Probably would've been stopwatches at that point. Was only in 1957 that Omega decided to make a specialized drivers' watch with a large external tachymeter bezel (and it took Heuer and Rolex another 5 years to offer the same); before that the realm of professional-focused wristwatches were centered mainly around divers.
A pre-Carrera chrono, such as the Heuer 3336 or 2444 would be period correct for 1957, the year the movie takes place.

TAG Heuer highlighted Dempsey promoting the movie in their IG stories. So fingers crossed that we might get Heuer stopwatches and perhaps a Heuer wristwatch on Dempsey's character in Ferrari.

Period correct yes, but not quite correct for usage. Not many photos from that time show drivers wearing wristwatches.

I wasn't thinking while driving. He could certainly wear it in the non racing scenes.

So he is wearing a wrist watch while in character.


If we assume it's a Heuer, it could be a black dial ref. 404 or 2444 or 3336.

The late Anthony Bourdain wore a TH Monaco on (at least) one of his Parts Unknown episodes. Man, I miss his authentic storytelling.

What watch did he get? Can't make it out from those photos.

I couldn't identify it either, even with the complete scene 😕 They didn't show the watch to the camera

Patrick Dempsey has started to promote the new Ferrari movie, which stars Adam Driver in the title role. Dempsey co-stars as Ferrari driver Piero Taruffi.

Here appropriately wearing the Carrera ref. 1158CHN aka Ferrari pilot's watch.

Also wearing the red Carrera RS2.7 here.

Will we see him wearing a Heuer in the movie?
In this shot, he seems to have a stopwatch strapped to his wrist.

I noticed this Heuer stopwatch in this IG post about Dempsey visiting the TAG Heuer factory.

Looks like what he might be wearing in the upcoming Ferrari movie.

It’s only a red carpet event (and we might have already had the pic around here…), but what is Ryan G. wearing here?

Think one of the gold Carrera's he's been wearing in the Barbie movie.

Feels like a feature length movie extension of "The Chase For Carrera". Seems like it was filmed around the same time too, based on Ryan's look.

BTW, how many remember the 80's TV original?

Don't recall the series, but I definitely remember the opening!
