Watches

Aquastar Benthos
Worn by Kurt Russell as Jack Burton. Truck driver Jack Burton wears a serious 1970s dive chronograph; clean examples are now hard to find. Burton's watch is exposed as he raises his hands to adjust the cloth at his neck. The broad round housing and dark dial sit below his jacket sleeve. The scene gives a casual wearing context for the substantial dive watch, rather than demonstrating a depth rating or timing a dive. (scene image)
Rolex Datejust
Worn by Donald Li as Eddie Lee. Montres de Luxe identifies Eddie's watch as a yellow-gold Rolex Datejust. (Montres de Luxe) Eddie's gold bracelet is exposed while he extends his arms to aim the handgun beside Burton. The watch sits on the gun-hand wrist, partly concealed by the bent arm and sleeve. This action view ties the accessory to Eddie, with the case easier to distinguish than the tiny dial markings. (scene image)
