Status
Confirmed

George Clooney, who has been an Omega brand ambassador for over a decade, wears a Casio G-Shock GW-5600BJ in Burn After Reading. It is roughly a hundred-dollar solar-powered digital watch. Harry Pfarrer is a paranoid, sex-addicted Treasury agent who thinks he is being followed, is cheating on his wife with Tilda Swinton's Katie Cox, and somehow ends up involved with Frances McDormand's gym employee. The Coen Brothers wrote him as a man who believes he is James Bond and is actually closer to Inspector Clouseau.

The G-Shock fits Harry perfectly. It is tough-guy gear for a man who is not actually tough, a government watch for someone who spends more time on dating websites than on operations. The GW-5600BJ features Tough Solar power and radio-controlled timekeeping, the kind of spec-sheet details that would appeal to a person who likes feeling prepared for situations he will never face. In the image, Clooney sits on a bedroom floor pointing a gun with an expression of pure panic, which is about as far from an Omega advertisement as you can get.
