What watch would the “Most Interesting Man* in the World” wear?

Image

Just a thought that popped in my head hanging around a large home improvement store that rhymes with the word “blows”.

*For those who put much importance on these distinctions, the word man is used here in a universal sense to represent all genders. 😬🙄🤯

a pocket watch from 1759

Sounds more like Chuck Norris…is he the most interesting man in the world?

·

He’d wear a “u-blow” on one wrist and a MoonSwatch Mission to Uranus on the other 😭

He covers all his bases.

·

I hope he will also wear some kind of pants and a shirt otherwise it's going to get awkward real fast.

·

I have a few choice options!! I'll check back later, see what ya come up with😉

The Most Interesting Man in the world, the Dos Equis guy, I've never been able to figure it out. I think it might be Navitimer?

I'd think "The Man" (shortname) would have a watch with a captivating backstory he loves to tell his audience. During the <insert name here> Revolution, it was in his shirt pocket (inherited from Grandpappy?) at the time and took a bullet for him as he was caught in crossfire. Returning home from the conflict, Alonzo, his skillful local jeweler, was able to get it running again, new crystal, etc. So he now wears this watch today to remind him of one of his many brushes with death. My candidates: Hamilton, Elgin, Waltham, or Bulova GI watches from WWII.

Shown Below: Bulova A-11 "The Watch that Won the War" (because it was hackable, able to be synched)

I forget how resourceful "The Man" is! Using nothing but what he scavenged within reach, and the pocket knife he received as a present from his parents for becoming an Eagle Scout, he performs a field repair of the shattered watch that holds up to this day! 😂

On his other wrist!

No watch. It's always whatever time he wants it to be.

He’d wear a Hamilton

I’m glad you asked. I’m currently wearing one I built. 36mm explorer homage. Green gasket edition.

Oh good eye. That makes sense. The Most Interesting Man in the World would definitely wear a Swiss Army Watch. He's too cool to go mainstream brand, too reasonable to go expensive, but he cares about quality and looks

Omega Speedy

That man would be Story Musgrave imho 😉
