Terence Stamp at 60 looked like a weapon someone had put in a suit. Steven Soderbergh cast him as Wilson in The Limey (1999), a British ex-convict who flies to Los Angeles to find out who killed his daughter. The film is a revenge story told out of order — Soderbergh cuts between past and present, using footage of Stamp from Ken Loach's Poor Cow (1967) as flashbacks, so the young Stamp and the old Stamp exist in the same movie. Peter Fonda plays the aging record producer Wilson suspects. The cast is built on the ghosts of 1960s cool.
This promotional image shows Stamp silhouetted against the LA skyline, smoking a cigarette in a dark suit. No watch is visible in this shot. A steel watch has been noted on his wrist in the film, which fits Wilson — a man who spent years in prison and wouldn't own anything flashy. Whatever he wears is what he had before he went in, or something he bought cheap on the way out. The make and model haven't been identified.
