograph of the Casio AE-1100WD and read it as that world-time model; the frame shows the round case, the bracelet and a grey display, not the three small dials or any text that would fix the model, so the reading is probable and the watch is recorded as an unidentified Casio.
