Watches

Seiko SKX009

Worn by Robert Redford as Our Man. Fratello identifies it as the Pepsi-bezel SKX009, a 200m automatic diver with the offset crown at four o'clock, worn on a blue NATO instead of the stock jubilee bracelet. Viewers disagree about the strap colour: it reads burgundy in cinema prints and blue on digital transfers. (Fratello: Watch Spotting: Seiko SKX009 In "All Is Lost") Montres de Luxe instead credits the watch as a Seiko SKX175, a related diver from the same 7S26-powered SKX family; nothing in the wordless film settles the bezel and dial colours cleanly enough to choose between the two references, leaving the choice between SKX009 and SKX175 unresolved. (Montres de Luxe) BAMF Style comes down on the SKX175, which it says a Seiko brand statement names, and treats the two as the same watch apart from the import markings on the dial and case back of the SKX175; it describes the strap as a dark navy nylon NATO. (BAMF Style) Hodinkee, which credits props to Tony Perez, has the SKX009 on Redford's right wrist, as with all his other watches on and off screen, and reads it as the "K" reference, without the "Made in Japan" or "21 Jewels" dial text of the "J" versions, a reading that runs against the import-marked SKX175 alternative above; it describes the strap as a blue NATO with sun-bleached red fading, and times the first clear look at 00:04:55 as his wrist turns to the camera and a second at 00:20:50 as he tries to fix the flooded radio.
