Tom Selleck wears a Rolex Datejust

The other watch Tom Selleck wears as Peter Mitchell in Three Men and a Baby is a two-tone Rolex Datejust, steel and gold. In the mid-1980s the two-tone Datejust was a default among successful professionals, a way to signal that you had done well without shouting about it, which fits a Manhattan architect like Mitchell.

He also wears a cheap Timex Ironman in the same film, and that range, a plastic sport watch alongside a gold-and-steel Rolex, is the detail watch writers single out: two ends of the spectrum on one leading man who designs skyscrapers but is undone by a seven-pound infant.
