Want to know what Joels watch is all about?! Well, look no further 🙂
In this video I explain what types of watches this fictional watch blends together, what it means in terms of watches and the story and what we can learn about it!
WATCH THESE IF YOU DON’T WANT ANY TLOU SPOILERS!!
‘Naughty’ watches throughout history (NSFW):
History of german flieger watches explained:
I know, I know – this is really different from the videos I usually do but I just could not resist! The Last Of Us is one of my all time favourite games and the fact that it includes a watch SO significant for its story is even better! So I had to sit down and make a video about it 🙂
If you have enjoyed it, make sure to give it a thumbs up to let me know that you want to see more content like this!
Thank you for watching

This was a great video. I forgot about Joel's watch, but this was a great reminder. I didn't expect a Last of Us video from one of the watch channels I follow. Appreciate it!
Oh my goodness, has not anyone said it before? Jenni is just so beautiful…
Casio will survive a nuclear apocalypse
What an epic downer
Two of my favorite things: watches and video games! Thank you! 🙂
I’ve been digging through posts trying to find the closest I can get to this watch and i’ve owned all along a 43mm Timex Expedition Chrono in black DLC, i’m going to polish the coating off and expose the bronze case and put it on this green nylon strap, call it the Joel Miller.
Imagine if Hamilton made this watch? 🤯
I will definitely come back after I've seen the episodes!
That’s a Timex weekender case on the show… the closet dial that Timex produced in that case(that I could find) was the Timex Men's TW2P86700 Weekender 40 Mini-Sweep Titanium-Tone
What current watches would you say most accurately match the watch in the show and in the game?
When the game came out I wanted a watch like that and it’s a memory that was repressed until the show came out
Me 2
I think this is a Lüm-Tec Combat B watch
(i haven’t watched the whole video by the time i’m writing this)
joel’s watch breaks the SAME time sarah dies. time quite literally stops for him in that moment and it’s why the grief and pain is still so fresh to him even 20 years later. he touches his watch every time he thinks of his first daughter. the watch does not only signify his birthday and a present from his daughter, but it can also be a metaphor for the pause/stop of societal progress due to that same day being outbreak day.
Never heard of. Thought it to be a new watch brand.
Huge TLOU fan and as a equally big watch fan, needless to say this video made my day to see 🙂
Thank you! and more content like this is an awesome idea.
I have a Sangin Instruments Overlord and Joel's watch looks almost exactly like it!
Unfortunately it's not The Last of us but: The WOKE of us.
You think it’s a single pusher chrono? If that is a small seconds subdial – it clearly has a large central seconds hand.
I watched your videos before and enjoyed them. I love watches obviously 🙂 being subscribed to Teddy Baldassarre, Long Island Watch, Just One More Watch, The Urban Gentry… My favorite games of all time are TLOU and TLOU2 (yes i liked the sequel too) and I have to say you have win me over now. Subscribed!
P.S. I hope you get your hands on that Cartier Tank you want
The series went to crap in 30 min. Total Rubbish….But I did wonder which watch it was.
They actually made that watch for the game.. limited edition and I'm sure it's now more expensive than one would want to pay for one on 2nd hand market.
There is a Lum-Tec Super Combat B2 that is closest looking to Joel's watch.
Otherwise, a completely fictional watch which is more for just the story than for the true watch fan.
I thought it was funny the watchmaker said it needed a spring to fix. The only thing that could remotely be a spring in that quartz movement is maybe the battery cell contacts.. sometimes they are spring like in their tension.. but, it's not what a watchmaker would call a "spring". Just should have said it needs a new battery.. which may have been equally funny Joel was either too cheap or lazy to replace a battery.
What’s the difference between giving someone a watch as a gift and «gifting» it?
This might be the inspiration for the watch:
Lum-Tec-B2-Super-Combat-Solid–17778
I don’t know if you already made a video of this but can you do one about the different watches Jennifer Aniston uses for THE MORNING SHOW.
It’s a Lüm-Tec Super Combat B2
Is it just me or Jenni in this video kinda looks like Ellie ha ha. The grown up version
MSTR made the watch for the PlayStation store with a seiko quartz movement that is now being sold on eBay for $6000 😂 its a very close representation except in the game the bezel is coin while the one made by MSTR and worn on the show has a smooth bezel.
I found an extremely similar one made by Invicta vintage 37071 with a white dial sold on jomashop on sale for $49.99 retail $595
Or just buy an Etsy one for $70 🤣
Other watches that has a similar look are:
Fortis classic second automatic $2195
Mont Blanc 1858 small second special edition €3220
Idc big pilot heritage watch 48 €15,200
Patek Philippe calatrava pilot travel time 42,000 Swiss francs
Archimede large 45mm pilots watch €940
I’m going to get the invicta cuz I like the white dial better and not because I’m cheap and I don’t feel like spending more than $50 on a prop watch 🤣
When your doughter fix your watch and at 11:35 in the video it still show the same time.
Played both TLOU 1&2 so many times. Absolutely brilliant storyline which is both heartbreaking and exciting at the same time. The fact they turned a video game in to a TV show goes to show how great the story really was.
I always call out watches in shows and movies. If I don't know what it is I'll try to look it up, so I appreciate this video. Looking forward to playing this game in March when it comes out on PC.
Weird. There's nothing like a good backstory to market a product but in this example there is no product,🤔
The watch in the game is pretty much an exact representation of the Lum-Tec Super Combat B2, and at first i thought the on in the show was a MSTR official tlou watch, but the lack of crownguards indicate that it is a unique piece for the show.
Its a soki watch like mine from Chinatown
Are you not on Twitter?
The odd thing is no one talks about the quartz movement thing. That watch had to has automatic movement because it will be really important in the further episodes 5:42
Loved this video! Loved this game too haha. Gotta get myself a khaki field…. Or IWC…
