Good luck to whoever identifies all the watches in the new Mr & Mrs Smith series. I loved it so much I almost didn't notice at least 3 different watches he wears. She appears to wear the same Cartier throughout, however.

I've been watching Tracker this year. Normally wears an Omega but tonight he has on this. Thought it was a Timex but not the logo. Anyone?

Lots of great eye candy at Indian Wells these past couple of weeks (and the watches weren’t bad, either).

Looks like one of the astronauts in Apple's Constellation, is wearing a Speedy.
Good show if you like a psychological thriller with a space aspect.

New movie “Fly Me to the Moon” trailer released today. Premise might be a bit hokey but Omega looks to have a big cameo in the movie.

I’ve been watching a lot of Top Gear re-runs lately. It’s a good show for watch spotting as the guys switch up timepieces quite a bit and the in-car cameras give good wrist views. Still hard to discern exact watches especially with the early 2000s video quality. But, thanks to that polarizing HEV I noticed Jeremy Clarkson wearing a Seamaster and also a Planet Ocean in a few episodes. Of course I was excited to see some Omega love.

"...And this brings me neatly onto the question of watches. For some time now I've been on the hunt for a new one but the choice is tricky. I couldn't have a Breitling because I don't own an Audi. I couldn't have a Calvin Klein because they are pants, I couldn't have a Gucci because I'm not a footballist's wife, I couldn't have a TW Steel because my wrist isn't big enough to sport something that can be seen from space, I couldn't have a Tissot because I'm not eight and the only thing in the world worse than a fake Rolex is a real one.

Have you noticed something odd about Rolexes? Especially the modern ones that wind automatically when you move your wrist about? A great many owners wear them on their right hand. I jump to no conclusions here but you can feel free.

Mostly, though, I cannot wear any of these watches because I am an Omega man. I have worn a Seamaster for years, not because James Bond has one and not because Neil Armstrong wore something by the same maker on the moon but because on the day I went away to school my parents gave me a Genéve Dynamic.

The trouble is that for the past few years Omega has been the Pillsbury dough of Swiss watches. The Terry and June. Omegas were dreary. They were boring to behold. They were Vectras in a world of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The De Ville Prestige, for example, was plainly designed by someone who had a black-and-white telly.

This filled me with despair. I wanted a watch. For the same reasons that I bank at Barclays and wear Levi's, it had to be an Omega, and it just wasn't coming up with the goods. It was like Leeds United. Once the home of Peter Lorimer and Gary Sprake but now an also-ran bunch of unimaginative clod-hopping no-hopers.

And then one day, in Hong Kong, I saw it. A new Omega. It's called the Railmaster and it is a thing of unparalleled beauty. There is no button that owners think will call for help if they find themselves in a crashing helicopter on Kilimanjaro, it is not waterproof to 8,000 metres, there is no stopwatch, there is no swivelling bezel to tell you how much air you have left in your tanks and you even have to wind it up every morning or it will stop. Plainly this is a watch for the sedentary soul. The man with no hang glider or mini sub in his garage. I bought it in an instant."

I think I mostly remember Clarkson wearing his Planet Ocean in Top Gear, but haven't watched the show in years. The above quote was made via Clarkson's column in The Sunday Times in 2009 (and apparently later reprinted in a book). Lots of great watches in that show. I used to assume this comment may have been at least partly aimed as a "joke" at May and Hammond, who both occasionally wear Rolexes on the show, but I don't know if that's accurate. They rib each other constantly.

Some great watches on that show though!

How about this one "The Fall guy" with Ryan Gosling. It cant be a Speedy can it? I know its just a movie, but a stunt man would not wear a watch he could not mow his lawn with. Its just not credible. The clasp looks very Omega like.

I thought I remembered Tag being involved with that movie. I could be wrong...

Ryan Gosling is a Tag Heuer brand ambassador. Certainly a Tag.

Can anyone identify this Rolex diver that Michael Keaton wears in Spider-Man: Homecoming as The Vulture?

Just a 6 series sub?

Spotted this chronograph on Dr. Cutter's wrist in Primeval (S1E2, super cheesy British show but fun). Not sure if anyone can ID this, or if it is just a generic "speedy" lookalike.

CWC maybe?

Edit: pretty sure, based on that date window placement, this is a CWC.
