Ryan Reynolds wears a Hamilton Officer Auto

Buried (2010) never leaves the box. Ryan Reynolds plays Paul Conroy, an American truck driver working in Iraq who comes to nailed inside a wooden coffin under the sand, with a lighter, a phone, and a shrinking supply of air. Worn & Wound's Halloween screen-watch roundup picks out the watch buried with him, one "which ends up very dirty during his ordeal": a Hamilton Khaki Field Officer Auto, reference H70615733.

The Khaki Field line leans on real history. Hamilton built field and service watches for American soldiers during the Second World War, and the modern Khaki Field keeps that face: a matte black dial, bold white numerals, luminous hands, and a self-winding movement. Hamilton has spent decades on screen too, with a film department that has placed its watches in hundreds of productions. Buried is a small, dark entry on that list, the watch slowly caked in dirt alongside the man wearing it.
