File:Broken Arrow (1996) - Breitling Aerospace scene.jpg

Summary

Description: Broken Arrow (1996). Extreme close-up insert shot of the two-tone titanium-and-gold Breitling Aerospace worn on the wrist of John Travolta's character, rogue Air Force officer Major Vic Deakins, on a dark leather strap. The dial's digital LCD readout shows "11.12.00", matching the film's climax where Deakins manipulates the timer on the stolen nuclear warhead. The watch is shown worn on-wrist (skin and jacket cuff visible at the frame edges) rather than in a wide shot of the actor's face, so this is an insert/close-up of the watch on the character's wrist, not a full-body or facial shot. This is the same insert shot, same LCD reading, as the previously published image, effectively the same instant of film, re-sourced at far higher resolution.

Modifications: Downloaded the cited YouTube clip's native 1920x1080 video stream (yt-dlp, format itag 137, h.264) and extracted a single frame at approximately 17.2s showing the watch dial reading "11.12.00", matching the moment in the previously published image. Pixel-level inspection (row-mean/max profiling) confirmed the source frame carries encoded letterbox bars at rows 0-139 and rows 940-1079 of the 1920x1080 frame (pure black, matching the film's native ~2.35:1 Panavision scope ratio inside the 16:9 video canvas) and confirmed the video content itself (rows 140-939) is completely clean of any watermark; the only non-black content in the bottom bar was a "FANDANGO MOVIECLIPS" channel watermark logo confined entirely inside the bottom black bar. Cropped the frame to rows 140-939 (removing both encoded black bars per the standard allowed letterbox crop), which also fully removes the watermark as a side effect of that crop, no separate watermark-excision crop was needed, and none of the watch, wrist, or scene content was cropped. Result is a clean, letterbox-free, watermark-free 1920x800 frame (native ~2.4:1) with no pillarboxing. No upscaling, sharpening, or other alteration was performed. Related page: Broken Arrow (1996)
