Sci-fi, Sudoku, and Seiko. Is that sufficient to pique your curiosity in a tv present? Properly, both approach, these three elements contribute to FX’s new collection Devs which is now streaming solely on Hulu.
Devs is a brand new present from the thoughts of Alex Garland (of Ex Machina fame) and stars Nick Offerman. The present facilities round a know-how firm referred to as Amaya, and the central character within the opening episode is recruited to work in one in every of its extra secretive divisions, referred to as Devs, earlier than immediately disappearing.
Mysterious, I do know.
The present options imagery evocative of 2001: A House Odyssey (however fully earthbound), a temper harking back to the Shining, and a neo-noir spirit in additional of the David Lynch and/or Fincher mildew. To place it mildly, Devs is a thriller wrapped in a puzzle, within a maze.
The watch in query is nothing lower than the much-beloved Seiko SKX007, and by the seems of it, we have now a 007J mannequin on the Seiko OEM rubber dive strap. The watch is worn by the character Sergei, and it’s with him all through the episode.

For these unfamiliar, the SKX line was launched by Seiko in 1996 and remained a staple of the Seiko line for over 20 years earlier than being discontinued. An ISO rated dive watch worn by skilled divers and desk divers alike, this watch’s legend continues to develop with time.
With out spoiling something, I’ll say that the watch has a close to scene-stealing position within the episode itself. You actually can’t miss it. However simply in case, be sure you pay shut consideration.
