(USA Films, 2000) This watch was used on screen by Morgan Freeman as "Charlie". The Swiss Army watch was the personal property of the film's prop master and loaned to the production for use by Mr. Freeman. This prop was acquired from the film's prop department and below is text provided to us from the prop crew.

One of the first things to do when you begin prep on a film is to establish the principle character props. This involves multiple meetings with both the actors as well as the director. When I met with Morgan to have him choose his props, I showed him hundreds of watches to choose from. Morgan saw my watch and asked if he could try it on. I handed him my watch and not only was it a perfect fit but he then proclaimed "I'll take this one". No problem (or so I thought!). Later, I find out that getting duplicates was impossible and Morgan could not be dissuaded from wanting THIS exact watch. THIS watch was my personal favorite and I hated having to use it in the movie. To make matters worse, I would later have to leave the film early to be with my wife for the birth of our first daughter. I agreed to leave the watch in their capable care if they agreed to return it to me upon completion of the film. Suitable for picture "in an emergency" duplicates were found for stunts and backup but THIS watch was the ONLY one used on Morgan Freeman and it was returned to me. This is THE SET WORN watch used by Morgan Freeman and no other watches were used.
