Kevin Costner wears a Hamilton

Kenneth O'Donnell controlled access to President Kennedy, which during the Cuban Missile Crisis made him one of the most important men in the White House. Kevin Costner plays him in Thirteen Days, which tells the thirteen days of October 1962 from the staff level: not the generals, not the President, but the gatekeeper who decides who gets into the room.

A close-up during one of the crisis meetings settles on a wrist and a round steel watch with a white dial, dauphine hands, and Arabic numerals at twelve, three, six, and nine. The dial reads Hamilton above the word Waterproof. The brand is unmistakable on screen, though the specific model is not, so it stays a Hamilton without a model name.
