I will need to dig a bit further as I knew about "Ripley's" Seiko in Aliens and guess there were a few others although not as famous. I wonder if the Director Ridley Scott was turned on to the brand while filming? This I think when he was working on Point Break? Caught a picture of him while scrolling click bait at lunch. Look like an Arnie to me.  |

Seiko had a spell of placing product in films. Three watches in Aliens and several in James Bond around that time. No doubt some more that I’ve forgotten. I’ve read that the Arnie was Arnie’s own watch which is why it’s in a few films, how true that is I don’t know. And the 6105 was that the propmaster from Apocalypse Now sources it?
