So called Steve McQueen 'Big Orange' (Hand) for its rumored history of being the Rolex watch Steve McQueen wore when he wasn't being paid to wear a heuer (or other) watch.  The Big Orange Hand refers to the comically oversized Orange luminous triangular hand that indicates 24 hour military zulu time using the 24 hour scale on the bezel.  (Funny enough, Steve McQueen was never seen wearing a Rolex 1655 but that hasn't prevented the Steve McQueen King of Cool moniker from sticking for the past 30+ years.)
