Chris Evans wears a Hamilton American Classic

Lloyd Hansen is a psychopathic CIA contractor who wears knitted polos, ankle-cut pants, and a carefully groomed mustache, a man cosplaying as someone from a more elegant era while torturing people with improvised tools. The Russo brothers directed The Gray Man (2022), and Chris Evans plays the villain opposite Ryan Gosling's Sierra Six, a CIA operative on the run. The Hamilton Boulton, with its 1940s tonneau case and Art Deco proportions, is Hansen's costume jewelry.

Hamilton introduced the Boulton in 1941, and it was one of their most popular models of that decade. The modern reissue maintains the period-correct case shape, a softened rectangle that curves with the wrist, while slightly enlarging the dimensions for contemporary tastes. It is a dress watch designed to look vintage, which is exactly how Hansen presents himself: polished surfaces over something rotten underneath. The watch contrasts directly with Ryan Gosling's Sierra Six, who wears a TAG Heuer Carrera, modern, functional, anonymous.
