I think Solo's watch was a Omega Constellation on a Milanese bracelet.Not sure about Illya's watch.

Good call, but I found a better photo, and the watch has horned lugs, not the dog leg lugs found on the pie pan constellation.
Whereas the dog leg lugs are unique to Omega the horn lugs were used by several different watch companies.

I liked that show. When was it on TV? I am guessing around 1966.

Nice watches! Seeing how the posted photos are probably from the Publicity Department or on-set stills photographer, it's likely these were provided to the actors from the props guys.

Thanks! The show premiered in 1964 and ran for 4 seasons.



I think his watch was an Omega because in the 2015 Man From U.N.C.L.E movie remake Napoleon Solo(Henry Cavill) wears a an Omega.
