Released on Netflix on Friday, 22 July, the movie 'The Gray Man' starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, etc. is another spy action/thriller movie where a watch brand is involved.
Just like James Bond with Rolex (in the early times) or Omega recently, and Kingsman with Bremont, the Gray Man also introduces a watch brand.
History has shown us that having a code name, perfect marksmanship, and a case full of international passports are some super spy necessities. In addition, a fantastic watch is also important.
In The Gray Man, the talented and (IMHO very calm) spy Sierra Six, played by Ryan Gosling, wears a new type of watch: TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands. Ryan Gosling watch in this movie is just simple yet elegant.

I mean, in case you still remember, we all know that Ryan Gosling was named as TAG Heuer brand ambassador in October 2021, so it is not a surprise that in his most recent movie as the international assassin Sierra Six, Gosling demonstrates the strength and authenticity of his brand engagement.
Did you know that Six was originally intended to sport a different timepiece? However, Gosling noted that "When I first tried on the brand that was intended, it was way too big. It was really impractical. It felt like something a spy would never wear."
Just two days prior to the start of filming, he asked TAG to send a few items because Ryan Gosling is, of course, a brand ambassador.
In the end, Ryan Gosling watch in the movie is the TAG Heuer Carrera Three Hands.

The classic TAG Heuer Carrera in stainless steel ref. WBN2111.FC6505 has an iconic signature design, blending precision timekeeping with distinctive looks. The 39mm steel watch features a date window at 6 o'clock, a silver sunray brushed dial complemented by rhodium-plated hands, hour markers, and an applied TAG Heuer shield.
Its domed sapphire crystal has a double anti-reflective treatment. The steel folding clasp with the attached TAG Heuer logo and double safety push buttons secures the black alligator strap securely.
Ryan Gosling watch in the movie is very simple, even by civilian standards. The only complication function this watch has is notifying you what the date is. Therefore it sticks to the most straightforward design imaginable. Additionally, in Gosling's version, the silver hour markers, hands, and dial nearly disappear into the face.
As a fan of action/thriller movies, the classic and simple looks of the watch fit Sierra Six's character as a spy. I just can't imagine a spy wearing a playful watch such as Daytona Rainbow or watches in yellow gold or rose gold. Somehow they just don't fit.

Short Review About the Movie
Talking shortly about the movie, if you are into an action-packed, entertaining movie with a non-stop thrill ride with some fantastic action scenes and, of course, a top-notch cast, then I recommend you to watch the movie. Along with the action and drama, there is a wonderful blend of dark humor that appears to be almost perfectly timed at all the best, most suitable moments.
Not only did Ryan Gosling do well, but Chris Evans also played well with his crazy, funny, lunatic bad guy. All in all, I honestly did not want it to stop and would highly suggest it.
