For decades, Pierce Brosnan and Guy Ritchie is the link up we’ve all been patiently waiting for. No doubt about it, the Irish actor has always had the minerals required to play the lead in a classic Ritchie drama about a warring crime family. And in MobLand, he finally gets his calling as Conrad Harrigan, who is described as “worse than the Taliban when he gets going”.
When you’re the chief of a mob whose drivers trade stolen motors for UK perfect replica watches (a side hustle mentioned in episode one), decent horological know-how is a must. But what does an incognito gangster boss wear on his wrist?
Brosnan has Conrad wearing a stealth best fake Omega watches – a rose gold Omega Constellation Globemaster on a brown leather strap to be more specific, which is intentionally more quiet luxury and understated than you might expect.
“Well curated high quality copy watches on TV shows do add an enticement for me personally to see what they are wearing and how those watches are tied into the story,” says Sacha of the Davidoff Brothers. “This sturdy watch with a retro appearance is a good choice for Conrad because it gives an air of class while remaining a resilient ‘dog in the trenches’ watch too. Cocktail party or shootout, it’s versatile.”
“It was a style that didn’t provoke too much, and he could change the strap from leather to metal depending on what he was doing,” adds MobLand costume designer Rebecca Hale. In terms of performance, the Globemaster was the first master chronometer certified Omega, which Davidoff says means it’s antimagnetic, has excellent chronometry and is robust shock resistance – “all ideal for a mob boss who has nothing to prove and appreciates quality UK cheap super clone watches.” It is also a wink to Brosnan’s ties as an Omega ambassador during his Bond years: “He even did a Constellation chrono campaign back in the 90s,” believes Davidoff.
If you’re masking as a country gent in the Cotswolds while your employees are dealing guns, class A’s, and beefing rival gangs in the Big Smoke, a more bling watch like a gold Daytona is too much of a giveaway. It doesn’t pair with tweed and it will likely raise suspicions as to the source of your income. But having the option of swapping out the leather strap of your Swiss made replica Omega Constellation watches for a bracelet in the locker – that’s the boss-like power play required.
While 1:1 wholesale fake Omega Constellation watches might not feel too gangster, neither does having matching his and hers ones with your missus. That’s right, Conrad’s wife Maeve (played by Helen Mirren) also wears an Omega Constellation in gold and stainless steel. “The ideal pairing for a crime family couple,” says Davidoff. “It shows class without raising too many eyebrows. At the same time an understated watch matching her husband’s shows humility, loyalty and intelligence.”
