Denzel Washington is on the phone with John Travolta over a hijacked subway train, and Frank Wood is the guy in the room deciding what the city can offer. Tony Scott directed the 2009 remake of The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3, and Wood plays Police Commissioner Sterman as the institutional voice — the man who represents the city's official position while Washington's Walter Garber does the actual human work of keeping hostages alive.
Wood's watch hasn't been identified. He's a character actor who works mostly in theater — a longtime member of the Atlantic Theater Company — and his film roles tend to be these kinds of authority figures. From the image, it's a round watch on a steel bracelet with a light dial, which fits the character: a police commissioner would wear something that reads as institutional seniority, the kind of watch a career bureaucrat receives for twenty years of service and never replaces.
