Good guess guys....but the 6105 diver appeared in "The Deep"....
...not in "Jaws". The character "Romer Treece" wore 2 Seikos actually, one was a VERY old 60's 150m dive model (non-locking crown) and the other was certainly the 6105-8XXX (of Apocalypse Now fame) in a brief underwater shot.
The watch worn in Jaws was an Swiss off-brand-name Steel diver made by a subsidiary company run by Breitling...most likely the "Wakmann" trade name. Some speculate that it was an Omega, but no such model fitting the description was ever produced.
The watch worn in "The Abyss" was absolutely a 6309 diver...yeah baby.
Probably too much info...sorry.
