Sean Bean wears a Victorinox Crusader

Sean Bean's Patrick Koster moves the minute hand of his Victorinox Crusader forward on screen, resetting it as part of a precisely timed kidnapping scheme. In Don't Say a Word (2001), he plays a thief who kidnaps a psychiatrist's (Michael Douglas) daughter to extract a number from a catatonic patient. The watch becomes a prop in the literal sense — an object used to apply pressure.

The Crusader is well-made and affordable, the kind of thing a competent professional buys when he wants reliability over status. On Koster, it fits a man who plans carefully and doesn't waste money on appearances.
