BG: Personal Bodyguard (2018)

BG: Personal Bodyguard

Yumiko Inoue created this TV Asahi drama, following Takuya Kimura's Akira Shimazaki, a bodyguard who left the profession after an accident involving a soccer-star client, as he returns to lead a private security company's newly formed bodyguard division. (TMDB) The first ten-episode season aired in Japan in 2018, with a second season following on TV Asahi in 2020.

Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Chronometer Master Co-Axial 231.13.39.21.03.001

Worn by Takuya Kimura as Akira Shimazaki. Costume-loan supplier Jackroad documents unusually detailed provenance for the second season: the watch is written into the story as a gift from Shimazaki's ex-wife, so when the discontinued Aqua Terra used for that plot point could no longer be sourced new, Jackroad supplied a brand-new example of the original ref. 231.13.39.21.03.001 to replace the newer 220.13.41.21.03.001 that filming had started with, matching the reference established in the first season's Omega-supplied unit. The swap happens mid-shoot and is visible in the dial pattern and date position. (Jackroad)

Grand Seiko 5722-9991

Worn by Isao Hashizume as Kyoichi Samejima. Jackroad's brand-ranking retrospective credits Hashizume with a Grand Seiko "Second," ref. 5722-9991, on this production without naming a season. The supplier's own original per-episode post, published for the January 18, 2018 broadcast of episode 6, names Hashizume's character, a retired prime minister who requests bodyguard protection after receiving anonymous threats despite his security detail's termination, and records a "Seiko / Grand Seiko" loan for that same episode; the matching character, actor, and near-simultaneous post date place this appearance in the first season rather than the 2020 second season, which the retrospective does not otherwise touch.
