Season four of Amazon’s LA cop drama *Bosch* debuted last week, and I’ve been stalling writing about it, even though I devoured the entire season in a guilt-ridden, caffeine-fueled binge. Part of my procrastination stems from the sheer density of the plot, the morally grey areas explored, and the relentless pace. But another, perhaps more surprising, element contributing to my delay is the subtle, yet persistent, fascination with Harry Bosch's wristwatch. Specifically, the Rolex Submariner that seems to be his constant companion throughout the series. This article delves into the iconic timepiece, examining its role in the show, its real-world significance, and exploring the broader question of what Harry Bosch's watches tell us about the character himself.
Harry Bosch Rolex Review: More Than Just a Timepiece
The Rolex Submariner worn by Titus Welliver, the actor portraying Harry Bosch, isn't just a prop; it's a character in itself. It's a subtle visual cue, a silent observer of the brutal realities of Bosch's life. The watch, often glimpsed during tense interrogations, quiet moments of reflection, or amidst chaotic crime scenes, transcends its function as a mere timekeeping device. It becomes a symbol of resilience, reliability, and the enduring nature of Bosch himself. Unlike the fleeting nature of many of the cases he investigates, the Rolex remains a constant, a testament to his unwavering commitment to justice, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
A review of the Rolex Submariner as depicted in *Bosch* must acknowledge its inherent symbolism. The Submariner, a watch known for its robustness and precision, mirrors Bosch's own character traits. It's a watch built to withstand pressure, much like Bosch endures the relentless pressures of his job. The sleek, understated design reflects Bosch's own pragmatic and unflashy nature. He’s not one for ostentation; the Rolex is a tool, a functional piece of equipment, not a status symbol. Its presence speaks volumes about Bosch's preference for quality and dependability, values that are central to his character.
The watch's functionality is also crucial. The Submariner's water resistance, luminescent hands, and rotating bezel are all features that would be invaluable to a detective working in the field. While not explicitly highlighted in the show, the implicit understanding of its practicality adds another layer to its significance. It's a watch that's as capable as the man who wears it. This isn't a delicate dress watch; it's a tool for a man who works in a tough, unforgiving environment. The subtle scratches and wear and tear visible on the watch over the seasons further enhance this sense of realism and authenticity, reflecting the hardships Bosch endures.
