Robert De Niro plays Ed, a recently widowed grandfather who moves in with his daughter's family and lands in an escalating prank war with his grandson over a bedroom. Tim Hill directed the 2020 comedy, adapted from Robert Kimmel Smith's children's novel, with Uma Thurman, Rob Riggle, Jane Seymour, and Cheech Marin in the cast, plus Christopher Walken, who co-starred with De Niro in The Deer Hunter, the 1978 Best Picture winner.

Ed wears an Oris Big Crown Pointer Date, a Swiss pilot's watch. The Big Crown dates to 1938 and takes its name from the oversized crown Oris built so pilots could reset the time without removing their gloves; the pointer date is the slender red-tipped central hand that sweeps to the date printed around the rim of the dial. Oris, founded in Hölstein in 1904, sits at the affordable end of Swiss watchmaking, and this one runs around two thousand dollars. The identification comes from a single watch-spotting writeup, and the watch is not prominent enough on screen to confirm beyond that.
