Cate Blanchett wears a Cartier Tank Française

Early in Babel, before the stray rifle shot that sets the film in motion, Cate Blanchett's Susan Jones rests at a roadside stop in Morocco with a soda in front of her, midway through a trip she is taking with her husband Richard (Brad Pitt) to repair a marriage strained since the death of their infant son. Not long after, she is hit through the window of their tour bus and left badly wounded in a remote village.

On her wrist in that scene is a rectangular steel watch with a light dial and an integrated polished-link bracelet, the silhouette of a Cartier Tank Française. The brand is not legible on screen, and the only catalogue to name the watch is a single film-watch site, so the Tank Française reading rests on that case shape and bracelet rather than a confirmed marking.
