Westworld (2016)

Westworld

Created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy for HBO, based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film of the same name, Westworld follows the artificially intelligent "hosts" of a Wild West theme park as they begin to gain consciousness and turn against the human guests and technicians who control them. The series premiered October 2, 2016 and ran four seasons through 2022, starring Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Jeffrey Wright, James Marsden, Ed Harris, and Anthony Hopkins. (Wikipedia)

Watches

Omega Seamaster Professional 300M

Worn by Jeffrey Wright as Bernard Lowe. Bernard Lowe, Westworld's head of programming (and, per the season's central reveal, a host built in the likeness of the park's late co-founder Arnold Weber, whom Wright also plays in flashback), wears a plain Omega Seamaster Professional 300M through the first season. Posters on an April 2018 WatchUSeek thread state that "In Season 1 he wore an SMP," later confirming "both Arnold and Bernard wore the SMP in Season 1." A commenter on a r/Watches identification thread separately recalls the same season's watch as a "blueish Diver 300," consistent with the 300M line's blue wave-dial executions rather than a different family, while a different reply on the same thread instead guesses a numbered Omega Seamaster 007 Limited Edition, citing Wright's own Bond pedigree as Felix Leiter in Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. No available frame shows the caseback engraving that would distinguish a numbered 007 edition. The standard-production and limited-edition identifications remain unresolved. The competing watch-spotting site Watches in Movies had already logged the character's watch simply as an "Omega Seamaster" by January 2017. Several WatchUSeek posters conclude Wright wears his own watches on screen rather than a costume-department placement, citing his consistent taste for dive and pilot pieces in other roles, including the Hamilton Khaki X-Wind he wore as Leiter. (Reddit; WatchUSeek; Watches in Movies) Hodinkee's 2020 interview with the show's prop master Ritchie Kremer captions a season-one frame as Bernard "wearing what appears to be an Omega Seamaster", a named-publication reading beside the forum ones, though hedged. Kremer says he bought a Seamaster for an Omega storyline planned across seasons one and two and meant to modify it; he does not connect that watch to Bernard, and nothing in the interview confirms or denies that Wright wears his own.

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean

Worn by Jeffrey Wright as Bernard Lowe. By the season-two premiere, "Journey into Night" (April 22, 2018), Bernard has switched to a black-dialled Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, first spotted when he wakes on a beach early in the episode. A WatchUSeek poster describes it as "a Gen1 PO (by all appearances, a 2201.50)," meaning the 42 mm automatic Calibre 2500 first-generation Planet Ocean rather than the later Co-Axial Master Chronometer execution pictured on the linked Planet Ocean page. A r/Watches commenter independently arrives at the same guess, but reference 2201.50 remains unconfirmed without a clear caseback or clasp photograph. Multiple posters read the switch from the season-one Seamaster Professional 300M as further evidence that Wright wears his own dive-watch collection rather than a costume-department choice, an inference the production has never confirmed or denied on the record. (Reddit; WatchUSeek) Hodinkee's Kremer interview captions a season-two frame as Bernard "wearing what appears to be an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean" and illustrates it with "A similar early 2500 series Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean", which agrees with the forum reading of a first-generation Calibre 2500 watch without settling the reference.

Movado (unidentified model)

Worn by Vincent Cassel as Serac. Serac's Rehoboam watch, the dial on which the system he built with his brother shows every divergence from its plan as a peak on a ring, is a real Movado with a paper face. Heritage Auctions' April 2024 Westworld showcase (lot 5150) sold the screen-matched piece from season 3, episode 5, "Genre": "Original (1) Movado brand, silver tone watch with the face replaced with a paper print of 2 circles with dots and glued on glass cover for VFX use", together with a link remover, a pry knife and "(20) adhesive replacement watch faces in various stages of Rehoboam reactions", the animated ring and its peaks being "computer generated by the VFX team" over the printed guide. The lot names the maker and nothing else; with the factory dial gone, the silver-tone round case is all that survives of the original, and no Movado model resolves. The credited role is Serac; the lot gives his full name, Engerraund Serac. (Heritage Auctions) Kremer, the show's prop master, told Hodinkee in 2020 that the season-three watch, "a huge part of an entire five or six episodes", was "basically a Movado that we just took the guts out of", its face replaced for camera and the result handed to the visual-effects team as a placeholder they embellished in post; "You would never know the make of the watch because I totally dismantled it", he says, and names neither the character nor the model, which is why none resolves.
