Reference: Victorinox Chrono Classic
Brand: Victorinox
A science fiction thriller where Captain Colter Stevens repeatedly relives the last 8 minutes before a commuter train explosion, attempting to identify the bomber and prevent a larger attack. Stevens finds himself in the body of a teacher aboard the train, with only 8 minutes to gather clues before the explosion resets the timeline. Gyllenhaal wears a Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic XLS MT with a 45mm stainless steel case and bracelet with gunmetal PVD coating and screw-in caseback. The watch features both analog and digital displays with 2 LCD windows, countdown timer with alarm, digital chronograph with 1/100th second accuracy, multi-lingual perpetual calendar, and GMT function with single crown operation. In the film, Stevens uses the countdown timer to track his remaining time within each 8-minute loop.
Worn by: Jeffrey Wright as Dr. Rutledge

Dr. Rutledge’s Omega Seamaster in Source Code functions like his experiment—precise, amoral, and obsessive about control. The polished silver dial and Co-Axial movement mirror his godlike authority over time loops and human lives. Each tick of the watch echoes the eight-minute cycles that define the story’s moral tension. When Rutledge coldly declares that sacrifice is “for the greater good,” the Seamaster gleams beneath fluorescent light, its beauty weaponized by intellect. The watch becomes an emblem of science untempered by empathy—a perfect machine in a story proving that perfection can be monstrous.
