This is awesome! The khaki pilot in interstellar truly set me off on my watch journey, I thought about it for a solid few years after seeing the movie and finally bought one before I went off on my own flight training adventure. It’s been with me for every check event and test in aviation and for so many other amazing memories.
Daniel Craig is actually a Rolex collector. Since he finished his Bond contract he can now enjoy wearing his collection in public. Apart from being stereotyped as a one character actor when he signed up to be 007, having to be constantly anchored to Omega was the other decision to end his Bond career. It is also well known that many astronauts although having been issued and obligated to wear Speedmasters for space missions, they chose to wear the Rolex GMT in their personal lives and as pilots during their military careers.
The annoying thing about Speed is that the gshock is in Alarm mode which doesn't show the time like in the movie. That scene shows that the alarm is set to 8:07am and it's not the time.
Great series! I'd like to point out that The Life Aquatic features a Vostok Amphibia far more prominently than the Rolex and is, in my opinion, a far more interesting and unique watch due in no small part to its engineering and design philosophy. It's also leagues more fun! :D
You've missed the most interesting watch in Life Aquatic - Murray's Vostok Amfibia. Especially if you consider the fact that 3075 Rolex GMT Master is kinda meh...
I love how they used the Alarm mode for the Speed shot - the "Speed" G-Shock square is the DW-5600C-1V, which is an all metal case G-Shock and not an ordinary DW-5600E. Another cool fact, apparently the watch was not a supplied prop but was owned by Keanu Reeves.
Watching Movies has always been my favorite column, but having it as a video feature with compilations of scenes where the watches were shown is sooo much better
No comments saying the in Speed Keanu"s watch wasn't showing the actual time only that his alarm was set for 08:05. The AL in top left shows its in alarm setting mode.
I can’t believe you didn‘t include the JLC Reverso, that Bruce Wayne was wearing in The Dark Knight. The Reverso has two faces, just as Bruce Wayne, as he is Batman.
Amazing video! I do think you guys missed an opportunity on Life Aquatic however, the Steve Zissou Vostok Amphibia I would say is way more critical to describe character than the Rolly; that is a beautiful piece for sure but having Steve wear what could be seen as a "cheap russian knockoff" of a dive watch speaks volumes about his character and the state of his life in that film. Nothing against the Vosktok however, I own one and it's iconic in its own right :)
Good vid! But I think it should have included the Seiko Tortiose of Martin Sheen, playing Captain Willard, in "Apocalypse Now," which has since been called the "Willard."
A big Miss not mentioning the Vostok Amphibia from Life Aquatic. Main character's watch and an icon in the budget world already! I'm kinda getting tired of how much hype is given to Rolex. It's not interesting anymore. I know Rolex is a much better watch, but the point of the story here is different. It's the role these watches play in each movie. Still enjoyed the video! Hope more stuff like this comes out! 👍
Nice. But I don't get, why You focus on the Rolex GMT in "The Life Aquatic" instead of the main character's (and Klaus's) Vostok Amphibia, which has way more screen-time. Vostok even named this model after Steve Zissou and sell it with Bill Murray's portrait in character etched into the back.
Cmon, in the Steve Zissou movie you missed the opportunity to spot something unusual and definitely less boring than a Rolex, the Vostok worn by Bill Murray!
In 1971 Astronaut David Scott's Omega Speedster watch failed. He had to use his personal Bulova watch to finish his mission. Now it's called the Bulova Lunar Pilot.
Great review Sir. I too watch ( pun not intended ) to see what watches characters are wearing. Another classic is The American with George Clooney. However, I'm glad you mentioned Glengarry GlenRoss. I love Ricky Roma's Two tone Datejust. Kind regards from Australia Rikki
Great episode. I personally like the latest James Bond Omega Seamaster for three reasons: 1. It's in an iconic Movie 2. It's attainable 3. It's available. Did you hear that Rolex? HINT: #3
I think the Rolex DD played a bigger role in GGGR than Goodfellas so between the two movies featured, I would have highlighted that movie and iconic scene over anything in Goodfellas that barely showed the watch.
4:20 NASA astronaut James Lovell always wore his wrist watches on his righthand wrist. In civil clothes, mostly a Rolex GMT-master 1675. Moreover, during Apollo 13 CMP Jack Swigert wore his personal Rolex GMT-master 1675 pilot watch... not so in the Hollywood movie world 🤣 6:26 Product placement by Omega watches as British author Ian Fleming only wrote about a Rolex watch in the 1953 - 1964 James Bond novels, based on his own Explorer 1016. In 2015 at the Dalmatian coast I witnessed some filming for the Jacques Cousteau movie "The Odyssey" (L'Odyssée), again only modern Omega watches were used.
What, what, what? The Life Aquatic watch was a GMT Master II? My gosh no, that trophy goes to the Vostok, the Rolex played a bit part compared to the various starring roles on Bill Murray and Willem Defoe's wrists.
Very cool video. If you decide to do any more might I suggest a watch that I own and love, the Hamilton Ventura, different versions of which are worn in the Men In Black series. A watch I don’t own but wish I did, that plays a specific role in a movie is the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph that Jessie gives to Walt as a birthday present.
You know, in Gone Girl, Ben Affleck work his own Pepsi GMT. His wife went into labor and he realized he forgot to put on his Pepsi GMT, so he ran back in as fast as he could - and managed to grab the GMT just in time. Sadly by the time, his wife had already driven herself to the hospital.
Now this as a series, I like.
God I couldn’t love this any more.
Bravo, Danny.
Movies and watches? I’m in. Keep up this series Danny!
Hodinkee is so obsessed with Rolex that it didn't feature Bill Murray's Vostok
I saw this after my comment. I’m glad to see another person who appreciates Vostok here.
What a great series, would love to see more!
Bill Murray's watch is a Vostok in Life Aquatic, why no love?
Just commented on that. They ignored the genuinely 'acquatic' watch in that show.
PREACH, COMRADE, PREACH!
Because it's bloody Hodinkee. He even said "a proper dive watch "! 💀 Cheers 🍻!
Politics, probably

