I'm not CIA, I'm a link goddamn actor, you know that. The only organization I'm link a part of is the link Screen Actors Guild of America … and AFTRA, but I don't even know what that is – I think it's a radio thing, just put down the gun!

It's also widely believed to be the first automatic chronograph used in space, link another quiet first for Seiko. It's just a few more years until the 50th anniversary of that milestone. Here's to hoping Seiko has something in store for us.
