Started watching the new season of White Lotus on HBO and one of the characters had a Jupiter Moonswatch - on a different strap too.

Pretty sure he is VERY fond of his vintage sub!

Drew Pritchard the famous antiques dealer hosting shows here in the UK such as salvage hunters . In his latest TV offering when he is restoring his house in bath I noticed he was wearing a vintage speedy with a Flat link bracket. He normally wears a Rolex or a tag .

We're rewatching Stargate SG-1. Although I had years ago noted that General Hammond started wearing a Seamaster professional off and on sometime in season 3 or so (and continuing thereafter) I just saw that in the episode "Upgrades" (S4E3) Major Carter appears to be wearing a midsize. Couldn't get a great image of it but it has what looks like a reflective aluminum dial and the fairly distinct case.



The only problem I have with this identification is that I cannot clearly see any helium Escape valve, although I understand there were some midsize seamasters from the early 2000s that did not have an HeV (and it's possible the prop department used a fake). I'll see if it shows back up, the show has a number of field watches and the expected issue G-Shocks and Carter seems to have the most diverse collection of all the characters when not active.

Edit: Probably a 2224.80. Size looks about right, and the lady Seamaster line apparently did not have the HeV. Maybe a 212 (the black dial), but there are times it appears blue. Hard to tell with a TV show shot on tape!

Couple of shots of General Hammond's SMP 2531 from SG-1. In the earlier episodes It's hard to get good pictures due to recording quality.

In later seasons, that clears up a bit.




This last one (below) is from S5E14; 48 hours. Occasionally he wears this on his left wrist but almost always on his right.




And one more from S7:E1. In this scene I could actually see the seconds hand ticking, so this is a 2541.80. Definitely the clearest shot I've seen, the film quality increased sometime in season 5 or 6. Really makes me wonder just how significant relationship between on-screen branding and recording quality may be.



I'm also quite curious if there is any Omega that gets more extensive screen time in a TV show. This is part of Hammond's uniform until partway through season 7, where he switches to a blue diver I can't identify and then later what MAY be a planet ocean or submariner (no good look yet)

Any ideas? Terrible shot but the bezel is pretty distinct. Early 2000s.

Stargate SG-1. Hammond switched from his normal 2531/2541.80 to this and has worn it a couple episodes.

Clearly a Seamaster. Don S Davis was a great actor. Loved him in SG1 which I’ve seen a million times.

I'm not so sure. Davis wore a 2531/2541 until a handful of episodes into season 7. This is definitely not the same watch, it has no helium Escape valve in the dial is significantly more blue and the bezel looks more like a "cog."

Here's two more shots of it.

From Tomorrow Never Dies, one of the crew of the stealth ship clearly wearing an Omega Speedmaster.



If I'm not mistaken Stamper is also wearing one:
