Stay connected, galaxies apart and far beyond black holes deep in space. “Interstellar” fans know that watches played a major role in the film … and it’s even Murph’s timepiece that eventually helped her solve the equation for gravity, allowing humans to safely depart the crumbling Earth. 

But long before humanity was saved, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) presented Murph with a custom-made Hamilton watch that creates an invisible link between them and becomes an important tool for communicating through time and space.

The specially designed watch was so beloved by fans that the brand actually put it into production … and the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph Auto is still a fan favorite, years later.

Cooper had his own timepiece in the film too, the Hamilton Khaki Aviation Pilot Day-Date Auto — affectionately known as The Coop.

He brings it with him on his journey far from home, making it a symbol of all that he’s left behind … and it’ll surely become a symbolic piece for the father figure in your life too. 

Our suggestion: buy The Murph for yourself and give your ol’ man The Coop. That way you’ll both always be connected … across space and time.

If your dad would do anything to provide a future for you — or at least likes to imagine he would, just like Walter White — then the Tag Heuer Monaco Chronograph is the watch for him.

Of course, “Breaking Bad” fans know Walt wasn’t exactly Father of the Year –consistently rationalizing his criminal behavior by claiming it was all to provide for his family. Still, as TV dads go, few are more memorable.

The timepiece was a gift from Jesse Pinkman in honor of Walt’s 51st birthday. The watch also marked his transformation into a full-on crime lord and crystal meth kingpin — making it one of the most recognizable watches in television history.

The Monaco’s legacy extends far beyond Vince Gilligan’s universe. Legendary actor Steve McQueen wore the watch in 1971’s Le Mans, cementing its status as a motorsports icon. Unlike Walt’s life choices, the Tag Heuer Monaco is guaranteed to age well, making it a gift your dad will never forget — and one he’ll be wearing for years to come.

If your relationship with your old man is of the contentious kind — or used to be — this is the perfect way to commemorate it!

We kid … of course. However, if your dad is a super Star Wars fan — and has an epic sense of humor — then he might just love this beautiful tribute to one of the most epic lightsaber duels in a galaxy far, far away between Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader on Cloud City. 

This Citizen Star Wars Stainless Steel Watch features a graphic that recreates the iconic battle and neon watch hands made to symbolize lightsabers, it’s a subtle tribute to one of pop culture’s most notorious father-son duos. 

If your dad is counting down the days until the next family trip to Disneyland/Disney World or is just a big fan of Mickey Mouse, then he’s going to love this Citizen Tee Time Mickey Mouse Stainless Steel Watch.

Featuring a graphic of a dapper Mickey on the golf course complemented by a black and green bezel, this watch is such a unique gift for Disney lovers.

Whether you pick it up for your hubby or your little one gives it as a gift to dad, it’s guaranteed to be a hole in one.
