Harvey Keitel plays the unnamed Lieutenant, credited only as "LT," in Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant (1992), from a screenplay Ferrara co-wrote with Zoe Lund. He is a New York cop who steals from crime scenes, snorts cocaine in his squad car, and gambles himself into ruin on the baseball playoffs, all while nominally investigating the rape of a nun. The film's NC-17 rating kept it out of most theaters, and Keitel's performance is what holds it together.

On the Lieutenant's wrist is a plain stainless steel watch with a rectangular case, a white dial with Arabic numerals, and an expanding metal band, as catalogued in BAMF Style's costume breakdown. It is the kind of inexpensive, functional watch a working cop would actually wear. The exact brand is not named in any source and cannot be read on screen, so the long-standing Timex attribution stays unconfirmed.
