The Taking of Pelham 123 -horological goof

Terrific movie from 2009 with Denzel Washington and John Travolta. If you haven’t seen it -Travolta is hijacking a NYC subway to ransom the passengers. He gives Washington ( the transit representative) one hour to deliver 10 million in cash.
They show the wrist shot of the 3 hand white face Breitling (unfortunately no long shot here). Then -several minutes later there is a long shot of Travolta with a black face chronograph.
Someone missed this wardrobe glitch!
Travolta did Breitling ads so no doubt has several.
My wife says -only a watch obsessed person would notice this!
Anyone else out there?

Don't recall if a watch was used in the 1974 original but the cast of Walter Matthau, Robert Shaw, Martin Balsam etc made it a much better film than later remake!
