Stephen Colbert's new wrist watch -- what is it?

Sorry, for some reason I am totally fixated on Stephen Colbert's wrist wear. I have previously read about his watches on this forum: https://www.watchuseek.com/f2/stephen-colberts-desk-diving-watch-528197-2.html

The other day, I noticed he was wearing a new one. I could not identify it, so I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me could take a look at the screen shot (attached) and tell me what it might be. This is from the Jan. 18th/David Frum Colbert Report (at 3mins).

Colbert has a couple of TAG Heuers (a Monaco and a 2000), but this is neither of those. From the fuzzy picture, I can't really tell, but maybe someone can recognize its lines. It is stainless, with a white face, and it looks like it has a fixed bezel. Maybe a Rolex Milgauss (but no orange)? My best guess is a TAG Heuer Carerra Twin Time. Any other possibilities out there?

Thanks. You might be right about that. I keep going back to the Carrera... if not the Twin Time with a white face, them maybe the Calibre 5 or Calibre 6? Am I totally wrong about the shape?

I thought it was a white face because it looks more white in the video than the photo. It might look a little pearl on Colbert's wrist, but that could be that the watch has less light on it than it does in the catalog picture. Look how dark the band is on his wrist. Let me know if you think the face is not white in the video.

Nah, Colbert likes his TAGs. Also seen wearing a Monaco.

For those that don't know him, Steven Colbert is a political satirist who manages quite well skewering both liberals and conservatives in one sentence.

Watching Colbert tonight and was wondering about this watch and I thought it might be a Perrelet diver except that it's got a red logo at 12 o'clock.

From my anecdotal experience people who love politics, can't stand this guy. Most people who love Colbert, know nothing about politics. I fall squarely in the former camp. That said, it sort of shows how watch watchbrained I am when I would somehow respect the idiot more if he were wearing a Grand Seiko...

I too have noticed his watches recently, and how he changes things up. I've even paused the show, but have not been able to identify most of what he wears.

Glad to see he got the Late Show spot. Always thought there is gno one on late night television that offers that type of intelligent but silly humor. What's funny is how any guest that is contentious and fancies themselves as an intellectual always backs down from Colbert, because they know they cannot match his quick wit, knowledge, and intelligence.

From the 3 shows I've seen, he's switched between an Apple Watch and either Rolex Sub or DSSD
