Late in the seventh episode of The Boys' fifth and final season, the timepiece tied to Frenchie turns up in close-up, and it is a pocket stopwatch rather than a wristwatch: a Heuer Trackmaster, caught by the French watch outlet montres-de-luxe. Eric Kripke's Amazon series began in 2019 and came back for its last run in the spring of 2026, premiering on April 8, with Tomer Kapon again as Frenchie, the team's chemist and bomb-maker.
Heuer brought out the Trackmaster at the end of the 1960s as a cheap, rugged stopwatch for coaches and track judges, and it sold more than 190,000 of them by 1970, usually in a lightweight plastic case. The dial is plain white with a 60-second scale around the rim, and it is run by three controls: a green crown you wind and press to start, a red pusher to stop, and a third to send the hand back to zero. A Trackmaster served as an official timer at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Heuer retired the line in the early 1990s, a few years after the company became TAG Heuer.
What it cannot do is tell you the time. A stopwatch measures elapsed intervals and nothing else, so this one has no hour hand and never shows the hour of the day.
