Independence Day opens not with the White House exploding but with a signal. In a monitoring station full of reel-to-reel tape decks and blinking consoles, a SETI technician picks a transmission out of the static, the first sign that what is approaching Earth is not natural. James Wong plays him, credited only as SETI Tech One, reaching up to the racks in a patterned aloha shirt.

On his wrist is a gold watch with a dark dial on a gold bracelet. The dial sits too small in frame to read a brand, and no source identifies it, so it stays an unidentified gold watch.
