Good Day!
Can anyone tell or does anyone know the make and model of the LCD watch Carl Sagan wore on the show Cosmos? Your help is much appreciated. I'm attaching web site with pic, below.
Thank you.

Looks suspiciously like one of the Seiko H239 watches- can't give you the full model number for that case, bracelet and dial style (but as a guess probably a H239-5030).

This has been niggling at me so I went away and looked up all the Carl Sagan photos I could find- he wears this watch for a period of at least ten years and I am now of the opinion that it is not a Seiko H239 but a Seiko H127 model- the big square digital display is common on H127s but only appeared on a couple of H239s which normally have a large trapezoidal digital display under the analog section.
