Beverly Hills Cop (1984)

Beverly Hills Cop

Detroit detective Axel Foley talks his way into a Beverly Hills homicide investigation and dismantles it on instinct, ignoring jurisdiction, procedure, and nearly everyone's patience. Directed by Martin Brest, the highest-grossing film of 1984. (IMDb)

Watches

Casio AQ-30W

Worn by Eddie Murphy as Axel Foley. Foley wears a black-resin Casio AQ-30W, an ana-digi from Casio's 1983 catalog that stacks an analog dial over a single-line LCD. It suits a detective who runs on improvisation and buys a watch without ceremony: capable early-digital-era hardware, worn without a thought. The specific reference reads as the AQ-30W-1 in period screengrabs. (BAMF Style; spotting via Watchreel)
