Hanhart in the indiana jones movie ..?!?
There was a big marketing campaign when the latest Indiana Jones movie was launched (the dial of destiny) around the hamilton bolton that was used by indiana on the movie. Last weekend I finally watched the movie with my kids on streaming (didn’t go to the cinema at the time) despite the critics, I actually liked it. Anyhow, probably I am not the only one to notice, but the hamilton almost does not appear in the actual movie (I struggle to remember which scene), and instead the real main “watch” character seems to be a hanhart. I mean, don’t get me wrong I am a hamilton fan, but the german watch steals the attention in very important scenes on the movie. I think the actual model is a classic pilot chronograph caliber 40, not sure. But anyway, this is just one of those examples when a great watch goes way unnoticed. You can’t even find a single mention of this in the hanhart website, whereas for the Hamilton it is front and center.
Well, i find this a great watch that unfortunately not many people know and value. I leave here links of some scenes, and some of the photos from the movie.
What you guys think?

I am a collector of mostly affordable premium watches. I am not driven by price, but by quality and specs regardless of the brand. I like mechanicals and Quartz.
Great spot! Hanhart make some great watches and are a very under rated / little know brand with a long history.
Yes it certainly looks like one. Good spot! I think mostly watches don't end up on film by accident, must have been specified to be in keeping with the aircraft.
