Mel Gibson wears a TAG Heuer Formula 1

Martin Riggs keeps his dead wife's photo in his wallet and, in the first act, a loaded gun in his mouth. Mel Gibson plays him in Richard Donner's Lethal Weapon (1987) as a man who has decided to die and has not gotten around to it, and the recklessness that follows is not performance but the logic of someone with nothing left to lose.

On his wrist is a TAG Heuer Formula 1, reference 383.513/1, the all-black plastic version of the line TAG Heuer launched in 1986 as an affordable, quartz-powered entry point to the brand. It is a cheap, rugged sport watch, the kind of thing a former Green Beret would strap on without a second thought, and it became the watch most associated with Riggs.
