Robert De Niro wears a Timex Stealth

Neil McCauley lives by one rule in Michael Mann's Heat: don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in thirty seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner. Robert De Niro plays McCauley as a man who has stripped his life down to function, a bare apartment and no loose ends. Al Pacino, Val Kilmer, and Jon Voight co-star.

On his wrist is a black digital Timex, identified as the Timex Stealth, visible in several scenes including when he draws his pistol. It is a cheap, low-key watch with a slanted display, the opposite of a status piece, which is the point for a professional thief who wants nothing on him that draws attention or that he would mind leaving behind.