Did you forget Bill Murray's Vostok Amphibia in The Life Aquatic? For that matter, lots of Casios are put together in China...😇
Exactly. He actually didnt talk about the most famous watch from that movie. The Vostok warn by Bill Murray. Pure watch snobery.
Hodinkee should change its name to “Dudes who love Rolex.”

🤣🤣
@borregoayudando1481 except no one is crapping their pants and paying 6x retail for one just because it says Casio on it.
@@zacharyparis pretentious much?
@@aquariuscomfort I don’t think you know what pretentious means.
The annoying thing about Speed is that the gshock is in Alarm mode which doesn't show the time like in the movie. That scene shows that the alarm is set to 8:07am and it's not the time.
Probably for reshooting purposes so that they don't have to set the time for each take.

his explanation on watches from the Interstellar movie is so good. Bravo!
Can you PLEASE make this a series!?

Continuity team went, "we're not resetting that time for every take in the movie". XD
@@jaskey that’s exactly what happened 😅
Fantastic! Please more of those!! Danny kills it.
I was hoping you’d cover more of the watches from The Life Aquatic. There’s a number of really cool watches featured in it.
Agreed!
I’ve never seen the movie but isn’t there a Vostok in that?
I could imagine you could do a whole episode on Wes Anderson movies and the watches the characters wear.
The proper watch from the life aquatic is Steve's vostock. Can't believe you went for the rolex
Regarding Life Aquatic, you missed out on the Vostok Amphibia that the crew wore. They even released a Zissou special edition of that exact watch.
I own one. I have the blue face (420374) in contrast to his black one (420526) and I went through hell to locate one.
What the heck, Zissou mentioned but not the Vostok Scuba Dude?
Watching Movies has always been my favorite column, but having it as a video feature with compilations of scenes where the watches were shown is sooo much better
plus the humour! Come on! We need this to be a regular with focus on each film and watches featured!
No comments saying the in Speed Keanu"s watch wasn't showing the actual time only that his alarm was set for 08:05. The AL in top left shows its in alarm setting mode.

Chris Nolan deserves his own series of watches in movies
harvey dent should have worn it
Great episode , love it so much

Nothing against the Vosktok however, I own one and it's iconic in its own right :)
We can’t forget the Casio F-91W worn by Dr. Michael Alexander Morbius, M.D., Ph.D in the critically acclaimed movie, Morbius
Good vid! But I think it should have included the Seiko Tortiose of Martin Sheen, playing Captain Willard, in "Apocalypse Now," which has since been called the "Willard."
Bravo, great Episode !! I got chills
Steve Zissou is famous for fancy Vostok Amphibian, but not boring Rolex, haha 😆 😜 😄
Great video! Alltough I like the Rolex GMT the Vostok Amphibia would have been more interesting.
This is good but I can’t believe you skipped over the Zissou Vostok
A big Miss not mentioning the Vostok Amphibia from Life Aquatic. Main character's watch and an icon in the budget world already!

