Tom Hanks wears an unidentified watch

Conrad Hall's last film was Road to Perdition. The cinematographer died six months after its 2002 release and won a posthumous Academy Award for his work. You can see why in every frame. The rain sequences alone justify the film's reputation. Sam Mendes directed, with Tom Hanks cast against type as Michael Sullivan, an Irish mob enforcer who goes on the run with his twelve-year-old son after the boy witnesses a murder. Paul Newman plays John Rooney, the crime boss Sullivan considers a father. Daniel Craig plays Rooney's actual son, whose jealousy triggers the bloodshed. Jude Law plays a hitman who photographs his victims.

Sullivan wears a gold rectangular-cased dress watch on a black leather strap, visible in several scenes though not in the featured image, which is a promotional poster. Rectangular watches were everywhere in the early 1930s. Hamilton, Bulova, and Elgin all produced elegant tank-style cases that sat flat under a shirt cuff and signaled professional respectability without making a statement. That is Sullivan exactly. He dresses well because a man in his position is supposed to dress well, not because he cares about style. The watch hasn't been identified, but the shape and size are right for the period and the character.
