Worn by: Russell Crowe as Jackson Healy
Reference: Omega Speedmaster
Brand: Omega
Jackson Healy’s Omega Speedmaster Mark II in The Nice Guys is the perfect anachronism for a man stuck in the wrong decade. Set in the smoggy absurdity of 1977 Los Angeles, the watch’s orange racing dial pulses against Crowe’s beer-stained shirts and busted knuckles—a remnant of mechanical precision in a world running on fumes. Healy’s profession—enforcer, not detective—makes the chronograph’s racing pedigree ironic: this is no man in a hurry. The Speedmaster marks the passing of time in a life where nothing improves, every tick a small rebellion against entropy. It’s the watch of a man who has stopped caring but can’t quite stop ticking.
