      Nice watch. Great movie.

      This isn’t Eastwood’s watch. This is the watch of Eddie Goody (Geoffrey Lewis).

      The information for the top picture is incorrect.  The Lucerne Diver watch is worn by Red Leary (actor: George Kennedy).  The screen shot is from when he and Thunderbolt (actor: Clint Eastwood) break into the home of the Montana Armored manager.  Clint is not wearing a watch in that scene, Kennedy is.  George Kennedy can also be seen wearing this watch virtually the entire movie.  The watch Clint Eastwood wears is the 1971 Timex Electric Diver watch listed at Lightfoot’s.  He wears this watch for most of the movie and tries to give it to Lightfoot early on.  Late in the film, just before the robbery he gives Lightfoot the watch to wear and he uses it in the screen shots shown above.  Thought I should clear this up since the info above is incorrect.

        Hey, you’re right!!!  I watched it again and Clint is wearing a watch with a metal band (but no close ups). I’m not sure how I made that mistake…  Thanks for the correction :-)

          No problem… This is my favorite film and I’ve seen it 100′s of times so I know a little too much about it for my own good.  LOL.  Just bought a 1971 Timex Electric Diver watch too because of the film.

      Interestingly, Lucerne was the Co that designed & initially patented the now regarded as ‘classic’ dive watch dial we see here. Copied by almost every other
      Co since.
