Will Smith wears a Breitling

Will Smith plays Captain Steven Hiller in Independence Day (1996), a Marine F/A-18 pilot and aspiring astronaut who punches an alien in the face, drags it across the desert, and delivers the line "Welcome to Earth." A hotshot aviator is exactly the kind of character a pilot's watch would suit.

The watch has not been reliably identified. A watch-spotting site lists a Breitling, but the specific model it names is a Breitling Professional that did not exist until well after 1996, and no watch is clearly visible in the available stills, so the identification stays at brand level at most and is best treated as unconfirmed.
