One word: plastics. Mike Nichols's The Graduate gave Dustin Hoffman his breakout as Benjamin Braddock, a young man who has done everything right and feels nothing, drifting into an affair with Mrs. Robinson and then chasing her daughter, Elaine.

In the scenes where it shows, Ben wears a plain watch with a dark dial on a dark leather strap, most visible during the climactic drive when he races his Alfa Romeo to reach Elaine. No one has identified it. Watch enthusiasts who have tried to pin it down have come up empty, and the only listing for the film, on a shopping aggregator, offers a modern Hamilton Intra-Matic as a lookalike rather than as the actual watch. For now it stays unidentified.
