Worn by: Nicolas Cage as Benjamin Franklin Gates
Reference: Rolex Submariner
Brand: Rolex
Benjamin Franklin Gates wears a Rolex Submariner Date ref. 16610 throughout his quest to find the treasure hidden by the Founding Fathers. The watch features a gloss black dial, aluminum bezel, and small applied markers with white gold surrounds—the reference had an impressive run of over two decades ending in 2010. In a memorable scene at Urban Outfitters while evading law enforcement, Gates uses his Submariner as collateral, telling the cashier: "I have this diver's watch. It's called a Submariner. I dive with this, it's actually quite valuable." He temporarily trades the watch for a $100 bill needed to solve a clue. The Submariner is visible throughout the film, including worn loosely on his wrist during a car ride with Howe's goons.
