John Smith is out in the woods in matching olive fatigues, a pistol shoved into the waistband of his pants, a steel dive watch on his left wrist. The watch has a dark dial under a black bezel, set on a pale fabric strap pulled on for the field. The brand never resolves on screen. It is a tool diver, dressed down for a day of work that happens to involve a gun.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith, made by Francesca Sloane and Donald Glover for Prime Video in 2024, reworks the 2005 movie into something almost unrelated, two strangers assigned by one faceless agency to pose as a married couple. Glover and Maya Erskine play the recruits, handed a Manhattan brownstone, the cover names John and Jane Smith, and a new high-risk job every week. The fake marriage turns into a real one, which is the season's actual subject.

Costume designer Madeline Weeks, a former GQ fashion director, built John as a watch guy. "He loves nice things, but he's not a snob," she told the magazine. On screen that is mostly classic Rolex sport models: the Daytona, the Submariner, two GMT-Master IIs in the brown Root Beer and the red-and-blue Pepsi. One is a custom Rolex with Snoopy on the dial, which Rolex never authorized. Across brands there is an Omega on a custom leather band that he wears with an ivory sweater. Weeks set one rule for the lot, "crazy expensive, but not flashy, no diamonds," which is the job a spy needs a watch to do, cost a fortune and draw no second look. It is why the one he straps on for the woods is the plainest in the drawer.
