Steve McQueen in “The War Lover” 1962

Depends you had some watches which were quite big. Longines, Panerai ( Rolex ), IWC, Omega had watches which were way above 40 mm.

Perhaps he wore his personal 417? Pretty close to Hanharts of WW2 era...

Pretty small for a man’s watch -possibly a Cartier Tank?

Valentino insisted on wearing it no matter what century the movie depicted.
