The watches in Rambo - very slight spoiler

I saw the new Rambo movie this weekend. It was very, very awesome.

To anyone else who's seen it: Do you know anything of the watches the mercenaries in that movie wore to coordinate their attack? I'm sure the watches were military in nature but I really liked the look of them. Anyone know where I could find something like that? I imagine they're probably way more expensive than I'd guess.

    It would help if you could tell us whoch watch you have in mind, as there were several. There was 511 HRT watch (observer model, me thinks) in there: http://lapolicegear.com/5tafiopsobwa.html
    As well as a Traser of some sort: http://www.lapolicegear.com/trh3wa.html

    You might find them cheaper if you look around.

    Rambo hasn't premiered here in Copenhagen yet - but I did stumble across this exchange on aicn.com:

    Can you explain the story behind Rambo's wrist watch?

    10.) I’m not exactly sure how to answer this but an old military watch made by Panerai is used. It’s not in circulation and it’s anodized casing is the type that Rambo would use. So I thought why not have him wear something that is old and authentic, reflective of who he is.
