Russell Crowe wears an unidentified watch

In American Gangster, Russell Crowe plays Richie Roberts, the New Jersey detective who turned himself into a department outcast through an act of honesty. He and his partner found close to a million dollars in unmarked bills and turned every cent in, and after that the other cops would not work with him. Ridley Scott's 2007 film follows his long, patient case against the Harlem heroin importer Frank Lucas, played by Denzel Washington.

In this scene Roberts sits at a desk among metal filing cabinets, hands clasped at his chin, a gold-tone dress watch on a bracelet just visible at his wrist. The dial cannot be read, and no watch publication or prop listing identifies the piece; one collector forum thread asking what Crowe wears in the film never drew an answer. The little that can be said is that the watch is gold rather than steel, sits on a gold bracelet, and has no dive bezel.
