Earlier this week, we compiled our list of the 3 most iconic watches in Hollywood history. Now, we’ve decided to take that article a step further with a list of retail links to watches that look quite a bit like the pieces in the movies.

Whether you’re a longtime watch enthusiast or just starting your collection, you may just find one of the watches on this list to be the perfect fit for you.

GX-Diver's 44mm Steel Cobalt | LIV

The GX-Diver's 44mm Steel Cobalt features a unique blue dial, an Elaboré grade, 26-jewel Swiss automatic movement, date cyclops magnification, a 42-hour power reserve, a surgical grade 316L stainless steel case with skeleton case-back, unidirectional 120-click matte blue bezel ring, a scratch-resistant & anti-reflective sapphire crystal, a screw-down crown, and water-resistant to 300 meters.

Price: $850

Commentary: Want an Omega Seamaster Professional 300 (Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), The World is Not Enough (1999), and Die Another Day (2002)) but don’t want to spend Omega money? The LIV GX-Diver’s 44mm Steel Cobalt bears a striking resemblance for a significantly lower price. Powered by an automatic movement and boasting a ~300-meter water-resistant construction, this sleek stainless-steel piece features a 44mm case with a ceramic bezel and a deep blue dial with wave details.

Ventura Auto | HAMILTON

The original Ventura, launched in 1957, made watchmaking history as the world's first electrical, battery powered watch. Creating an automatic version of a watch famed for its battery powered movement is a bold move, and one that's typical of Hamilton. This model offers a glimpse of the movement inside.

Price: $1,195

Commentary: Whether you’re channeling your inner Elvis Presley or Chris Hemsworth, the Hamilton Ventura lineup has just the piece for you. The automatic movement powering this model can be seen through a skeleton dial that differs dramatically from the iconic black dial of the original Ventura. However, the updated version with the brown leather strap takes this watch in an altogether different – yet exciting – direction that maintains the timepiece’s bold heritage.

Monaco Chronograph | TAG Heuer

This automatic chronograph Monaco Calibre 11 is THE original model, the very first square and waterproof chronograph in the world. Revolutionary and icon of the "King of Cool" Steve McQueen, this Calibre 11 edition still features the famous crown on the left; it was a way of showing that manual winding was no longer necessary.

Price: $8,100

Commentary: TAG Heuer maintains its legacy timepiece to this day, making the iconic Monaco Chronograph available to anyone and everyone with $8,100 to shell out for one of the most unique watches ever created. Still delivering critical design elements like a left-mounted crown and square-shaped sub-dials, the Monaco Chronograph repeatedly proves that the “King of Cool” wore the right piece in Le Mans.
