Icon12 Rolex spotted in movies: What do X-men choose?

I was enjoying a laid back Friday night home cinema session, watching X-men Dark Phoenix when... Boom! There it was!

At a certain point a middle-aged Charles Xavier (played by James McAvoy) meets Magneto (played by Michael Fassbender). What tool-watch would the Professor choose?

Well, the Rolex Milgauss 116400GV, of course. Nothing better to endure the enormous magnetic fields Magneto can generate or resist those of the many powerful instruments at the lab, such as the machine Cerebro.



A zoomed in crop on the watch clearly shows the orange lighting-shaped seconds hand, and the colour variation of the indices (3, 6, 9).



Hope you enjoy this useless piece of watch trivia info!

Any other recent watch-spotting findings of your own?