Incredible series, please make more of these
The Vostok is surely more appropriate that the GMT in The Life Aquatic?
That's a video i have been waiting for.
I loved this especially when TGV of the Urban Gentry did it years ago!
Except tgv is insufferable and I'd rather buy a hublot than watch his videos.
Nice. But I don't get, why You focus on the Rolex GMT in "The Life Aquatic" instead of the main character's (and Klaus's) Vostok Amphibia, which has way more screen-time. Vostok even named this model after Steve Zissou and sell it with Bill Murray's portrait in character etched into the back.

Ending with the president was such a solid choice
What an amazing series
Waiting for the next
😁👏👏👏

Surprised no mention of the Vostok in The Life Aquatic....
Let’s be honest the only watch anyone talks about from “Zissou” is the Vostok but I guess not clickbait like a Rolex
Went on about the GMT Master in Life Aquatic but didn't even mention the Vostoks.
This is epic. Much more of this.
Karen...I just need one more for the collection. Great video
I really enjoyed this segment. Looking forward to many more! Cheers!
I know Rolex is more famous but come on man when watch nerds mention Aquatic Life the first thing they think of are the Vostoks, not the Rolex.
Great review Sir. I too watch ( pun not intended ) to see what watches characters are wearing. Another classic is The American with George Clooney. However, I'm glad you mentioned Glengarry GlenRoss. I love Ricky Roma's Two tone Datejust.

Great video & story. Thank you
The Karen bit at the end was nice cherry on top to the video
Very good video!! Love it!
Features The Life Aquatic but doesn't mention Vostok? mmm 🤔
Great episode. I personally like the latest James Bond Omega Seamaster for three reasons:
1. It's in an iconic Movie
2. It's attainable
3. It's available.
Did you hear that Rolex? HINT: #3
This was pretty cool to watch. make it a regular thing!
Omega really did well on their investment in 007.
Mr Milton this was top notch. bravo! fun!
Fantastic video! Loved it!
Nice video , but left out the Vostok . I see I'm not the only one who noticed that . Maybe kinda snobby!
Really enjoyed this!
We want MORE!!
Loved it, more of these videos please 🙏🏻
Great piece Danny!
You skipped the Vostok in Zissou!!
This is an awesome series! 👍
Amazing video!
New favorite series!
Great one! Thanks -
Let's see that Doxa Shark-Hunter in the next episode! I need an excuse to watch Three Days of the Condor again.
No kidding, I must have seen this movie 200 times, including many times in the theater!
I think the Rolex DD played a bigger role in GGGR than Goodfellas so between the two movies featured, I would have highlighted that movie and iconic scene over anything in Goodfellas that barely showed the watch.
Make this a series!
Excellent, thanks.
Great work!
Yes, telling time is equally as important and shocking someone’s eyeballs out😂
in The French Dispatch the watches were carefully chosen by Anderson. I think there's a Hodinkee video about it.
Oh yeah this series works. Tv shows next?
really solid content
I’d love to see more of these
great content!
Love it! Make it a thing

I just watched Drive in the weekend with Ryan Gosling and his Patek features heavily in the movie. Perhaps for part 2
Beautiful presentation
more of these please
Good one!

We go from Hey Hodinkee to this? Yeesh.
Very cool video. If you decide to do any more might I suggest a watch that I own and love, the Hamilton Ventura, different versions of which are worn in the Men In Black series.
A watch I don’t own but wish I did, that plays a specific role in a movie is the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph that Jessie gives to Walt as a birthday present.
Well that was awesome! I got a film/watch question: what are the watches Andreas Riseborough and Dane DeHaan wear in ZeroZeroZero?
Was hoping the beloved DW-290 made an appearance. The Mission Impossible!!!
Hey Hodinkee, apollo 13 had the Speedy but in reality they used a rolex gmt2 to time the reentry
Very enjoyable content.
Great crossover
7:32 - So true......
More series like this 👌
