10 Movie Character Details You Didn't Notice

The delicious detail on offer throughout Wes Anderson's dramatic comedy The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou ensures this distinct feature delivers you something new and rewarding upon each and every watch.

Yet, this scrumptious texture isn't merely on show aboard the Belafonte as we drink in the various vibrant compartments of the famous oceanographer's ship, from relaxing sauna to technologically advanced kitchen. In fact, one of the most intriguing details you'll find in the feature finds itself hiding in plain sight throughout much of the runtime.

As it turns out, if you focus on what type of watch each of the characters are wearing aboard the mighty vessel, it tells you an awful lot about the person it's attached to.

While Ned, Steve Zissou's supposed long-lost son and an airline pilot, boasts a Rolex GMT Master, a watch known to be preferred by pilots, Steve and the majority of Team Zissou are seen decked out in Vostok Amphibias, rather cheap Russian diver's watches. The latter also acts as another reminder of Steve's ever-decreasing funding.

As another interesting side note: the watch worn by Steve was actually a special edition version designed specifically for the movie!
