I enjoy looking out for watches in movies and recently watched a film called All Is Lost starring Robert Redford. It's a survival story of a sailor stranded at sea and is unusual in that there is no dialogue as he's all alone. It didn't take long for me to notice the watch on his right hand and after a quick search online, found that it was in fact a Seiko SKX009. It's a classic diver from Seiko with 20 bar water resistance and the crown comfortably located between 3 and 4 o'clock. The movement is automatic and features day and date apertures at 3 o'clock. The bezel is the 'Pepsi' red and blue variety which has been familiar on Seiko watches for decades.
This watch is normally available for sale with a Jubilee steel bracelet or diver's strap but in the movie, Redford wears it on a black (or possibly dark blue) Nato strap. Prices in the UK range between £190 and £220 from online retailers at the time of writing, depending on the type of strap selected and the watch is widely available.
