Narcos (2015)

Narcos

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.

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; the source names only the model, with no reference given. 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.

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.

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.
