David Harewood plays Captain Poison, the RUF commander who forces Solomon Vandy to dig for diamonds in Edward Zwick's Blood Diamond. The character is based loosely on real rebel leaders from the Sierra Leone Civil War, men who looted villages, conscripted children as soldiers, and amputated the hands of civilians to terrorize the population into compliance.

Captain Poison wears a gold watch on his left wrist, visible as he stands in military fatigues and a red beret overseeing the mining operation. It is the kind of detail that real warlords were known for, wearing stolen luxury items as status symbols while their soldiers went barefoot. The specific make has not been identified, but a looted gold watch is exactly the prop this character would have.
