His jacket, his Fedora hat, his whip, his pistol and his satchel: the adventurer panoply of the mythical Harrison Ford to embody Indiana Jones is rather little supplied. But it is this look that draws one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the history of cinema.
One last time, after the relatively successful episode of the crystal skull, Indy is back. History to face his past, and his destiny. But for his return to the big screen, at the end of June, this time, the archaeologist also wears a watch. A Hamilton Boulton, reissue of a model from the 1940s. What could be more logical when we try to count the number of films where, for nearly a century, we have seen a Hamilton watch on the hero's wrist...

Time has passed, as for all of us, for the famous teacher and adventurer. This time, the brand collaborated with prop maker Ben Wilkinson to ensure that the model chosen to be on his wrist corresponds well to the historical framework of the film, that it complements the look of Indiana Jones designed and created by Joanna Johnston (also at the origin of the outfits of the sagas Back to the Future or Mission Impossible). In fact, Indy's loyal friend, Renaldo, wears a custom Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba.
At 70 years old, Indiana Jones finally wears a watch! Hamilton
The Boulton, which made its first appearance in 1941, is a model from the brand's American Classic collection. If it has been updated more than once, and switched to the quartz movement in 2000, it has always kept its cushion-shaped case. Here, it is associated with a white dial with a small sub-dial and very Art Deco numerals. Want to offer you the same? It will cost you 775 € to sport this quartz model. As long as she doesn't ring the last hour of Indy, we'll forgive her for everything. But we wonder why, until then, no brand had ever thought of making Indiana Jones wear a watch!
