SCARCE 1995 X-FILES TV-Series WATCH (wristwatch) in Box NMIB Possible Promo Item

Description

Original 1995 wristwatch made by Becora for the "X-Files" series, with black real leather band, stainless steel back and Japan movement. Comes in black hinged watch box with red and white interior.
Haven't seen another like this. Becora made custom watches for Disney employees, so it may be a promo or industry gift.
Condition: Box contains original two-year limited Becora warranty documentation. Watch band is not entirely stiff and flat, so it may have been tried on at one point, but clearly never worn. Watch face is glossy and new with no scuffs or scratches, and marked TM (c) '95 TCFFC (Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation). The text on the watch face photographs more white, but in person appears more of a light grey. Battery has died since 1995, so will require standard size watch battery replacement. Back is easily removed.
From IMDB:
Two FBI agents, Fox Mulder (David Duchovny)
and Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson) work in an unassigned detail of the bureau called the X-Files investigating cases dealing with unexplained paranormal phenomena. Mulder, a true believer, and Scully, a skeptic, perceive their cases from stand points of science and the paranormal.

The famous echoing chord from the theme music was a fluke. Composer Mark Snow accidentally rested his elbow on his keyboard with the echo function on and he liked the resulting sound so much, he wrote the theme around it.
* In the early years of the series, Mulder is a firm believer in extraterrestrials and Scully is skeptical. In real life, this is the opposite, David Duchovny being the skeptic and Gillian Anderson the believer.
* When casting the role of the Cigarette Smoking Man, the producers had no idea the character would turn into a major role in the series. When the character became more prominent, they worried that William B. Davis, who had only been cast as an extra, would not be able to carry the part. As it turned out, Davis, who is one of the most respected acting teachers in Canada, impressed series creator Chris Carter so much that he made the Cigarette Smoking Man the main villain of the series.
* Gillian Anderson has declared several times that her favorite episode is "Bad Blood" and David Duchovny that his favorite end in an episode is 'The Post-Modern Prometheus'', in which Mulder and Scully dance together. Also, they agree that the third season episode "Teso Dos Bichos" is the worst one, with Anderson calling it "that one episode about killer pussycats".
* Props from Mulder's X-Files office are currently preserved and on display at the Hollywood Entertainment Museum in Los Angeles. According to the museum, the famous I Want to Believe UFO poster from the office continually had to be replaced as copies kept disappearing from the set. The poster on display at the museum is reportedly one of the last available copies of the original set-used posters.
* At twenty-nine, Gillian Anderson was the first actress to win an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award in the same year, and the youngest actress to win a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series since Lindsay Wagner won at the age of twenty-eight in 1977 for The Bionic Woman (1976).
* Gillian Anderson has stated that she based her approach to the role of Dana Scully on Jodie Foster's performance as Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Ironically, a contractual obligation to "The X-Files" prohibiting her from playing an F.B.I. agent in any other role prevented her from being offered the part of Clarice Starling in the "Silence" sequel, Hannibal (2001). Later, she joined the Hannibal (2013) series as Bedelia Du Maurier.
* Chris Carter lists All the President's Men (1976) as one of his inspirations for the series. There are numerous references to the film, including the shadowy informer Deep Throat, meetings in underground parking garages and hints at conspiracies which stretch all the way to the F.B.I.
* Vince Gilligan, one of the most beloved writers of the series by both the fans and the critics and future creator of Breaking Bad (2008) & Better Call Saul, usually refers to this series as his favorite job ever.
* The character Senator Richard Matheson was an homage to noted sci-fi writer Richard Matheson, whose writing inspired Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974), the show that inspired Chris Carter to create this series.
* Lucy Lawless' character Shannon McMahon was meant to become a major recurring character in the show's final season. A high-risk pregnancy, however, forced Lawless to leave the show after only two appearances.
* Mulder saw Edward D. Wood, Jr.'s Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957) 42 times. He also lives in apartment number 42. 42 is the answer to life, the universe, and everything from Douglas Adams's "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", another cult science fiction story.
* Mulder's sister Samantha was abducted while she and Fox were watching an episode of The Magician (1973). When Patricia Hearst was kidnapped by the SLA, she was watching "The Magician" with her boyfriend Steven Weed.
* There were many stars who appeared in this series before they became famous: Giovanni Ribisi, Jack Black, Lucy Liu, Ryan Reynolds, Luke Wilson, Aaron Paul, Seth Green, Felicity Huffman, Michael Bublé, Terry O'Quinn, Bryan Cranston, and Willie Garson. The series also attracted a lot of actors and actresses who were quite famous even before the series came on: Jodie Foster, Cary Elwes, Robert Patrick, John Neville, Peter Boyle, Burt Reynolds, Frances Fisher, Roy Thinnes, Minnie Driver, Garry Shandling, Lance Henriksen, Lily Tomlin, Edward Asner, Lily Taylor, and Mimi Rogers.
* The Lone Gunmen characters became so popular that they were briefly given their own short-lived series, The Lone Gunmen (2001).
