If you ready to send a luxury watch as a father's day gift 2015,if you don't know which watch will be a good choice,i will list the top 5 of Cinema’s Coolest Watches.
whereas the choice to use a watch in a movie was once a pure wardrobe decision, it’s now often the product of contractual marketing agreements. Generally, collectors are most interested in watches from before the era of product placement; it’s no surprise that the pieces picked for ad money just aren’t as cool. Below, we bring you our eight favorite silver screen timepieces that have made a huge impact on both cinema and the watch world.
1,Stallone’s Panerai watches

Sly singlehandedly revived Panerai from its struggles in the early ’90s. After their contract to supply the Italian Navy with wristwatches ended in ’93, Panerai looked to the civilian market, with little success. Sometime in ’95, Stallone happened to be in Rome (apparently in the market for a watch) when he spotted a Luminor in a shop window. He bought it on the spot to wear during his movie, Daylight, and proceeded to order a bunch with his signature engraved on the case back. From there, the rest is basically history: Sly continued to dominate the action movie scene, and Panerai has become one of the most recognizable luxury watch brands. Stallone can be seen wearing Panerai watches in numerous movies, including his latest, The Expendables

3,Steve McQueen’s Le Mans Tag heuer MonacoReplica TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Calibre12 CAW2111.FC6183
$169The “King of Cool” basically has a Midas touch when it comes to watches. In fact, he was never seen wearing the Rolex Explorer II reference 1655 — it’s known as the “McQueen” Explorer II because of an auction house marketing ploy. As for the Tag Heuer Monaco, there was no mistaking its presence on his wrist in the movie Le Mans. McQueen originally turned down an offer from Omega, thinking they were using him for promotional reasons, and then opted for the Monaco. Although the Monaco received all the screen time, a number of on set photos reveal McQueen’s true personal preference as his Submariner reference 5512. However, his mark had already been made, and the Monaco owes its provenance to him.
4,Alec Baldwin’s Gold Rolex
A gold Rolex has become an achievement watch for many people. To earn one, according to Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross, one must “always be closing”. In probably the most epic de-motivational speech of all time, Baldwin flaunts his yellow gold Rolex Day-Date in Ed Harris’ face, telling him it’s worth more than his car. If you’re fortunate enough to own a gold Rolex, we hope it’s not because you emulated Baldwin’s character to get there.
5,The Apollo 13 Omega Speedmasters
And perhaps the most obvious choice: Apollo 13 and the OMEGA Speedmaster. For a movie looking to capture accurate details of such an historic event as the incredible return of the Apollo 13 crew, getting the correct Velcro-strapped Speedy was a must. Although OMEGA may have had a promotional agreement in place, it would have been a major misstep to ignore the only mechanical watch certified for spaceflight by NASA. After proving its capabilities numerous times, there’s no doubt the Speedmaster is a legend, and being prominently featured in an Academy Award-winning film only adds to its legacy.
