Owen Wilson plays Ned Plimpton in Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Ned is a Kentucky airline pilot who may be the son of Bill Murray's character Steve Zissou. He boards the Belafonte, Zissou's research vessel, and joins the crew.
The watch on Wilson's wrist is a Rolex GMT-Master II, reference 16710, the "Pepsi" configuration with the blue and red 24-hour bidirectional rotating bezel. 40mm stainless steel Oyster case, sapphire crystal, black dial with applied luminous indices, Mercedes hour hand, red 24-hour GMT hand, Cyclops over the date at three, Oyster bracelet. Automatic movement. 100 meters of water resistance. The 16710 was produced from 1989 to 2007.
The watch is Wilson's own. Team Zissou wears matching blue wetsuits and Vostok Amphibia dive watches; Ned wears the Rolex. The contrast reads in every shared frame.
