About this deal

In the fourth installment of the spy-action film series, Ethan Hunt can be seen wearing a Tudor Heritage Chronograph timepiece instead of a Casio watch. By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform. Other than that, all of the different features and settings can be accessed and changed using the 4 buttons around the case. It has 200m water resistance and shock resistance and all the standard digital bells and whistles you know and love. The case has a more hexagonal shape to it, with 4 buttons protruding from four sides of the case itself.

The first movie was released in 1996 and, except for including the character of Jim Phelps (the MIF leader in the television series), was a complete overhaul from its TV counterpart. The second entry to the Mission Impossible film series was certainly a product of its time with the long black trench coats, shades, and fancy gunplay. We are going to be looking into this watch by examining the build quality, design, features, and pricing. While Jim Phelps was the honorable leader of the MIF in the TV series, the movie version painted him as a more malevolent and manipulative light who turned out to be the main antagonist of the first film.As the frontman and action hero in all the movies, Tom Cruise is synonymous with Mission Impossible. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. During the first Mission Impossible film, we can see Ethan Hunt wearing a Casio DW-290, which is often mistaken as a G-Shock model, which it isn’t. There are no frills on this watch, apart from a few colored pieces of text on the otherwise all-black Casio. Simple, classy, and tough – the CWC GS Sonar is an excellent outdoor timepiece for when hiking, camping, or saving the world from mass destruction.

On the other hand, if you have more money to spare, it would be highly recommended that you go ahead and get a G-Shock instead. In 2006 to commemorate the release of Mission Impossible III Casio released a special limited edition version of the model worn in Mission Impossible 3, the Casio G Shock MTG-910D. In particular are the “illuminator” and “water resist” texts on the north and south edges of the dial. The DW290 has also been dubbed the “Mission Impossible” due to the fact that it was featured in the 1996 film of the same name starring Tom Cruise.The DW6900 is equipped with a Japanese quartz movement and has a rather bulky build with its 45mm hard resin case. The MTG-910D also appears to be a tailormade timepiece for Ethan Hunt with its black and silver color tone and sleeker aesthetic. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below.

The watch has been digitally or actually modified, for example the Casio, G-Shock and G markings have been removed, see the screenshot on the left.

In many ways, it is not the most spectacular of Casio G-Shocks, but given it is meant to be worn by Ethan Hunt as he throws himself from one death-defying situation to another, that is not a surprise. We will be going through each of the six installments of the Mission Impossible film franchise and see what type of watch Tom Cruise wore for each entry. This style not only reflects the tone of the movies, but also the style of each character in the franchise.

Admittedly, the overall design here is not the best we’ve seen from Casio, but it is not entirely horrid to look at either. Whilst I own and love luxury brands I have a very eclectic collection with everything from a Seiko or Casio right up to a Rolex. However, the iconic Mission Impossible theme, the lighted fuse intro, and self-destructing messages were kept intact.In a Mission Impossible movie that might have the most exhilarating ‘race against time’ scene in the franchise, the CWC GS Sonar Watch is the perfect companion for our intrepid special agent operative.
