In Leviathan, in a wet, close struggle on the station floor, a fist clenches and a black watch with a red marker shows at the wrist. It belongs to Tony Rodero, the crewman called DeJesus, played by Michael Carmine in George Cosmatos's 1989 deep-sea horror about a mining crew that opens a sunken Soviet wreck and brings its curse aboard.
DeJesus works the seabed alongside the rest of the crew, hauling salvage into a station a mile down, until the thing in the recovered vodka begins turning the men into something with scales. Carmine plays him as one of the hands caught between the creature loose in the corridors and the long, impossible climb to the surface.
The watch is a black tool diver with a red second hand and a dark dial, the working watch of a man who spends his shifts at depth, but no maker's mark survives the frame, so it stays unidentified. It rides his wrist through a film where the water itself is the enemy, pumped through a station that was never built to hold what the crew pulled out of the dark.
